REALLY??? You couldn't have offered these BEFORE you offered the Vizios two weeks ago? I want 3D

Time to revamp the home theater in time for the holidays! Has anyone checked these out in person? Which 3D glasses are the most comfortable?

You ain't ever gonna get rid of those cleaning kits.

Looks like the LG 47" LED TV for $500 is actually a 42"...

Let's try to be optimistic here. :D

it looks like a good projector, but...

at $678 new on amazon (with 1yr warranty / 90 day lamp + free shipping) doesn't make this look like a great price for a refurb.

After discussing it with my husband we purchased the black TV stand. I am hoping we can put it together without killing each other.

The 3D projector has some pretty good reviews on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Optoma-GT750E-Lumen-3D-Gaming-Projector/product-reviews/B005G2HR6W/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1

I really like that it is short throw so I can hang it close to the screen with out worrying about family members walking in front of me distorting the actual picture.

This is a great price for under $550. Optoma is quality as my office has their projectors in all their conference rooms for years now. Think I will pick one up.

Actually, it still says Screen Size 47" above the quantity drop down.

Sorry, let me be more specific:

https://www.woot.com/offers/vizio-42-1080p-lcd-smarttv-w-theater-3d

Can anybody weigh in on whether or not the 42" Vizio would be worth it? I've never gotten a refurbed product from Woot; what is the quality usually like for the refurbed TVs?

I bought the 42" Vizio E3D420VX on Amazon about a month ago for about $450 (new). It's been an incredible TV so far, and the Amazon reviews are spot on. The buttons on the remote lock up sometimes, and you have to wait a few seconds (up to ten) for them to start working correctly; however, if you have Dish, Directv, etc., this won't be an issue. The only time I use the Vizio remote is to turn the 3D on and off, and to turn the motion interpolation on and off (to get rid of the so-called "soap opera effect" when not watching sports). A really nice feature is the built in apps (Netflix, Hulu+, etc.). ENJOY!

Does anybody know if any of these TV's would work with NVIDIA's 3d vision?

Does the VIZIO E3D420VX 42" 1080p TV come with any manufacturers warranty?

What experience have others had with buying VIZIO refurbished TVs?

Will these $25 DLP link glasses work with the Optima 33 DLP 3D projector?

Few questions on LG 42LW5300 42":
1. Can i directly connect this to internet cable and see youtube?
2. Does this package includes 3d glasses?

These are all great TV's, but make sure you take advantage of the great 3d Blu-ray Discs on sale through Friday!

so is this really a 42' or a 47'? The description says 47' screen size right above the drop down for quantity.



[MOD: It's a 42". I'll send that in for fixing. Sorry for the confusion.]

In for 1 of the Vizio 42 3D. Gonna be here before Sunday? Probably not. How can I enjoy football when I know me TV is out there somewhere in a dark warehouse all alone and scared!

I'd like the 42" vizio but I just don't think I can do it after last time. I did get my refund so I don't blame woot. I just don't know if I can go through that again.

Any special claims about better packaging this time too?

Does anyone really watch any 3D anything?

3D doesn't seem to add any value in my opinion.

I'm with you on this one.

You can get the YOUniversal glasses as low as $56.99 with Prime shipping on Amazon. What gives, Woot?


[MOD: You linked to the X104; we are selling the B104. The older X104 is not compatible with EVERY 3D player or projector in the market.  And X104 models DO NOT WORK with RF/BT TVs, Samsung 2011, 2012, Panasonic 2012 models which is more than 60% of 3D TVs.]

Either way you don't want it. It's only a 60hz refresh. That's too low for a 3d tv. You'll notice blurring and tearing. 120 is suggested minimum and 240 is optimal. Remember that refresh is cut in half for 3dtv.

Depends on what movie you watch. Some movies look really good in 3-d, while others are just trying to make the extra $10 by claiming it is 3d. It really is movie specific. Some movies are converted after the fact and are usually terrible. It has to be a movie filmed in 3d. Avatar looks amazing in 3d. I usually review the movie on cinemablend before I buy it to see if it is worth it.

Did you mean Optoma Model HD33? If so, then yes, they will work with any projector that has DLPLink embedded in it. You will need to go into the onscreen menu via HD33 remote and change the 3D to DLPLink from RF which is the default setting.

I've had problems with refurbished from Woot. I bought a LG 55" from woot a while back. It was defective and I had to use the 90-day warranty. The first replacement was damaged in shipping so I rejected it when it was delivered (had a big hole in it and damaged the screen). The 2nd replacement was ok. It was a big hassle though because they have to call you and schedule a time to deliver it(like a 4-hour window). Now the 90-day warranty is just about up, so I have to hope that nothing is wrong with this one.

I'd highly recommend paying more money so that you can just return it to the store if anything is broken on the TV. Costco has a 90-day return policy and extends the factory warranty to 2 years on all their TV I believe. I think I'll get my next TV from Costco.

P.S. Woot wouldn't take it back. They said to use the Warranty.

I have a Samsung HL61A750 DLP HDTV. I currently use the Samsung SSG1000 Glasses and was interested in purchasing the Xpand B104 Universal Glasses. Would they be compatible with the IR Signal from the SSG1000 Emitter? I know I could use the DLP Glasses but I prefer IR. Please advise. Thanks.

Does this come with Glasses or do ya need to get those seperate?

Does anyone have the TV stand? Interested, but it doesn't look too "substantial" - and I've got some pretty heavy a/v gear (huge Yamaha receiver - 50# easy)

stazang wrote:Does this come with Glasses or do ya need to get those seperate?

Glasses are sold seperately. However, you can use with RF GLasses or DLPLink 3D Glasses. Can accomodate both. Just need to change settings in the Onscreen Menu.

Any thoughts on the Panasonic home-theater-in-a-box unit?
