@knowhowtohelp quick question for paul - wrong product

[labrat]

brought a 3d tv last week - have to admit i was a little picky as i wanted 2d-3d and mkv support

 

after going through the specs online with the sales lady (pcw mansfield) we settled on a toshiba 42wl863b

the only issue was the last one left was the disply model which we agreed to take

 

didnt get any sort of manager discount on the disply as i used my staff discount

 

got it home and couldnt get the 2d - 3d conversion working

had to go to work so left it untill this weekend and tried updating the firmware see if that would help

 

wouldnt take the firmware so ive had a good look at the back of the telly and its a 42VL863b not the 42WL863b that we thought

we were getting the main differnce being no 2d-3d conversion

 

so paul what do i do im not really happy about returning the telly as theres nothing else in the price range apart from the logics (very poor reviews), its all connected and its cost around £30 in assorted cabling even off ebay

 

and can you check that the WEH i took out covers a 42VL as if i send it in and its says a 42WL im likely to get it back unrepaired

[labrat]

well id kinda realised that to be fair

 

im not going to return it i was only going to use the 2d - 3d for games and seen as the spec sheet for the next xbox shows blueray and 3d support ill just upgrade to that next year

 

the leads were a mix, theres 3 1.4 hdmi 2x 2m, 1x5m, then there was a component cable for the ps2 as the old coax one didnt fit, then 2x ethernet leads, 1 for the smart tv, one for the smart blue ray, there was also a little hub as id run out of lan ports, then a 6 socket extension lead

 

budget for the tv + blueray player (bd-e5500/xu) + leads + 320gb hdd for 3d films was a total of about £600

[labrat]

no it was sold as a WL

 

as it was the display model its got the model sticker on the reverse of the remote that says WL

they had to print the manual off they printed the WL manual

 

really all i need is the coverplan details updating if there wrong now, had a think about it and im happy without the 2d-3d

 

didnt know about the update allowing sbs from the usb weve been running them through the blueray lately, it played mkv before but wouldnt let you go to 3d mode from it, it had the update around 3 days ago

 

still only got about 20gigs left on the 3d film drive so will try a few direct through tv, weve had the occasional audio issue from the dvd player so it might let us know if its the codecs on that or the files messed up

[labrat]

just tried it does play 3d by usb but its very int mit

 

some it doenst like the audio codec on, some it goes into top - bottom mode although its a sBs

on one of the SBS videos it went into top bottom mode

 

little annoying as it ussually asks you which mode to use but doesnt seem to by usb

 

ill stick to the usb port on the blueray player
