Samsung UE32D6530 32 Inch 3D LCD TV

The Samsung 6 Series televisions of which the UE32D6530 32 Inch LCD TV is one are some of the more affordable of Samsung’s LCD television screens which offer 3D. The UE32D6530 is priced at around £750 which plants it nicely between the more costly Panasonic TX-L32DT30 3D television and the usual cheaper TV screen suspects.

The Samsung UE32D6530 32 Inch 3D LCD TV is a active-shutter type 3D TV screen which means you will have to go out an purchase some of Samsung’s 3D glasses which cost from £50! Yes 3D glasses do get a bit pricey if you have a bigger family. The disigners of the Samsung UE32D6530 clearly believe more is good and bigger is better and the TV set comes with a heroic wealth of features including Samsung’s Smart Hub, BBC iPlayer, LoveFilm’s movie streaming, apps for social media like YouTube and Facebook and an ever useful internet browser.

The Samsung UE32D6530 32 Inch LCD 3D TV itself is so thin it will make any anorexic jealous you really have to see one close up to appreciate how ridiculously slim it is. Technology is always pushing things forwards but the cheap television blogging team can’t really see how televisions can get much thinner than this Samsung, it already appear to be thinner than should be possible. Even so the Samsung UE32D6530 still includes four ever useful HDMI inputs, two USB sockets, a hardly ever used digital audio optical output and the usual array of legacy terminals to plug a plethora of old electronic devices in. None of which harm the aesthetics of this very cool looking television set at all.

The Samsung UE32D6530 inbuilt Freeview HD tuner is simply excellent and something that really makes this 3d LCD television stand out from the rest of the competition at thi price point. The edges are razor sharp and the colour reproduction is fantastically. Almost everything about the picture quality is spot on from excellent colours, realistic skin tones, smooth motion with little or no blur and an amazing sense of depth. The only niggle that slightly lets the Samsung UE32D6530 down where picture quality is concerned is a tiny hint of a blue tinge to the very deepest of blacks (will the now defunct Pioneer Kuro ever be bettered?).

Sound wise the Samsung UE32D6530 32 Inch 3D TV is a little on the lightweight side, although this is to be expected due to the ridiculously slim profile of the television. Most people now own stand alone home cinema speaker systems that can pump the deepest of sounds into neighbours homes so I doubt this would really put anyone off buying this televisions.

It seems the only real issue that stands out a little bit with the Samsung UE32D6530 32 Inch LCD TV is the 3D picture quality. Compared to the best 3D televisions currently on the ever growing market is doesn’t provide the depth and involvement of the very best. Sometimes there can also be the odd picture instability, however this is no different to most of it’s direct competitors.

What HiFi give the Samsung UE32D6530 32 Inch LCD 3D television 5 out of 5 stars and it is their recommended television in the 32 inch category. On their website they enthusiastically say: “A near-faultless marriage of form and function – and it’s a steal at the price”

On Amazon where the Samsung UE32D6530 can be picked up for £599 it has a review score of 4.5 stars out of 5 from 9 reviews which is a very good score. One of the very positive reviews says: ” I bought this Samsung model after the reviews on Amazon and other reviews such as What HiFi. Contrary to many reviews I am extremely pleased with Smart functionality especially the ease with which it linked to my home network QNAP NAS where I store all our music and video”.

If you happen to own a Samsung UE32D6530 32 Inch LCD 3D TV please tell us, the cheap televisions blogging team, what you think of it.

Jason Gardiner Second Hair Transplant Operation

Back in July Jason Gardiner was caught covering up his bald patch to hide it away from celebrity photographers and their prying lenses. So the Dancing On Ice and Born To Shine judge has apparently spent £6,000 on top of the £30,000 he spent a year ago on his first hair transplant operation to cover up the bald spots from the paparazzi and television cameras.
The results after two ops were plain to see as the 39-year-old proudly paraded his new look on the internet. The operation TV judge Jason Gardiner underwent was allegedly Follicular Unit Transplantation (well a top up at least).

Jason Gardiner Twitter Picture After Hair Transplant

After television personality Jason Gardiner posted the hair transplant result pictures on twitter he went on to say:

“Day 1 post op & head is feeling tight with slight dull throbbing pain.”

“You would never know I’ve had it done. No swelling or bruising at all. Photo taken just now in my hotel room in LA after my 2nd FUT procedure!”

“Everybody, from family to my closest friends, said I looked great without hair.”

“But this procedure I’m having is not for anybody else, it is purely and simply because of the way I feel about myself.”

“This is a process that requires patience. You don’t see the yield until 10 months to a year after. So initially, my closest friends were like, ‘Oh my god, what have you done to yourself?’

“And, to a lesser extent, so was I, because you go in with this pre-conceived notion that the hair is going to start growing through fairly rapidly but the reality is quite the opposite.”

“If you are going to do this, you have to be patient. But a year down the track, I can’t tell you how impressed everyone is, including myself, at this procedure.”

What do you guys think of Jason Gardiner’s second hair transplant operation? Let us know in the TV blog comments below.

LG 42PT353K HD 42 Inch Plasma TV

LG describe the television as: “The HD Ready 42PT353K Plasma TV provides superb picture quality with a stunning razor frame design. Convert your living room to a sports stadium or cinema thanks to its crystal clear picture quality. The 42PT353K 42 inch plasma television also offers 600Hz technology and a USB connection for access to your favourite pictures, music and videos .”

Reviews wise the LG 42PT353K HD 42 Inch Plasma TV has very good customer reviews on Amazon with a rating of 5 out of 5 stars and one review saying: “Brilliant stuff from LG here. I love it when you purchase a product and there is absolutely nothing you can complain about. I haven’t exactly ‘tested’ everything such as the HD picture or all the inputs. But the picture quality is so great from standard freeview, I’m sure it’ll be fantastic. For this price I don’t think you can do better than this television. Another thing I really appreciate about this TV is the menu. It’s beautiful to look at with good usability. Other manufacturers can learn from this. I am very glad I bought this and not an LED TV for twice the price.”

The LG 42PT353K HD 42″ plasma television can be purchased for around £350 at all good home entertainment shops!

Apple HD Televisions

If the rumours are true then we’d expect these Apple HD TVs to come with Applt TV built in. Some funky design features and easy usability, but with that premium price point that all Apple products seem to have. Although we doubt it’ll be up there at the super expensive Bang and Olufsen prices.

Anyway I’m sure if they are going to release the 3 Apple HD televisions in 2012 we’ll have some announcements to much needless fanfare later this year.

The X Factor

On the Sun website today she is quoted as saying “I smoked weed when I was a kid and got into fights. We did pinch a couple of handbags. I wasn’t part of a girl gang, though. We were just a group of troublesome chicks. Obviously, we were consuming so much weed and alcohol, we were going loopy anyway.”

Are you looking forwards to listening to her worse than Cheryl Cole accent yet? Totally blooming bonkers!

Half Price Sky TV Deal

The reasons at the time was I just wasn’t watching that much of the Sky broadcasts on my television to justify the cost of the Sky subscription. A hundred billion channels but I was still mostly watching the BBC and Channel 4! Since then Sky have introduced Sky Arts and Sky Atlantic which seem to have programming that better suits my viewing taste. So I have to say the 12 months half price Sky subscription offer is pretty tempting.

You do however have to feel sorry for the loyal Sky customers that wouldn’t be able to take advantage of this Sky deal! It’s a bit crazy that those (like myself) who happily chop and change their television services to get the best price get all the best offers to return to Sky. Yet those that stay loyal and have had ongoing Sky subscriptions for years have to pay the full price.

Save Money On Your Television

1. Cancel your Sky TV or Virgin Media subscription! I know it sounds like the end of the world especially when more of us are spending more time at home in front of the television rather than going out. However cancelling your TV subscription or just reducing to a lower package is the biggest way of cutting your annual television bill. The monthly price of the Sky+ with Variety Pack is £19.50 so cancelling this and changing to Freesat or Freeview would save you £234 a year! Obviously if you have a bigger Sky TV package like the Entertainment Pack or Sky World your savings would be even higher! I put my money where my mouth is and cancelled my Sky Entertainment package so now only have Freesat and I can honestly say apart from the odd TV show here and there I haven’t really noticed the change, but have noticed the extra money in my pocket. Not strictly television related but if you are on a bundle deal just make sure you are also getting the cheapest broadband and phone deal that they offer, my broadband with Sky was £12.50 a month until I phoned up and switched to the new deal which is £10 for exactly the same service saving an extra £30 a year.

2. Stop leaving your television and home entertainment equipment on standby. Ok so we all know this but start doing it and reduce your energy costs for running your television. Don’t just turn your television off at the plug when you have finished watching television but unplug any devices you’re not using whilst watching your TV. Most of us have a host of home entertainment equipment plugged into the same extension lead as our televisions, so if you’re not using the stereo, home cinema surround sound, Xbox, Playstaion or whatever, unplug it.

3. Stop watching television! Ok this sounds a bit odd but stick with me. I previously mentioned in another cheap television blog post about computers, laptops and tablets becoming more popular than televisions. So if you’re using one of these turn your television off. I recently went round a friends and he was sitting looking at Facebook on his laptop with Radio 2 on in the background and for some odd reason his 42 inch plasma TV was on (muted). Lots of people do the same though, like making dinner, having a bath, putting the kids to bed etc, if you’re not watching your television try to turn it off and again save some more cash.

4. Stop buying DVD and BluRay movies. Think do you really need to add another movie to your collection that will sit in your DVD rack gathering dust? Let’s be honest how many of use watch a movie over and over again on our televisions? Ok Die Hard and Apocalypse Now may be a couple of exceptions, but really we normally only watch a DVD movie a couple of times at the most. So be a bit more picky with the movies you do buy or wait until the sales come along (but don’t just buy DVDs in the sale because they are cheap). Also if you’re a LoveFilm member ask yourself if you really use it, cancelling your membership is another easy way to save cash.

Hopefully some of these ideas will help you reduce your TV bill and get a cheaper yet still rewarding television viewing experience, so you can spend your hard earned money on more useful things.
