It's been a while...

I haven't entered into the blogosphere for some time now, but then there hasn't been much to talk about really.

However, I did end up buying a new TV (a 3D model in fact!).
Further to a previous posting about 3D at home (see here) I've realised that 3D in the home just isn't that great and people shouldn't bother with it (just yet).

The other TV functions however, are brilliant. Being able to watch HD broadcasts for free, playing back movies from USB drives, recording broadcasts to a USB drive, Lovefilm/iPlayer etc. integration - all fantastic (albeit geeky) stuff.
The best bit (for me) is seeing stuff in glorious Full HD (1080p baby). Having lived with my nearly 6 years old 32" Panasonic TV which only did 720p, for a long time, now having a 40" LED Full HD TV is 'awesome' (to coin a US friend's oft used catchphrase).

Yesterday I stuck the BBC's "Blue Planet" into the PS3 and watched some of the "Oceans" section and am blown away by it. Anyone who hasn't seen it shown on a big screen in its full and beautiful quality should really watch it. Like now.
