John Lewis Sells the First 3D TV
- Always first with the latest technology, department store John Lewis sold the first 3D TV in the UK
LONDON, May 20 -- The first happy customer was 28-year-old Matt Rajah, a business consultant from Bethnal Green, who was waiting outside the doors of John Lewis' flagship store on Oxford Street, "I have been waiting for this for a long time, there's lots of exciting 3D content on the way, and it's set to be the TV of the future. It's more money than a normal telly, but I love to buy the latest gadgets and be ahead of my friends."
John Lewis was first to market with this much-anticipated 3D television revolution. The new Samsung UE40C7000 3D TV, GBP1,799 will allow customers to experience 3D TV from the comfort of their own homes.
The first 40-inch TV is available from John Lewis' flagship store on Oxford Street, the largest electrical department in Europe, as well as Peter Jones and online - http://www.johnlewis.com/. The John Lewis Brent Cross, Bluewater, Kingston and Cribbs Causeway stores will also have the 3D TVs on display.
John Kempner, buyer for vision at John Lewis says, "3DTV is an incredibly exciting technology, and once again John Lewis is first to market. Manufacturers like to use us as their launch partner because our customers are always early adopters of new technology. We have put together a great value package with everything needed to enjoy 3DTV. It is worth remembering that even though 3DTV content is limited at the moment, this new breed of TV provides fantastic picture quality for regular 2D viewing, so a 3DTV is a great investment purchase."

-- Samsung UE40C7000 3D TV, GBP1,799
