Samsung 65" Smart TV 8000 series I think, bought through Currys as it was cheaper and it came with the 5 year guarantee for free.
Magic bit of kit. Kids like the 3D, although I can't see 3D, so it's as good as tits on a bull in that regard. Allows streaming, Skype (although it's a bit scary having people come through full screen on it) and internet browsing plus applications.
If I didn't have to work, I'd watch it all day long. Well, if I was allowed to.

42" LED 3D Smart TV.
3D (passive) a bit pointless - I have bought a couple of 3D blu-rays (that come with 2D also) but not watched them yet. At first it was a novelty being able to turn any TV show, orRedYoutube video into 3D, but don't bother much anymore.
Smart TV very useful - use it for Netflix, Youtube, iPlayer, etc. There's a subscription / pay per view movie app also (Wuaki I think) that is OK but not great (no HD / 5.1). I don't want to faff about with separate devices for this - much prefer it all built in.

Sony and Samsung seem to be the market leaders at the moment. 3d is OK, a bit of a gimmick but they all have it these days. If you sit closer than about 8 feet from a TV showing a 3D output then the picture goes all funny.
I'm not convinced about the "Smart TV" stuff, I would prefer to buy a PVR, PS4, Xbox or Apple TV box and just have the TV as a monitor. TVs last for years, set top boxes come and go quite often.

Good luck, get yourself a decent telly and have fun. Make sure you go out a few nights a week just to make sure you don't end up as a hermit
