Unreal : Samsung’s leviathan 65in C8000 gives big screen 3D thrills

If you want to do 3D justice, you should have a big screen; and they don’t come much bigger than Samsung’s 65in C8000 3D enabled LED TV.  Most industry insiders have been surprised by the effectiveness of 3D TV, with early reviews suggesting that home 3D is a truly involving and innovative development.

While 3D in the home can’t compare to its cinematic equivalent, commentators are pointing to large screen 50in + 3D TVs (the larger the better) as the way to really appreciate the new technology. With a host of top end features, the C8000 is certainly not relying on 3D capability to sell. Amongst other things, you get LED backlighting, and integrated Freeview HD tuner and 200Hz processing.

Likely to become a standard feature on your TV, the C8000 also features Wi-Fi internet connectivity. Most consumers will enjoy the convenience of streaming video from the likes of the BBC iPlayer, YouTube and film rental company, LoveFilm. With Samsung’s 3D enabled TVs, you don’t even have to worry about getting hold of 3D content as they can convert 2D material into pseudo 3D. An integrated 2D to 3D slider ranging from one to ten will give viewers the option of adjusting the intensity of the 3D effect. Early indications are that the pseudo conversion however is a little hit and miss; the more effective experience being realized by the full blown 3D processor.
