Samsung Delivers 65-Inch 3D LED HDTV

Samsung, like many other suppliers of monitors and TVs, is mindful of the 3D craze and has now brought out its latest such solution, whose screen size of 65 inches and price tag of several thousand dollars easily make it one of, if not the biggest and most expensive 3D HDTV in existence.

As end-users know, a 3D image is made possible by having a display create two distinct sets of images, which are then synchronized by means of 3D glasses.

To achieve this feat, a monitor needs a refresh rate of at least 120 Hz, but the company went ahead and gave its UN65C8000 a panel with a full 240 Hz.

The device also comes with all the other features and specifications that Samsung's 8000 Series models are known for.

For one, the 65-inch TV utilizes LED backlighting and has a built-in 3D processor, which fully supports 3D HD playback all on its own.

Secondly, the display actually comes with its own integrated WiFi capabilities and a set of software tools, available though SamsungApps, that can put that connectivity to good use, such as Skype.

What's more, the TV has HDMI, USB and Ethernet connectors, so as to allow it to act as a, more or less, all-in-one solution for multimedia playback and web-specific activities.

That said, as a testimony to the sharpness of images that Samsung always seems to gravitate towards, the panel has a DCR (dynamic contrast ratio) of 8,000,000:1.

Mostly, this beast is meant as a means by which wealthy end-users can cover the walls of their large villas, or the large living rooms of regular households, though the owners of the latter will hardly be in a position to buy the product.

Finally, the price of the 3D LED-backlit HDTV also makes it completely unaccessible to the common folk, since $6,000 is hardly a poultry sum.
