Samsung blu ray 3D LED TV 8 series 2010 model

As of 2 Aug 2010, these two blu-ray 3D movie discs are the only two in the world that a 3D LED TV user can get. In fact the one on the Left is not available for retail, it only comes with the purchase of a 3D Samsung LED TV. The one on the right is the world's first blu-ray 3D disc for retail. People who check illustrated 3D movie list may say this is not true, there are other 3 3D movie discs. However, 1 is using old 3D technology, the other 2 disc are not released yet. At least they will not be available for retail for quick some time.

So which one I like better? The one on the left that comes with a Samsung LED 3D TV, it gives more 3D experience. While the one on the right seems to have more complication in terms of story and modeling. And it is nicely packaged, it costs AUD$39 in JB Hi-Fi in Sydney.



This is Samsung 3D LED TV series 8 46". In Australia it is called UA46C8000. The other model in 8 series is 55" one UA55C8000. It is the same TV with bigger size screen. Technology wise, there is also 9 series with 1 55" model. But the model is not available in the store yet. The Samsung website doesn't even have a RRP for it yet. The 3D blu-ray player is Samsung BDP C6900.

The good thing about 8 series compare to 7 is that it has better black (called accurate dimming), and it doesn't have halo effect in the screen, plus it process better movement. That's good, as I like Black & White movies. I watched 'Roman Holiday' and 'Sunset Boulevard' with up-scaling, at least 'Sunset Boulevard' is surprisingly good in details. I haven't try all my other Black and White movie DVDs.



In Australia, the TV is 5 stars (out of 6) for energy efficiency. Well, not surprised, cos it is a LED.



Beautiful TV stand and metal frame. (especially compare to the new 9 series.)







The TV itself comes with a free 3D starter kit, which includes the 3D blu-ray movie disc and not 1 but 2 battery powered 3D glasses. However, I still ordered a USB chargable glasses shown above. It is said that this glasses is better, although not clear how? I haven't compare the two yet. The batteries glasses has been put away for guest use.





"Kung Fu Panda" a must have, amazing in blu-ray; "Into the blue", not worth it, It was on sale. I bought it because I have a DVD version. So just want to compare the blu-ray version and the DVD up-scaling (up-converting) playback. The difference is smaller than I expected. I don't know, but I am suspecting this blu-ray version didn't do a good job. Especially if you compare it to 'Kung Fu Panda'. And the strange thing is the blu-ray version is not as good as the DVD version in color.





I doubt they will, but if they release 'Kung Fu Panda' in 3D, I will buy it.
