The phenomenon of 3D is not just limited to the cinema; with the right kit and a bit of know-how you’ll be able to enjoy live football and movies in stunning high-definition 3D in the comfort of your own home.
First you’re going to need to get set up, and Samsung provide the complete 3D solution!
Let’s start with the main attraction: the TV. Pair the Samsung C8000 with 3D source, like the Samsung BD-C6900, and you will feel part of the action as the incredible visual depth provides you with the ultimate immersive viewing experience.
The C8000 also happens to be a stunning 2D HDTV as well, with Freeview HD built-in, Internet@TV, as well as Wi-Fi connectivity and 4HDMI ports, all in a slim 3cm-thick package.
With your TV ready to deliver, you’re going to need some 3D glasses. But forget trying to find that old cardboard pair with the red and green lenses; Samsung’s new 3D technology is so much more sophisticated than that!
Instead of traditional passive 3D, Samsung use the more technically-advanced active 3D, which means you’ll need powered LCD shutter glasses. Not only will they give you fantastic colour realisation, but they will also eliminate flicker and blur.
A stylish range of Samsung 3D glasses are available, in either battery-powered or rechargeable designs.
Until TV services like Sky in the UK roll-out their 3D sport and entertainment offerings later in 2010, to make the most of your 3D TV you’ll need to connect to a 3D Blu-ray player, like the stunning Samsung BD-C6900.
In an ideal world you should connect your 3D-ready TV to your 3D Blu-ray player via a HDMI 1.4 cable, but a decent quality HDMI 1.3 cable will do the job.
With your new 3D TV and Blu-ray player, and stylish glasses, you will be ready to experience this thrilling entertainment revolution in your own front room.
