The Samsung UN55C8000 is a 55-inch 3D television on an Plama display with LED backlighting. The reality is, a whole one-third of Samsung’s LED TVs for 2010 are 3D, so it’s clear that Samsung (along with most of the manufacturers) think you should own one.
The samsung UN55C8000 likewise comprises some intriguing processing technological innovation that allows for realtime 2D to 3D upconversion. As this technology is so new, you have a right to be skeptical: we certainly are.
Our first question to Samsung was about the real difference between upcoverted 3D and native 3D, which was recently consistent for Blu-Ray discs.We had arrived only capable of getting a vague answer, so we’re awaiting actually getting a production sample into our labs for scientific testing.
We did study, however, that upconverted 2D-to-3D video can only create a foreground/environment difference. Native 3D content offers more “side-to-side and front-to-back” depth, which is more immersive. At this point, you’re probably asking yourself, “What does that mean?” We’re wondering the same thing; we couldn’t get a direct side-by-side comparison. The thing is, so much of this technology is new that we’re still inventing the terminology to describe it. All we can say is that there is a difference: the native 3D content looks better. About Formats & Resolution The Samsung UN55C8000 displays at 1080p, with a 1920 x 1080 resolution.
In Color Samsung 55c8000 didn’t seem to interested in talking about plebeian, 2D performance like color. It was especially difficult to discern anything with our own eyes because the Samsung UN55C8000 was only displaying 3D content.
The New samsung UN55C8000 has a 240Hz refresh rate, as do all the Samsung 3D TVs for 2010. Motion performance could not be determined because they were only showing 3d content on the models that could display it.
In conclusion is The Samsung UN55C8000 appears a vibrant TV, we just wish that some of the amazing features promised were actually viewable at CES. The 2D to 3D conversion was on the show floor, and that did look good. But the upgraded streaming content, Samsung App Store, and amazing touch screen remote device (available as a separate purchase) were nowhere to be seen. Apparently, they have a lot of good ideas, but none of them were quite ready for CES.
Of course, the big buzz this year is 3D Television, and a full one-third of Samsung’s LED TVs are 3D for 2010. But do you really need or want 3D? That’s the issue that everyone is muttering to one another as they walk out from the Samsung, Sony, and Panasonic booths. In the press packets and PR photos, the designers try hard to cause you to forget that you need giant, gawky glasses to actually see the 3D. Don’t forget: you will be required to look like a goober in your living room—that’s the true price of 3D. Samsung has yet to release a comprehensive list of sizes in the 8000 series, as well as costs, release dates, and specs.
