Pros:

When I first saw this amazing new 3D technology, I must admit to being a bit skeptical when it comes to the knock you in the face effects of being at the cinema in 3D. Surely the lack of FOV field of vision, of the big screen diminishes the 3D illusion? Nope not a bit, it truly is as good as the cinema. Of course maybe outdone by IMAX theatre by sheer size but this 55″ inch set is truly amazing. Best to get the biggest set you can afford as the smaller screens do look a bit like a 3D window you are peering through. So this big screen is worth every cent.

The picture quality is incredible especially with the 3D turned on. This HDTV has 55″ inches of display and the LED intensely clear display makes this one of the best available today. It excels in both 2D and 3D modes as the rich depth of color is not surpassed by any other HDTV on the market. Samsung are true leaders in this technology, taking over from the field leaders Sony and LG to a lesser extent.

Better black contrast due to superior edge-lit technolgoy by Samsung. Excellent gray levels achieved via linear grays. Many controls for the picture quality and settings. Absolute thinnest in the category measuring only one inch thick. The best for streaming content via the widget and applications. The 2D to 3D conversion system is an amazing feat which produces better than expected results.

Match this set with Blu-ray and you have a totally awesome winning combination, set to knock your eyes out (it would seem) with the 3D glasses. Speaking of which, Samsung’s glasses are the best when it comes to comfort, battery life and keeping the light out of the side of the lens, which with some other brands such as Panasonic, create unnecessary glare reflections off the inside of the glass.

Cons:

This set comes at a price that matches the totally immersive experience so you need to have loaded credit card ready to purchase this excellent HDTV. This set may not be as big as some of the plasma sets but what it lacks in size (plasma can go up to 63″ inches) it more than makes up with picture clarity and superior quality to plasma technology.
