Serving up 3D in the home

We peer into the third dimension with the Samsung UA55C8000 TV and like what we see.

IT IS funny that TVs are actually getting thinner these days as 3D technology is becoming more common - what we get here is a situation where the TV itself is gradually becoming closer to a 2D piece of paper while the display is gaining more depth :-)
Anyway, lame jokes aside, regular readers of In.Tech will probably already about know my fanatical interest in all things 3D and when the Samsung UA55C8000 came in complete with 3D glassless. 

Despite its size, the UA55C8000 is a very slim TV and while you probably can't easily put it together by yourself (it's a simple two-man job), its a far cry from the days of CRT when even a 30in TV would require at least four people to carry. The TV itself is finished in a very nice brushed stainless steel bezel with an outer rim of clear plastic around the steel bezel.

Beyond that, the TV comes with a plethora of functions and even the MotionPlus video settings can be customised to your liking - either for smoothing out fast motion or reducing image blur.
Colours are very good on the TV although during some dark scenes I could clearly see some bright hotspots because of the LED sidelighting. The hotspots aren't really noticeable in general video viewing unless you look at a primarily black scene, and even then only if your room is darkened.
