Samsung Unveils Ultra-Definition 3D TV

Samsung has unveiled its latest prototype television technology, a 70inch screen which offers full 3D ‘ultra-definition’ video.

The prototype TV blows away traditional high-definition displays by increasing the resolution from 1,920×1,080 to a massive 3,840×2,160.

The Ultra-Definition display offers a picture around four times more detailed than a regular HD unit, but has one particular drawback: at the moment, there are very few video sources that can take advantage of the extra resolution, with Blu-ray maxing out at regular High-Definition resolutions.

As well as the additional resolution, Samsung has also equipped the display with a 240Hz refresh rate – around double that of most 3DTVs on the market today. When used with the included shutter glasses, it results in a 3D image that is completely free from the sensation of ‘flicker’ that can plague sets with lower refresh rates.

Samsung Presents “Worlds Thinnest” 3DTV

Electronics giant Samsung has just announced the launch of their 55-inch full HD LED TV in a press conference in Korea. The 3DTV is found under its 9000 series and Samsung claims it is world’s thinnest TV with width of just 7.98mm.

According to the press release by Samsung, the new 3DTV will be housed in body made of stainless steel. Prior to this, Samsung sold around 2.5 million units of LED TVs in the previous year. The statistics were far beyond what the company had made earlier. For this product, Samsung has gone all out in developing strong marketing partnerships with other firms, to gain popularity in the 3DTV market.

Samsung 3D LED TV Active Shutter Glasses

Amazon and a couple other retailers are selling Samsung 55-inch 3D LED HDTV television sets with a price tag of around $3,000. Naturally, the sets don’t come with 3D glasses, you’ll need to buy those separately in order to view the 3D content on the Samsung screen.

Samsung’s 3D active glasses (model SSG-2100AB) will cost $150 each. Not cheap, especially since you’ll likely need more than one pair.

The liquid crystal lenses in these Active Shutter glasses change from dark to light several hundreds of times per second while communicating wirelessly with the television set. The glasses will also be able to communicate with Samsung-branded Blu-ray players and a Home Theater in Box.
