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.

From Samsung’s official statement:

“If you experience any of the following symptoms, immediately stop watching 3D pictures and consult a medical specialist: (1) altered vision; (2) lightheadedness; (3) dizziness; (4) involuntary movements such as eye or muscle twitching; (5) confusion; (6) nausea; (7) loss of awareness; (8) convulsions; (9) cramps; and/or (10) disorientation. Parents should monitor and ask their children about the above symptoms as children and teenagers may be more likely to experience these symptoms than adults.”

Among the most high risk groups that Samsung points out are: pregnant women, young children, teens, the elderly, people prone to seizures or stroke, people prone to dizziness or motion sickness, people with eye problems, people who are out of shape, and people who have been drinking.

So….who does that leave exactly? And what will the fallout be for the potential 3D gaming industry?

“Recently, 3D displays have captured the industry spotlight,” said Wonkie Chang, president of the LCD Business at Samsung Electronics. “Samsung Electronics aims to lead the global 3D TV panel market in pioneering panel mass production for 3D LED and LCD TVs.”

The sets will come in models of 40-inch, 46-inch and 55-inch and will produce full HD.
