If you’re looking for the best 3D LED TV, then you’ll want to get a Samsung TV.
3D is the hot topic among TV manufacturers these days and Samsung is leading the way at the moment (with Panasonic close on their heels).
Their new UN55C8000 is considered the best 3D TV available and more than a few reviewers have called it the best HDTV on the market right now.
With its 240hz refresh rate, 1080p resolution, 3D capabilities, and ability to stream movies from Netflix, Amazon, and Blockbuster, it’s at the head of the class.
Here’s a video I did on its predecessor the Samsung UN55B8000 (which was also considered best of class and is still a great TV if the ability to watch 3D TV isn’t important to you)
If you’re looking for something a little cheaper than the $2600 C8000 but still want the 55 inch display, go with the Vizio XVT553SV – it’s $700 cheaper and the only major difference is the Vizio model doesn’t do 3D.
Of course, you don’t have to take my word for it – here are a few user reviews to check out:
This TV is excellent. It has a great clear picture. I was supprised about some of the features that it has that I didn’t even know about. I found that I could hook it up wireless to my home network amd get a lot of internet apps. I also have my Directv dvr receiver connect wireless to my network and can record HD programs and store them and play back whenever I want. And of coarse the 3d, it is amazing.
I got this TV with the Amazon Package of TV, Blue Ray, and 3D Starter kit. Good value for the dollars. The shipper brought the set into the house, unboxed it, and put it on the entertainment center. They also hooked up the cable and power.
When we first turned it on we were blown away by the clarity of the picture. The picture looked like it was almost 3D even with regular non-blue ray DVD’s. But after a day we realized what we were seeing was the actors against the green screen background which was annoying. The contrast comes set at 100. We adjusted that down to get the picture the way we like.
The 3D movie that comes with the package was fun to watch. We did get a bit of a headache after watching it. I wouldn’t buy the set just for the 3D, there aren’t enough 3D movies out yet. The set by itself is a good enough reason.
We get our netflix streaming through our Blue ray player or our Wii, so don’t notice the lack of Wi-Fi on the set.
am a fairly hard reviewer of products as it takes a lot to impress me. This television certain has done it. From the time I unboxed the set I was impressed. The TV looks just beautiful before you even turn it on. When you do turn it on, you find that it’s beauty is more than skin deep.
I am replacing a 2 year old Sony 52″ LCD XBR with this model and I didn’t think it I would see that much of a better picture but it really is a lot better. I think Samsung really has it all over Sony at this point.
The feature on the TV are very impressive. From the Samsung App store to the Ethernet connection, it is the whole package. To my surprise, there is also a free iPhone/iPod Touch app that allows you to control the TV via WIFI once you have the TV hooked up to your home network. This is fantastic feature to control Netflix, or even check Facebook right on the TV.
If I had to criticize the TV, it would be the sound. I would give it a 3/5 as it is just “okay”. Nothing to write home about. Another annoyance is the free media software that allows you to transfer music and video right from your PC is only available in Windows, not Mac. That is a bit if a disappointment. All in all, this is a very impressive TV that is sure to please any buyer.
