It's backlit using lateral LEDs and comes with three different sizes: 40'', 42'' and 55''. To enjoy seeing in three dimensions, every viewer will need a pair of 3D glasses compatible with Samsung televisions. As with the , no glasses are included in the price of the C8000. That means you'll have to spend a little bit more to get 3D, but fortunately, Samsung's are some of the cheapest out there. Originally priced at £150 a pair, the price has already fallen by more than half, and you can now get the cheapest model for around £50. We don't particularly like these ones, though, as they tend to grip the side of your head too tightly. These glasses include rechargeable batteries. Other models can be recharged using the USB port on the TV or your computer, but they're a little more expensive (£100). They're also more comfortable, and the inside of the arms has a thin layer of rubber to keep our pretty little heads nice and snug. There aren't an awful lot of sources of 3D content available right now, so in the meantime, some manufacturers, including Samsung, have been working on automatic 2D to 3D conversion systems that allow you enjoy ordinary TV, DVDs and standard Blu-ray discs in three dimensions.
Samsung got the UK's 3D ball rolling in solid fashion with its UE40C7000 a couple of months ago. But we're hoping that its more glamorous and larger sibling, the UE46C8000 will launch the brand into the same kind of stratosphere occupied by Panasonic's 3D debutante, the Panasonic TX-P50VT20. FeaturesThe UE46C8000's compatibility with all the key new 3D formats is obviously its dominant feature, but it also boasts a so-called 3D HyperReal Engine that's claimed to deliver significant performance benefits over other brands. Some aspects of this engine are too complicated to fully explore here, but for starters, Samsung has added a scanning backlight to its existing 200Hz engine – delivering an effect that some rival brands would most likely call 400Hz. This should enable it to reproduce motion with greater clarity. Also key is a dual black insertion system, where frames are inserted between the alternating left and right 3D frames to reduce the ghosting phenomenon that's commonly known as crosstalk. Samsung has developed a special high-speed pixel-driving circuit for the 46C8000, too, along with an ultra-fast 1.05Gbps high speed interface, to reduce LCD's usual, response time issues.
