Samsung – UE40C7000 – 40″ LCD TV… 3DTV is here, but is the hype worth all the excitement?
Well, I’ve only actually seen this bad boy on display, and haven’t had a chance to watch some footage on it – but from what I’ve seen, it’s safe to say that the future of TVs is now here.
The footage I did see on the Samsung – UE40C7000 – 40″ LCD TV was of a waterfall – and let me tell you now… it looked magical.
I’m not normally blown away by TVs and displays like this, but there’s just something about 3DTV that gives it some mythical feature. You feel like you’re being invited into a new world, one where the colours are all so vivid… where you can look but can’t touch (no, really… you can’t touch).
Of course, 3DTV is still in its ‘early release’ stages yet… I mean, just look at what happened to HDTV when it was first released – it was just update after update after update.
My recommendations to you, my fellow tech enthusiasts, would be to wait a while before you buy a 3D TV. Just wait until the initial hype has died down, and the technology has improved a little – and you’ll be sure to pick yourself up and absolute beauty.
One little note on this, though, and that’s to be aware of the difference between 3D-ready and Full 3D. 3D-ready means you can, if you want, watch 3D movies on your TV. Every TV is 3D ready right now – but the newer ones just enhance the picture a bit. Full 3D, as you can guess from the name, means that you get the whole package… and when 3D TV channels are rolled out, you’ll be at the front of the queue watching them (Full 3D TVs are notably more expensive than their 3D-ready counterparts, though).
