Welcome to the world of 3D TV. After the success of films such as Avatar and Alice in Wonderland (although I preferred the less popular Up 3D), most people have experienced 3D in the cinema but now the Samsung PS50C7000 makes it affordable in the comfort of your own home.
The PS50C7000 is a 50 inch plasma screen with full HD 1080p and a 600Hz refresh rate. This means that the picture is twice the quality of regular HD and this is further enhanced by Samsungs Real Black Filter which creates the ultimate picture contrast.
Samsung have also included Freeview HD (this will become available in most areas in 2011) and Internet@TV which allows you to view your favourite sites such as Twitter, iPlayer and YouTube on your TV. Connect to the internet with an ethernet cable or using a Samsung wireless dongle. You can also connect this TV to your PC, camcorder or camera to show your videos and photos.
These stunning features are available without even talking about the 3D system. This 3D TV comes into it's own when you hook it up to a 3D source such as a 3D blu-ray player or Sky 3D.
The new technology works with LED 3D glasses which synchronise with the TV and block out each eye alternatively at a ridiculously quick rate fooling your brain into seeing in 3D. This system allows a wide viewing angle so you don't need to be sat directly in front of the 3D TV for it work. Glasses are fully adjustable and available in different sizes and colours for kids.
You can currently purchase the Samsung PS50C7000 for about 1,150 which makes it a great choice for your first 3D television. With so many films being released now in 3D and services like Sky Sports showing football in 3D already, there's plenty of options to watch.
However this TV has so many features without the 3D that it makes a great choice if you're looking to upgrade now and you can utilise the 3D aspects at a later date if required.
