Samsung's new products:
27 LED TVs (of which 8 are 3D),
26 LCD TVs (including a 3D model),
8 plasma TVs (with six 3D models),
5 Blu-ray players, with a 3D BD player to boot.
Available in April, Samsung's flagship 9000-series 3D HDTV will ship in two sizes—the 46-inch UN46C9000 will retail for a jaw-dropping $5,999.99,
while the 55-inch UN55C9000 will be priced even higher, at $1,000 more. These 240-Hz sets include native 3D support; though even with the sky-high pricing, 3D glasses will be sold separately.
A 3-inch touch screen remote is also included in the box.
Luckily. Samsung's least expensive 3D-ready HDTV, the 46-inch LN46C750, offers standard CCFL backlighting, and will be available in May for $1,699.99.
Next in line, the 50-inch PN50C7000 plasma will be available for $1,799.99 beginning in May.
Two other models in that series, the 58-inch PN58C7000 and 63-inch PN63C7000 will also be available in May, priced at $2,699.99 and $3,499.99, respectively.
Also shipping in May, the 8000-series plasma models will be available in identical sizes for $300 more each—these models add an attractive brushed metal gray cabinet, and also include a matching remote control.
Most models in Samsung's 3D-enabled lineup include LED-backlighting; expect to pay much more for this feature, however.
Measuring just one inch thick, the 46-inch UN46C7000 and 55-inch UN55C7000 will be the first 3D-enabled models to hit stores, later this month for $2,599.99 and $3,299.99, respectively.
A 40-inch model, the UN40C7000, will be priced at $1,999.99, and will ship in May.
With superior picture quality, the 0.9-inch thick 8000-series offers Samsung's pin-point LED dimming technology, resulting in improved black levels without losing shadow detail in darker scenes. Two 46- and 55-inch models, the UN46C8000 and UN55C8000, will be priced $200 higher than the identically sized 7000-series models (which lack the dimming feature), and will be available in April. A 65-inch model, the UN65C8000, will retail for $4,999.99 beginning in July.
Though Samsung's first 3D-enabled Blu-ray player will ship this month, 3D Blu-ray movies likely won't be available until later this year. If you're looking to get a head start, you'll be able to take the BD-C6900 home later this month for $399.99.
However, Samsung claims that its 3D LCDs can simulate 3D, and swap between 2D and 3D at the touch of a button. "Even if 3D content is unavailable, the TVs can render 2D content – like broadcast TV, gaming content, and legacy DVDs – into 3D in real time," according to Samsung.
Samsung will also provide a free 3D Starter Kit with the purchase of a Samsung 3D HDTV and either the Samsung BD-C6900 3D Blu-ray Player or the HT-C6930W 3D Home Theater System, the company said. Included in the kit is a 3D version of "Monsters vs. Aliens" and two pairs of Samsung 3D Active Glasses.
