3D TV Reviews

Below you will find our recent 3D TV reviews. Each 3D TV was reviewed by one of our professional reviewers, Robert Wiley, Jack Burden and Phil Conner. These reviewers have more than 10 years experience each in reviewing TVs. Robert Wiley is one of the most respected television reviewers in the industry. Each 3D TV is calibrated to D6500K by one of our professionals prior to review so that we are always comparing apples to apples. We also are the only reviews that test post calibration ANSI contrast and post the results. By going to each individual review you will find our ratings for Picture, Features, and Value and the Overall rating for each. Thank you for visiting 3D TV Buying Guide. For older model reviews, see the Archive page.

Sharp Aquos LE835 Series  

The LC-40LE835 will offer a value-oriented approach to 3D TV viewing while foregoing the highest end features such as full array true backlit local dimming.

Toshiba 55TL515U 3D TV Review

Jack Burden reviews this new 55 inch, Passive 3D LED TV. "One of the big surprises from this TV was the quality of 3D viewing. I expected much less depth from the passive 3D glasses than we've been seeing with the active-shutter 3D glasses, but that was not the case. With active 3D we have seen more depth in the background of the picture, but with this passive 3D TV, we see images popping out of the screen towards us more." Read More...

Samsung PN51D7000 3D TV Review

All the models in the line have a 1" larger screen made by shrinking the surrounding bezel so the TV remains the same size.

LG 55LW6500 3D TV Review

The LW6500 series are LED backlit LCD screens. The panel is made using LG's FPR (Film-type Patterned Retarder) panel that is said to better focus the separate images being fed to the left and right eye. Passive 3D technology means the LW6500's uses polarized 3D glasses rather than the active shutter glasses used most 2010 3D TVs. These passive glasses require no batteries, weigh less and are far less expensive compared to their active counterparts. Read More...

Samsung UN55C7000 3D TV Review

Even though it's measured contrast would seem to indicate otherwise the black levels in the C7000 are strong, sometimes even overpowering. Combine that with the rich color information and you get a very vivid picture in this 3D television. Read More...
