Samsung 3D TV CES 2011

Phil Conner, senior editor

Samsung did not have much in terms of 3D TV display. They did a nice job of highlighting the new very light active shutter glasses they are now producing. The glasses come in different colors with a very thin arms as opposed to the thicker heavier glasses of the past. They also have prescription 3D glasses for those interested.

The 3D Viewing was set up in one area with only the D8000 and 75D9500 series LED TVs. Glasses were not stationary so at least you know that this is exactly what the TV will look like in 3D. I wasn't overly impressed. Some of the underwater scenery in display had good depth but when a bright underwater flashlight quickly came into view or shined across the landscape it was so distracting I could barely keep watching.

There was a 2D to 3D conversion demo to show off that feature and as with all manufacturers 2D to 3D content, it was uninspiring.
