Having made the decision to "go 3D" I was beside myself with excitement when my new UN55C8000 duly arrived.
The new samsung "C" range, promising full real life 3D and more connectivity than you could shake a stick at. This TV has it all, well according to the sales puff it does. And, as it was eased out of the box, it looked oh so beautiful.
My wife and kids just stood in awe of this work of art. "Put it on Dad" cried an excited Jayne, "Yes, now, now, now" added Jordie.
"O.K, O.K, I'll need some time"...I just wasn't sure how much even as I looked at the stunning jack pack (4 HDMI, Anynet+, 2 x USB, PC Input, Ethernet, Optical Sound and Component Video)!
So, if you're gonna get one of these babys be pepared (and pepare your family) for an extended set up time, especially if you've not connected up HD TV and suround sound before!
Being a structured sort, I sat down and read the manual, and I have to say I'm glad I did.
With the amazing plethora of connectivity, including wireless connectivity to add to the surrond and Blu-Ray, it was quite a job. Plus there are a stack of "widgets" you can untlise as well, such as YouTube, Flickr and Yahoo. But the manual was reasonably good - but I am technical, so maybe that helped.
One of the things that did take time was configuring the TV to make old 2D images 3D. Now I am glad that I did this first, before we all watched true native 3D. The 2D converted pictures are not wonderful. There was quite a bit of blurring or double imaging...I think the technical term is "crosstalk".
