Samsung Announces Pricing and Availability of its First Full HD 3D LED TVs, BD Players, Plasma and LCD TVs Samsung today officially announced the world's first-available Full HD 3D LED TV and full lineup of 3D home entertainment products to consumers worldwide.

Samsung also announced today the expansion of its strategic alliance with DreamWorks Animation SKG, Inc. to feature an exclusive offering of the Company's Shrek film in its entirety in 3D for the first time ever.

To make 3D TV more accessible for consumers globally, Samsung unveiled a promotional program where everyone who purchases a 2010 Samsung 3D TV and 3D Blu-ray Player or Home Theater System will receive a 3D starter kit that includes two pairs of Samsung 3D active glasses and a first time, feature-length 3D Blu-ray version of DreamWorks Animation?s 2009 release, Monsters vs. Aliens (exclusive to Samsung products). Additionally, during the second half of 2010, DreamWorks Animation?s Shrek film series will be available in 3D Blu-ray for Samsung home solutions.

The news was delivered at Samsung's Full HD 3D LED TV global launch press conference held in New York City today.



Samsung will launch the broadest line of 3D home entertainment products in 2010. Its 3D TV lineup includes the LED 7000/8000/9000 Series, LCD 750 Series, and the Plasma 7000/8000 Series. Available this month are the 3D capable 46" and 55" LED C7000, with the remaining 3D TVs rolling out over the next several months.

Samsung's 2010 LED HDTVs

This year?s premium LED TV models, the C7000, C8000 and C9000, feature Samsung's Real240Hz refresh rate technology and Samsung's proprietary built-in 3D processor that is compatible with major 3D format standards. When not in the 3D mode, you?re back to watching one of the best performing HDTVs on the market with the push of a button.

Combined with the company's 3D Blu-ray player or home theater system (BD-C6900 and HT-C6930W), and unique Samsung-designed 3D Active Glasses, Samsung offers a total 3D solution for home entertainment. To further kick-start the 3D experience, consumers, for a limited time, will receive 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. Included in the kit is a 3D version of ?Monsters vs. Aliens? and two pairs of Samsung 3D Active Glasses.

Samsung's LED C8000 and C6800 include Samsung's Precision Dimming technology that merges the advantages of LED edge-lighting with the control of local dimming technology in directly back-lit LED televisions. Precision Dimming uses an array of special LEDs that create diamond-shaped areas of light to illuminate objects on the panel. These areas can vary in size and shape according to the light required, and an algorithm calculates where the light should be targeted to intensify contrast

The LED 6500, 6800, 7000, 8000 and 9000 come with Internet@TV connectivity which includes Samsung Apps, allowing users, with internet access or a wireless network with our Link Stick (or similar), to download and view applications on their TV screens. Samsung Apps provides consumers content and applications from services like The Associated Press, Netflix, Pandora, Twitter, USA TODAY, and VUDU. More than 20 apps should launch by the end of March, with more to come.

Also included is Allshare for wireless connectivity and multimedia sharing across DLNA Certified devices, allowing consumers to wirelessly transfer photos, movies and music from PCs, mobile phones and digital cameras to their TV for big screen viewing at home with friends and family.

The LED TVs are very slim, with the 7000 Series measuring one-inch, and LED C8000 measuring 0.9 inches and the LED C9000 measuring a pencil thin 0.3 inches. For select models, Samsung also developed a groundbreaking four-legged quad stand that makes the TV look more like furniture and a new ?mystic earth? Touch of Color (ToC).

The C9000 Series come equipped with a premium 3-inch color touch-screen remote control - which features a live feed of the channel you?re currently watching. For the C9000 only, the easy to use, full touch-screen remote control comes complete with an earphone jack and Twin View, which lets you watch TV or Blu-ray DVD titles on the remote or TV at the same time. The remote includes Allshare and a QWERTY keyboard for the LED C7000, C8000 and C9000, and at 2.4 Ghz, its integrated Wi-Fi and infrared technology controls the TV, STB and AV devices with on-screen buttons. The touch screen remote is available as an accessory for the LED C7000 and C8000, as well as select LCD and Plasma Series.
