Look, we know this 3D thing is
as likely to sink as it is to swim right now, but we have to hand it to Samsung -- it's pursuing the idea with some pretty hefty ambition. A 55-inch 1080p panel with a true
240Hz refresh rate is a decent base on which to build your paradigm-shifting new offering. Using a set of "shutter" glasses, which rapidly alternate between blocking out the left and right eye, the set is capable of delivering the full 240Hz quality,
debatable as its benefits may be. Of course, the value or otherwise of a TV like this is going to be found only by experiencing its output in person, so if you're somewhere near Seoul this week, head on down to the IMID 2009 conference to get an eyeful of an early model.

Nice legs.
they did say hefty (ambition) (questionable) benefits....
I'd like to show her my 240hz L d_c in 3D.
I'd hit it, but only if she keeps the glasses on.
@vanilla sperm
you are doing it wrong
ugh, look at the 3rd picture on the link to samsung's site. what happened?
Can i have her instead?
That'd be much more expensive in the long run, trust me...
They're all trying to "re-invent" the cinemas, tvs, so that people are interested in seeing their shitty programs in 3D. Or at least until the 3Dness fades away.
It's ridiculous.
And this is coming form a guy that works in the 3D anim. field, so I should be happy about new ventures and possibilities for my business, but... no...
I work in the industry as well and hope they'll make the film we are working on in 3D but only if they are going to use it in the right way, meaning as a story telling device and as enhancement to the experience and realization of the film.
I think 3D is the next step, just like color before it and sound before it.
I understand people just don't like the glasses thing, but I think there already is a technology that works without glasses and they'll probably be able soon enough to make it a standard.
Well, if you can make a TRUE 3D experience (not just a projection) that won't require 3D glasses (I've seen some of those early models/attempts at this year's Siggraph), then by all means, that might actually be interesting. But, other than that, it's just a pain.
Also, a single, well defined, standard wouldn't hurt either.
Yeah! And color is a gimmick, right? HD too! ;)
The problem is:
1) You can display a flat image on a flat surface
2) You can display color on a flat surface
3) You can display HD resolution (or anything higher) on a flat surface
4) CAN YOU display true 3D image on a flat surface? I don't know and I doubt it, but I might be wrong of course :)
Dream came true! Nice legs and 3D glasses, what else would I need!
3d porn, a nice new expensive bed, and silk sheets where she will lie.
the set looks great, along with the girl, but i think this 3d business is pretty lame, i cant see this going any further.
this is just a beginning- we all gona be walking in 3D soon.
its gonna take another half a century for that to happen, not soon enough kiddo.
nice and solid body! drool-worthy!
does this mean it will work with Nvida's 3D kit?
This is the industry saying "That HDTV you just bought? USELESS! This is the future right here! So will that be cash, credit or debit?"
I think 3D is a gimmick. I'm not dropping money on an unsupported, and unperfected technology when HDTV is more than adequate for me. Call me when you have holograms in my living room.
I agree, except I'll holdout until we have tactile holograms. :o
I suffered a bit of buyer's remorse after vacuuming my bank account to bring home the last 60" Kouro on offer when Pioneer decided to stop making plasmas; however now, every time I see how wildly expensive new LCDs miserably fail even to approch the quality of my baby, I get more and more happy that I followed my splurging instinct.
Just few weeks ago I have been offered the same price I payied for it over one year ago (which I of course refused) .
How many owners of LCDs can say the same thing ? (without lieing I mean)
I wonder how many years it will take for new screens to reach the same level of technology reached by Pioneer 3 years ago.
Forget 3D... Samsung should just export their models, then they'll rule the world.
they should import that model for me asap and the tv would be a nice bonus.
I spent my time looking at the legs, arms, lips, hair, and chest instead of actually reading the post and the actual tv in the post.
So it is indeed true, sex sells with anything...
Take that back, Sex sells almost anything, if not everything. Can I hear someone 2nd, 3rd. 4th, 5th, ....... that?
It seems like only the Koreans do that. The Americans have middle aged men who apparently have a mid-life crisis selling their products, same goes for the Japanese.
that picture got me excited... not about tv's though....
Was no one else thinking, I hope you're gonna clean your sticky finger prints off that lovely TV?
I could not find an LCD on that picture?
I'd like to show her 3 inches of glory.
That all?
Up-ranked you for that since you made me laugh so hard this morning. XD
ill rank you up for being honest, anyone else?
Plasma! Lets hope it does not fade out in the market. Lcd's noise is still a major problem. Perhaps oled will reign supreme, eventually.
I think FleshLight Asian action in 3D is SOOOO coming with the LCD. Who needs a woman when you have that?!
I can't wait for the higgs boson to go back in time and position her knees slightly akimbo.
I guess I'm late for my joke about showing her a few inches myself?
Damn!
okay but in all seriousness, girl points at fish, says "fish!"
I thought it was something like:
Standard 60 Hz display: good.
120 Hz display: better and more fluid.
120 Hz 3D: 60 Hz in 3D.
240 Hz 3D: The fluidity of 120 Hz in 3D.
Am I wrong?
Yep.
Every 120hz television I've seen looks like crap. I can't stand the trumotion and smoothmotion engines they use.
All I care about is 1080/24p televisions. My LCD can output in 1080/24p mode and I believe it looks superior to any 120hz or 60hz displays.
Movies only have 24 frames of data. Interpolating images and frames to up-sample to more Hz just makes the image look unnatural and bad. You aren't gaining any more quality.
You're right, I believe.
As for SirMasterBoy's comments, that's just preference. Personally, I love the added frames.
As for SirMasterBoy's comments, true 24p playback requires a 120hz display, (which he must have since he claims to have 24p) otherwise you run into the dreaded 3:2 pulldown effect.
Actually, SirMasterboy, if this set is really a True 240hz picture and not a 60hz screen that cheats its way to 120/240hz with motion processing tricks then there shouldn't be a problem with movies looking like soap operas because no extra frames have to be inserted into the picture. One would also get the benefits of less motion blur/smearing and less input lag.
someone asked:
4) CAN YOU display true 3D image on a flat surface? I don't know and I doubt it, but I might be wrong of course :)
YES YOU CAN! Glasses still required though. Nvidia has made this tech available for years. Nothing new - still awesome.
Those are stupid glasses, I hope that those aren't final yet.
nice girl
