Samsung Ships Largest 3DTV, Portable 3D Blu-ray
Samsung shipped the world's first 3D-capable portable Blu-ray player and 65-inch 3D LED TV.
Wednesday Samsung Electronics America unleashed the "world's first" portable Blu-ray player with 3D capability: the Samsung BD-C8000. Although the device features a 10.1-inch screen, 3D playback is only possible by piping in the content to a 3D-capable TV and viewing the media with nerdy 3D glasses. Still, Blu-ray movies on-the-go--even without 3D functionality--is a great way to keep rambunctious kids at bay on long trips (for an hour or so at least).
According to the company, the BD-C8000 includes built-in Wi-Fi for easy access to advanced connectivity features. These include an "expanding library of content," applications via Samsung Apps and HDMI 1.4a support. Despite announcing the device's availability on Wednesday, Samsung said that the BD-C8000 was available back in July for a hefty $499.99.
In addition to the portable Blu-ray player, Samsung said that also introduced three additional standalone Blu-ray players (BD-C7900, BD-C6800, BD-C5900) and three new Blu-ray Home Theater Systems (HT-C9950W, HT-C6900W, HT-C6600).
However the company also announced that the world's largest Full HD 3D LED TV finally hit the market for an incredible $5,999.99 USD pricetag. Samsung's UN65C8000 provides a 65-inch screen backed by the company's built-in 3D processor. Other highlights include Real 240Hz refresh rate technology, dynamic 8,000,000:1 contrast ratio, and proprietary Precision Dimming technology. The 3D TV is also Wi-Fi ready and supports Skype and Samsung Apps.

3DTVs are worthless until you don't have to wear them glasses
The idea of glasses is a little silly. I can't imagine having a girl over and be required to wear glasses just to watch the movie.
Ah, after a fairly long wait - the 65" is finally out.
So, 1080p on a 10 inch screen ? Yeah, sure.
So i don't quite realize why the world has completely forgot that DLP exists. I have a 68" 3D TV and have owned it for over a year now. I have the Nvision setup and it works perfectly on it. 65" is not the largest 3D tv and i hope that those writing this article are ashamed at being in this industry and consider Fast food as a career choise.
Yes, because every time I want to watch a BluRay on the train I want to look like Buddy Holly!
3D technology does not work well with LCD. LCD is slow and need polarizers. It will take more time until we have a good 3D system, if it is possible. Plasma TVs are the best choice by now. Samsung LCD LED TV is not worth the money.
So, 1080p on a 10 inch screen ? Yeah, sure.
where does it say 1080p? I would bet its 720p and that is not a downfall considering the small screen size. Blurays play just fine on a 720p tv so I don't understand the problem here. Just because a blueray is capable of 1080p doesn't mean that it you can only watch them on 1080p devices.
Ok I clicked on the link and your right it does say 1080p, but its not 100% clear if the screen really has a capable resolution or if thats only when using the HDMI output... I am really curious now what the resolution is on this screen.
I can almost feel the heat that TV will put out, ahh makes me warm inside
@myatitus: It's in the title man; "Samsung shipped the world's first ... 65-inch 3D *LED* TV." No one 'forgot' DLP, it wasn't even the topic, and that should've been obvious because it's IN THE TITLE.
PROTIP: Read the title at least before insulting the writer.
OT: Cool stuff

Awesome portable Blu-Ray! Now I don't have to worry when I buy a movie If it's something I want to take on the road with me.
Are they referring maybe the 65 is the worlds first mainstream TV? I mean 2160 is not something most people can take advantage of.

The LG one does not state if it is LED or not
Some may argue that the Samsung one is the largest LED 3D TV

It says in the article it isn't even available, that only the 46" and 55" are, this article is about a TV that is available.
