We’re here at the Samsung stand and we are surrounded by TVs, but this is the star of the show. It is the 9000 series. It measures only 0.3 inches in thinness and the killer feature is that, its 3D LED so we’re going to have a look at that feature and a few of the others on the Samsung stand, so let’s go and have a look.
This is 3D LED on the 9000 series, which will be available in the UK in 46 inch and 55 inch and I wish we could show you how good an experience this is. In a word, it’s FANTASTIC. But it’s not just a great 3D experience you’re going to get with the 9000 series. With the LED, the picture quality is going to be great in 2D as well.
Also shipping with the 9000 series is this touch remote, which has its own screen on it and the features it has are pretty fantastic. One of which is Twin, you just press that and say you have got something playing on your main unit. You can also watch it on the remote and carry it to other parts of your home.
Another feature is Channels, so you can press the channel button here and you have got your list of channels. Select one and you can press preview and get a preview of what’s on that channel just on the screen on the remote. But you’ve still got your blu-ray dvd playing on the main screen. Say you like what you’re seeing, press watch on and this then changes the channel on the main screen.
The secret behind this TV’s thinness is that most of the technology isn’t actually in the bezel itself but hidden in this pack at the back including four HDMI ports.
Internet is another feature you are going to be able to get on the 9000 series and you are going to be able to get between 70 and 100 apps. One of the most exciting ones in the UK is LoveFilm and they haven’t got it here but it will have a similar interface to that of videos to be able to stream movies direct to your TV set. Also expect to see an announcement with iPlayer in the very near future.
Not only is this a mere 0.3 inches in thinness it also has 3D LED, internet TV and a pretty funky touch remote. It will be available in the UK in 46 and 55 inch, and expect to see it in shops this summer.
