Samsung HT-C6930 3D Blu-ray home cinema set

All-in-one surround sound kit doesn’t come much better

When viewing Sky’s side-by-side 3D channel, or when converting 2D to 3D, you select the display mode manually on the TV so it’s useful that the screen can automatically switch to its Full HD 3D display mode when the HT-C6930 is the source. A message prompts you to put on and press the power button on the specs.

Samsung 3D specs

Samsung is currently doing a two-for-one deal on specs

Samsung’s 3D specs - unlike Panasonic’s - are quite comfy, even when worn over normal glasses, but daylight viewing is impossible as bright ambient light produces strobing in your peripheral vision.

I started my test with Avatar on 2D Blu-ray. The detail was simply stunning, with for example every fibre of Sully’s t-shirt and bristle of his beard clearly visible.

Now on to 3D and a Panasonic test disc that has a dozen scenes of bespoke 3D content. Knowing that every ounce of Full HD goodness was reaching the screen I concentrated on the dimensionality of the images.

As I expected from attending numerous 3D demos, the results were variable. Scenes where objects are propelled forward from the screen have a much greater effect than those that go back in to the screen. To feel as if you could take a ball from the outstretched hand of a juggler is an amazing experience but watching a tennis match where the players seem like living miniature figures is just weird.
