Macon, GA (1888PressRelease) July 08, 2010 - While some manufacturers are yet to release any 3D TVs in Australia, Samsung Electronics Australia is already growing its range to meet consumer demand, announcing the arrival in-store of its 3D LED TV Series 8. The range offers Samsung's largest screen size to date on a 3D TV - a 65 inch panel featuring a stunning chrome finish. Also available in 46 and 55 inch screen sizes, Series 8 features all of the leading technologies found in the current 3D LED TV Series 7 range, including Internet ( @ ) TV services, PVR functionality and Skype dot In addition, it features Pinpoint Dimming technology delivering an even more detailed and vibrant picture dot The Samsung 3D LED TV Series 8 is the ultimate television for those wanting to take their home entertaining experience to an impressive new level dot

"The response to our first-to-market 3D TV range, the Series 7, has been exceptional, and the arrival of Series 8 now offers consumers looking for a 3D TV not only a broader range of screen sizes, but also a new level in premium design," said Mark Leathan, Head of Marketing, Consumer Electronics, Samsung Electronics Australia. "The LED TV Series 8 range is a prime example of Samsung's commitment to offering tomorrow's designs and technologies today. The eye catching look of the stylish chrome finish, combined with the best in class picture quality our Pinpoint Dimming technology delivers, makes this new range really stand out in the competitive TV market."

Make a statement with sleek chrome design
Its sophisticated contemporary style adds to the appeal of Samsung's 3D LED TV Series 8, with a brushed titanium finish offering a new look in TV design. Samsung's innovative four-legged swiveling quad stand completes the look, making the TV seem more like a unique piece of furniture that will complement any modern living room.

Unsurpassed picture quality with Pinpoint Dimming
The 3D LED TV Series 8 includes Samsung's Pinpoint Dimming technology that merges the advantages of LED edge-lighting with the control of local dimming technology in directly back-lit LED televisions. Pinpoint Dimming uses an array of special LEDs that create diamond-shaped areas of light to illuminate objects on the panel. 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 result: higher contrast ratios, deeper blacks, vibrant colours and enhanced energy efficiency.

See the big picture with a slimline 65" panel
For the first time, Samsung offers its largest LED screen option: an impressive 65 inch panel means you will never miss any of the action as it leaps off the screen. Ideal for entertaining, the sheer size of the stunning screen ensures bigger, wider and more impressive images - all on an ultra slim panel no wider than your finger!

Samsung 3D capable TVs have the ability to convert existing 2D content into 3D, allowing you to watch traditional 2D TV broadcasts, console games and standard DVD or Blu-ray movies in 3D-like depth. Australians will also be able to check out a number of 'apps' on Samsung TVs which create a truly interactive environment. Sit back and relax while the Samsung TV connects to the Internet and allows you to interact with friends and family via Skype, share your thoughts on Twitter and Facebook or watch hundreds of thousands of videos on YouTube - plus so much more!

The Samsung 2010 TV line-up represents a revolutionary new dimension in TV, introducing Australians to the stunning 3D TV picture experience plus the next generation of advanced interactive television capabilities and innovative design features.
