Samsung C8000 58-Inch 1080p 3D Plasma HDTV (Black)

 This review is from: Samsung C8000 58-Inch 1080p 3D Plasma HDTV (Black) (Electronics)
I had the c8000 55" LED for over 3 weeks and loved the bright and clear picture, but it was hard to get the settings right for normal viewing, the viewing angle was atrocious vs. even LCD screens, and parts of the screen in dark scenes still have some clouding. I sent the LED back and purchased the c8000 58" plasma. I'm very happy with it so far, especially after tweaking the settings. Now, I have all the pop of the LED but with consistent colors, better blacks and unlimited viewing angle.

This was the most expensive item I purchased on Amazon and I was afraid of shipping damage. Well, no worries there as the shippers are just as great as Amazon!

Get a true cinematic experience without going to the cinema with a Samsung plasma HDTV. This Samsung PN58C7000, with Mega Dynamic Contrast Ratio makes sure every frame is saturated with dense, rich color. Samsung is also ENERGY STAR compliant so you are assured that your 58 -inch plasma HDTV is helping the environment by using less enery while saving you money.

I suspect we will all be watching in 3D more and more. I am glad that I waited and paid the small difference in price.
I'll let someone else help with the decision about the black filter that is the difference between the C7000 and C8000.
