Customer Reviews
The best vehicle for 3D content 
I purchased this Samsung PN50C7000 TV as a replacement for an older JVC DLP 1080i set. The colors and details are amazing! Playing PS3 games and blu ray movies on a plasma are everything I've read about. There has been absolutely no blurring during action movies like some LCD's can have. I don't know how it compares to some of the "industry's finest" plasmas, like a Kuro, but from what I've seen, the black levels have been superb.
Awesome TV with a few shortfalls
Samsung UN46C7000 46-Inch 1080p 240 Hz 3D LED HDTV (Black)
Acquired the TV while on a trip to the States and brought back to Brazil with me (a 55" by commercial flight!). My lab at the University of Sao Paulo has created stereoscopic 3D content for teaching and entertainment for many years. This TV has proved to be the perfect medium to show our material to small audiences. The images are cristal clear and the definition is superb! Thanks Samsung and all the others manufactures (Panasonic and Sony so far) for bringing this futuristic machine to reality in my time. I highly recommend it. Just be patient and wait for all the wonderful content (entertainment and educational) that will be flooding the market very soon.

Time Warner Cable’s unique ESPN Web deal
Many media business journalists let out a collective sigh of relief at the news that Time Warner Cable had finally inked its deal 
with Walt Disney to keep carrying its programming, including ABC, Disney channels and various ESPN networks. The programming fee negotiations had gone late into the night past their Wednesday midnight deadline and hacks, who had seen this movie before, were just starting to tire of waiting for another midnight watch.
Perhaps the most interesting part of the deal is that Time Warner Cable’s ESPN customers will now have access to ESPN3.com, a website ESPN uses to show more than 3,500 live events, including matches from the World Cup this summer.
This is unlike other ESPN3 deals which have typically been tied to the cable operator’s Internet service provider. In those cases, ESPN3 would only be accessible to ISP customers of the cable operator.
Time Warner Cable’s deal comes under the auspices of TV Everywhere, the project that Time Warner Inc and Comcast Corp have been trying to convince the cable industry to support.
ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPNU will also be available online to authenticated Time Warner Cable customers as part of this deal.
“We wanted to make sure this was a product available to our video customers who get ESPN, and that they wouldn’t have to pay extra for it,” said Time Warner Cable spokesman Justin Venech.

Google’s Brin: Make smartphone apps searchable
For more than a decade, Google has reigned supreme as the main gateway to online information.
But with consumers increasingly accessing the Internet through specialized apps on smartphones like Apple’s iPhone, Google’s Web search engine could be at risk of playing a smaller role in the Internet’s next phase.
Google co-founder Sergey Brin has an answer: Make apps searchable.
On the sidelines of the press event in San Francisco to unveil Google Instant on Wednesday, Brin offered some thoughts on the future of apps and search.
“I do think with respect to apps, it would be nice to adopt some kind of URL conventions, so that even content within apps is in fact searchable, and I think that it would be nice to adopt some kind of standard in that respect, and that would benefit all search engines and all users.”
Has Google had talks with any organizations about making this happen?
“I don’t think we’ve pushed too far yet, because typically most of the apps that do surface content are usually reflections of websites today anyway. But if there starts to be more unique content in apps, I think that would be a nice thing.”
Do US Open organizers really think the iPad is dangerous?
The organizers of the US Open pride themselves on using technology to help tennis fans enjoy the sport more both inside and outside the stadium.
But, as far as iPad is concerned the tournament’s tech love affair only goes so far, as the grand slam organizers appear to have banned the device from the stadium itself.
Some visitors to Arthur Ashe Stadium learned about this the hard way; by being turned away from the gates when security guards found them carrying the offending gadgets.
Given that the event organizers take space on their website to boast about their iPhone app, it was not immediately clear why its bigger cousin the iPad should be forbidden.
One security worker explained to a disappointed fan of both tennis and the iPad that the ban was due to concerns about terrorists. “They’re using iPads to detonate things.”
Really? A US open official was not immediately available on Wednesday to verify this was the tournament’s official stance.
Hidden in the security section of the visitor’s guide to the US Open website is a list of items prohibited from the event including computers and laptops as well as video recorders.
But the irony was not lost on tech reporters and executives attending the game on Tuesday night because US Tennis Association has been reasonably forward looking when it comes to technology. The event’s tech boasts include an augmented reality iPhone app that IBM developed for the USTA. That app promises to warn you about the quickest bathroom lines or off what’s happening in other courts if you point your phone in the right direction.
You could also enjoy the action of simultaneous matches by flicking between video streams on devices such as iPad.
Yet even Joe Ambeault, a product development executive for Verizon, explained how he was held up on his way to Verizon’s suite at the stadium because his bag included an array of gadgets such as an iPad, a laptop and some smartphones.
Then Ambeault went on to discuss how devices like iPads could be used to expand the use of Verizon’s FiOS video and internet service and improve enjoyment of sporting events, or at least those events where they are allowed.

Yahoo’s Bartz: Silicon Valley’s fun, growth will come
About two years into the Carol Bartz era at Yahoo, the company’s stock has underperformed Nasdaq and investors are still waiting for the massive growth expected of Web firms. Yet in a meeting with Reuters reporters and editors, Bartz says she’s more psyched than ever to be in Silicon Valley. Here’s a few snippets from the discussion:
Why’s the tech sector so crazy these days?
It’s one of the most fun times to be in Silicon Valley. It’s like everybody tossed up their cookies and they’re just trying to grab … Intel’s mad because Apple doesn’t use their chip. Microsoft, Apple, Google are always just trying to kill each other. Poor little Adobe got sucked in … Oracle did the deal with Hurd (HP’s ex-CEO). It’s just, like, fun.
So what’s triggering the cookie fight?
Mobility is what threw this one wide open. With a little help from Google getting too powerful for everybody’s stomach. If you think of just last October, November you almost couldn’t have seen how wild it has gotten in 6 to 8 months … (Then the Apple iPad hit the market) and everybody has to have one of these things now.
What about HP’s battle to buy 3Par after Hurd’s departure?
I think the HP management team wanted to show that they were still operating and “mine’s bigger than yours Michael (Dell), so I’m going to get it.”
How about Yahoo’s M&A strategy?
We were actually pretty clear on our investment strategy and it wasn’t around large investments. It’s about adding technology around the ad space, or technology for how one manages campaigns.
Would Yahoo buy AOL?
AOL? It would just defocus us. We already have more than they have in all those different areas.
So is Yahoo just about maximizing web page viewership?
We also care about the quality of our site. If you cared (just) about page views you’d put porn up.
Would Yahoo put porn up?
No. We really care about the quality of our site because we care about the neighborhood our advertisers are in. They come to a trusted neighborhood.
Just like they know what an offline publication stands for, they know what Yahoo stands for. We’re very careful. If something slips through we pull it down.
What about entertainment?
I talk about the four O’s sOcial, videO, lOcal and mObile,” (and likes to make fun of her Minnesota accent, apparently)
How hot is video?
Video is very important because, first of all, consumers love watching video. Advertisers are very comfortable with the video format … Our video advertising slots are always sold out. What does that tell you? Gee, I think we can get more.
How does video growth compare to the rest of Yahoo?
Video’s definitely growing faster.
What about your ad sales on the Yahoo sign-on page?
It’s actually been doing really well. The first client that came forward was Chevrolet. They had 7 times the click through rates onto their sites. They were just aghast. It irritates me but even the search terms around Chevy on Google went up.
Why didn’t you do this before now?
There was a real strong feeling, frankly, that it would detract from people trying to log in, that they’d get confused it wasn’t a log on page.
How about the speculation Yahoo wanted to buy Four Square?
We’re very, very interested in local. Local to us is the right content, the right partnerships. The newspaper consortium is important to that … It doesn’t take a Four Square to do that.
Google gets all the attenion in mobile. Where’s Yahoo?
We grew 15 pct in mobile quarter-over-quarter. We’re only a couple of million uniques behind Google in the US.
(Bartz explains uniques as “people who have Yahoo’s mobile search or Yahoo home page or Yahoo apps. That isn’t as well known as it should be.)
What’s next for Yahoo in mobile?
A lot more apps. With apps and users come ads. What we’re more interested in now is growing the uniques.
But Google’s heavily into mobile apps, too?
They don’t just get a free ride.
How about ad growth prospects?
The good news is when we talk to advertisers, it’s not like when we talked to them in the beginning of 2009, when they were just frozen. Now they’re just being very very careful. Budgets aren’t increasing. They’re just trying to find out what their media mix is and being careful about it.
What about those investors who are getting impatient for more signs of growth?
There’s no miracle coming here. We’re just running a good company and are going to run an even better company.
How long more will they stick with Yahoo?
Until they don’t. There’s always pressure. I’ve a job to do and that’s to turn this company around. It’s on its feet. I’ve got to turn it around and get everybody happy again. I don’t look over my shoulder. The board’s happy and I’m happy.

Yahoo Chief slams Apple’s iAd
You might think from listening to most of the world’s iPhone, iPad, i-everthingelse enthusiasts that Steve Jobs and Apple can do no wrong, but not everybody is in agreement.
In a bout of clear anti-i sentiment, Carol Bartz, CEO of Yahoo, scorned the notion that her company should follow in Apple’s footsteps with a service similar to iAd, the mobile advertising platform Apple unveiled this year.
”That’s going to fall apart for them,” Bartz said in an meeting with Reuters reporters Wednesday.
She suggested that advertisers will balk on Apple’s efforts to exert full Jobsean control over the ads. She kindly conceded that Apple’s effort is “ok for experimentation.”
Apple has already made changes to iAd to mollify U.S. competition regulators. But could Bartz’s comments just be a case of sour grapes from a rival? They follow an August 16 Wall Street Journal story on iAd’s “bumpy start.”
And by that time, a month and a half after the iAd launch, the report said only a handful of Apple’s promised 17 launch partners had kicked off their iAd campaigns.
Sports stadiums going green?
By Sarah McBride
Stadium owners dragging their heels on finding greener ways to power up their high-definition scoreboards and retractable roofs just got a kick in the pants from their league commissioners.
Major League Baseball, the National Football League, the National Basketball Association, the National Hockey League, and Major League Soccer have dished out letters to their teams and facilities asking them to embrace solar power.
Fenway Park in Boston is one of the select few that have installed solar panels.Sports suck up a lot of energy—but exactly how much is unclear. A spokesman for the Natural Resources Defense Council, which is working with the professional sports leagues to encourage their teams and stadiums to go green, says offering an estimate “could be premature and misleading, because it varies from team to team, based on size, location/climate, efficiency and type (indoor vs. outdoor) of stadiums.”
Some venues already use solar power. At the Staples Center, home to the Los Angeles Lakers basketball team, solar panels provide around 5% of the venue’s total power. If all arenas and stadiums had solar installations equivalent to Staples, they would reduce carbon emissions by about 86.6 million pounds a year—the equivalent of taking about 8,000 cars off the roads, the NRDC says.
Along with the letter, all teams and venues received a guide prepared jointly by the NRDC and the Bonneville Environmental Foundation that outlines what each stadium needs to do to add on-site solar power generation to its facilities.
With all eyes on Hurd, plenty of praise for new employer
It may have been the most anticipated tech earnings conference call of the year.
It’s a good bet many many folks in Silicon Valley, and tech investors in general, were dialed in to Oracle’s presentation on Thursday, eager to hear the first public utterances of new president Mark Hurd, the recently exiled CEO of technology giant Hewlett-Packard.
And it may have been a bit painful for Hurd’s former colleagues at HP to hear him quickly lavish praise on his new employer:
“I don’t believe there is any other company in the industry better positioned than Oracle,” Hurd said in one of his first public statements as president of the world’s No. 3 software maker.
“Over the last 25 years, I’ve competed against and partnered with Oracle and I can tell you that Oracle has amassed the most enviable portfolio of technology in the industry,” he said.
(Incidentally, Hurd had not been quite so effusive about HP in his final months at the company. On an earnings conference call in May, Hurd merely said HP had “more work to do to transform ourselves to reach our potential”, was “uniquely positioned to win,” and “well-positioned to capitalize.”)
Hurd was ousted from HP in early August in a controversial fashion, accused of filing inaccurate expense reports related to a female contractor who worked for his office. He landed at Oracle a month later, lured by pal and Oracle CEO Larry Ellison. But a clearly irked HP quickly sued to block him from joining the company, which both partners and competes with HP.
Given the pending litigation, it was little surprise that there was no mention of HP from Oracle officials on Thursday. Instead, it was all about IBM, although not in an aggressive, chest-pounding sort of way. IBM’s CEO on Wednesday had nice things to say about Oracle and Ellison, who returned the favor.
“IBM is a great company and I appreciate the kind words from Sam Palmisano about us being their No. 1 competitor now. And I mean that sincerely, I think Oracle is flattered,” Ellison said.

Panasonic’s First 3DTV Will Be $3,500
Posted by 3DTV Advocate in 3DTVs on February 11, 2010 | one response The first 3DTV coming from Panasonic will be the 54-inch Viera (TH-P54VT) and it will be priced at around $3,500. The set seems to be quite pricey, but they are releasing other models as small as 50 inches. Most experts are estimating that all the 3D models will be around $800 more than the non 3d models.
DTG to develop the UK 3DTV Standard
Posted by 3DTV Advocate in 3DTV Technology on February 22, 2010 | one response Standardization is an important part of 3DTV becoming mainstream and DTG is putting it’s foot forward to developing the UK 3DTV standard. Simon Gauntlett, the technology directory at DTG, made the announcement at DTG’s 3DTV seminar on January 21st.
DTG launched a conference in 2009 to gather members’ views on 3DTV technology and the role that they should have in developing its standards.
Since this conference 3D evolved from a cinema technology to a home entertainment technology. Networks are already set to launch 3D services this year. Standardization has already been set for Blu-ray and HDMI. The last piece of the puzzle is the standardization of the broadcast of 3D content.
DTG has been part of every development in UK digital television and this latest announcement tells us that 3DTV is about to become mainstream.
Trendy 3D Glasses
Posted by 3DTV Advocate in 3DTV Glasses on February 9, 2010 | 3 responses The first entry into what we expect to be a huge wave of trendy 3D glasses has come. These glasses look a lot better than the current plastic multi colored ones that you get at the theater. They have a kind of Austin Powers look to them. If you hate the current offerings at your local theater and like to stick out in the crowd, then these are the ones to get.
These glasses cannot be used with today’s 3D televisions, because they use active technology. These can be used with home projectors or at the movie theaters.
Panasonic’s Full HD 3D – What Is It?
Posted by 3DTV Advocate in 3DTVs on February 6, 2010 | one response Full HD 3D is Panasonic’s latest and greatest technology. It promises the same exact 3D experience as the movie theater. Panasonic claims that it is the world’s first HD 3D Technology.
Before we can understand the new technology, we must understand how the brain processes 3D images and how the previous 3d technology works. The brain creates 3D images by processing two images at the same time. These images come from each of your eyes. The brain then takes these images and reconstructs the space. This allows us to see images with 3 dimensional depth. These 3d images require twice as much data as a standard 2d image. In previous 3d systems the number of pixels had to be reduced by half to create left and right eye images. This reduced image resolution and greatly reduced the picture quality. Panasonic’s full HD 3D does not have this limitation. It is able to create 3d images without reducing any image resolution.
Panasonic’s full HD 3D technology is possible due to a combination of their technologies. Plasma panels have a great moving image response due to plasma’s self illumination characteristics. The 3D Drive system is capable of 60 frames per second for each eye totalling to 120 frames per second. This is the same number of frames per second as the movie theaters. Panasonic’s active shutter glasses are able to disect the 120 frames and distribute the correct frames to each eye. Lastly, BluRay’s 50GB capacity is able to hold a complete 3D HD movie.
Panasonic has announced 5 Viera Plasma Televisions that will have this technology. Panasonic’s Viera line is known for having the world’s highest contrast ratio, having clear sharp moving images, and beautiful color reproduction. The 3D Plasma VT25 Series will have the TC-P50VT20 (50-Inch), TC-P50V25 (50-Inch), TC-P54V24 (54-Inch), TC-P58VT25 (58-Inch), and TC-965V25 (65-Inch). Each set will come with a pair of their active shutter 3D glasses.
The prices have not yet been released, but they are expected to be released some time this spring.

?New HDMI Specification Targets 3DTV
Posted by 3DTV Advocate in 3DTV Technology on February 7, 2010 | no responses The latest HDMI specification has been released by HDMI Licensing LLC. The company intends on releasing a 1.4a version that will have an update for 3D television.
This was done in an effort to standardize 3D formats for movies, gaming, and broadcast content. The HDMI Consortium recognized the importance of doing so after seeing the mainstream adoptiojn of 3D gaining momentum and television networks including 3d technlogy on their roadmaps.
This is great progress for 3D television technology. Standardization always makes adoption of any technology easier for companies. They do not have to develop their own technology, they can just use the standard.
3D Contact Lenses – Are They Coming?
Posted by 3DTV Advocate in 3DTV Technology on February 9, 2010 | no responses According to Oliver Pasch, Sony’s Head of Digital Cinema Europe, 3D contact lenses are in the product development pipeline. This was said during a discussion with Patrick Schappert from a German web portal called Grobi.tv. No other details were released.
Based on the little information that was disclosed, we can make a few assumptions about this technology. For one, it would have to be a passive form of 3D technology. Active technology requires additional electronics to dissect the images. These extra electronics would not fit on a contact.
There are currently two forms of passive 3D technology being used in today’s 3D glasses. Linearly polarized glasses and circularly polarized glasses. Linearly polarized glasses usually have one side processing horizontal images and the other side processing vertical images. This technology does not allow you to tilt your head, because the images will bleed together. Circularly polarized glasses process images that are superimposed on to the screen using circular polarizing filters. Because the filters are circularly polarized, the viewer can tilt their head either way. We can make an educated guess that the contact lenses will be using circularly polarized technology. Contact lenses can rotate within a persons eye based on its shape.
If these contact lenses do come out, they won’t work with the current lines of 3D televisions. The current models require active 3D glasses that have electronics behind them.
I believe the best use for these would be for computer monitors at work. Many people at work spend hours in front of a monitor and 3D glasses may be uncomfortable wearing them for 8 hours at a time. 3D contact lenses would be the perfect accessory for a work station that would allow you to do work in 3D.
?3D Gaming Summit
Posted by 3DTV Advocate in 3DTV Technology, 3DTV Video Games on April 20, 2010 | no responses The very first 3D Gaming Summit is taking place tommorow in Los Angeles, California. The summit will feature an amazing lineup of gaming and entertainment leaders and will feature a huge 3D gaming lounge with all the latest 3D games and systems.
This summit should be a great catalyst for the adoption of the 3DTV standard. HD Gaming Systems like the XBox 360 and the PS3 helped increase HDTV adoption. This event will bring together the biggest companies in the industry and should help them work towards creating a real roadmap for 3D gaming in the near future.
Spider-Man will be in 3D
Posted by 3DTV Advocate in 3DTV Movies on February 12, 2010 | no responses Spider-Man will be released worldwide to theaters in 3D on July 3,2012. Jeff Blake, the Chairman of Sony Pictures Worldwide Marketing & Distribution, made the announcement. The new movie has not yet been titled, but it will be a reboot of the series. Marc Webb will produce and James Vanderbilt will write the screenplay. The producers will be Avi Arad and Laura Ziskin from Columbia Pictures and Marvel Studios.
Jeff Blake said “Spider-Man is the ultimate summer movie-going experience, and we’re thrilled the filmmakers are presenting the next installment in 3D. Spider-Man is one of the most popular characters in the world, and we know audiences are eager and excited to discover Marc’s fantastic vision for Peter Parker and the franchise”
Why does this movie have to be so far away? I can’t wait for it to come to the theater. I watch most movies at home, but anything that is amazing in IMAX or 3D, I will go to the theater. I just hope the reboot is done well. This series will start with Spider-Man in high school and I expect there to be some crazy high school shenanigans and bully beating.
