The Pros:3D-ready. Pin-Point precision dimming for whiter whites and deeper blacks. 240Hz Clear Motion Rate.
The Cons:High price. Additional 3D Blu-Ray player and 3D glasses needed for watching 3D movies. Has some trouble with 24p content - despite being 240Hz.

The 55” UN55C8000 sits right underneath its larger sibling, the 65” UN65C8000. Both units utilize a temporary design with LED edge lighting. More importantly, they host Samsung’s recently expanded Internet@TV service, which now allows users to stream content from Blockbuster, Netflix, USA Today, and VUDU video on demand. Plus users can access other Internet applications/services like Twitter, Pica, AccuWeather, and Pandora either by the integrated Ethernet connection or via an optional WiFi adapter.
