Does this Model Convert 2D images to 3D?

Best Answer

As a matter of fact, all of the Samsung 3D TVs offer the ability to convert 2D signals to 3D. That said, 2D signals can still be displayed as 2D by turning off the 2D to 3D conversion feature (a button on the remote allows for easy switching between modes).

Looking at Best Buy the sales person say's this T.V is a hybread plasma / LED has both tecnoligy I do not see this in the t/v spec's is it true

while shopping in corna ca. we were looking for a Samsun LED 50 or bigger t/v, we were shown this 58" Samsung plasma, picture looks as good or better than the LED. The saleperson is telling us it has LED/ plama tecnoiigy combined and the t/v is refered to as a hybread. Once I am home a looking at the Best Buy web sight there is no mention of this type ability.

I'm sorry for the confusion. Due to the Plasma technology and how it works (Plasma Televisions operate using a combination of gas and glass to illuminate the individual pixels, or light sections, within the screen), the Samsung Plasma TVs do not offer LED illumination on the panel.

Every So often the screen goes black on my PN58C8000 for about 4-5 seconds. Is this the TV or the HDMI Cable?

I’m sorry you are having an issue with your device. Although with the information you have provided I do not have a solution for you; I will say that if you contact your local Best Buy's Geek Squad or Samsung Service, they should be able to provide you with a live solution.

Will it burn images in the screen like old plasma tv's if I play Ps3 games on it?

Best Answer

Although permanent burn-in is a rare occurrence, temporary burn-in or ghosting can be prevented or eliminated. There are two different kinds of active burn in protection features on the Samsung Plasma TVs. The first one is PixelShift (PixelShift can be adjusted on or off and allows for intensity level adjustments). This feature will basically move all your pixels, uniformly, a predetermined amount of pixel spaces in order to prevent a pixel from being lit in a specific pixel space for too long. However, if ghosting does occur, you can use the other anti-burn in feature, called Scrolling, to help refresh the screen. The Scrolling feature will "scroll" a gradient of black and white across the screen to help eliminate the ghosting, if any, that has accumulated on your panel. Both of these features can be found in the Picture Options section of the TV's menu.

Will any 3D glasses work with the 58" Samsung plasma 3D TV?

Best Answer

From the information I have, only the Samsung 3D glasses are 100% compatible with the Samsung 3D TVs. Every manufacturer offers different technology and connectivity for their 3D hardware even though the 3D itself is transmitted the same way (over HDMI 1.4).

How does the quality of the 58" plasma 860 series compare to the same 58" 8000 series 3D?

Best Answer

There are a few differences between the C8000 and the B860.

1. The C8000 offers a higher dynamic contrast ratio (7,000,000:1 vs the B860's 3,000,000:1)

2. Asides from the 3D, the C8000 offers these additional features:
- Real Black Filter- for brighter whites & deeper blacks
- Motion Judder canceler
- Calibration Mode- Allows for calibration of the image on the TV itself.

All of these features will allow the C8000 to offer a better overall picture.
