Samsung led the 3D movement with the launch of the world's first full HD 3D LED TV in 2010. This year, the 3D technology pioneer is furthering momentum with an expanded lineup of 3D Blu-ray players and accessories - including the flagship D8900 and D7500 Blu-ray devices.

Further, in 2011 Samsung has broken new ground in its Total 3D Solution, which includes four different models of 3D glasses from the entry to premium level, Samsung's new SWC-1000A wireless charger and a Skype-certified TV camera?which enables video calls on a Samsung TV without a headset or webcam.
Samsung's new 3D glasses, co-designed with Austrian luxury glasses brand 'Silhouete', weigh in at just under an ounce. Samsung also cut the LCD response time to improve contrast ratio, bringing forth a brighter 3D picture with less ghosting and viewing fatigue. Samsung's new active 3D glasses also come prescription ready - either via special prescription lenses that attach or through a special new temple design that connects to the top of the LCD frame for a greater range of movement. Samsung's new wireless charger powers up to four pairs of 3D active glasses through an elegant cylinder.
