Samsung UE40C7000 3D LED TV REVIEW

Tuesday, June 29th, 2010

If you are considering a 3D TV against an LCD, Plasma or LED TV, then this would be a perfect choice. There isn’t a great deal of 3D content available just yet as it’s early days for the format. However, Samsung have included a feature with the UE40C7000 which upscales 2D images to 3D. They are impressive, but even better from the real 3D source. (Sky TV are launching a 3D channel later this year too). In order to view full 3D images you will need a 3D Blu-ray player and 3D Active Shutter glasses too.

This TV will ensure you are future proof, not only with the 3D format, but also with connectivity such as Internet@TV which allows you to stream web movies from the web straight to your TV. A Personal Video Recorder Ready feature means that you can record any of your favourite TV shows and they are recorded onto USB. Skype is also on there so you can make calls via your TV.

As performance goes, a Samsung TV that offers the latest 3D format, should not be able to fail in our eyes. And it really doesn’t. Images are out of this world with depth, vibrancy, sharpness, and smooth movement. 3D images really have to be seen to be believed. If you have seen a 3D film at the cinema, you know what to expect, but this is better. For one, it’s in your lounge, and also the images seem to jump out at you much more, probably down to the fact that you are nearer the screen, and don’t worry you totally forget you are wearing the 3D glasses!

We give the Samsung UE40C7000 a well deserved 10/10, as this is TV and film at its absolute best.

Breitling SuperOcean

Friday, June 25th, 2010

The new Breitling SuperOcean has been revealed, and it is a heck of a radical change. Gone are the rider tabs, gone are the solid stainless bezels. We are returned to the bezel inserts reminscent of the Breitling Superocean Heritage, except this time being rubber inserts. The dial and colors are very attractive to me, but somehow lacks the class that made the previous SuperOcean such a versatile watch.

The watch sizes in at 42mm, which is not changed from before. The numerals on the bezel are a little bit like the space invaders numbers that populate the bezel on the B01 as well. Movement is the tried and true Breitling Caliber 17, and Helium Valve is located at 10 o’clock. Water resistance remains unchanged at 1500m. The new dial colors are called: Abyss Black, Abyss Silver, Abyss Blue, Abyss Red and Abyss Yellow. The tip of the second hand also matches the color of the chapter ring, which is a nice touch. The lume is now super oversized and could be called the Maxi-Dial, to coin a Rolex term.
