Samsung ups the ante on immersive TV

Samsung unveils the biggest 3D TV yet — at least the biggest we've seen so far this week.

Samsung today unveiled the biggest 3D set to come to market (that's just the Korean market for now) thus far. The 75-inch, LED-backlit D9500 sticks with Samsung's active shutter tech, and includes the expected gamut of connected features (plus a QWERTY remote and Web browser). Tipsters suggest Stateside pricing will be around $13,000, with four sets of active-shutter glasses thrown in for your money. Given the rate at which dimensions are expanding in the TV market (it wasn't so long ago LG's 72-incher seemed almost unreasonably large), we suspect that Samsung might not wear the crown for long. But things change fast. Check this space for more.

(addendum, 6/1 - Our keen-eyed reader is correct. This was the biggest 3D set available through consumer channels, since supplanted by Bang & Olufsen's 85"; the 85" and up sets available from Panasonic are indeed larger, though only available in the professional market. A fine distinction, but a distinction nonetheless.)
