Labor Day is over. It's time to put away your white pants and get back to business -- TV business. Amazon is kicking off the post-holiday week with a pretty sweet deal on a pretty sweet 3D TV.
We found Samsung's 55-inch UN55D8000 1080p 3D LED for just $1999.98 shipped. The TV has a list price of $3599.99, which means you can save a whopping 48 percent off the MSRP. The price includes 3D support right out of the box (and free glasses!), a full 1080p HD image, and lots of extras via Samsung's web-enabled Smart TV platform. It even includes free shipping to your front door. Find out more on Amazon's product page:
This 55-incher is part of Samsung's D8000 series, which can support 3D content. Even better, this set actually comes packing two pairs of Samsung's active-shutter 3D glasses. That means that if you have the proper source material (Blu-ray 3D player or a compatible set-top box), you may be able to enjoy some of that 3D right out of the box.
If you're not quite ready for the 3D, this TV makes for a nice 2D set as well. Besides a full 1080p HD image, the UN55D8000 has Samsung's Smart TV platform. This allows you to stream web content through Netflix, Hulu Plus, Pandora, YouTube, and much more via downloadable Samsung Apps. (Subscriptions and fees may apply.) It even has a web browser, so you can surf the web while surfing channels. Other web features include built-in Wi-Fi and DLNA support, so you can easily connect to other devices on your home network. The set comes with the QWERTY Remote Control, which makes it easy to type search terms and surf your way around all of the added entertainment this set can offer.
Other features include Samsung's Micro Dimming Plus LED technology, Auto Motion Plus 240Hz, Skype options (via an add-on camera), and four HDMI inputs.
Besides the 3D, a full 1080p HD image and all of those Smart TV perks, the UN55D8000 is also quite pretty on the outside. It has a "virtually edgeless" screen, which means that the bezel is just a mere 0.2 inches. Check out this beauty, as well as many more of its specs, on Amazon's product page:
Why should the kids have all of the fun? This is your back-to-school bargain! Just remember to snag this deal directly from Amazon, and not one of its third-party merchants. That way, you will get the discount and the free shipping.
