Why it’s cool: The Series 5 is 1080p, which is not uncool, and both Series make use of Samsung 3D technology. Literally, you put on a special pair of glasses and you’ll be watching 3D in high-def.
CORRECTION~! One of many friends at Samsung has informed me that only Series 4 do (does?) the 3D thing. Additionally, for a video demonstration of what I meant by “put on a special pair of glasses and you’ll be watching 3D in high-def,” check out CNET. Apparently, we forgot our camcorder that day.

This 3D tech is sounding pretty cool. I’ve only been to one IMAX movie and it was just a real unique experience, a lot better than the old Red and Blue glasses.
But would people really want to have to put on special glasses to watch TV? Would it just be for movies? Games? Regular TV?
Is there an option in the menu to turn this ‘3d tech’ on and off?
Either way, what you’ve guys have been saying about it (especially for gaming) it just sounds awesome to bring that experience into homes.
