Looking for Answers about samsung 50" Class (49.9" Diag.) 490 Series 720p Plasma HDTV (2010 model)?

As a matter of fact, although the PS3 does not offer HDMI 1.4 for full resolution 3D playback, the PS3's 3D system should still be compatible with the Samsung 3D TVs.

-MrSamsung

YES! Call of Duty: Black Ops works great with this TV.

Yes you will be able to do so. You will need a 3D capable HDMI and not just a basic HDMI cable. I too play my Ps3 and Xbox 360 on it, it looks very nice. I think you would be very happy with it for the Ps3.

I know this isn't part of the question, but when you hookup your Ps3 with the correct HDMI cable, the Ps3 will go through a display setup(You may need to go to the Display Setting menu) and it will recognize the TV and ask for screen size to correctly setup the display for 3D.

I think YES if the game supports it. I've done it with XBOX360. Just need an HDMO cable that supports 3D.

Yes, using an HDMI Cable, go to display config on the PS3 and choose automatic. The PS3 will detect that the TV is 3d, then just start playing a 3d-compatible game.

Yes, you need an HDMI 1.4 cable that says "3D Supported".

I play Call of Duty: Black Ops on the PS3 with this model and it's amazing how much more immersive the game becomes.

Yes - My TV works with my PS3 in 3D.

Yes you will be able to play 3D PS3 content on this tv.

yes, but if you pause your game it will scracth your tv. for some reason it is not recommened for game use even though you can go online with the tv but for that you have to buy the applications and you have to but the keyboard. if you pause the game you will notice that there will be black markes or spot on your tv that you can't get rid of. so yes you can play games on it but not a wise choice......

Unfortunately, 3D glasses are not included with any of the 3D TVs. All 3D glasses are sold separately.

-MrSamsung

2 pairs of glasses included

No. Glasses are _NOT_ included.

I had to buy the Samsung SSG-2100AB to see 3D content.

The tv don't come whit a glasses but in some sites u can find a bundle like tv + 2 PAIR OF GLASSES .or buy them separately

2

include 2 glasses....

No - glasses are no included :(

This TV doesn't come with glasses, but the store we purchased it from had a special happening where they provided 2 free pairs of glasses with the purchase of the TV. Great deal if you catch the store at the right time. I am sure these "deals" will happen frequently so watch your local adds.

No they are not

I got my glasses with a package deal and it was 2 of them.

As a matter of fact, all of the Samsung 3D TVs will offer built in 3D emitters.

-MrSamsung

yes

Yes, it will only officially work with Samsung brand active 3d glasses.

3D emitters are built into the trim at the bottom of the TV.

Yes

Yes - with a 3D source or 3D converted, all you have to do is turn the glasses on - but I can't tell you where the emitter is located on the TV.

Yes, this tv has a built in 3D emitter on the bottom part of the bezel. You can not see it or tell its there. It tells you in the manual.

Yes this tv has the built in emiiter

yes

Yes it does!!!

Yes, just like the other Samsung 3d plasma it can convert regular 2d content to 3d. Samsung has also added a Depth feature to allow the viewer to control how much or how little 3d depth effect you want.

yes you can convert everything on 3D, including normal TV program .
you can turned on/ off when you want

The 3D can be toggled on/off.
It can also turn 2D in to 3D.

it cannot turn standard definition things in to high definition things. Watching a normal TV station will not be turned into a HD station just because you own this TV. no TV can do that and that is why you MUST have HD channels that are playing HD programs.

Yes - it can be done via a dedicated button on the remote or through the menu options.

Yes. There is a button on the remote that will allow you to convert any 2D content into 3D. You just press it and it will ask to you to confirm your choice. Press it again to turn it off.

yes this tv can convert 2d content to 3d, you can turn it off if you want to as well

Yes, It can convert non 3d images and video to 3d and vice versa

Yes it can be turned on and off

Yes it does and yes it is either turned on or off at your discretion!
I enjoy watching my regular DVD upconverted disks in 3D!

Yes there is a feature to turn 2D to 3D. It looks good but not as good as normal 3D content. I read in these posts that you can adjust the 3D dept so I will be looking for that in the menu section.

I won't be able to confirm the Blueray part until the PS3 gets its 3D Bluray update in September, but this Thursday I will be able to comment about the 3D games. I believe based on what I have read that this TV will do both just fine. In one article talking about this set it says that it can scale 1080p content down to 720p, meaning that if your 3D Bluray can only operate in 1080p mode the TV can compensate, and at that point the 3D effect will be only a matter of refresh rates. Onto the gaming issue, if you google ps3 3d stuck at 720p you can read how HDMI 1.3 (PS3) only supports 3D at the 720p resolution so I doubt there will be a problem there.

It works just fine with any 3d movie or game, in fact most xbox and ps3 games are only 720p anyway. Look on the back of the package and game resolution is listed. The 720p resolution only affects how the picture is displayed, not what content is can accept. I've seen 720p and 1080p next to one another and unless you sit greater that 10' from the television, you really don't notice the difference.

It is possible to play Blu-Ray DVD's on this TV even though it is 720P.
Blu-Ray does not technically mean 1080p. It just means it has the capability.

Actually, 1080p will display on a 720p screen because it is backward compatible.

The only difference is that the picture quality (clarity) will be reduced since 720p has less pixels.

3D works fin in 720p on this HDTV.

Mine does with the Samsung 6900 3D player.

This tv works wonderfully with blu ray and 3D games. You do not have to have 1080p although it looks as good as any 1080p tv that I have seen.

The tv can play blu ray movies in fact it wil play this in 1080p@24fps so you still get 1080p quality. I will surprise when i discovered that this tv could do this seeing that it was 720p very nice surprise for me.

Yes

Blu-ray movies work and look fantastic on this tv. You can't tell the difference between 720 and 1080 when watching blu-ray..

Yes - the TV plays 3d Blue Ray discs - also a Samsung 3d blue ray has a special sync with the samsung TV for better picture - normally I don't pair products, but in this case get a Samsung blue ray - with wireless built in you get internet and movie playback on the TV too!

No a 720p just has a little less resolution, clarity, which isn't even noticeable unless you sit far back from the screen. Other that that either 1080p or 720p works the same.

no that's wrong ,, i have this tv and i can see everything on 3D if i want

Yes this TV will play 3D movies & Games, hence why it is 3D.

Are all 3D TV's supposed to come fully equipped with 1080P? I don't know. What I do know is that on top of the four basic definitions we all know of (480i, 720P, 1080i, 1080P), when they created 3D, it appears to me that they secretly created TWO MORE DISPLAYS, including 720p(3D enabled) and 1080P(3D enabled) this leaves:
480i
720p
1080i
1080p
720p3D
1080p3D

This of course may be untrue, but from what I've researched on other 3D TV's of different brands makes and models, this appears true to me.

This set plays 1080p 3d content fine, it does this by downscaling the image to fit the panel.

Using my Playstation 3, I have watched 3D movies and played 3D enabled games. Both work great.

This tv does indeed play 3D movies and Games. I have a ps3 and watch 3D blu ray and play 3D games that look breath taking.

Yes this tv will play all 3d content including games with the samsung 3d glasses

that's not true , the tv I own is 720p and it works great with 3D movies and games

I am Playing Crysis 2 on this and the 3d in Stereo Scopic is Great.. I really Enjoy it.

No - there are several plasma 3D TV's like this that play 3D - it also converts ANY TV into 3D!
We watched the Superbowl in 3d - AWESOME!

Also, plasma produce the best 3D
