I thought i would share my experience for anyone else looking to buy a Samsung 3d tv in the near future.

I decided to buy an LED screen instead of Plasma as I think its not worth buying a tv just for a better 3d picture at the moment, not enough 3d content and by the time there is 3D screens will be way beyond what they are at the moment so we would probably want to buy a new tv by then.

I brought a Samsung UA55D6400 for 7.8k with a load of freebies, I also brought a PS3 with Gran tourismo 5 and Killzone 2 to test out some 3D gaming.

My first impressions of this TV was the picture quality was awesome and the 3D was way beyond what I expected from an LED. I watched the whole Shrek 3D pack and thought the 3d really added something new, the effects seems to go deep into the screen instead of jumping out at you that much, the only movie I have really noticed objects really jumping out at you would be The Lion King 3D which I thought was really well done in 3D. Avatar was also amazing in 3D although I did start noticing some crosstalk in some scenes. EPL was better that I expected in 3D also, I recorded the Chelsea vs Man u game before I brought the TV on Astro Beyond and it was actually pretty cool, you can get a much better idea of where the ball is going to end up once its been kicked and all the players and both nets seem to be standing up and the pitch has some good depth on it, I hope Astro do 3D broadcast for the Euros next year.

For gaming Gran Tourismo is really cool in 3D, I end up playing with the in car view cause it makes the effects even better, you don't really see the effects as good as you would in a decent 3D movie but the roads do disappear in to your wall. Killzone 2 the 3d is amazing and you could really see that no matter what the 3D haters say, it will be the future of gaming. With this tv there is a massive amount of ghosting/crosstalk while playing killzone 2, I turned down all the 3d settings in game and played around with the tv setting also but could only reduce it, Eveything seems transparent, after searching around on google I found that a lot of people have experienced this same problems with Samsung LED's and not so much with other brands. I can only play around 30 minutes of Killzone 2 before I start to feel a bit sick and my eyes feel like I have done a 48 hour gaming session.

The smart hub is all a bit of a waste of space for me as I can only get 1mb connection where I live so I can't stream any content without constant refresh and all the games are crap.

Now I have had the TV for a couple of weeks I have started to notice some imperfections in the picture quality. When there is a Black screen like when you turn it on or if you change your Astro channel there are 4 huge blobs of LED bleeding coming from each corner, also in some smokey scenes I can see lines going across the screen, 1 in the middle and some more towards the bottom of the screen, these are very hard to notice but once you have noticed them you spend all day trying to find them again. Another picture issue I have I'm not sure if its the tv or astro compressing their HD but on the HD channels if you look at the out of focus objects they are very blocky rather than just out of focus.

All in all I am very happy with the tv but I do wish I spent the extra 2k to get myself a 7 series with a better refresh rate.

Yeah i went for the LED cause I prefer the normal HD picture quality to plasma and was expecting the 3D to be pretty crappy but its actually much better than I thought it would be and I am glad I went for the LED.

Yeah glasses free will be cool but its probably 6 years away before they get a nice big tv playing full quality 3D without glasses and by then we will all want OLED screens.
