IFA: Samsung Unveils 50-inch 3D Plasma TV for under £1,000

Looking to upgrade to 3D without spending a fortune? Then you'll be pleased to hear that Samsung has just announced a 50-inch 3D plasma TV with a very interesting price tag!

One reason many consumers are not yet upgrading to 3D is the price of the TVs currently on the market. So one part of the Samsung stand has got everyone talking at this year's IFA, as the brand is proudly presenting a 3D plasma TV that's set to launch for under £1,000! We first heard about the PS50C490 back in July, but this 50-inch 3D plasma HD TV (720p, with a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels) has now been officially presented and is lined up for release this autumn for around £915 (TBC).

Other spec includes 2D-to-3D conversion, three HDMI ports and a USB connection. Plus, the PS50C490 has a sleek and particularly slim design. It goes without saying that Samsung has had to make a few compromises to make a 3D TV at this price. First of all, the resolution (see above) could be higher, but Samsung has also cut back on accessories, with no 3D glasses included as standard.
