Samsung 3 Series (2008)


Released February, 2008

Product Shot 1 The Pros:Dynamic backlight. 2x HDMI Inputs.

The Cons:For a TV this small, you don't need 1080p support. That is not a con. Lacks the "Entertainment Mode" settings from the Series 4 and up. No 1080p support!

The 3 Series represents the least expensive entry level offering from Samsung and features a 720p native resolution in the larger sets, with the smaller sizes acting more as computer monitors. Similar to the L4000 series from Sony, the A330s strip away most of the extra features found in the more expensive Samsung lines, allowing consumers to purchase an LCD from a "top-brand" like Samsung without totally breaking the bank.
