Both HDTVs are currently featured in Amazon’s special limited offer. If you buy either model together with the Samsung BD-C6900 1080p 3D Blu-ray Disc Player, you will get a free 3D Starter Kit, which is normally priced at $349.99.
The kit includes two pairs of Samsung’s 3D Active Shutter Glasses as well as a 3D Blu-ray disc of the Dreamworks animated film, Monsters vs. Aliens.

Consumers can pre-order their 8000 LED models now or wait for the 9000 LED series, which can display true 3D content, as opposed to being 3D-Ready and comes with Samsung’s new cool remote control, although the release date for this is not yet certain.
