I know lots of you have been eagerly awaiting this moment, so drumroll please ... the Samsung UE46C7000 will today be the first active 3D TV to enter our product survey.

It features edge LED backlighting and 200 Hz Motion Plus technology for smooth-flowing pictures, not to mention 2D-to-3D conversion. It's also got plenty of multimedia functions with DLNA compatibility, the Internet@TV content service, PVR-Ready functionality and an integrated multimedia player. It's worth bearing in mind that our UE46C7000 is one of Samsung's pre-issue models, although the picture quality is not likely to change much between this and the final version.

To help us get the best out of the TV's 3D functionality, Samsung lent us their BD-C6900 3D Blu-ray player and the 3D version of the film Monsters vs. Aliens. So were we impressed? Find out in our product test.

Update 07/06/2010: the C7000 is also available in 40'' and 55'' versions.
