With the holidays just around the corner (yep, already), we thought you could use some help with gift ideas for the sporting fan in your life. Check out our full guide with all our gift ideas for sports fans.

Product: Samsung 65” Class (64.5” Diag.) 8000 Series 3D 1080p LED HDTV.

What It Is: Only the most incredible television man has created to date. (This may be a statement of opinion, but really, I’m not sure there is a more impressive TV in production.)

Why It’s A Great Gift: Because it has everything you would ever want from your television. It is 65 inches, which is probably at least 15 inches bigger than any TV you or your buddies have. And naturally, it’s in full 1080p, but that’s old-hat technology by now. No, the impressive part (other than the size), is that it’s in 3D, and offers web-connected Samsung apps.

You know what 3D is, so no need to explain -- aside from to say it’s incredible, and if you haven’t seen TV in 1080p 3D, it will blow your mind -- but we should tell you more about the apps portion:

Samsung Apps are a growing collection of apps specifically built for your TV that connects you to your favorite digital content like videos, sports, games, social networking and much more. With web-connected apps on your Samsung Smart TV, you can stream movies from Netflix or Blockbuster, TV shows from Hulu, videos from YouTube, Next Level sports information from ESPN, music from Pandora and view updates on your Facebook or Twitter accounts. It’s the apps that matter to you, now available on your TV.

Price: $5,999.99.
