Samsung unveils new lines of appliances offering a seamless connectivity experience, writes
Its 2019 QLED TV line-up will be available in more than 60 markets this year.
One of the highlights is Samsung’s 98-inch QLED 8K (Q900R) TV, the largest and most powerful yet, says the company.
Adding to the line-up are the 65-inch, 75-inch, 82-inch and 85-inch models. The new QLED 8K TVs come equipped with AIpowered quantum processor.
Unveiled by Samsung as an industry first, its machine-learning quantum processor has the capabilities, which it calls AI Upscaling, to learn and compare millions of images that help it to calibrate lowerresolution sources and optimise them into 8K-quality content regardless of the original format.
The brand has also upgraded its Ultra Viewing Angle technology that allows backlight to pass through the TV panels more evenly onto the screen.
This is to ensure stunning picture quality from every viewing angle without glare or reflections in the daytime and brightly lit rooms.
Besides that, the adoption of Direct Full Array models has nearly doubled from last year. This technology puts backlit LEDs behind the panel for precise brightness control, allowing the light to be adjusted individually and deliver deeper black reproduction.
The HDR10+ picture processing format is also featured in all Samsung 2019 QLED TVs that will enhance contrast for each scene, and support HDMI 2.1 (8K 60P) transmission.
Samsung has added an even wider variety of themes for its Ambient Mode function. The TV does not have to be a boring black box when not in use as users can customise the Ambient Mode to complement the decor of their homes.
Other key products in the 2019 QLED line-up include a suite 4K TVs, including the 4K Q90R, Q85R, Q80R, Q70R and Q60R that range from the 43-inch to 82-inch e. In total, the expanded 2019 QLED line-up features more than 20 models and includes more large-screen models.
