An enhanced QLED TV features Intelligent Visual Expression to achieve crisp details, Adaptive Display to harmoniously blend into a living space and SmartThings app to seamlessly connect users to their home devices, powered by AI.
Today marks the local launch of Samsung’s 2018 QLED TV. Our relentless pursuit of TV perfection, coupled with an ambition to maintain our strong presence in the global market pushes us to usher in a new era of the Intelligent TV Display. It also introduces Samsung’s vision for the future of TV.
It is clear that today’s users are after larger screens, purer image quality, and hassle-free installations along with an easy-to-use AI-based technology to connect the smartphone to a TV. This is a trend driven by ever-changing consumers’ expectations.
Since its debut in early March at New York, the QLED TV is leading the global market with extra-large, ultra-high definition TVs .
It is the TV that does it all. In three simple words: Unrivalled viewing experience. No more distractions, just pure entertainment.
“This year, our 2018 QLED TVs are truly the most cutting-edge and contemporary-designed TV based on the modern consumer’s lifestyle. As such we are proud to say that our consumers will be able to enjoy their content, and how they interact with their devices on a redefined level,” said Yoonsoo Kim, President, Samsung Malaysia Electronics.
With this said; Samsung’s 2018 line of televisions is undeniably the most versatile and exciting yet. Thanks to the enhancements that have made the TV much more immersive and intelligently adaptive with users’ lifestyles, let’s take a closer look at the key features.
Q Picture: Enjoy Purest Pictures Without Distractions
To create even more stunning picture quality with pristine contrast, the TVs feature the new Direct Full Array which uses a panel with zones of smartly controlled backlighting that adjust automatically to deliver deep blacks and pure whites. This reduces blooming and halo effects and enables deeper contrast, with inky blacks and brilliant whites.
“This (Samsung Q9F) is a rare beast that seems as comfortable in pitch black as it is with the lights blazing. Its light and color performance is, as it was last year, unprecedented.” – TrustedReviews
Advanced Anti-reflection technology ensures that the TVs’ spectacular picture quality can be enjoyed from almost any angle, and also helps boost contrast. Aligned with the new products, which include models wider than 55 inches, Q Engine technology automatically upscales on-screen content to UHD levels to further enhance viewers’ immersion.
Q Style: Spend Time Watching, Not Searching
Samsung’s 2018 QLED TV’ style changes based on innovative technologies are also noticeable. Magic Screen is an energy-saving function that allows the TV to elegantly display images as well as real-time information such as the weather or news. For wall-mounted TVs, Magic Screen can mimic the pattern on the wall behind the TV to create an astonishing visual effect in which the TV blends seamlessly into the wall.
Samsung has also introduced a simple solution to eliminate cable clutter, called the One Invisible Connection, which integrates power cables and data lines that were previously separated to allow the TVs to harmonise with their surrounding aesthetic. Available up to 15 meters, it frees consumers from having to place their TV near data or power outlets.
“Samsung scored a homerun with the design of this year’s Q9F. Between the Invisible Connection cable that now also carries power as well as the video signal, to the simple yet helpful switch to a pedestal base cool, plus with the addition of Magic Screen, this TV is a technology statement with visual appeal.” – AVS Forum
Q Smart: Value Beyond Investment
The new QLED TV are designed to seamlessly connect with SmartThings -compatible devices to offer users even greater control over their home’s smart technology. In addition, users can access a variety of apps on the QLED TV that they can enjoy at any time through one intuitive menu.
