																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A bigger TV screen is generally speaking a good thing. Over time, larger TVs have not only become more accessible but increasingly popular among consumers. They enable viewers to fully immerse themselves in the content they’re watching, as advancements in film technology now allow our favourite stories to come to life on the screen in more realistic ways.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>However, simply having a larger screen does not always result in a hyper-realistic viewing experience. As we enter the era of ultra-large TVs, Samsung Electronics has been upgrading its screen technology to provide <span>incredible</span> in-home entertainment. To learn more about these changes, Samsung Newsroom is exploring three key features that make the large-screen experience truly exceptional.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>8K Resolution: The Key to Unlocking the Full Potential of Bigger TVs</strong></h3>
<p>While screen sizes may be getting bigger, this does not mean that picture quality is better by default. If the size of a TV screen was increased without considering the number of pixels, the resulting image would be blurry, low-resolution and, overall, much worse.</p>
<div id="attachment_4549" style="width: 730px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="wp-image-4549 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Neo-QLED-8K-visuals_main1.gif" alt="" width="720" height="480" /><p class="wp-caption-text">If the number of pixels does not change, image quality becomes compromised as screens grow larger.</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In order to improve picture quality, the space on a bigger screen must be filled with more pixels. As such, Samsung’s Neo QLED 8K has four times the number of pixels than 4K TVs. This means that even on ultra-large screens, Samsung&#8217;s Real 8K Resolution<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span>[1]</span></a> maintains premium picture quality with densely packed Mini LEDs and upgraded processing.</p>
<div id="attachment_4550" style="width: 435px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="wp-image-4550 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Neo-QLED-8K-visuals_main2.gif" alt="" width="425" height="283" /><p class="wp-caption-text">The Neo QLED 8K offers four times as many pixels compared to the Neo QLED 4K.</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>While Samsung has been at the forefront of evolving screen trends <span>as a</span> lea<span>der in</span> the era of ultra-large TVs, it has also been innovating the technologies that power them. The two driving forces that enhance picture quality for Samsung’s latest Neo QLED 8K are the Neural Quantum Processor 8K, which analyses and optimises content to make full use of the 33 million pixels, and Quantum Matrix Technology Pro, which leverages a plethora of technologies to offer precise control for each of the Mini LEDs.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Neural Quantum Processor 8K: Enhancing the Resolution, Colour and Depth With 64 Neural Networks</strong></h3>
<p>While Samsung Neo QLED 8K TVs offer <span>Samsung’s </span>best-in-market picture quality, not all content is readily available in 8K.<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span>[2]</span></a> To ensure that every detail springs to life on screen, Samsung’s Neo QLED 8K is powered by the state-of-the-art Neural Quantum Processor 8K to upscale lower-resolution content in real time.<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><span>[3]</span></a> Samsung’s Neural Quantum Processor 8K is trained to recognise underlying patterns and relationships in pictures, transforming low-resolution images into high-resolution by comparing the original set of images to processed results in each neural network.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>While higher resolution sources ultimately create better picture outputs, there may be<span> sources that come in Standard Definition (SD or 480p), High Definition (HD or 720p) or Full High Definition (FHD or 1080p)</span>. With Samsung’s Neural Quantum Processor 8K, those shows and movies will be transformed into stunning 8K resolution to deliver the most immersive picture yet.<a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4"><span>[4]</span></a></p>
<div id="attachment_4548" style="width: 634px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="wp-image-4548 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Neo-QLED-8K-visuals_main3-1.gif" alt="" width="624" height="416" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Enjoy optimal picture quality no matter the source with Neural Quantum Processor 8K.</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung’s advanced processor also powers innovations such as Auto HDR Remastering, a feature that takes full advantage of the screen’s wide colour gamut and incredible peak brightness. AI technology analyses each scene to make it colourful and vivid, bringing out the details in both bright and dark spots.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>High Dynamic Range (HDR) video formats the display using a wider range of colours with brighter highlights when compared to Standard Dynamic Range content. This means that with Auto HDR Remastering – and the extraordinary contrast powered by Quantum Matrix Technology Pro with Quantum Dot technology – <span>virtually </span>everything you watch is compelling.<a href="#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5"><span>[5]</span></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_4553" style="width: 634px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="wp-image-4553 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Neo-QLED-8K-visuals_main4_edit2.gif" alt="" width="624" height="303" /><p class="wp-caption-text">HDR displays a wider range of colours with brighter highlights compared to SDR.</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung’s Neo QLED 8K also offers Real Depth Enhancer Pro. With upgraded AI deep learning, Real Depth Enhancer Pro pinpoints where the viewer is focusing on the screen and brings that object into the foreground. With figures on the screen separated from their background, you see a three-dimensional looking image. Additionally, the Neural Quantum Processor provides a sense of depth paired with incredible levels of detail and vivid colour reproduction, immersing you in<span> virtually everything</span> you choose to watch.</p>
<div id="attachment_4552" style="width: 453px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="wp-image-4552 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Neo-QLED-8K-visuals_main5.gif" alt="" width="443" height="295" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Real Depth Enhancer Pro finds the point the viewer is focusing on and brings the object into the foreground.</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Quantum Matrix Technology Pro: The Ultimate Precision With Quantum Mini LEDs and 14-bit Processing</strong></h3>
<p>Another critical piece of technology powering the Neo QLED 8K’s picture is Quantum Matrix Technology Pro, which uses Quantum Mini LEDs to dramatically enhance black levels and contrast with precise backlight control.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>.<a href="#_ftn6" name="_ftnref6"><span>[6]</span></a> This makes for a screen that is more densely packed with LEDs, improving picture quality while maintaining the Neo QLED 8K TV’s vibrant colours and bright highlights.</p>
<div id="attachment_4554" style="width: 466px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="wp-image-4554 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Neo-QLED-8K-visuals_main6.gif" alt="" width="456" height="304" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Precise backlight control with Quantum Matrix Technology Pro.</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>To provide the best image quality, 14-bit HDR processing allows for maximised contrast, expressing unimaginable levels of detail in both the brightest and darkest parts of the image. This ensures even the most subtle details are visible to users in virtually every single scene.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Furthermore, Quantum Matrix Technology powers Samsung’s Shape Adaptive Light Control. This feature precisely adjusts backlighting to accommodate what’s on the screen, enhancing the clarity of everything you watch. Because the backlight control is so accurate, this prevents blooming – or when bright light from on-screen objects bleeds into surrounding darker areas. As a result, bright highlights stay bright and dark scenes stay dark with more details visible than ever before.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Expanding Consumers’ TV Usage</strong></h3>
<p>In a nutshell, 8K resolution densely fills the ultra-large screens while the Neural Quantum Processor 8K and Quantum Matrix Technology work together to create a picture that is <span>intensely </span>cinematic. Sharp details, accurate colours, precise contrast and a realistic sense of depth allow the Neo QLED 8K to showcase stunning picture quality and captivate <span><a href="https://news.samsung.com/au/samsungs-2023-tv-lineup-wows-reviewers-with-exceptional-picture-quality-and-immersive-sound">viewers everywhere</a></span>.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In 2017, Samsung then went on to introduce the world’s first QLED TV based on cadmium-free quantum dot technology at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES). The company’s innovative TV was at the centre of attention that year, boasting superb picture quality.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>A year later, the company brought to the market a QLED 8K model that incorporated 8K resolution into Samsung’s proprietary quantum dot technology. It featured Direct Full Array, a backlight technology able to precisely control the lighting balance across virtually every part of the picture on-screen, as well as 8K AI Upscaling, an upscaling technology designed to intelligently upgrade lower-quality videos into vivid 8K resolution.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Striving for Superior Picture Quality Through In-Depth Research Into Human Behaviour</strong></h3>
<p>Samsung continues to strive to offer the best possible viewer experiences by delivering incredible picture quality. However, what does “good picture quality” mean to someone who works on its development?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_4053" style="width: 1389px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img class="wp-image-4053 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Youngseok-Han.jpg" alt="" width="1379" height="919" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Youngseok-Han.jpg 1379w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Youngseok-Han-845x563.jpg 845w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Youngseok-Han-768x512.jpg 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Youngseok-Han-1024x682.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1379px) 100vw, 1379px" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Pictured: Youngseok Han from H/W Platform Lab of Samsung’s Visual Display Business.</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Picture quality is considered good when it delivers a sense of reality to the viewer that feels as if you are witnessing the images on-screen first-hand,” explained Youngseok Han, a developer from the H/W Lab. “To ensure good picture quality, display performance indicators such as high resolution, high luminance and excellent colour expression are essential. What also matters is how well-balanced the other cutting-edge technologies of the display are, including the chip design, the picture quality algorithms and the sound.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Han went on to provide further insight into the importance of balance to the corresponding picture quality. “The factors that impact picture quality the most are how well you organise the various relevant technologies. These include those designed to reduce distortion and any image transmission noise, those that reproduce colours precisely and richly and create sharp contrast for more vivid, clear images and those motion technologies that ensure the movement of objects on-screen appears smooth and fluid.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>It would be difficult to develop good picture quality with just one singular technology, no matter how great that technology is. This is why Samsung is committed to developing innovative technologies through all kinds of different approaches without resting on their laurels as a leader in the industry. Recently introduced on the 2023 Neo QLED TV, Real Depth Enhancer is one of the new features that has been developed to the end of further improving picture quality.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_4054" style="width: 1063px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img class="wp-image-4054 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Depth-Enhancer.jpg" alt="" width="1053" height="579" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Depth-Enhancer.jpg 1053w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Depth-Enhancer-1000x550.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Depth-Enhancer-768x422.jpg 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Depth-Enhancer-1024x563.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1053px) 100vw, 1053px" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Real Depth Enhancer. Image simulated for illustrative purposes.</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>When human eyes are focused on an object, attention is directed onto the object by optimising sharpness, clarity and texture, all while also maintaining the background scene. Samsung’s Real Depth Enhancer technology was developed based on an understanding of this human behaviour, and harnesses AI to automatically separate an object from its background to create a greater sense of depth and make the images truly pop.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Furthermore, Neo Quantum Matrix Pro technology improves the playback of fine details through precise control of the quantum mini LEDs. This meticulous adjustment further adds dimension and a sense of reality to the images on-screen.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Our Real Depth Enhancer technology is the result of an optimisation of all the relevant technologies in a way that takes human psychology into account, instead of focusing only on improving resolution,” noted Han.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>From 8K Games to Artworks on Samsung TVs in the Age of 8K Technology</strong></h3>
<p>These days, users are being bombarded by new content. Tens of thousands of new pieces of media and content are being published every day across all manner of platforms – but does the same apply to those contents being made in 8K?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_4055" style="width: 1389px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img class="wp-image-4055 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Sangmin-Lee.jpg" alt="" width="1379" height="919" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Sangmin-Lee.jpg 1379w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Sangmin-Lee-845x563.jpg 845w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Sangmin-Lee-768x512.jpg 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Sangmin-Lee-1024x682.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1379px) 100vw, 1379px" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Pictured: Sangmin Lee, Head of the Picture Quality Solution Lab.</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Following the recent growth of 8K devices including smartphones, anyone is able to create 8K content and view it in ultra-high resolution,” said Sangmin Lee, Head of the Picture Quality Solution Lab. “High-performance graphics cards also now make it possible for users to play 8K games, meaning that we are already living in the age of 8K UHD.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_4113" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img class="wp-image-4113 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/8K_Interview_main8.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="666" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/8K_Interview_main8.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/8K_Interview_main8-845x563.jpg 845w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/8K_Interview_main8-768x511.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Image simulated for illustrative purposes.</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Song further detailed the growth of 8K content in today’s viewing market. “There is a growing amount of 8K content available on social media channels, and artists are creating digital artworks in 8K,” he explained. “We added in ‘YouTube Videos in 8K’ feature to the 2023 Neo QLED TV to allow users to peruse the 8K content available on YouTube and explore digital artworks, such as an image in NFT<a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4"><sup>[4]</sup></a> form, at a single glance.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung is also taking the lead in expanding the 8K content ecosystem by being at the helm of the 8K Association, a global non-profit organisation established in 2019 with the aim of establishing 8K standards and expanding 8K content. As of February 2023, the association has 33 members, including Samsung, TV panel producers, SoC chip makers and leading content creators. Last year, Samsung released a teaser for <span><a href="https://news.samsung.com/global/samsung-electronics-and-prime-video-bring-the-lord-of-the-rings-the-rings-of-power-to-life-in-8k"><em>The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power</em> series in 8K developed in collaboration with Amazon Prime Video</a></span>, another member of the 8K Association.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Developing Optimal Picture Quality That Takes Viewing Experiences to the Next Level </strong></h3>
<p>In order to learn more about the next steps for Samsung, an industry leader in terms of picture quality in the age of 8K technology, Samsung Newsroom asked the three TV professionals what their goals are.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“As a developer, I feel the most accomplished when I hear the feedback that viewers think the images on-screen seem real to them,” said Han. “My goal is to further improve our algorithms by optimising a range of components in order to deliver picture quality that is ‘more real than real’ to viewers.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>For Song, creating technologies that bring real value to users is of the utmost importance. &#8220;While the development department works to create the best picture quality through technological innovation, I am more involved in optimising products to bring high-quality experiences to as many viewers as possible,” said Song. “I will continue to deliberate on what other kinds of user value we can bring to our viewers.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Finally, from Lee’s perspective, the goal is and always has been to provide users with experiences that go beyond simply watching content. “The most important value that a display can provide is to present images that seem more real than reality itself,” explained Lee. “Through the best picture quality algorithms and leading sound performance, the optimal picture quality that is delivered then allows users to enjoy their favourite content without having to worry about adjusting the settings. Our ultimate goal is to offer superb picture quality that enables users to thoroughly enjoy their viewing experiences that go beyond simply watching content.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Samsung is globally known for its innovative TV technology, each year aiming to improve the picture quality with the latest Neo QLED 8K and the state-of-the-art MICRO LED. Whether it’s backlight control and contrast levels or calibration and depth enhancing, all of Samsung’s features work together to present pristine image quality.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This year’s Neo QLED 8K lineup includes features that produce its most “real life” images yet, taking its picture quality to another level. Between the updated Neural Quantum Processor 8K, the new AI upscaling feature and the new calibration app, a consumer’s on-screen experience becomes virtually true to life, allowing them to easily manage their on-screen experience in a much more personal manner.<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span>[1]</span></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>To fully grasp the technologies and features behind the 2022 Neo QLED 8K range, Samsung Newsroom is showcasing them in a dynamic graphic format for easy comprehension.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>14-bit Contrast Mapping</strong></h3>
<div style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img class="size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/01_14bit-Processing_final.gif" width="1000" height="563" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Image simulated for illustrative purposes.</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The 2022 Neo QLED 8K panels are built to provide extreme details in all types of scenes with the newly added 14-bit contrast mapping, building on top of the existing 12-bit control offered in 2021. The result is a new 8K screen that is capable of showing extraordinary picture quality with more contrast and control over details.<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span>[2]</span></a> As shown above, 14-bit contrast mapping allows us to see the fine details on the surface of the water as well as the granular texture of the rocks under water.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Real Depth Enhancer</strong></h3>
<div style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img class="size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/02_Real-Depth-Enhancer_final_2.gif" width="1000" height="563" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Compared to Samsung’s Crystal UHD TV range. Image simulated for illustrative purposes.</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>When the eye is focused on the object, it directs its attention to the object, focusing on the sharpness, clarity and texture of the object while maintaining the background. The 2022 Samsung Neo QLED 8K’s Neural Quantum Processor 8K acts quite similarly through its new feature, the Real Depth Enhancer, which increases overall contrast and definition of the object — creating a sense of depth and making the images pop.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As you can see in this example, the Real Depth Enhancer naturally guides the consumers’ eyes to focus on the object in front of them, creating depth and allowing the rhinoceros to truly stand out from the background.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Smart Calibration</strong></h3>
<div style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img class="size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/03_Smart-Calibration_final_2.gif" width="1000" height="563" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Image simulated for illustrative purposes. Sequence shortened.</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With a new year of image quality improvements, comes a new sense of control for Samsung Neo QLED 8K. Now, viewers can calibrate and optimize their display from the menu bar or through the Smart Calibration on the Smart Things app on their smartphone.<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><span>[3]</span></a> With Basic Mode, the app offers calibrated images in as little as 30 seconds, while Professional Mode offers thorough image calibration and optimization within 5 to 8 minutes. Both modes require a simple one-step process from the users’ part to optimize the on-screen image. As shown here, the Professional Mode’s enhancement is very apparent, allowing Neo QLED 8K viewers to take advantage of its premium hardware and AI upscaling technology.<a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4"><span>[4]</span></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="#_ftnref1" name="_ftn1"><span>[1]</span></a> Compared to Samsung’s 2021 Neo QLED lineup.</p>
<p><a href="#_ftnref2" name="_ftn2"><span>[2]</span></a> Compared to Samsung’s Neo QLED 8K Smart TV &#8211; QN900A.</p>
<p><a href="#_ftnref3" name="_ftn3"><span>[3]</span></a> Requires Galaxy S, Note, Z Flip or Z Fold series models released after January 2019, or an iPhone that supports Face ID. Supported models may differ depending on the situation. For more information, please check the product manual at samsung.com/support</p>
<p><a href="#_ftnref4" name="_ftn4"><span>[4]</span></a> Picture quality of upscaled content will vary depending on the quality and resolution of source content.</p>
