Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. is today encouraging gamers of every ilk to visit Gamer City at PAX Aus 2024 (Melbourne, 11-13 October) where they can embrace their passion for gaming, streaming, and competition on Samsung devices spanning its Odyssey monitor, Galaxy smartphones, Smart TV and SSD ranges. Across the weekend, fellow citizens of Gamer City will include Australia’s top gaming talent including: Lannan Eacott aka @lazarbeam (43.3m total followers); Lachlan Power @lachlan (26.5m total followers); and, Kathleen Belstan aka @loserfruit (14.9m total followers), who will be available to battle worthy opponents. An Ultimate Gaming Pack comprising over AUD$6,000 of Samsung gaming products will be up for grabs[1] in addition to daily prizes for the fastest drivers in Gamer City.

Built on the foundations of competition, exploration, and community, Samsung’s immersive Gamer City experience at PAX Aus marks the first time that Samsung’s Odyssey monitors, Galaxy smartphones, Smart TVs, and SSD solutions have been showcased together in Australia to demonstrate the collective power of Samsung’s connected gaming ecosystem. With features including big screens, high-performance life-like graphics, and incredibly fast speeds optimised for gaming packed into these devices; Samsung is geared-up to show gamers of every skill level how they can embrace their game anytime, at PAX Aus and beyond.

According to Phil Gaut, Senior Director, Odyssey Monitors and Memory, Samsung Australia, the speed at which gamers are diversifying the devices on which they play, stream, and connect is contributing to the rapid growth of gaming in Australia. In fact, Samsung insights show that since 2023, most frequent daily gaming in Australia occurs on smartphones, ahead of gaming consoles, and PCs[2], with wireless earbuds and SSD storage common accessories that complete a gamers’ kit.

With Odyssey No. 1 for Gaming monitors in Australia and globally[3], Samsung as the Global No.1 TV brand for 18 years running[4], Samsung as the World’s No.1 Flash Memory brand[5], and Samsung the Global No.1 Smartphone provider based on global shipments[6]; Mr. Gaut says Samsung is in a unique position to provide the best gaming experiences for every gamer.

“We’re excited to open the gates of Gamer City at PAX Aus to unleash the full gaming potential of our cross-category devices alongside the best gaming talent in the nation,” said Mr. Gaut. “Our mission is to help every type of gamer get hands-on with our devices to better understand how we’ve pushed the limits of product innovation so Australian’s can game their way, and play to win every time. Underpinning every Samsung gaming device – be it an Odyssey monitor, Smart TV or Galaxy smartphone – is seamless connectivity that enables gamers to switch between these powerful devices as they choose, even mid-game, without missing a beat.”

The best of Samsung Gaming

Central to Samsung’s gaming ecosystem is its industry leading Odyssey gaming monitors, packed with cutting edge innovation to help Australians embrace their game.

• The 32-inch Odyssey OLED G8 gaming monitor features 4K UHD and a 16:9 aspect ratio paired with a 240Hz refresh rate and ultra-fast 0.03ms response time[7] for ultra-smooth game play.
• The 27-inch Odyssey G6 OLED Gaming Monitor QHDboasts a 360Hz refresh rate making it easy for gamers to navigate fast-paced gameplay. The OLED Glare Free Certified[8] display helps limit distracting reflections enabling incredible colour definition to come alive in vivid detail no matter the game. Both the Odyssey G6 OLED and Odyssey G8 OLED monitors feature Samsung OLED Safeguard+ and Dynamic Cooling System which applies a Pulsating Heat Pipe as a heat dissipation sheet to reduce heat and help prevent burn-in without interfering with gameplay.
• The 57-inch Odyssey Neo G9 gaming monitor brings 1000R curvature to a truly expansive ultra-wide dual UHD display in a 32:9 aspect ratio, wrapping you in the world of gaming. A 240Hz refresh rate pairs with incredibly detailed, pin-sharp images enabling gamers to see more of the action and act with conviction. The Odyssey Neo G9 also features DisplayPort 2.1 which offers nearly triple the bandwidth (80GBPs in total) of DisplayPort 1.4 to support dual-4K 7860 x 2160 resolution.

Traditionally a companion for console gamers, and now a streamers’ delight, Samsung’s Neo QLED and OLED Smart TV ranges are packed with features optimised for gamers.

• The Samsung OLED S95D 4K Smart TV includes 4K 144Hz VRR and Motion Rate 200, providing crisp visuals at incredibly high speeds[9]. With a Pantone ®-Validated HDR OLED displays and the World’s first Glare-free Certified OLED Display[10], the OLED S95D brings out details up to 70% brighter than OLED HDR+, resulting in richer contrast, brighter colours and deeper blacks[11].
• Samsung’s Neo QLED QN900D 8K Smart TV is Samsung’s first TV to support 4K content at 240Hz VRR via HDMI 2.1[12]. AI Auto Game mode uses AI to automatically detect the game type and optimise settings for hassle free gaming[13] while AMD FreeSync Premium Pro keeps the GPU and display synced to reduce choppiness, screen-lag, and image tears.

Samsung’s range of 2022, 2023 and 2024 OLED and Neo QLED TVs are equipped with Xbox Game Pass and Gaming Hub[14] – a centralised place to discover and access games from one screen without the need for additional consoles.

For smartphone gamers who like to compete, stream, watch and connect any time, almost anywhere:

• Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra with Snapdragon® 8 Gen 3 Mobile Platform for Galaxy enables faster processing to give gamers the power they need for all the gameplay they want. The Galaxy S24 Ultra can also manifest graphic effects in real time with ray tracing for hyper-realistic shadows and reflections. The Galaxy S24 Ultra also includes an optimal thermal control system with a 1.9 times larger vapour chamber[15], improving device surface temperature while maximising performance. A long-lasting battery enables up to 30 hours of video and streaming for uninterrupted play.
• Galaxy Z Fold6 features a massive 7.6-inch full rectangle display featuring Vision Booster’s powerful brightness and clarity even in broad daylight[16]. In addition to featuring Vulkan API and the newest AP, the Galaxy Z Fold6’s 3 Step Vision Booster also adjusts colour according to illuminance. Support for Ray Tracing brings more advanced graphics to mobile gaming experiences. Galaxy Z Fold6 hits a peak brightness of 2600 nits while its Vapour Chamber area has expanded from previous Fold models to help support extended periods of gameplay.

Samsung understands that picture is only half the story, and supports gamers with soundbars that provide cinematic surround sound, including the Q990D soundbar. This wireless soundbar features True Dolby ATMOS, DTS:X and 11.1.4ch of sound, while syncing with your compatible Samsung TV via Q-Symphony[17] bringing game audio to every inch of your room. Galaxy Buds Pro3 are equipped with a new 11mm speaker and 1.5x amp-enhanced diaphragm delivering a rich dynamic sound, while active noise cancelling features help block out distractions to help keep gamers laser focused[18].

Gaming experiences are elevated with Samsung’s market leading storage technology. Samsung’s range of SSDs includes the 990 PRO series and 990 EVO which are optimised for hard core PC enthusiasts. The 990 PRO with Heatsink provides the ultimate upgrade for console gamers, enabling Australians to explore high-graphic games with quick loads and no overheating while expanding the capacity of devices. Samsung memory solutions offer gamers searing speeds and smooth action for a critical edge while more storage capacity handles a growing game library with ease.

Accumulative sales of Samsung’s Smart Monitor series have surpassed one million devices globally.  On the back of this trend in popularity, Samsung has enhanced its lineup of premium Smart Monitors which captures 11 models, including the M8, M7 and M5 in various screen sizes and colours.

Samsung’s most recent Smart Monitor addition, the M8, has received global recognition for its iconic slim and clean design, so the era of dull and lifeless desks, is officially over.  As people spend more time at home, Samsung has answered the need for home office personalisation and customisation with the ability to switch off once work is done and become a Smart TV for entertainment.

The Smart Monitor M8 handles all your work-related tasks without needing a separate PC or laptop, allowing you to create a neat and clean ‘deskterior’. The Smart Monitor M8 allows you to search the Internet, check email and access Microsoft 365¹ simply by connecting to Wi-Fi. Conveniently, you can continue your work by logging into your account and uploading files directly to the cloud. The most notable advantage of the Smart Monitor M8 is that you can access your work desktop remotely and remain as agile and productive as you were in the office. It also comes equipped with a SlimFit camera with tilt functionality to create the perfect angle while using different video call apps like Google Duo, which can be accessed directly through the monitor.

For those not content with just a beautifully designed, highly specked, traditional monitor, the Smart Monitor M8 also allows its user to switch over to a Smart TV experience, in 4K UHD Resolution with HDR10+. Complete with remote control and built-in speakers, M8 owners can enjoy a variety of streaming services², including Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+ and Apple TV via Wi-Fi without having to connect to a PC or TV.

The Smart Monitor M8 has an IoT hub called SmartThings Hub that allows users to wirelessly connect all their IoT devices. The SmartThings app makes it easy to track IoT devices throughout the home with the app’s intuitive dashboard, which highlights all the information provided by other devices connected to the M8, including light switches and plugs³.

Samsung’s Senior Director of Display, and Brand Memory, Phil Gaut says “Samsung’s excited to showcase the new Smart Monitor M8 at Semi Permanent. With flexible work and hybrid lifestyles leading our everyday, more of us are looking for ways to get the most of our spaces within the home and we look forward to interacting with attendees to inspire how they can best work from home.

We are designing rooms to be more functional for our needs and this has made way for new innovative technology that can also fit the brief. What makes Samsung’s Smart Monitor M8 so special is that it can seamlessly switch from a monitor to smart TV, in seconds! From streaming your favourite content to hosting a video call, it’s clear this monitor is more than meets the eye.”

“In a new ultra-slim flat design in a warm white colour, dedicated wireless camera and built-in video communication apps Samsung’s Smart Monitor offers all the features for clean and modern desk set-up. Featuring HDR10+, the latest 4K processor, 400 nit brightness and 99 per cent RGB it offers a premium viewing experience, and with access to popular streaming services such as Netflix and YouTube, it’s the ideal companion for work and play.” Concludes Gaut.

Simply connect your smartphone to the Smart Monitor by using Tap View or Screen Mirroring.

Samsung DeX also enables multitasking and transforms your smartphone into a touchpad. Using two screens at once, you can take an online drawing class or watch videos of your favourite music group on a larger display while still using your compatible phone as a phone.

The Smart Monitor series also boasts Apple AirPlay2 integration, which allows users to easily enjoy movies, music and photos saved on their smartphones or laptops on the big screen.

It’s the seamless integration of the Smart Monitor M8 that enhances hybrid lifestyles, that naturally connects with the Semi Permanent festival and its audience. New York-based Scottish designer, Jonathan Saunders, known for his unique use of colour, pattern and modernist design, epitomises this new way of life following his career path and pivotal approach to his passions.

“Semi Permanent is all about connecting and inspiring the creative community with best-in-class leaders in the field, and so it makes complete sense for the festival to partner with Samsung to launch the Smart Monitor M8.  The way in which we all work, watch and live has evolved dramatically over the past twok years, and with that, so too have our technology needs.  The Smart Monitor M8 is a fantastic piece of superior technology, that delivers by servicing the multiple needs of today’s world and it’s also visually appealing thanks to the modern design,” said Jonathan Saunders.

Jonathan continued: “As a designer, who lives and breathes hybrid living, I see this as a really interesting opportunity and I’m looking forward to collaborating with Samsung, and the team at Semi Permanent, by curating the space to showcase an example of how the Smart Monitor M8 can enhance your home, through a mid-century style from my own creative lens.”

Samsung Electronics showcased its 2021 lineup of MICRO LED, Samsung Neo QLED, lifestyle TVs, monitors, and soundbars at its virtual Unbox & Discover event. As people spend more time at home, Samsung’s latest innovations let consumers get the most from their screens—allowing them to work efficiently, communicate effectively, and explore their personal passions.

“At Samsung, we are proud to constantly innovate to improve consumers’ everyday lives. Over the past year, technologies that were once ‘nice to have’ became a need, as our homes became offices, schools, gyms, and more,” said James Fishler, Senior Vice President, Home Entertainment Division, Samsung Electronics America. “The role of the TV in our lives has grown—and in 2021, Samsung continues to redefine the role of TV around the needs and passions of consumers.”

For decades, TVs were seen simply as a way to watch movies and shows; now, TVs are serving as conference rooms and fitness hubs. By taking advantage of many features for the first time this past year, people are re-examining the role that their TV plays in their lives.

Beyond Samsung’s innovative approach to new features, our leadership in picture performance has made Samsung the number one global TV manufacturer for 15 consecutive years. In 2021, Samsung continues to break new ground to offer consumers extraordinary viewing experiences.

MICRO LED Comes Home

With superb brightness, deep blacks, and breathtaking image quality, MICRO LED technology offers a groundbreaking viewing experience that lasts. Its inorganic LEDs help prevent burn-in and ensure the screen stays vibrant over its lifetime.

In 2018, Samsung introduced MICRO LED in the form of “The Wall”—a configurable system of modules that can reach an astounding 292 inches for an experience like no other. With its inherent flexibility, “The Wall” requires professional installation in the home or office.

In 2021, Samsung brings all the power of MICRO LED technology in the form factor of a traditional TV experience. Now, consumers can take home the cinematic experience in a beautiful edge-to-edge screen design, with no need for professional assembly and installation. MICRO LED is available in 110’’ and 99’’ sizes globally beginning at the end of March; an 88’’ size is launching this fall; and a 76’’ is on the future roadmap.

MICRO LED can become 4 screens in one. With 4Vue (Quad View), consumers can watch up to four sources of content simultaneously. Keep up with multiple sports at once, or stream a walkthrough while playing a video game. MICRO LED brings true-to-life picture quality at an enormous scale—out of the box.

Samsung Neo QLED Fits Any Home and Every Passion

As people turn to TVs as an outlet for their passions, Samsung developed Samsung Neo QLED to enhance the viewing experience, no matter what you are watching. The Samsung Neo QLED viewing experience is defined by our Neo Quantum Processor, and new Quantum Mini LEDs. At just 1/40^th the size of conventional LEDs, Quantum Mini LEDs allow for ultra-fine light control. With deep blacks, bright lights, and upscaling technology smarter than any Samsung TV has ever offered, Samsung Neo QLED delivers an ultra-realistic picture—whether you are watching a football game, or playing one on your gaming console.

Samsung Neo QLED also offers features that level up gaming. Samsung is proud to be the Official TV Partner of Xbox Series X in the United States and Canada. With Xbox and Samsung renewing their multi-year agreement this year, the two companies will continue working together to offer an unbeatable gaming experience. Samsung Neo QLED and QLED offer cutting-edge capabilities that make them a phenomenal companion to next-gen gaming with Xbox Series X. In addition, Samsung Neo QLED and QLED let you see virtually every detail with incredible 4k clarity, a silky-smooth 120 frames per second, and a low 5.8ms response time.

In order to further deliver optimized gaming performance to the 2021 Samsung Neo QLED and QLED line, Samsung has also partnered with AMD to develop the first TV with Freesync Premium Pro support for both PC and console games to deliver a truly exceptional HDR gaming experience. Additionally, Samsung’s new Game Bar helps players quickly monitor critical aspects of play. You can use it to access Samsung’s Super Ultrawide Gameview, which brings ultra-wide aspect ratios—traditionally only available on gaming monitors—to the TV.

For those with a passion for fitness, Samsung Neo QLED brings athletic training and healthy living to the home. Last year, when people weren’t able to go to the gym, many sought ways to stay fit at home. Samsung Health, a comprehensive fitness and mindfulness platform launched in the spring of 2020, met this need. Samsung Health helped us stay fit with partner apps for every style of fitness and health, along with seamless connectivity to mobile devices and wearables.

In 2021, Samsung Health adds the benefit of a Smart Trainer. With an optional camera sold separately, the Smart Trainer utilizes AI to analyze your posture and provide real-time feedback to improve your form as you follow instructional videos.

In 2021, Samsung Neo QLED’s 8K models (QN800A and QN900A) will be available in 65’’, 75’’, and 85’’ sizes, while the 4K models (QN90A and QN85A) will reflect an even wider selection, starting at 50’’.

TV Technology That Reflects Your Style Indoors or Outdoors

Consumers today expect experiences tailored to their needs, personal tastes, and style. The Lifestyle TV category offers screens designed for every consumer and every space—in and outside the home.

The Frame transforms the TV into a work of art that can be personalized to fit your aesthetic and decor. With new partnerships in the Art Store,¹ like NAVA Contemporary and Etsy, The Frame features more original artwork to match individual tastes. It also includes AI-based auto-curation technology that recommends artwork based on your selections. Curate your own personal art collection with a growing library of over 1,400 pieces of art from world-renowned institutions. The Frame also features increased photo storage space from 500 megabytes in 2020 to 6 gigabytes in 2021, so you can store up to 1,200 photos (all) in UHD quality. From beloved classics to stunning photography, the Art Store gives you access to a variety of content to personalize your space.

In 2021, there are new ways to customize the Frame itself—from new mounting options like the Slim Fit Wall Mount to five bezel options and more from third party providers. Additionally, we have made the 2021 Frame slimmer than ever: just 24.9 millimeters thick, about the same depth as an actual picture frame. It’s just as appealing off as when it’s on.

Samsung is also offering a new way to display the 2021 Frame, with My Shelf, a new accessory releasing globally later this year that lets you create a tailored wall with personal touches to complement your screen and décor. My Shelf can be attached to the 55 inch, 65 inch, and 75 inch Frame sizes, and will be available in four different colors: beige, white, brown, and black.

For those who miss the movie theater experience, The Premiere, the industry’s first triple laser projector with 4K resolution, represents the next stage in home cinema—all in a compact package. Traditional beam projectors can be clunky and difficult to set up—and even if they offer a big screen, the resolution is sometimes far below an ordinary TV. The Premiere’s minimalist design, with rounded edges and a fabric finish, fits neatly into any home. To help consumers use the Premiere anywhere in their home, we are going to be offering rollable screens optimized for the Premiere later this year on Samsung.com. Just position the Premiere around 5 inches or further from a monotone wall or ALR screen, and break out the popcorn.

In 2020, Samsung took its industry-leading picture performance from inside the home to the yard—just as consumers were looking to get outdoors. With The Terrace, our first outdoor TV, consumers can enjoy the picture quality, audio performance, and smart features they expect from Samsung outside. And they can do so worry-free; The Terrace is weather-resistant, with an IP55 rating to protect against water and dust. It is also simple to install, and easy to connect to cable service and a Wi-Fi network. The Terrace is available in 55”, 65”, and a new 75” Full Sun model² is coming in time for summer.

Screens Suited for Every Need – From Productivity to Play

In 2020, the relevance of the monitor at home changed dramatically. For many, this meant additional screens for multiple needs. Suddenly, a screen that was used to shop online or surf social media became critical to daily life, as consumers used it to make the most of work, school, and play.

To fulfill this demand, the Smart Monitor is Samsung’s first “do-it-all” monitor—uniting the best of monitor and TV. Smart Monitor is compatible with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Wireless DeX, and Apple AirPlay 2, letting consumers work from anywhere without needing to connect to a PC. With AirPlay 2, customers can stream, control, and share their favorite content directly from their iPhone, iPad, or Mac to their monitor. When you need to relax, you can enjoy your favorite shows by turning on the Smart TV platform and accessing your preferred streaming apps. Smart Monitor helps consumers stay productive when they need to be—and entertained when they need a break.

In 2020, the Odyssey G9 gaming monitor generated a lot of buzz—this year, Samsung is leveling up the experience with a Quantum MiniLED display and premium gaming features.

Sound That Matches the Visual

While Samsung TVs offer incredible sound from the tiniest of speakers, nothing rounds out the home theater experience like the addition of a Samsung soundbar. The 2021 Q Series lineup includes exclusive Q-Symphony tech, syncing audio from the Samsung TV to deliver enhanced 3-dimensional sound. The soundbar even measures its environment to project audio precisely where it needs to be.

For a full, deep and rich immersive experience, the Q950A boasts the industry’s first 11.1.4 channel sound bringing you right into the center of the action. Its new Bass Boost feature allows users to add “more boom” with a simple click. For those who play music from their mobile devices, Tap Sound makes it as simple as tapping a device to the soundbar. And the Q950A works with multiple voice assistants, including Amazon Alexa and Bixby—making it easy to take full control of the listening experience.

In 2021, Samsung complements your passions, adjusts to your tastes, and delivers performance that enhances all experiences. From the pinnacle of luxurious performance in MICRO LED, to the aesthetic appeal of The Frame, Samsung redefines the role of the TV in your home—at a time when the TV is more relevant than ever.
