<p>Samsung <a href="http://www.samsung.com/my/tvs/all-tvs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TV</a>s are renowned for revolutionizing viewing experience and delivering unparalleled brightness, contrast and High Dynamic Range using Quantum Dot technology. This year, Samsung is back with their 2017 line-up of <a href="http://www.samsung.com/my/tvs/qled/overview/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">QLED TV</a>s – once again striving for excellence in picture quality.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Since its spectacular global debut at CES 2017, <a href="http://www.samsung.com/my/tvs/qled-tv/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Samsung’s QLED TV</strong></a> has received many international acclamations that recognise Samsung for its innovative technology in colour volume and ingenious design. To name a few, Samsung’s various QLED TV models received honouree mentions in various categories including Eco-Design, Smart Home, Video Display, Accessibility and Accessory. While these honouree mentions are testaments to the brand’s breakthrough in Quantum Dot technology, it is CES 2017’s ‘Best of Innovation’ Awards that pays homage to the ground-breaking QLED TV.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung’s acclaimed QLED TV did not only bag international awards, it also drew praises and approvals from industry experts and AV enthusiasts from around the world – earning top picks and placing high in editor’s choice awards.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Samsung has made a major breakthrough in the research and development of Quantum Dot tech, and the company’s flagship Q9 Series is the embodiment of that work. The new dots enable a noticeable increase in colour volume, colour saturation, and overall brightness, making the Q9 Series possibly the brightest and most colourful consumer TV ever made.” – <em>CES 2017 Editors&#8217; Choice Award Winners</em> by Reviewed.com.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>‘These sets use proprietary Quantum Dots to display a billion different colours, with better brightness and contrast for one of the best pictures we’ve ever seen. Beyond image quality, what really impressed us about the new Samsung sets is their simple setup and lack of cable clutter.” – <em>Techlicious Top Picks of CES 2017 and CES 2017: The Best Mobile Tech, PCs &amp; Laptops On Display</em> as quoted by ZDNet.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“<a href="http://www.samsung.com/my/tvs/qled-q9f-88inch/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Samsung’s Q9</a>, <a href="http://www.samsung.com/my/tvs/qledtv-q8c/QA75Q8CAMKXXM/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Q8</a>, &amp; <a href="http://www.samsung.com/my/tvs/qledtv-q7f/QA75Q7FAMKXXM/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Q7</a> TVs rely on the company’s Quantum Dot technology, which delivers unrivalled luminance at 2,000 units and 100 percent colour volume according to the enterprise. The QLED Series include a ‘No-gap wall mount’ for vertical surfaces and a regular ‘Gravity Stand’ that resembles a piece of art. An ‘Invisible Connection’ cable will provide all solutions from power to peripheral devices.” – <em>Best TVs from CES 2017</em> as quoted by Stuff, TechAdvisor, Pocket-lint, HDGuru and The USB Port.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Held in high esteem by notable media outlets the world over, Samsung’s award-winning QLED TVs will soon reach Malaysian shores and promise to usher in a new era in home entertainment. Get ready for the #TheNextInnovationInTV.</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-659" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/my/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/seao-qled-tv1.jpg" alt="Samsung Electronics Ushers In a New Era in Home Entertainment with QLED TV Ahead of CES 2017" width="575" height="599" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/my/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/seao-qled-tv1.jpg 575w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/my/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/seao-qled-tv1-288x300.jpg 288w" sizes="(max-width: 575px) 100vw, 575px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung Electronics today announced its new <a href="http://www.samsung.com/my/tvs/qled/overview/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">QLED TV</a> series &#8211; Q9, Q8, and Q7 &#8211; during the company’s 2017 product unveiling, held at the Keep Memory Alive Event Center in Las Vegas.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“2017 will mark a major paradigm shift in the visual display industry, ushering in the era of QLED,” said HyunSuk Kim, President of the Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “With the advent of QLED TV, we provide the most true-to-life picture on screen. We have been successful in solving for past inconsistencies in the viewing experience and consumer pain points while redefining the fundamental value of TV.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><br />
Samsung’s Best Picture Quality &#8211; Ever</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With picture quality remaining a top priority for consumers around the world &#8211; especially as the average TV continues to increase in size, Samsung’s 2017 QLED TVs represent yet another leap forward.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The new lineup offers dramatically improved color performance, displaying DCI-P3 color space accurately and – in another world first for Samsung, QLED TVs are capable of reproducing 100 percent color volume. This means they can express all colors at any level of brightness – with even the subtlest differences visible at the QLED’s peak luminance &#8211; between 1,500 and 2,000 nits.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Color volume presents color that can be expressed at different levels of brightness. For example, a leaf can be perceived as different colors from yellowish green to turquoise, depending on brightness of the light. <a href="http://www.samsung.com/my/tvs/qled-tv/">Samsung QLED</a> TV display can capture even subtle differences in color pertaining to brightness. This kind of color detail cannot be easily depicted in the traditional 2D color space models.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This breakthrough is a result of Samsung’s adoption of a new metal Quantum Dot material – making it possible for the <a href="http://www.samsung.com/my/tvs/">TV</a> to express a significantly improved range of color with much greater detail compared to conventional TVs.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The new Quantum dots allow Samsung QLED TV to express deep blacks and rich detail regardless of how light or dark the scene is, or whether the content is being played in a brightly lit or darkened room. Furthermore, Samsung QLED TV can generate peak luminance as high as 1,500 to 2,000 nits, with no impact on its ability to deliver accurate and impeccable color. With its metal alloy Quantum Dot technology, brightness no longer has to be compromised to boost color performance, which is also maintained regardless of how wide the viewing angle may be.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-661" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/my/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Q-Studio-Stand.jpg" alt="Samsung Electronics Ushers In a New Era in Home Entertainment with QLED TV Ahead of CES 2017" width="1440" height="960" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/my/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Q-Studio-Stand.jpg 1440w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/my/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Q-Studio-Stand-300x200.jpg 300w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/my/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Q-Studio-Stand-768x512.jpg 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/my/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Q-Studio-Stand-1024x683.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Committed to Solving Consumer Pain Points</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung also used today’s product unveiling to highlight new design features which resolve some of the most significant TV viewer pain points.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“With the QLED TV, we’ve solved problems that everyone —and every home—has experienced; cable clutter, thick wall mounts and a slew of devices sitting right under the TV,” said Dave Das, Senior Vice President of Consumer Electronics Marketing for Samsung Electronics America. “With our 2017 lineup, the focus remains where it should be—the content on the screen —not everything surrounding it.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The improvements to design and usability in the QLED TV series include a single, transparent ‘Invisible Connection’ cable, through which all of the peripheral devices can be gathered and connected to the TV. This is in addition to the ‘No-gap wall-mount’, which makes it quick and easy to affix the TV flush against the wall. Or, for those who prefer not to mount the TV, Samsung is offering two new stands designed to elevate and showcase the QLED TVs as beautiful home accessories all by themselves. Consumers can choose either the ‘Studio Stand’, which resembles an easel with a painting, or the sleek ‘Gravity Stand’, which when attached to the TV, resembles a contemporary sculpture.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-664" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/my/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Q-Gravity-Stand.jpg" alt="Samsung Electronics Ushers In a New Era in Home Entertainment with QLED TV Ahead of CES 2017" width="1440" height="960" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/my/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Q-Gravity-Stand.jpg 1440w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/my/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Q-Gravity-Stand-300x200.jpg 300w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/my/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Q-Gravity-Stand-768x512.jpg 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/my/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Q-Gravity-Stand-1024x683.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Samsung’s Smartest TV ever</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In 2017, Samsung is focused on the continued evolution of its much lauded Smart TV offering, giving people the simple, unified user experience they want for all their entertainment content &#8211; wherever and whenever they want it. For example, with the Samsung Smart Remote, consumers can control most connected TV devices from a single source, with one device.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This year, the ‘Smart Hub’ interface has been extended to smartphones through Samsung’s new and improved ‘Smart View’ app, which now provides a comprehensive overview of all available content on the app’s home screen. Thus, consumers can use their mobile device to select and start their favorite live TV programs and video-on-demand services &#8211; on their TV, through the ‘Smart View’ mobile app. Consumers can also choose to receive alerts on their mobile devices about their favorite content, regarding for example, show times and availability.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung also introduced two new <a href="http://www.samsung.com/my/tvs/all-tvs/">Smart TV</a> services, including ‘Sports’, which shows a customizable summary of a customer’s favorite sports team and its recent and upcoming games, and ‘Music’, which can identify songs as they are being played live on a TV show, among many other features.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>More than 200 journalists from around the world participated in Samsung’s product unveiling event to experience Samsung QLED TV’s picture quality and usability first-hand. Consumers attending CES 2017 will be able to view all these exciting innovations, and much more, on the show floor from the 5th of January onwards.</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-681" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/my/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/flexwash-flexdry-2.jpg" alt="Samsung Unveils Laundry Game-Changer at CES 2017 with New Four-in-One Laundry System" width="705" height="450" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/my/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/flexwash-flexdry-2.jpg 705w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/my/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/flexwash-flexdry-2-300x191.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 705px) 100vw, 705px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung Electronics today introduces its revolutionary FlexWash<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> + FlexDry<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> laundry system, set to be unveiled at CES 2017. This versatile laundry pair was designed to offer two <a href="http://www.samsung.com/my/washing-machines/washer/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">washers</a> and two <a href="http://www.samsung.com/my/washing-machines/dryer/">dryers</a> in one system, giving consumers more choices to do laundry the way they want, in all types of situations. Incorporating a range of core Samsung laundry technologies, FlexWash<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> + FlexDry<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> provides the most advanced, flexible laundry solution to meet the needs of busy modern families.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Within the two machines, each distinct laundry compartment includes unique features to tackle wash day needs. The FlexWash<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> front-loader is equipped with five cubic feet of capacity — the largest in its class1 — to handle normal or bulky loads. Meanwhile, the FlexWash<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> top-loader adds another cubic foot of capacity and is built to wash smaller loads separately from the main load. To power through big laundry loads, users can operate both washers at the same time with different settings.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>To dry fabrics, FlexDry<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> has the ability to tackle large laundry loads with the added flexibility to dry a few delicate items at the same time. Users can lay clothes flat in the unique Delicate Rack zone at the top of the dryer and gently dry delicates with a controlled, heated air flow. The special zone adjusts the heat between room temperature and 95 degrees Fahrenheit automatically depending on the type of fabric being dried. The main dryer compartment also uses Samsung’s MultiSteam technology to freshen and disinfect clothes while reducing odors and wrinkles.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Everyone has different clothes and different ways of caring for them,” said Seo Byung-Sam, President of Home Appliances at Samsung Electronics. “Finally, FlexWash<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> + FlexDry<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> is a laundry system that fits any need, all at once. We are striving to give consumers the freedom and flexibility to adjust the laundry process for the way they live, not the other way around.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>According to Samsung research on U.S. consumer laundry habits, 87% of U.S. consumers surveyed sort their laundry into lights and darks, different fabric types, and degrees of dirtiness, while 70% of consumers surveyed run two or more back-to-back washes. The new FlexWash<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> + FlexDry<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> laundry approach was developed to transform the marketplace as consumers discover a more efficient, more effective way to sort on the fly and tackle the laundry process. The ability to operate all four compartments separately and simultaneously addresses strong consumer demand to wash clothes faster while still keeping items separate.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-682" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/my/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/flexwash-flexdry-1.jpg" alt="Samsung Unveils Laundry Game-Changer at CES 2017 with New Four-in-One Laundry System" width="705" height="450" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/my/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/flexwash-flexdry-1.jpg 705w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/my/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/flexwash-flexdry-1-300x191.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 705px) 100vw, 705px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The new FlexWash<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> washer uses three core Samsung laundry technologies: SuperSpeedTM, PowerFoamTM, and Vibration Reduction Technology (VRT). SuperSpeed<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> shortens wash cycles to as little as 30 minutes from the usual 60 minutes, while PowerFoam<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> technology uses an innovative mixture of water, air and detergent to deep clean event the bulkiest items with the power of foam. VRT is engineered to minimize vibration and keep the noise level down.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>For ease of use, the FlexWash<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> washer does not require two separate water lines, eliminating the need to hire a professional to install. Additionally, easy-to-reach top-load areas on each washer and dryer unit allow consumers to more comfortably load or unload laundry. And transparent glass on the top-load compartments makes it simple to check on laundry cycles at a glance.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Finally, FlexWash<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> + FlexDry<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> are IoT-enabled, backed by smart features that will allow users to control the FlexWash<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> + FlexDry<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> machines with their smartphones2, using the Samsung Smart Home app. They will be able to start, stop, and monitor every cycle for both machines.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>FlexWash<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> + FlexDry<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> are both CES Innovation Award honorees in 2017, continuing a string of wins for innovations including activewashTM in 2015 and AddWashTM in 2016.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> <em>¹ Based on product dimensions.<br />

									<description><![CDATA[Samsung Electronics today announced that 20 models in its newest refrigeration line have earned the coveted ENERGY STAR Emerging Technology Award from the U.S.]]></description>
																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Samsung Electronics today announced that 20 models in its newest refrigeration line have earned the coveted ENERGY STAR Emerging Technology Award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The EPA’s ENERGY STAR program is the trusted source for energy-efficient product labeling and consumer education. The Emerging Technology Award recognizes products that are at the forefront of energy conservation and climate protection.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>All 20 Samsung <a href="http://www.samsung.com/my/refrigerators/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">refrigerator</a> models, set to be released in 2017, are recognized for the innovative R-600a refrigerant system which meets the EPA’s demanding performance criteria to reduce energy use and lower greenhouse gas emissions. Samsung Electronics is the first manufacturer to receive EPA approval to market full-sized, residential <a href="http://www.samsung.com/my/refrigerators/top-mount-freezer-rt35k5562sl/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Top Mount Freezer</a> and French Door models using this new technology.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The EPA first awarded the ENERGY STAR Emerging Technology Award in 2011, and focuses on a different product category or eco-conscious theme each year. Samsung is a two-time winner – in addition to recognition for 2017 refrigerators, the brand received the award in 2013 for its eco-friendly DV457 clothes dryer.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>The Road to Energy Savings</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung’s new R-600a refrigerant is naturally occurring and climate-friendly, with no ozone depletion potential and very low Global Warming Potential (GWP) rating. R-600a requires less work to be done by the unit’s compressor, which not only reduces energy usage by 6.5% but also makes the refrigerator quieter than previous models.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung developed the technology ahead of planned changes to refrigerant qualifications that EPA looks to influence by 2021. Equipped with the advanced technology, the 2017 award-winning refrigerators met the EPA’s new qualifications of a GWP rating below 15 while producing an energy efficiency gain of 5 percent or higher. Additionally, the R-600a refrigerant has been approved for use in the US market by the EPA’s Significant New Alternative Policy (SNAP) Program.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Samsung strives to meet the highest environmental standards, and we are proud to be honored by the EPA for our innovative and eco-friendly refrigerator product development,” said Byung-Sam Seo, President of Home Appliances at Samsung Electronics. “The R-600a refrigerant is a game-changer in terms of reducing energy usage, and we are proud of the advancements we’ve made to create more environmentally responsible home appliance products.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In addition to being energy efficient, Samsung’s 2017 refrigeration line delivers more choice, flexibility and connectivity for consumers today. New internal features such as enhanced precision cooling, flexible storage options and upgraded interior lighting are matched by updates to exterior details like redesigned handles and premium finishes, as well as seamless designs to fit well in any kitchen.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Kuala Lumpur – December 29, 2016</strong> – Samsung Electronics today announced it will introduce three new <a href="http://www.samsung.com/my/tvs/all-tvs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Smart TV</a> services at CES 2017, to be held January 5 through January 9, 2017 in Las Vegas. The new services – including ‘Sports’, ‘Music’ and ‘TV Plus’ – will offer personalized content to consumers based on their <a href="http://www.samsung.com/my/tvs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TV</a> preferences through Samsung’s Smart Hub platform.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“At Samsung, one of our top priorities is ensuring that we are closely in tune with what consumers want and need from their smart devices and electronics,” said Won Jin Lee, Executive Vice President of the Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “With that in mind, we continue to innovate our Smart TV offering in order to provide the content experiences that our customers have come to know and expect from Samsung.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung’s Smart TV ‘Sports’ service will provide sports fans with information on when their favorite teams are playing, where they can watch it as well as scores – all in one navigation page. Instead of having to flip through dozens of channels to find the big game, all details will be curated by the customized ‘Sports’ user interface.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung plans to further expand the range of content offered through the ‘Sports’ service with additional content partners including NBC Sports, UFC and more.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Samsung ‘Music’ service will allow Smart TV customers to easily search and identify songs on live TV or directly from television programs. ‘Music’ will also make recommendations in the ‘Preview’ section of Smart Hub’s user interface for customers to discover new music and play songs as they please.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Samsung ‘Music’ service currently offers content from eight music app partners including Spotify, iHeartRadio, Napster, Deezer, Sirius XM, Vevo, Melon and Bugs. The service will be available starting in France, Germany, Italy, South Korea, Spain, the United Kingdom and the U.S.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Lastly, ‘TV Plus’ will offer IP-based channels focused on premium content services through a new Smart Electronic Program Guide (EPG) solution. Samsung customers will no longer have to wait for cable services to offer marathon sessions of their favorite TV shows and can watch immediately just by turning on a TV Plus channel.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung first launched ‘TV Plus’ in South East Asia, is now also available in the U.S., and will be available in Europe in April, 2017. Samsung will partner with Fandango and Rakuten to provide premium T-VOD content in the U.S. and Europe, respectively, and with Funke to A-VOD content in Germany.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Kuala Lumpur, 29 December 2016</strong> – At CES 2017, Samsung Electronics will unveil its new <a href="http://www.samsung.com/my/monitors/curved-wqhd-ch711/LC32H711QEEXXM/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CH711</a> Quantum Dot curved <a href="http://www.samsung.com/my/monitors/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">monitor</a>, demonstrating its continued leadership of the entertainment visual display market.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Today’s multimedia consumers, quite rightly, have high expectations and demand a truly cutting edge, totally immersive experience that realizes the full potential of whatever they are playing or watching,” said Seoggi Kim, Senior Vice President of Samsung Electronics’ Visual Display Business. “This year’s line-up of curved Quantum Dot monitors offers brilliant design, richer color and deeper contrast than ever before. We can’t wait to share them with the world at CES 2017 in Las Vegas.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080;">A Colorful, Curved Entertainment Experience</span></h3>
<p>Samsung’s new CH711 Quantum Dot curved monitor is designed with gamers in mind. Available in 27- and 31.5-inch variations, and scheduled for an early 2017 commercial release, the CH711 delivers vivid, visually stunning picture quality, regardless of the content being enjoyed.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Featuring 1,800R curvature and an ultrawide 178-degree viewing angle, the CH711 makes content clearly visible wherever you may be in a room. Its ergonomic design also enables viewers to adjust the monitor’s horizontal and vertical positioning for optimal comfort. When combined with nearly 125 percent sRGB color coverage and 2,560 x 1,440 WQHD resolution, the CH711 sets a new standard for detailed color appearance at any distance.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The CH711’s sleek, sophisticated 360-degree design complements any desktop or décor. Its clean, white chassis features a gorgeous three-sided Boundless design, and neatly hides its power and HDMI cables out of sight inside the stand’s neck.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080;">The Quantum Dot Monitor Evolution</span></h3>
<p>Released commercially in the U.S. in December 2016, Samsung’s pioneering CFG70 and CF791 Quantum Dot curved monitors will also make their debut at CES this week.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Designed specifically for professional and hardcore gamers, the 24- and <a href="http://www.samsung.com/my/monitors/curved-cfg70/LC27FG70FQEXXM/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">27-inch CFG70 curved monitors</a> combine the visual refinement of Samsung’s Quantum Dot picture technology with the comfortable, ultrawide view of its curved monitors to create the ultimate gaming experience. The CFG70 offers a host of gamer-friendly features, such as the ‘Gaming UX’ user interface, as well as advanced calibration options to optimize picture presentation for any of the FPS, RTS, RPG and AOS game genres.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Featuring 1,500R curvature and an ultrawide 21:9 aspect ratio, the <a href="http://www.samsung.com/my/monitors/curved-cf79/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CF791 Quantum Dot curved monitor</a> performs just as well when using for work, delivering unparalleled clarity and fine detail. Using Picture-by-Picture (PBP) technology, customers can load content from any connected HDMI or DP input source and position it anywhere on the screen. A complementary Picture-in-Picture (PIP) function also allows consumers to shrink and place content anywhere on the screen without losing resolution or visual quality. An integrated height-adjustable stand also delivers ergonomic comfort and makes the CF791 ideal for any workstation or office environment.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080;">Game On</span></h3>
<p>To celebrate the launch of its newest monitors, Samsung will offer CES 2017 attendees a first-hand opportunity to enjoy some friendly competition at the company’s interactive gaming zone. Samsung’s booth will include interactive stations where visitors can play several of today’s top video game titles on its CFG70 Quantum Dot curved gaming monitors. There will also be supporting large-format SMART LED signage to livestream the competition – and demonstrate the monitors’ excellent visual presentation to the wider CES audience.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080;">The Displays of the Future</span></h3>
<p>CES attendees will also get a first glimpse of Samsung’s next wave of high-resolution monitors, scheduled for release in early 2017:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The 28-inch UH750 monitor combines Samsung’s gamer-friendly features with an ultrafast 1 m/s response time, Quantum Dot picture display and high-quality UHD resolution, all housed within a slim, narrow-bezel design.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The 23.8 and 27-inch SH850 models deliver WQHD resolution and DP daisy chain connectivity through a flat, three-sided, bezel-less design with a square base and stylish exterior to suit any home or office. The SH850 monitors also feature a height-adjustable stand and pivot, with tilt and swivel capabilities for optimal viewing comfort.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>CH711 will be exhibited at Samsung Electronics’ booth (#15006 in the Central Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center) along with the recently launched CFG70 and CF791 Quantum Dot display monitors.</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Kuala Lumpur — December 28, 2016</strong> — Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced its newest lineup of user-driven home audio visual products, including the H7 Wireless Speaker, a new soundbar and a new UHD Blu-ray player.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With over ten consecutive years of market leadership in home audio and video technology, and with active investments in R&amp;D, Samsung’s new home audio and video product lineup for 2017 features innovative devices that reflect a total paradigm shift for both the company and the industry. In particular, the new lineup centers around sleek, simplistic designs and enhanced integration across multiple devices.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Delivering clear, crisp, immersive sound is very important to Samsung, and we always strive to create new products that further complement the user experience,” said Jurak Choi, Senior Vice President of Samsung Electronics. “This year, we focused on the audiophile who wants a single, simple solution that not only fits their lifestyle, but that simultaneously delivers an unparalleled home audio experience.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><u>Samsung’s Proprietary UHQ 32bit Audio Technology Delivers Ultra-high Quality Sound</u></strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Highlighted across Samsung’s new lineup is UHQ (Ultra High Quality) audio – Samsung’s proprietary technology that enables 32bits of rich, detailed sound from any source that provides 8 to 24bit sound.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>UHQ audio has the ability to upscale audio sources to a 32bit output, for both wired and wireless connections. 32bit sound creates audio which is much closer in quality to the original recording than existing HD audio, delivering rich sound that brings each note to life with incredible clarity.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung has also developed its own audio algorithms to perfect ultra-high quality sound by leveraging the intelligence of existing proprietary technology, and tapping the expertise of its U.S.-based, state-of-the-art audio lab.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung audio has applied ‘Distortion Cancelling’ technology which reduces sound alterations by predicting the movement of internal speaker units in advance, and controlling the units to deliver the perfect sound. This effect works well on a woofer, which tends to output a powerful low-pitched sound with a movement bigger and more unpredictable than other speaker units. The ‘Distortion Cancelling’ algorithm can intelligently predict a woofer’s movement, control it, and play more solid and stable sounds at a low pitch.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung’s new sound profile also includes a ‘Wide-band Tweeter’, which expands and broadens the “sweet spot” in any room, widening the area where optimal sound can be heard. The new profile also includes a ‘Crystal Amplifier’ that removes noise so consumers can enjoy the most accurate and precise sound across the widest range.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><u>H7 Wireless Speaker Delivers UHQ 32bit Audio Technology and Stylish Design</u></strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_922" style="width: 715px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img class="size-full wp-image-922" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/my/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/H7-Wireless-Speaker.jpg" alt="Samsung Set to Unveil the Future of Audio at 2017 CES" width="705" height="436" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/my/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/H7-Wireless-Speaker.jpg 705w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/my/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/H7-Wireless-Speaker-300x186.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 705px) 100vw, 705px" /><p class="wp-caption-text"><strong>Photo 1:</strong> H7 Wireless Speaker</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung has also announced new standalone sound technology that reflects the needs of consumers who enjoy listening to hi-fi audio – an advancement that is already gaining recognition and winning accolades from the industry.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Thanks to its stunning sound quality, premium design and intuitive user experience, Samsung’s new H7 Wireless Speaker – which offers 32bit ultra-high quality sound performance – received a 2017® CES Innovation Award. This achievement further reinforces Samsung’s leadership in the category, and is emblematic of the future-forward products the company continues to develop.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This award-winning UHQ 32bit audio technology, combined with a bass response going down to 35Hz, delivers a wide sound range across the human auditory field – from high to low frequencies.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung’s H7 Wireless Speaker also reflects superior innovation in design. With sleek, contemporary metal finishes that appeal to even the most discerning consumers, a compact size and a retro exterior, the H7 Wireless Speaker allows music to be a centerpiece of any room.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The design of the speaker also features a more intuitive user experience supported by wheel control. By turning the wheel, users can not only adjust the volume but also select their favorite playlist from their choice of streaming music services.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><u>New Soundbar Delivers Incredible Sound with Less Room Clutter</u></strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_923" style="width: 715px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img class="size-full wp-image-923" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/my/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/MS750-Soundbar.jpg" alt="Samsung Set to Unveil the Future of Audio at 2017 CES" width="705" height="360" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/my/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/MS750-Soundbar.jpg 705w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/my/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/MS750-Soundbar-300x153.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 705px) 100vw, 705px" /><p class="wp-caption-text"><strong>Photo 2:</strong> MS750 Soundbar</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The new MS750 <a href="http://www.samsung.com/my/audio-video/soundbar/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Soundbar</a> is Samsung’s first soundbar to embed subwoofer performance directly into the primary unit. This ensures that the bass is equalized and crystal clear, while simultaneously de-cluttering the home. With UHQ 32bit audio, the MS750 delivers powerful home cinema sound on premium TVs, without the need for a separate subwoofer.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Overall, the MS750 Soundbar provides a deeper sense of immersion. This is a result of superior up-firing capabilities and overhead sound that uses vertical tweeters with upmixing technology. When paired with the Samsung Smart Remote Control, the room’s home audio is powered by the same device as the <a href="http://www.samsung.com/my/tvs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TV</a> unit, further simplifying the experience.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The MS750 Soundbar boasts a small but mighty “one body” design that can be mounted onto your TV with one simple connection, no complicated setup, and no extra space needed. This means that the soundbar and TV can be turned on at the same time, simply by connecting the two units with a designated power cable connection, eliminating the need for two separate power cables, and removing clutter around the TV.The wall-mount solution on Samsung’s newest <a href="http://www.samsung.com/my/audio-video/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">home audio systems</a> has also been improved, with an optional, user-friendly I-shaped bracket connecting the TV directly to the soundbar. This approach simplifies the mounting experience entirely; because it requires only one connection to install it to the TV and one hole in the wall.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><u>A UHD Blu-ray Player That Completes the Ultimate Home Entertainment Experience</u></strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_924" style="width: 3010px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img class="size-full wp-image-924" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/my/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/UHD-Blu-ray-Player.jpg" alt="Samsung Set to Unveil the Future of Audio at 2017 CES" width="3000" height="2000" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/my/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/UHD-Blu-ray-Player.jpg 3000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/my/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/UHD-Blu-ray-Player-300x200.jpg 300w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/my/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/UHD-Blu-ray-Player-768x512.jpg 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/my/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/UHD-Blu-ray-Player-1024x683.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 3000px) 100vw, 3000px" /><p class="wp-caption-text"><strong>Photo 3:</strong> M9500 UHD Blu-ray Player</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The ultimate content player comes to life with Samsung’s new M9500 UHD <a href="http://www.samsung.com/my/audio-video/blu-ray-dvd-player/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Blu-ray Player</a>. With Bluetooth® Wireless Streaming Support and Samsung Smart Remote integration across the UHD Ecosystem, this HDR-optimized device creates the optimal UHD viewing experience. And, with the M9500’s new Private Cinema Mode, TV audio can be transferred to personal Bluetooth headphones, adding flexibility for viewing HDR content at any time, despite what else might be going on around you.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In addition, Samsung’s new UHD Blu-ray player automatically sets the TV screen and audio to the optimal level by analyzing the content source being played at the time, such as HDR, Atmos or DTS-X. This means consumers can now seamlessly enjoy the content they want without changing their TV or audio settings.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Further additions to the UHD Blu-ray player in 2017 include improved <a href="http://www.samsung.com/my/mobile/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mobile</a> integration, giving users the flexibility to enjoy their favorite Blu-ray titles on their mobile device. With a 360-degree feature on their mobile device, users can view the 360-degree photos and videos they’ve captured on any TV, right through their UHD Blu-ray player.</p>
