<p>Samsung Electronics today announced that its 2025 OLED TV lineup will feature NVIDIA G-SYNC compatibility, delivering ultra-smooth gameplay, low latency, and enhanced responsiveness to meet the needs of gaming enthusiasts worldwide.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With <strong>NVIDIA G-SYNC</strong> compatibility, Samsung’s 2025 OLED TVs synchronize the TV’s refresh rate with the GPU’s frame rate, reducing screen tearing and stuttering for a seamless and immersive gaming experience.<a href="#_edn1" name="_ednref1"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[1]</sup></span></span></a> Paired with Samsung’s <strong>Motion Xcelerator</strong> technology, which supports refresh rates up to 165Hz, gamers can enjoy exceptionally fluid visuals and sharp clarity during fast-paced action scenes.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“With the addition of NVIDIA G-SYNC compatibility and our most advanced gaming features yet, Samsung’s 2025 OLED TVs deliver elite-level performance for even the most competitive players,” said Kevin Lee, Executive Vice President of the Visual Display Customer Experience Team at Samsung Electronics. “By building on our leadership in display innovation and integrating real-time AI enhancements, we’re redefining what gamers can expect from a TV—on and off the battlefield.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The new lineup also supports <strong>AMD FreeSync Premium Pro</strong>, ensuring broad compatibility and adaptive sync performance across a range of GPUs. Additional core gaming features include <strong>Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) </strong>to minimise input lag and deliver instant response, and <strong>Samsung Gaming Hub</strong>, which provides instant access to console and cloud-based gaming platforms, including <strong>Xbox</strong> and <strong>NVIDIA GeForce NOW</strong>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>To further elevate gameplay, the 2025 OLED TVs introduce <strong>AI Auto Game Mode</strong>, which intelligently analyses game genres and scene content in real time to automatically optimise picture and sound settings—eliminating the need for manual adjustments. Gamers can also take advantage of the <strong>Game Bar</strong>, a pop-up interface that allows quick access to key settings without exiting the game.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>While engineered for elite gaming, Samsung’s OLED TVs also deliver a premium cinematic and connected home experience as well. Features such as <strong>AI Upscaling</strong>, <strong>Glare Free</strong> screen technology, and <strong>SmartThings</strong> integration ensure immersive visuals and effortless control in any environment.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The NVIDIA G-SYNC compatibility feature will be available on Samsung’s flagship S95F model and will subsequently roll out to additional models in the 2025 OLED lineup.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>For more information on Samsung OLED TVs, please visit <a href="http://www.samsung.com">www.samsung.com</a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="#_ednref1" name="_edn1"><span>[1]</span></a>NVIDIA G-SYNC compatibility requires connection to a compatible NVIDIA graphics card and may require enabling VRR settings in both the TV and GPU driver settings. Performance may vary depending on system configuration.</span></em></p>

<p><strong>LONDON U.K.- 05 September</strong>&#8211; <strong>Samsung Electronics</strong> today announced the launch of its latest innovations in home entertainment, The Premiere 9 and The Premiere 7. These ultra-short throw projectors, designed to deliver an unparalleled viewing experience, transform any living space into a premium home cinema with stunning 4K resolution, immersive audio and other advanced features.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“The Premiere lineup is set to redefine the premium home cinema experience by combining our advanced laser technology with cutting-edge, user-friendly features that offer stunning picture quality and immersive sound,” said Cheolgi Kim, Executive Vice President of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “As we continue to innovate, we envision a future where our products transform everyday living spaces into immersive entertainment hubs, setting new standards for home entertainment.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Unmatched Picture and Sound Quality</strong></h3>
<p>Samsung’s newest entries in The Premiere lineup meet the growing demand for high-quality entertainment solutions, using cutting-edge laser technology to bring the cinema experience directly to homes. The Premiere 9 features <strong>triple laser technology</strong> for enhanced colour accuracy and brightness, while both models offer ultra-short throw capabilities and vibrant 4K resolution on screens up to 130 inches.<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[1]</sup></span></span></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Premiere’s vibrant 4K resolution and exceptional colour accuracy bring every scene to life. The Premiere 9 and The Premiere 7 projectors provide colour gamut coverage of 154% and 100% of the DCI-P3 standard<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[2]</sup></span></span></a> respectively, while both models support <strong>HDR10+</strong>, ensuring clear and vivid images — even in bright environments. With a maximum brightness of 3,450 ISO lumens<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[3]</sup></span></span></a> for The Premiere 9 and 2,500 ISO lumens for The Premiere 7, these projectors both deliver sharp and dynamic visuals.<a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[4]</sup></span></span></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>To further enhance picture quality, The Premiere projectors are equipped with innovative AI picture enhancements, including <strong>AI Upscaling</strong> and <strong>Vision Booster</strong>. AI Upscaling ensures that content is displayed in stunning 4K resolution, regardless of its original quality<a href="#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[5]</sup></span></span></a>, while Vision Booster automatically adjusts brightness and contrast in various lighting conditions for optimal picture quality.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The built-in speakers with Dolby Atmos technology in both models provide powerful and immersive audio, creating a true home theatre experience without the need for additional sound equipment. The Premiere 9 features 40W 2.2.2 channel up-firing speakers, while The Premiere 7 includes 30W 2.2ch speakers for an expansive dome of sound.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>LONDON, UK – 30 August 2023 – </strong>Over half of Brits (71%) are planning to watch the hotly anticipated rugby tournament from the sofa at home this September.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>But when it comes to the big game, new research from Samsung has revealed that 44% of the nation are confused about the new rugby laws that will be introduced. And with over a quarter (27%) of the UK being self-professed sofa refs, there is more of a need than ever this year to understand the updates.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Which is why Former England rugby international and broadcaster Ugo Monye has teamed up with Samsung – for the recently launched <a href="https://www.samsung.com/uk/tvs/qled-tv/q80c-98-inch-qled-4k-smart-tv-qe98q80catxxu/">98” Q80C TV</a> – to equip the nation to see clearly, without the need to ‘try’.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The presenter and pundit said: <em>“Millions of people are excited about September’s line-up. And while the new laws are going to shake up the game – getting your head around the regulations is less exciting. But with the help of Samsung’s big TV’s, viewers can supersize their experience and feel like they are in the best seats in the stadium, ready from the comfort of their home for knock-out match analysis. Game on.”</em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Dan Harvie, Vice-President TV/AV Division, Samsung Electronics UK &amp; Ireland added:<strong> “</strong><em>Ultra-large screen TVs are on the rise, as people look to watch more major cultural moments at home with friends and family.  And when it comes to the best way to watch rugby this September – bigger is better &#8211; our large screen TVs bring all the excitement of the stadium experience to consumers right from their homes. In fact, our customers are typically upsizing their TVs by an average of 13 inches, which is why we’re producing televisions with 98-inch screens for the first time ever. With the introduction of the new rugby laws, it’s never been a better time to upsize your screen to enjoy all the action up close in the sharpest definition.” </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-15951" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Ugo-Monye-2-Samsung-Q80C-TV-712x563.jpg" alt="" width="712" height="563" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Ugo-Monye-2-Samsung-Q80C-TV-712x563.jpg 712w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Ugo-Monye-2-Samsung-Q80C-TV-768x608.jpg 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Ugo-Monye-2-Samsung-Q80C-TV-1024x810.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 712px) 100vw, 712px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Ugo shares his top tips on the key laws to look out for over the next few weeks:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Shot Clock:</strong> The main law change that rugby fans will notice is the shot clock. Designed to speed up play on the field and stop time-wasting, players have 90 seconds to take a conversion, 60 seconds for a penalty kick. Scrums and lineouts have a time limit of 30 seconds whilst the ball must be released within 5 seconds for rucks.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Bunker:</strong> Another major introduction is the Bunker. Recently trialled at the Summer Nations Series, the match referee will be able to consult the Foul Play Review Official stationed in the ‘Bunker’ if they are unable to determine if a possible incident of foul play isn’t clear or obvious after two big screen replays.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>TMO innovations</strong> – Also known as Television Match Official, the TMO is an individual who watches the match action on a TV screen away from the pitch and feeds information to the referee via an earpiece. For this year, TMOs can only interrupt play to investigate serious or dangerous play that the officials have missed.</li>
</ul>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>London, UK &#8211; 11 February 2019</strong> – Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. will transform the global digital signage market by launching the first signage products featuring the unmatched picture quality of QLED 8K. The new visual display quality is expected to drastically impact the commercial digital signage industry, unlocking new and exciting opportunities.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“By introducing 8K in display signage, businesses can deliver impeccable picture quality to their audiences in a way that was previously not possible,” said Seog-gi Kim, Executive Vice President of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “The 82” QLED 8K Signage is just one of the many industry-leading products we are excited to showcase at ISE 2019. We look forward to introducing the global AV industry to the commercial applications of 8K.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><u>QLED 8K Signage: Market’s highest resolution with AI upscaling</u></strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4576" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/ISE2019-QLED-8K-Signage_1.jpg" alt="" width="3469" height="2545" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/ISE2019-QLED-8K-Signage_1.jpg 3469w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/ISE2019-QLED-8K-Signage_1-556x408.jpg 556w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/ISE2019-QLED-8K-Signage_1-768x563.jpg 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/ISE2019-QLED-8K-Signage_1-1024x751.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 3469px) 100vw, 3469px" /></p>

<p>To compliment the display’s visuals, Samsung works with industry-leading partners, including Harman Luxury Audio and Steinway Lyngdorf for sound solutions, Control4, Crestron and Savant for home automation solutions, and Domotz, Ihiji and OrvC on remote monitoring capabilities for channel partners.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><u>Multi-Link LED HDR: Industry’s first 8K HDR for LED signage</u></strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4574" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/ISE2019-Multi-Link-LED-HDR-with-P1.2-LED-Signage_1.jpg" alt="" width="3859" height="2123" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/ISE2019-Multi-Link-LED-HDR-with-P1.2-LED-Signage_1.jpg 3859w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/ISE2019-Multi-Link-LED-HDR-with-P1.2-LED-Signage_1-742x408.jpg 742w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/ISE2019-Multi-Link-LED-HDR-with-P1.2-LED-Signage_1-768x423.jpg 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/ISE2019-Multi-Link-LED-HDR-with-P1.2-LED-Signage_1-1024x563.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 3859px) 100vw, 3859px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung will introduce Multi-Link LED HDR, the industry’s first 8K LED HDR technology. Using Samsung’s proprietary algorithm and scene analysis, Multi-Link LED HDR turns any content into HDR quality, without special meta-data.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Multi-Link LED HDR for signage delivers unparalleled image quality, featuring Inverse Tone Mapping (ITM) and Dynamic Peaking to maximize brightness and contrast ratio of the full screen by doubling peak luminance. Color Mapping feature also sets an adaptive color gamut for true and vivid LED colors.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Moreover, Multi-Link LED HDR delivers live content with lower latency through an optimal live mode. It helps eliminate cable clutter of other displays with a 100-meter (330 foot) LAN<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[2]</sup></span></span></a> cable.</p>
<p><a href="#_ftnref1" name="_ftn1"><span></span></a><span></span></p>
<p>With the Multi 8K Frame Lock function embedded in Multi-Link LED, integrators do not require a separate device to sync content presented on 8K displays. Multi-Link LED HDR supports all Samsung SMART LED Signage products and is also compatible with The Wall Professional and the IFJ Series.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><u>OMN/OMN-D Series: Bringing semi-outdoor signage to the world</u></strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4579" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/ISE2019-Semi-Outdoor_OMN-Series.jpg" alt="" width="3943" height="2580" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/ISE2019-Semi-Outdoor_OMN-Series.jpg 3943w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/ISE2019-Semi-Outdoor_OMN-Series-624x408.jpg 624w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/ISE2019-Semi-Outdoor_OMN-Series-768x503.jpg 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/ISE2019-Semi-Outdoor_OMN-Series-1024x670.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 3943px) 100vw, 3943px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung will launch its semi-outdoor OMN/OMN-D series globally this year. These in-window displays available in both 46” and 55” sizes give businesses an eye-catching display solution with vivid and crisp content and excellent visibility, even in direct sunlight, with 4,000nit brightness and high contrast ratio of 5,000:1 all packed in a slim and neat design.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The OMN-D series is a double-sided display that allows store-front and indoor display, increasing sales opportunities both in and out of the store simultaneously. With WiFi embedded and using one electric power cord and one LAN cable, the series reduces cord clutter and increases energy efficiency.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Both displays feature dust-proof IP5X-validation and three-step overheat protection for durable performance, along with their own embedded solution, MagicINFO S6 powered by Tizen 4.0 for streamlined content management. The displays are optimized for a wide range of retail businesses from quick-service restaurants to department stores and more.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“We are proud to partner with Samsung in implementing the disruptive technology for semi-outdoor windows OMN. Thanks to over fifteen thousand digital windows installed in its stores and customers’ shops, today Luxottica is one of the largest private digital broadcasters globally. This new solution represents a step forward in the way our group engages with millions of consumers around the world,” said Mr. Carlo Panigati, Indirect Procurement Director at Luxottica, a leader in the design, manufacture, distribution and sale of fashion, luxury and sports eyewear based in Italy. Luxottica will begin using the OMN-series display in its stores across Europe, beginning in Italy.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>LONDON, UK – 30 August, 2018</strong> &#8211; Samsung Electronics has been behind many world firsts when it comes to TV technologies, including the world’s slimmest LED TV, the first FHD 3D TV, the largest UHD TV, and the first curved TV. At IFA 2018 in Berlin, the company unveiled another ground-breaking  innovation with <span><a href="https://news.samsung.com/global/qled-8k-part-1-go-deeper-how-qled-8ks-perfect-realism-brings-content-to-life">QLED 8K</a></span><a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><u><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[1]</sup></span></u></span></a>—the first 8K QLED TV.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>To learn more about how the company’s latest TV mesmerises viewers with virtually perfect picture quality and sound, Samsung Newsroom sat down with members of the team behind it, including product planners Beomkyun Rha and Jonghyuk Kim, and developers Hyunseung Lee and Sunghwan Jang.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3584" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/IFA-QLED-8K-Interview-11-612x408.jpg" alt="" width="612" height="408" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Fostering a Viewing Experience Like Nothing Seen Before</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>QLED 8K boasts a resolution of 7,680 x 4,320 pixels—16 times more than a full HD (FHD) TV, and four times higher than 4K UHD display. As developer Hyunseung Lee explained, the TV’s added resolution allows detailed in images to be expressed more clearly, and creates a sense of reality and depth that keeps you immersed in your content.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“With conventional SD (standard definition) or HD (high definition) displays, when people look closely at depicted images, they can recognise them as a cluster of pixels,” said Lee. “However, with QLED 8K, the level of resolution is so high that pixels become invisible to the human eye, and viewers become incapable of distinguishing depicted objects from the real thing.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3589" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/IFA-QLED-8K-Interview_main_3-623x408.jpg" alt="" width="623" height="408" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/IFA-QLED-8K-Interview_main_3-623x408.jpg 623w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/IFA-QLED-8K-Interview_main_3.jpg 705w" sizes="(max-width: 623px) 100vw, 623px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As fellow developer Sunghwan Jang noted, however, it’s not just QLED 8K’s sky-high resolution that enables it to provide such textured, realistic images. The TV’s exceptional peak brightness—up to 4,000 nits—allows it to illuminate small details with impeccable precision.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Bright content is expressed differently in 8K resolution,” said Jang. “Because 8K features four times more pixels than 4K, images and videos that are brighter and include more detail can be presented more accurately in 8K.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Taking Immersion to Another Level with AI</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung has implement artficial intelligence (AI) technology into the QLED 8K TV.  Adding machine learning to the TV’s repertoire of immersion-enhancing features has made it easy for users to enjoy a wide range of content in crystal clear 8K.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung’s exclusive machine-learning technology automatically upscales lower-resolution videos into 8K picture quality, regardless of the video’s native resolution or method of transmission. The technology is powered by the Quantum Processor 8K, which, according to product planner BeomKyun Rha, was enhanced to better process details and lighting.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3585" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/IFA-QLED-8K-Interview-3-612x408.jpg" alt="" width="612" height="408" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/IFA-QLED-8K-Interview-3-612x408.jpg 612w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/IFA-QLED-8K-Interview-3.jpg 705w" sizes="(max-width: 612px) 100vw, 612px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As Lee explained, the difference that the upscaling technology makes is often as clear as black and white. “When you look at 4K content next to upscaled 8K video, black areas of the screen are where you can see a major difference, even under bright conditions.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The difference is also especially noticeable when viewing scenes with lots of detail and contrast. When viewing a nature documentary, for example, QLED 8K ensures sharp, natural colours that depict both the beaming yellow sun and the emerald waves beneath it with vivid accuracy.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Dealing with Challenges</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>When developing QLED 8K, Samsung’s R&amp;D team was encouraged by the 8K market’s rapid development, but found it difficult to agree upon how to improve on QLED TV’s specifications, given the TV’s status as the cornerstone of the company’s display offerings.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3586" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/IFA-QLED-8K-Interview-4-612x408.jpg" alt="" width="612" height="408" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“The most difficult thing to do was to coordinate the opinions of all the related divisions,” explained Jang. “For example, the goal was to achieve 4,000-nit brightness. Conventional 4K TVs feature an optimum brightness of 1,500 to 2,000-nits, so raising that figure to 4,000 presented a challenge.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Because the market had never seen TVs that satisfied the 4,000-nit specification, the team set out to raise the bar by achieving that value. “We wanted to produce the world’s best TV,” said product planner Jonghyuk Kim. “A TV that would allow content to be depicted as faithfully to creators’ intention as possible.</p>

<p>Delivering on that brightness goal presented a number of difficulties, and the team sought the opinions of a various divisions to help address them. “Once the discussions were done, [we] tirelessly researched every detail, such as how to adjust the amount of light to find an optimal balance of performance and durability,” Kim continued. “We worked very hard to figure out just the right amount. If it was too little, the light would be insufficient, but if it was too much, it would impact the product’s durability.”</p>

<p><strong>Looking Ahead</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Of course, Samsung’s R&amp;D team overcame the challenges it faced during QLED 8K’s development, eventually delivering a TV with the power to redefine standards for visual immersion. The team isn’t resting on its laurels, however, as there’s still more work to be done.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Currently, Samsung’s 8K AI Upscaling technology is capable of enhancing content with better picture quality and sound, but the goal is to enable the AI to analyse users’ viewing conditions and environments in order to provide a more optimised, personalised experience. This will eventually allow the technology to offer any viewer an optimal and immersive viewing experience.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“We want our consumers to be able to immerse themselves in their favourite content, and view photos and videos from their everyday lives at a level of detail that allows them to feel like they’re present in the moment or scene,” said Rha. “We consider it our duty at Samsung to create new, innovative products like QLED 8K, that can help consumers realise such experiences.”</p>
