<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>LONDON, United Kingdom – Jan. 7, 2024</strong><strong> – </strong>Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced its latest Neo QLED, QLED, MICRO LED, OLED and Lifestyle display line-ups ahead of <a href="https://www.ces.tech/">CES® 2024</a>. The announcement also served to kick off the AI screen era through the introduction of a next-generation AI processor poised to redefine the perception of smart display capabilities. In addition to bringing improved picture and sound quality, the new line-ups provide users with AI-powered features secured by Samsung Knox, focusing on inspiring and empowering individual lifestyles.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Now that we are living through the hyper-connected era, it’s no longer just about delivering quality visual experiences. Displays should enhance our lives both on and off the screen,” said SW Yong, President and Head of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “Samsung’s AI screens, powered by on-device AI technology, are designed to be the centrepiece of users’ homes, connecting all compatible devices to offer users a more flexible and diverse lifestyle.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Double the AI Performance for Enhanced Neo QLED 8K Picture Quality</strong></h3>
<p><strong><u><img class="aligncenter wp-image-16743 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/CES-2024-Display-Lineup_dl2-e1704723493958.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="550" /></u></strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung’s newest Neo QLED 8K TVs offer the full package, including lifelike picture quality, premium audio technology and a rich array of apps and services<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[1]</sup></span></span></a>. At its core, the 2024 QN900D Neo QLED 8K is Samsung’s latest and most innovative TV processor yet: NQ8 AI Gen3, which has a neural processing unit (NPU) that is twice as fast as that of its predecessor. The amount of neural networks has also increased eightfold from 64 to 512, allowing everything on screen to be displayed in crisp detail.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Neo QLED 8K line-up also brings a suite of picture quality and design enhancing features, including:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>8K AI Upscaling Pro:</strong><a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[2]</sup></span></span></a> Leverages NQ8 AI Gen3 for enhanced 8K upscaling, sharpening low resolution content so that it is displayed in ultra-high resolution.</li>
<li><strong>AI Motion Enhancer Pro: </strong>Solves common issues in viewing ball sports, such as ball distortion, when streaming high-resolution sports matches through this feature<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[3]</sup></span></span></a> powered by NQ8 AI Gen3. The feature automatically detects the sport type and uses deep learning to apply the proper ball detection model.</li>
<li><strong>Real Depth Enhancer Pro:</strong> Adds details to fast-moving scenes using AI to precisely control mini LEDs. By detecting the part of a scene that the human eye would naturally focus on and bringing it to the foreground, images appear more lifelike and three dimensional.</li>
<li><strong>Infinity Air Design:</strong> Complements QN900D Neo QLED 8K’s impeccable picture quality with a screen only 12.9mm in depth<a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[4]</sup></span></span></a>, allowing for an immersive viewing experience that focuses on high resolution and outstanding sound quality. It is also offers a unique mirror effect in which the TV appears to hover in its surroundings.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The performance of the Neo QLED 8K is rounded out by immaculate audio quality, on par with the stunning 8K picture quality on screen.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>2024 Q-Symphony: </strong>Allows users to connect multiple wireless speakers and a soundbar to a TV or projector for perfect audio synchronisation across shows, movies, and playlists.</li>
<li><strong>Active Voice Amplifier Pro:</strong> A proprietary AI dialogue booster that utilises exclusive deep-learning technology to significantly enhance dialogue and voices on screen. It separates voices from mixed audio, enhancing voice input so users can easily follow the conversation on screen at any volume.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>2024 Tizen </strong><strong>OS </strong><strong>Streamlines the Home TV Experience<u><a href="#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[5]</sup></span></span></a></u></strong></h3>
<p>The 2024 Tizen OS brings content front and centre on the 2024 line-up. It offers a personalised content and service experience based on different accounts set up on smart TVs. Now, different members of each household with a Samsung Smart TV can set up a profile for customised recommendations and a more personalised overall experience.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Samsung TV Plus: </strong>The updated user interface (UI) includes a new home screen with an overview of available content, with added categories for faster content discovery. The service will also connect with Samsung accounts to easily access users’ favourite channels and content while offering tailored content suggestions based on viewing history.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Connected</strong><strong>, Inclusive Experiences With the Samsung Ecosystem<u><a href="#_ftn6" name="_ftnref6"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[6]</sup></span></span></a></u></strong></h3>
<p>With Samsung TVs at the centre of the home, users can reap the benefits of the latest innovations and enjoy seamless connectivity between devices in their day-to-day life. In 2024, Samsung will vastly improve its connected experience with Samsung Daily+<a href="#_ftn7" name="_ftnref7"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[7]</sup></span></span></a>, a hub for in-home activity. It provides a wide range of services and features — from personal training to video calls and remote PC solutions — in one single interface. New features include the following:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Workout Tracker</strong><strong>:</strong> This free service<a href="#_ftn8" name="_ftnref8"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[8]</sup></span></span></a> puts real-time exercise data — such as workout duration and heart rates from wearable devices — on top of users’ content on Samsung screens to keep them both entertained and informed while working out at home.</li>
<li><strong>TechnoGym<a href="#_ftn9" name="_ftnref9"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[9]</sup></span></span></a>:</strong> enhances your home workout with high-quality fitness and wellness videos from the world-class instructors at TechnoGym. Discover these curated contents for maximum performance, only on Samsung TV.</li>
<li><strong>F45</strong><strong>: </strong>Users can experience F45’s world-renowned dynamic HIIT workouts, now in your living room through high-intensity workout videos.</li>
<li><strong>FlexIt<a href="#_ftn10" name="_ftnref10"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[10]</sup></span></span></a>:</strong> Live one-on-one sessions with top fitness and wellness professionals.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung’s latest 2024 TVs and screens also come with greater compatibility across various devices within the SmartThings ecosystem, allowing a more integrated connection between TVs and smartphones or wearable devices for a greater level of customization, accessibility and convenience.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Mobile Smart Connect:</strong> All of the new featured apps and services are easily controlled with the SmartThings Mobile Plugin, which transforms the smartphone into a multi-functional remote that offers users greater control over their screens. With a straightforward pop-up interface and a customisable UI, the app provides convenience and enhanced accessibility.</li>
<li><strong>360 Audio: </strong>The audio feature, previously offered on Galaxy devices, has also expanded to Samsung TVs and screens. Now, Samsung Galaxy Buds<a href="#_ftn11" name="_ftnref11"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[11]</sup></span></span></a> seamlessly connect to TVs to deliver spatial audio for movies, shows and even gaming titles, so users can be truly immersed in visual content and gameplay.</li>
<li><strong>Vibrary:</strong> Enjoy your favourite artist’s high-quality images via the big screen of your TV. With Ambient Mode, you can be welcomed every day by your favourite artist. You can also enjoy photos and music from TV and mobile devices through Casting, providing a seamless viewing experience.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The latest TV and screen line-up also boasts enhanced accessibility offerings, allowing more users to enjoy their favourite content than ever before.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Remote for Barrier Free:</strong> An app designed for users with visual, auditory or physical impairments that enables more thoughtful TV control via smartphones. The highly customisable app incorporates UI enhancements such as intuitive button placement, distinct colours and tactile feedback, while also integrating Samsung’s latest accessibility features such as voice guides for easy access right from the smartphone.</li>
<li><strong>Relumino Together Mode<a href="#_ftn13" name="_ftnref13"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[13]</sup></span></span></a>: </strong>Relumino is a feature that enables people with low vision to enjoy their favourite TV shows, movies and games without the need for wearable hardware. With AI technology dynamically outlining the edges of on-screen elements and rebalance colours, the feature enables users with low vision to more clearly see people and objects. Relumino Together Mode provides standard screens and Relumino Mode screens side-by-side, so people with low vision and their families can enjoy TV together.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>MICRO LED: Pushing the Boundaries of Display Technology</strong></h3>
<p>With the new transparent MICRO LED, Samsung is showing the world that there are infinite possibilities for screens<strong>.</strong> The screen, which looks like a piece of transparent glass, boasts an extremely small MICRO LED chip and precision manufacturing process that eliminates seams and light refraction. This allows the transparent MICRO LED to create a clear, unobstructed picture for various use cases in both homes and B2B environments.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Touting a modular design that allows users to personalize the shape, size and ratio of screens to fit any space, MICRO LED is a truly innovative screen technology. Samsung’s years of research and development — stemming from its semiconductor expertise — have led to an extremely effective process, allowing LED chip operation circuits to be directly deposited on the glass and thereby mitigating the loss of brightness that users may experience with conventional displays.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Offering Wider OLED Line-ups to Meet Consumer Preferences</strong></h3>
<p><strong><u><img class="aligncenter wp-image-16744 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/CES-2024-Display-Lineup_dl3-e1704723516240.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="550" /></u></strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung’s 2024 OLED TVs build on the legacy of last year&#8217;s models, with the S95D offering an ultra-large 77-inch canvas for high-detail, a high-frame rate and intensely vibrant picture. The display is 20% brighter than previous models, with deep and rich blacks and AI-enhanced colour accuracy so pure that it’s Pantone Validated<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>New ‘OLED Glare Free’ technology<a href="#_ftn14" name="_ftnref14"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[14]</sup></span></span></a> — specifically designed for 2024 S95 OLED screens — preserves colour accuracy and reduces reflections while maintaining image sharpness to ensure an immersive viewing experience, even in daylight. The OLED-optimised, low-reflection coating overcomes the trade-off between gloss and reflection thanks to a new, specialised hard-coating layer and surface coating pattern.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The S95D’s screen will captivate audiences with advanced, proprietary picture-quality engines that preserve bright whites, deeper blacks and accurate colours. In addition to being Samsung’s brightest OLED screen yet, it also features high refresh rates of up to 144Hz<a href="#_ftn15" name="_ftnref15"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[15]</sup></span></span></a>, so sports fans and gamers can enjoy seamless motion and crystal-clear action on their screens.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung has also introduced the S90D in various sizes, from 48” to 83’’.<a href="#_ftn16" name="_ftnref16"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[16]</sup></span></span></a></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<h3><strong>New Lifestyle Products Deliver Bespoke Solutions </strong><strong>to Enrich Every Lifestyle</strong></h3>
<p>In addition to its award-winning lifestyle line-up that includes The Frame, The Serif and The Terrace, Samsung is reaffirming its commitment to “Screens Everywhere, Screens for All” with the various new products in its latest lifestyle line-up. These new additions provide another level of customisation and personalisation, as seen below:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>The Frame:</strong> Already the best-selling lifestyle screen product, The Frame comes with new enhancements to boost the art experience. Now with over 2,500 artworks from world-renowned museums and galleries in the Art Store<a href="#_ftn17" name="_ftnref17"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[17]</sup></span></span></a>, users can enjoy an Art Store experience that is even better than before. The Frame’s new art streaming feature gives users a taste of the Art Store’s diverse collection by providing them with free hand-selected artworks monthly. Moreover, the 2024 Frame helps reduce energy costs by up to 10% with the variable refresh rate adjustment available in Art Mode<a href="#_ftn18" name="_ftnref18"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[18]</sup></span></span></a>.</li>
<li><strong>The Premiere 8K Projector:</strong> The Premiere 8K is the world’s first projector offering wireless connectivity. Removing the need for cables, this solution allows users to keep their living spaces neat and tidy. The ultra-short throw projector comes packed with smart features — such as picture-off premium home audio, cloud gaming, always-on voice with far-field mic and four multi-view screen splits — to extend usability and provide almost increased use cases. The projector incorporates Samsung&#8217;s patented &#8220;Sound-On-Screen&#8221; technology, integrating the top speaker module and software algorithms for an immersive sound experience.</li>
<li><strong>The Freestyle 2<sup>nd</sup> Gen</strong>: Launched in September 2023, the second iteration of the portable projector features Smart Edge Blending, which supports seamless merging of projections from two The Freestyle devices to create a large screen for pictures and videos. It allows two devices to project an image as big as 160-inches with a 21:9 screen ratio, with no manual adjustment needed.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>New Soundbars for </strong><strong>Immersive Audio Experience</strong></h3>
<p>To top off a home entertainment set up, the 2024 soundbar line-up offers newly updated models for even more immersive audio experiences, which are particularly bolstered by advanced AI algorithms.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Music Frame</strong>: This customizable speaker is compatible with SmartThings and provides surround sound when paired with Samsung TVs and soundbars. Music Frame can either operate as a standalone wireless speaker or pair with a Samsung TV and soundbar via Q-Symphony to augment bass and surround sound. Seamlessly blending into its environment by camouflaging itself inside modern picture frames, <span>Music Frame provides high-quality sound while fitting anywhere into your home.</span><span></span></li>
<li><strong>HW-Q990D: </strong><span>This exceptional soundbar delivers our best sound experience yet. Hear the finer detail and precise sound across all your content through an incredible 11.1.4channel sound experience with powerful Dolby Atmos. Newly added to this premium soundbar is 4K 120Hz pass-through of content for a lightning fast immersive gaming experience. It analy</span><span>s</span><span>es audio and uses AI to optimise sound for the perfect experience across a wide range of content. </span></li>
<li><strong>HW-S800D: </strong>T<span>his ultra-thin, 1.6-inch-deep soundbar is designed to fit seamlessly into any space and provides rich and immersive sound. At only a third of the </span><span>dep</span><span>th of conventional soundbars, the S800D has 10 drivers, including dedicated overhead speakers and a centre channel for crystal-clear vocals and superior sound quality. The combination of a deep bass subwoofer and passive radiator technology enhances the listening experience with deep, distortion-free bass in a compact form factor. </span></li>
</ul>
<p>Samsung&#8217;s 2024 TV and soundbar line-up promises a seamless fusion of cutting-edge technology and user-centric design, setting the stage for personalised, immersive experiences that redefine the way people live and engage with their devices.</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14996" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Samsung-No-1-TV-brand-for-17-years-563x563.jpg" alt="" width="563" height="563" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With its technical expertise and industry-leading innovation, Samsung Electronics has been recognised once again by market research firm Omdia as the No 1 selling TV brand in 2022, making it the 17th year in a row the company has ranked first  for TV sales. This accomplishment can be attributed to the company’s commitment to premium viewing experiences and user-centred design.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>By prioritising its premium product lineup, Samsung has upheld its unparalleled leadership in the TV industry for an impressive 17 years, exemplified best by its Neo QLED lineup. In 2022, Samsung sold a staggering 9.65 million units of QLED and Neo QLED TVs, bringing cumulative sales to 35 million units since its launch in 2017. Samsung also dominated the ultra-large TV market segment in 2022, reporting a 36.1% and 42.9% market share for TVs over 75-inches and 80-inches respectively. For the premium TV market priced over $2,500, Samsung retained the largest market share by revenue at 48.6%.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Our track record of industry leadership over the past 17 years was made possible by our consumers’ continued loyalty and trust in our products,” said Cheolgi Kim, Executive Vice President of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “We will continue to pave the path to create the most premium device experiences that go beyond premium picture quality.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung’s leadership of TV sales for 17 consecutive years is a testament to the company’s commitment to providing the most innovative products with consumer-centric designs and upgraded user experiences. The launch of the Bordeaux TV in 2006 marked the mainstream adoption of LCD TVs with sophisticated designs and light-weight form factor. It was also the first time for Samsung to rank number one in the global television market. The company continued to bring groundbreaking technologies closer to consumers by launching its first LED TV in 2009 and Smart TV in 2011, holding the top position in the market throughout each of those launches and after.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung continued to push the boundaries of picture quality and innovation by introducing products with the latest technologies as well. In 2017, Samsung defined the term “next-generation display” by unveiling the first QLED TV, which utilised quantum dot technology to achieve 100 percent colour volume for the first time in the industry. In 2018, the company launched the groundbreaking QLED 8K, followed by the Quantum Mini LED-backed Neo QLED and the self-illuminating MICRO LED in 2021.

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>LONDON, United Kingdom  – January 4, 2023</strong> – Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today unveiled its new Neo QLED, MICRO LED and Samsung OLED lineups alongside lifestyle products and accessories ahead of CES<sup>®</sup> 2023. This year’s lineup features advanced, innovative products with a focus on enhanced connectivity and personalised consumer experiences.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung’s wide portfolio of offerings helps users build their own tailored experiences with the devices they use every day, with more intuitive technology than ever before. This year, Samsung takes one step further in its ever-evolving journey to simplify consumers’ everyday lives with seamless multi-device integration across its entire ecosystem through its smart home platform SmartThings<span>.</span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p>“In 2023, we are pushing boundaries of innovation to offer consumers more than just premium picture quality, but a holistic, premium device experience tailored to what they need and want out of their connected home,” said Cheolgi Kim, EVP of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “With SmartThings, our advanced technology is seamless and intuitive, which can make life more accessible and enjoyable everyday.”</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Premium and Connected Experiences with Neo QLED</strong></h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung’s latest suite of Neo QLED 8K and 4K televisions provide consumers with premium options that suit every need. Neo QLED picture quality is powered by Samsung’s advanced Neural Quantum Processor, which supports the Quantum Mini LED-lit TV with 14-bit processing and AI upscaling, enabling features such as Shape Adaptive Light Control and Real Depth Enhancer Pro for a three-dimensional, lifelike picture.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span>Samsung’s 2023 Neo QLEDs also go beyond just a clear picture, with a high-resolution panel and Samsung’s proprietary algorithm that power Samsung’s new <strong>Auto HDR Remastering</strong>. It uses AI deep learning technology to analyse and apply real-time High Dynamic Range (HDR) effects on Standard Dynamic Range (SDR)  content on a scene-by-scene basis, making SDR content brighter and livelier for absolute immersion.</span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p>In addition, <span>SmartThings users no longer need to purchase a separate SmartThings dongle to connect and control Zigbee and Thread devices. In 2023, the SmartThings Zigbee &amp; Matter Thread One-Chip Module will be directly built into Samsung products. </span>And for the ultimate connected device experience, SmartThings<span> automatically syncs devices for easier control of not just Samsung devices, but also third-party appliances and IoT devices</span><a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[1]</sup></span></span></a><span> for seamless connections. </span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<ul>
<li><span> </span><span><strong>Chat Together:</strong></span><span> Users can easily enter a live chat group to share thoughts and react in real-time with others who are also watching the same content. </span></li>
<li><span> </span><span><strong>ConnecTime:</strong></span><span> Makes it easier to take video calls from connected devices, providing a larger platform for video calls on the TV and a seamless transition to a smaller device if a user wants to walk away and transfer the call to another screen. </span></li>
<li><span><span style="text-decoration: line-through;"> </span></span><span><strong>3D Map View</strong></span><span>: Designed to let users conveniently control and monitor connected devices, Samsung’s 3D Map View provides users a bird&#8217;s eye view of their home and all of their SmartThings devices at-a-glance</span></li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><span><strong>Broadening Viewing Options with MICRO LED and Samsung OLED</strong></span></h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The 2023 MICRO LED lineup offers new models ranging from 50 to 140-inches<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[2]</sup></span></span></a> to provide consumers with a breadth of options for unparalleled picture quality and screen experience. Thanks to its modular nature, MICRO LED is not bound by shape, ratio and size, making it completely customisable to fit a consumer’s desired set up. In addition, it comes without bezels so regardless of configuration, the boundary between screen and real life is seamless.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>And to provide consumers with even more viewing options, Samsung’s 2023 OLED lineup is now available in 55, 65 and the new ultra-large 77-inch models. Samsung’s latest OLED lineup comes with Quantum Dot technology that has been developed for Samsung’s Neo QLEDs as well as Neural Quantum Processors to retain OLED technology’s core strengths, while simultaneously improving limitations in its brightness and colour representation.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The expanded lineup comes with a 144Hz refresh rate and all of Samsung’s smart features, including Samsung Gaming Hub. And for the first time on an OLED TV, Samsung OLEDs come with AMD&#8217;s FreeSync Premium Pro certification for the ultimate OLED gaming experience.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Finally, to expand viewing options, Samsung offers Samsung TV Plus on all of its smart TV lineup. The free ad-supported TV (FAST) and video-on-demand service delivers over 1,800 channels globally, including over 50 owned &amp; operated channels, reaching 24 countries and 465 million devices globally across the company’s TV and mobile devices. It is 100% free and doesn&#8217;t require any downloads, subscriptions or additional devices.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>Explore a New World of Gaming with Samsung Gaming Hub</strong></h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Samsung Gaming Hub<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[3]</sup></span></span></a>, the new home for gaming on Samsung Smart TVs, offers users unlimited access to thousands of their favourite games from partners such as Xbox, NVIDIA GeForce Now, Amazon Luna and Utomik with no downloads, storage limits or consoles required. Moreover, it is the most intuitive gaming experience, where players can simply switch on their TVs and play.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung Gaming Hub, which was launched last year, delivers incredible picture quality and an entirely new way to approach gaming – with multitasking, expanded partnerships and 4K streaming. Players can even watch multiple types of content at the same time.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In 2023, upgrades for <strong>GameBar 3.0</strong> with <strong>MiniMap Sharing</strong><a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4"><span><span style="font-size: small;"><sup>[4]</sup></span></span></a> and <strong>Virtual Aim Point</strong> elevate the experience for every type of gamer. MiniMap Sharing enables players to see the minimap of their game at-a-glance on any display while Virtual Aim Point, designed for first-person shooters(FPS), allows players to view more noticeable crosshairs in any game so they can make the perfect shot.</p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p>The Samsung Gaming Hub is also available on Samsung smart monitors and gaming screens – including the Odyssey series. With Odyssey Ark, gamers can rotate their screens vertically or horizontally based on their desired orientation and enjoy immersive games with a 55-inch 1000R curved screen and powerful sound.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>Elevate Your Lifestyle with Expanded Lifestyle Lineup and New Features</strong></h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Consumer’s lifestyle needs are constantly shifting. To navigate this landscape, Samsung has unveiled new lifestyle products and features to elevate the user experience to another level, allowing consumers to customise the way they view and experience screens.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>The Premiere 8K:</strong> In 2023, Samsung is introducing a new iteration of its laser projector, The Premiere 8K. The ultra-short throw projector lineup now comes with an 8K model, giving users the same ultra-large screen in even higher resolution. It supports a maximum screen size of 150-inches for a massive screen with exquisite resolution to match.</li>
<li><strong>The Freestyle with Smart</strong><strong> EDGE</strong><strong> Blending: </strong>The Freestyle is the ultimate flexible device, allowing consumers to watch whatever they want wherever they want. In 2023, users can take advantage of the new Smart EDGE Blending feature, which allows users to use two of the devices and watch content in a 21:9 configuration with no manual lining up or adjusting. The 2023 Freestyle will also support Samsung Gaming Hub for more entertainment on the go.</li>
<li><strong>New</strong><strong> UI and Accessories:</strong> In 2023, Samsung is introducing a new and improved Samsung Art Store with features such as previews at-a-glance and extended content offerings, which mimic the experience of visiting a gallery or museum. Also new is a metal bezel option for a modern and luxurious look on The Frame. Samsung’s latest TV lineup can be mounted with the <strong>Auto Rotating Wall Mount &amp; Stand</strong>, which brings the automatic rotation and vertical media viewing experience of The Sero to other TVs, including The Frame and Neo QLEDs.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>Everyday S</strong><strong>ustainability</strong><strong> with Samsung Screens</strong></h2>
<p>In line with the latest environmental strategy announced in 2022, Samsung intends to work with partners and customers to be eco-conscious, providing a broader impact throughout the product’s lifecycle.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Recycled Materials:</strong> For the 2023 lineup, Samsung will replace 20% of the bracket parts used for the SolarCell Remote with recycled ocean-bound plastic. In addition, the main parts of the power board use recycled aluminum cans and copper, replacing approximately 12% of the original materials used.</li>
<li><strong>Reducing Manufacturing Impact: </strong>Samsung designed a light-weight injection mold that requires fewer materials, with a structure that can be repurposed, bringing down the overall energy consumption and raw materials needed for production.</li>
<li><strong>Eco-Packaging: </strong>In 2023, Samsung Eco-Packaging will come with minimal print so less ink is consumed in its production, and Samsung will use paper tape to reduce the use of plastic in its packaging. Additionally, package sizes will be reduced to lower overall carbon emissions.</li>
</ul>
<p><em> </em></p>
<h2><strong>Multidimensional Soundscape and Audio Quality with AI </strong></h2>
<p>A premium screen experience would only be complete with ultra-immersive audio. While Samsung TVs come with impressive built-in speakers, they also have powerful audio features and devices to enhance the viewing experience for something truly cinematic.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>AI </strong><strong>Sound Remastering: </strong>In 2023, Samsung’s flagship TV and soundbar offer Sound Remastering, which utilises AI to remaster each sound object to ensure voices are clear, environmental sounds are totally enveloping and that each component is just the right volume.</li>
<li><strong>New Soundbars: </strong>In addition to the flagship soundbar, <strong>HW-Q990C</strong>, with 11.1.4 channel sound supporting Dolby Atmos, the ultra-slim <strong>HW-S800B </strong>offers powerful immersive sound in Dolby Atmos from a 3.1.2 channel device that is just 40mm tall and 38mm deep. It is easily placed with any TV and still offers clear sound with punchy bass.</li>
<li><strong>Q-Symphony: </strong>A new iteration of harmony between the TV and soundbar, 2023 new Q-Symphony will provide vastly evolved sound for which the soundbar taps into the TV’s Neural Processing Unit to analyse audio signals and process each sound for more detail than ever before.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>These audio features and devices complete the viewing experience so that in 2023, Samsung devices are their most connected, most powerful and most customisable for the ultimate, personalised device ecosystem to date.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>May 25, 2022 – </strong>Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today celebrates the grand opening of a virtual production stage in collaboration with leading entertainment company in Korea, CJ ENM. The studio’s real-time virtual experience is powered by connected cameras and Samsung’s cutting-edge Micro LED technology, The Wall (Model Name: IWA).</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The partnership, first <a href="https://news.samsung.com/global/samsung-to-build-first-virtual-production-studio-with-cj-enm-leveraging-leading-display-technology">announced</a> in July 2021, leverages the customisable, modular technology of The Wall and CJ ENM’s globally renowned television and film content production. The opening of this studio in Paju, Korea demonstrates momentum from both companies toward the next generation of video production technology, aimed at satisfying a range of customers in the increasingly fast-paced world of entertainment.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/CJ_ENM_VP_Studio_Opening_main1F.jpg" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“We are delighted to announce the opening of this virtual production stage in partnership with CJ ENM, a company at the forefront of media and entertainment,” said Hyesung Ha, Executive Vice President of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “We are excited to see the innovation that this new space will produce, bringing the latest content to life like never seen before on our incredible display, The Wall.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The CJ ENM virtual production stage will present Samsung’s innovative Micro LED technology with The Wall’s impressive screen measuring over 1,000 inches in a custom oval display of 20 meters in diameter and 7 meters in height. The IWA model display supports a resolution of 30,720 (32K) x 4,320 (4K). This real-time, virtual set powered by Samsung’s Micro LED displays and connected cameras will reduce the image compositing needs and save time and production costs. In addition, an IFR2.5 ceiling display has been installed, with the IFR 2.5 Plug Wall displayed on the other side of the IWA. 360-degree video shooting is also possible thanks to the main screen, ceiling and Plug Wall.</p>

<p>The Wall’s specifications are customisable to fit the unique requirements of the content creators and space, including ceiling installation in convex or concave design.

<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-12255" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Neo-QLED-8K_1-845x563.png" alt="" width="845" height="563" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Neo-QLED-8K_1-845x563.png 845w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Neo-QLED-8K_1-768x512.png 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Neo-QLED-8K_1-1024x683.png 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 845px) 100vw, 845px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Finally, MICRO LED comes packed with enhanced usability and customisation features.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Art Mode</strong> allows consumers to turn any room into an art gallery as they can select and display their favorite artwork or digital photography. The 2022 MICRO LED also comes with two exclusive media pieces from noted artist and designer Refik Anadol.</li>
<li><strong>Multi View</strong> lets users view content from four different sources simultaneously – from any or all of the <strong>four HDMI ports</strong> – in pristine 4K resolution at up to 120fps.</li>
<li><strong>Dolby Atmos</strong> delivers a premier immersive audio experience with <strong>top, side and bottom channel speakers</strong> for breathtaking, multi-dimensional sound.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong><em>Evolution of Neo QLED with Neo Quantum Processor and Dynamic Sound Experience</em></strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Thanks to the <strong>Neo Quantum Processor</strong> and the advancements in picture technology and sound it delivers<strong>, 2022</strong> Neo QLED will provide some of the most pristine images and immersive soundscapes possible. In fact, this year’s Neo Quantum Processor introduces <strong>advanced</strong> <strong>contrast mapping </strong>with BLU (back-light unit), increasing the brightness level from 12 to <strong>14-bit</strong> gradation for greater control of the light source – the Quantum Mini LEDs<strong>.</strong> This allows the TV to control its lighting across 16,384 steps, quadrupled from the previous 4,096 steps.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The new <strong>Shape Adaptive Light</strong> technology leverages the Neo Quantum Processor to analyse lines, shapes and surfaces to control the shape of light from the Quantum Mini LEDs, enhancing the brightness and accuracy of all shapes on the screen. The result is outstanding image quality that puts full HDR content on display. Samsung’s 2022 Neo QLED also features <strong>Real Depth Enhancer</strong>, a multi-intelligence picture quality algorithm. This technological advancement creates a greater sense of realism by determining and processing an object on the screen against its background to create a sense of depth.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Additionally, Samsung’s 2022 Neo QLED features <strong>EyeComfort mode,</strong> which automatically adjusts the screen’s brightness and tone based on a built-in light sensor and sunset/sunrise information. As the ambient light changes, the screen will gradually reduce the amount of light and offer warmer tones, adjusting the blue light levels accordingly. This allows for a more comfortable viewing experience at night by reducing the blue light which may affect one’s sleep quality.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Neo QLED’s sound features are getting a major upgrade as well. Building on OTS (Object Tracking Sound), which directs the sound to move across the room along with the object on-screen, the 2022 products will feature <strong>OTS Pro, </strong>which incorporates powerful up-firing speakers to create overhead surround sound. 2022 Neo QLED also delivers a truly remarkable <strong>Dolby Atmos</strong> experience thanks to the addition of Samsung’s new top channel speakers. With multi-channel speakers placed throughout the TV, Neo QLED delivers a dynamic sound experience that tracks the actions from all corners.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The 2021 model of The Wall (Model Name: IWA) with MICRO LED technology enhances visual expression with ultra-deep blacks and wide viewing angles, giving filmmakers and content creators the ultimate canvas to fulfill their visions. The modular screens are ideal for studios thanks to their precise color expression, HDR10+ and cinema LED picture quality technology and optimised frame rates for production houses. A new molding process is also applied to the modular surfaces of The Wall to minimise any moiré patterns from forming, a nuisance typically associated with filming standard LED screens.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Wall’s massive screen measures over 1,000 inches, producing vibrant colors and details supporting up to 16K high-resolution<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span>[1]</span></a> content. Dedicated frame rates for studio production, a new addition to this year’s model, allows producers to run content at frame rates such as 23.976, 29.97 and 59.94Hz, ensuring seamless videos sync with the most widely used camera framerates. Frame Rate Sync technology further reduces screen disruptions for true-to-life accuracy. With thoughtful dust and contamination-resistant LED protective films, plus a variety of easy-to-use solutions, such as remote management and colour adjustment, The Wall is built for convenient management in any environment.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="wp-image-125946 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/CJENM_virtual_main3.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="562" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Both companies expect this collaboration to improve content production possibilities while satisfying a variety of customers by reimagining content production for today’s fast-paced entertainment environment.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Combining CJ ENM’s globally recognised content production of television series and films and Samsung’s cutting-edge Micro LED technology, this partnership will allow CJ ENM to push forward the creation of a new powerhouse of the next-generation content,” said Ho-sung Kang, CJ ENM CEO. &#8220;While CJ ENM is investing $4.4 billion over the next five years in entertainment content, we are taking the lead in building a global No. 1 production studio to become a world leading entertainment company.&#8221;</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Samsung Electronics exquisitely refined its Neo QLED 8K lineup’s sound system to allow users to take full advantage of their large TV’s audio quality. The flagship displays were designed to analyse both the size of the space where they sit and how they’ve been installed in order to calibrate sound to its optimal settings. The TVs use that information to pump out realistic, object-tracking sound through their eight total speakers.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>To learn more about how Samsung’s newest TVs tailor sound based on where users place their screen, and how sound has evolved as a tool for fostering immersive home entertainment, Samsung Newsroom sat down with some of the developers behind the displays.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_10796" style="width: 855px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="wp-image-10796 size-medium" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Sound_Engineer_main1-845x563.jpg" alt="" width="845" height="563" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Sound_Engineer_main1-845x563.jpg 845w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Sound_Engineer_main1-768x511.jpg 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Sound_Engineer_main1.jpg 1000w" sizes="(max-width: 845px) 100vw, 845px" /><p class="wp-caption-text">▲ (From left) Engineers Jongbae Kim, Sungjoo Kim and Sunmin Kim of Samsung Electronics’ Visual Display Business.</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>SpaceFit Does Spatial Analysis Daily to Optimise Sound Settings </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Today, with more users watching TV in more places, including living rooms, workrooms, bedrooms, terraces and more, both sitting up and lying down, and at different times of the day, our viewing habits are changing. Now, more users are customising their viewing experience based on their living environment. With this in mind, the developers focused on creating technology that would automatically analyse users’ viewing environments to ensure that they’re always enjoying the best possible sound. The result is SpaceFit, a feature that automatically checks for changes in your living space once a day and calibrates sound settings accordingly.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-10803" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Sound_Engineer_main2.gif" alt="" width="1000" height="563" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Here’s how it works. First, a built-in microphone identifies elements that can affect sound, such as curtains, carpets and walls. Suppose the TV is placed in a user’s living room, which features a carpet that we can assume absorbs mid-to-high range sounds. In this case, SpaceFit would optimise sound settings to raise the mid-to-high range sounds accordingly and automatically. It works the same regardless of whether stands, wall hangings and other elements are changed. If the TV were to be moved closer to the wall, then the space behind it would become narrower, which could affect low frequency sounds. SpaceFit allows the TV to notice this change and adjust its settings in advance to produce clearer sound.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-10804" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Sunmin-Kim.png" alt="" width="750" height="495" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The key point to remember is that all of these processes occur automatically. As Engineer Sunmin Kim explained, “SpaceFit is an automated function that does not require that users press a button, and the device won’t send out a ‘testing’ sound. By simply turning it on or off, the TV will analyse the environment based on the sound of the content that the user actually consumes. So all you need to do is just enjoy what is being played on screen.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This industry-first technology was made possible thanks to innovations that were based on a myriad of data and AI technologies. From sound-absorbing areas, such as what are referred to in sound engineering as ‘dead rooms,’ to acoustically reflective spaces, the team considered both extremes in terms of viewing environments.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Since there were so many variables to consider, we built up a sufficiently wide learning database and analysed it using machine learning technology. That’s where the AI technologies that Samsung developed kicked in,” said Sunmin Kim, who also noted that the feature “can cover almost any typical space in which a TV may be placed.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>OTS Pro Uses Eight Speakers to Produce 3D Sound from All Corners of the Screen</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Content is beginning to make use of a wider range of sound channels, and users’ preferred ways of enjoying that content are also changing. As home entertainment expands and both wide screens and multi-channel sources with immersive formats like films become more popular, it’s becoming commonplace for multiple people to enjoy the same content together. The key here is to widen the ‘sweet spot’ – the location from which users can enjoy optimal sound even at the outside edges of the screen. As content grows more varied and screens become bigger, sound, too, must evolve in a way that enhances users’ enjoyment.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-10802" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Sound_Engineer_main4.gif" alt="" width="1000" height="563" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Object Tracking Sound (OTS) technology, a feature that tracks the movement of objects on-screen using the TV’s multi-channel speakers, is allowing Samsung to take users’ enjoyment to the next level. Neo QLED 8Kincludes an enhanced version of the technology, OTS Pro, and adds two centre speakers to previous models’ six-speaker setup, for a total of eight. When an object on-screen moves, the speaker located in the optimal spot for expressing the movement produces sound, matching what the viewer sees on their screen. The immersive sound setup enriches the left and right stereo experience and the 3D effect, taking the viewing experience to new heights by making the user feel as if they were standing in the middle of the action.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-10797" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Sound_Engineer_main5-845x563.jpg" alt="" width="845" height="563" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Sound_Engineer_main5-845x563.jpg 845w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Sound_Engineer_main5-768x511.jpg 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Sound_Engineer_main5.jpg 1000w" sizes="(max-width: 845px) 100vw, 845px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Often, when consuming content on a large screen, viewers watching the TV from both sides notice that sound produced at the centre of the screen seems like it’s being produced in only one side,” said Engineer Jongbae Kim. “That’s why we added a centre speaker between the left and right sides. The combination of the newly added centre speaker and OTS Pro gathers sound in the middle of the screen, makes voices clearer, and expresses sound’s position more accurately, without distortion.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>If a speaker were to actually be placed at the centre of a TV, it could clash with the overall design concept. The developers solved this issue by attaching a tweeter applied with a wave guide to the rear of the device. “If a speaker were to be placed on the back, sound would disperse in all directions and bounce off the walls, reducing clarity,” said Engineer Sungjoo Kim. “We needed a technology that drew sound toward viewers when they were in front of their TV. Employing a hole array technique enabled us to ensure that sound would travel well from a tweeter to the front of the display.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The team’s efforts to balance sound also extend to Samsung’s next-generation MICRO LED display. Because the bottom of this large screen can almost reach the floor of users’ living rooms, if users connect their display to a multi-component home theater setup, there may not be space to place a center speaker.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“The 110-inch MICRO LED lineup features a μ-Symphony function, which allows you to use the built-in speaker as the center speaker,” said Jongbae Kim. “This means that you do not have to use a separate centre speaker for your home entertainment system because MICRO LED’s multi-channel speaker fills that role. Because sound comes from the centre of the screen, there is no sound-image mismatching, and the user enjoys a cinema-like experience.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Making Use of Each and Every Piece of an Ultra-Slim Design</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-10805" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Infinity-Screen.png" alt="" width="747" height="421" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Infinity-Screen.png 747w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Infinity-Screen-728x410.png 728w" sizes="(max-width: 747px) 100vw, 747px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Infinity Screen, a unique aspect of Samsung’s TV design, maximises immersion by making bezels nearly invisible. It also posed a unique challenge for the developers, requiring them to explore how to best mount multiple speakers within the device’s slim form.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-10798" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Sound_Engineer_main7-845x563.jpg" alt="" width="845" height="563" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Sound_Engineer_main7-845x563.jpg 845w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Sound_Engineer_main7-768x511.jpg 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Sound_Engineer_main7.jpg 1000w" sizes="(max-width: 845px) 100vw, 845px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“In the past, a duct structure was used to draw the low frequency sound from the inside of the woofer speaker to the outside,” said Sungjoo Kim. “This type of design is capable of generating unwanted noise resulting from air turbulence. So, for the 8K models, we decided to take a ‘passive radiator’ approach that allowed us to produce rich, low-pitched sound. This not only enabled us to use the limited space inside the slim TV more efficiently, but it also allowed us to create rich and pure sound.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“By exposing the diaphragm of the woofer and the passive radiator on the back of the TV,” he added, “it became possible to visualise Neo QLED’s sound performance in an interesting and intuitive way.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>It’s just one of Neo QLED TVs’ many innovative, out-of-the-box design elements. To help accommodate for increasingly thinner panels, components that used to serve basic functions have been given new roles. “We used part of the rear cover of the TV as an acoustic component that guides the direction of sound to the sides,” said Jongbae Kim. “We also reinvented the design of the ‘slit vent,’ a component inside the rear cover that extends from the centre tweeter to the bottom and was previously used to emit heat, to improve acoustic performance by controlling directivity. We utilised each and every part as much as possible, which means that no element of the design is without purpose.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Delivering Rich, Realistic Sound</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The developers have also gone to great lengths to gain a deeper understanding of the content users enjoy as part of an effort to provide better sound performance. For example, when analysing sports content, they focus on reproducing the sound of the crowd, while for music, they try to create a stable sound stage. For movies, they conduct constant analysis to ensure that dialogue comes from the centre of the screen.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-10801" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Sound_Engineer_main8-1000x470.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="470" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Sound_Engineer_main8.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Sound_Engineer_main8-768x361.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“With speaker form factors changing, upmixing is becoming more important,” said Sunmin Kim. “Input channels are becoming varied, and the average number of speakers is increasing from six to eight, which adds up to countless combinations of inputs and outputs.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Let’s say you’re enjoying two-channel content. Here, instead of sending signals blindly through eight speakers, it is important to understand the mixing characteristics of the content and send each signal separately. Samsung’s unique technology makes this possible using an optimised algorithm that’s based on AI.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung TVs have led the global market for 15 years running, and the user data that the company has accumulated thus far has been an invaluable asset. As countless families across the world use Samsung TVs, the ubiquity of the company’s displays offers an opportunity to think about what’s next. Sungjoo Kim hinted at what Samsung has in store. “We are systematically building a deep learning network that is based on numerous data,” said Kim. “In addition, we are going to firmly establish our position as a global leader by discussing technologies needed in the mid-to-long term with Samsung Electronics’ overseas AI research centres.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In response to an ever-growing flood of content, the developers are committed to helping Samsung TVs deliver a sound experience that’s as close to reality as possible.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Screens are getting bigger, designs are getting slimmer, and content is becoming more varied. Keeping pace with trends, increasing speaker channels and doing so in three dimensions, and advancing our AI technologies to allow channels to better correspond to one another will bring us closer to delivering realistic sound. This may ultimately lead us into an era where you do not need a remote control to adjust sound settings.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Look forward to more Samsung TV innovations designed to maximise users’ viewing experiences.</p>
