Witness The Evolution of Nature – Only on Samsung QLED

Samsung reveals its latest innovations which now – quite literally- show the tip of the iceberg

As one of the UK’s most watched nature shows returned after a 16-year hiatus this weekend, and with 16-34 year olds now more likely to watch nature documentaries over reality talent shows* – experts at Samsung have revealed how to truly see nature like never before.  So before you tune in, Samsung TV Product Manager Dean Hayward tells you the three things to look for, to ensure your TV is up to scratch.

1 – The purest ocean blue
“Utilising ground-breaking Quantum dot technology, which Samsung was first to launch, QLED TVs take light and turn it into breath-taking colour” says Dean. “At the start of the 21^st century, the average television screen could only deliver up to 35% of the colour the human eye can see.  When experiencing 100% colour volume** on a Samsung QLED television, viewers in 2017 can now witness 54% colour– be it the stunning ocean blue of the Atlantic waves or the sparkling silver dorsal fins of dolphins dashing”.

2 – The shadows within ocean caves
“With nature programmes, such as the upcoming Blue Planet II, being shot using the most cutting-edge technology, viewers are now taken to the deepest, darkest depths of the ocean which won’t have been seen before. Compared to 16 years ago when televisions had less than a million pixels, there are now over 8 million pixels worth of detail on a Samsung 4K UHD certified TV. You can only be certain to achieve the true colour and clarity of 4K resolution with a UHD certified TV.  Where previously the detail of what lurked beneath the camera lens might have been lost, and dark shadows appears as “single black blobs” – now the level of this detail is a lot brighter and sharper in 2017, we can see shade within shadow, so keep an eye out for exceptional detail as to what really is lurking beneath”.

3 – The tip of an iceberg
“Fans of nature shows should look closely at the whiteness of a polar bear’s home – the ice cap. This will be the brightest white on a Samsung QLED screen, and this innovative picture quality means these types of scenes will be significantly different compared to how they might have been viewed in the past. So for instance, the viewer will be able to see ice crystals within densely packed snow, as a polar bear dives under a glacier, or the frothy white bubbles on the crest of an ocean wave. QLED TVs with up to HDR 2000 deliver the highest brightness levels to date***, leaving the viewer witnessing the ultimate details as the creators would have intended them to be seen” says Dean Hayward.
