Las Vegas, Nevada \u2013 January 3, 2016 \u2013<\/strong> <\/span>Samsung Electronics<\/strong><\/a> today announced its new QLED TV series – Q9, Q8, and Q7<\/strong> – during the company\u2019s 2017 product unveiling, held at the Keep Memory Alive Event Center in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

\u201c2017 will mark a major paradigm shift in the visual display industry, ushering in the era of QLED,\u201d said HyunSuk Kim, President of the Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics.<\/strong> \u201cWith 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

Samsung\u2019s Best Picture Quality – Ever<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

With picture quality remaining a top priority for consumers around the world – especially as the average TV continues to increase in size, Samsung\u2019s 2017 QLED TVs represent yet another leap forward.<\/p>\n

The new lineup offers dramatically improved color performance, displaying DCI-P3 color space accurately and \u2013 in another world first for Samsung, QLED TVs are capable of showcasing 100 percent color volume. This means they can express all colors at any level of brightness \u2013 with even the subtlest differences visible at the QLED\u2019s peak luminance – between 1,500 and 2,000 nits.<\/p>\n

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. Samsung QLED 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>\n

This breakthrough is a result of Samsung adding a new metal material to its nano-sized semiconductor Quantum dots,\u00a0which dramatically improves color accuracy and luminance efficiency.<\/p>\n

The new metal Quantum dot material enables the 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\u2019s QLED TV can generate peak luminance as high as 1,500 to 2,000 nits of brightness, with no impact on its ability to deliver accurate and impeccable color. With the new 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>\n

Committed to Solving Consumer Pain Points<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Samsung also used today\u2019s product unveiling to highlight new design features which resolve some of the most significant TV viewer pain points.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the QLED TV, we\u2019ve solved problems that everyone \u2014and every home\u2014has experienced; cable clutter, thick wall mounts and a slew of devices sitting right under the TV,\u201d said Dave Das, Senior Vice President of Consumer Electronics Marketing for Samsung Electronics America.\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cWith our 2017 lineup, the focus remains where it should be\u2014the content on the screen \u2014not everything surrounding it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The improvements to design and usability in the QLED TV series include a single, transparent \u2018Invisible Connection\u2019 cable, through which all of the peripheral devices can be gathered and connected to the TV. This is in addition to the \u2018No-gap wall-mount\u2019, 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 \u2018Studio Stand\u2019, which resembles an easel with a painting, or the sleek \u2018Gravity Stand\u2019, which when attached to the TV, resembles a contemporary sculpture.<\/p>\n

Samsung\u2019s Smartest TV ever<\/span> <\/strong><\/h4>\n

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 – 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>\n

This year, the \u2018Smart Hub\u2019 interface has been extended to smartphones through Samsung\u2019s new and improved \u2018Smart View\u2019 app, which now provides a comprehensive overview of all available content on the app\u2019s home screen. Thus, consumers can use their mobile device to select and start their favorite live TV programs and video-on-demand services – on their TV, through the \u2018Smart View\u2019 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>\n

Samsung also introduced two new Smart TV services, including \u2018Sports\u2019, which shows a customizable summary of a customer\u2019s favorite sports team and its recent and upcoming games, and \u2018Music\u2019, which can identify songs as they are being played live on a TV show, among many other features.<\/p>\n

More than 200 journalists from around the world participated in Samsung\u2019s product unveiling event to experience Samsung QLED TV\u2019s 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>\n
