The QLED TV can express accurate color and achieve 100 percent color volume in the DCI-P3 color space, the format for most cinema screen and HDR movies for television. The QLED TV\u2019s 4K HDR Elite features rich, deep black levels and bold contrast to display every detail on the display. Meanwhile, 4K upscaling converts HD broadcasts into 4K, ensuring that consumers get an incredibly sharp picture no matter the original resolution of the content they are watching.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, watching sports at home often involves dealing with the brightness of the daylight at the stadium and of the daylight coming into your living room. QLED TV excels in these environments, offering superior real-world performance for color, contrast, and brightness. And on particularly bright and sunny days, the QLED TV also has anti-reflection technology that helps to minimizes glare coming in through the windows.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"embedded recommended recommended-post\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"embedded-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"card-badge\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Recommended News<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"recommended-card\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/news.samsung.com\/us\/samsungs-2018-premium-uhd-qled-tvs-receive-hdr10-certification\/\" class=\"recommended-news\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.us.news.samsung.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/14121126\/Samsung-TV-HDR10Plus-Certification-3.jpg\" alt=\"Samsung\u2019s 2018 Premium UHD and QLED TVs Receive &#8216;HDR10+&#8217; Certification\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"details\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"details-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"post-category\">Home Entertainment<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4>Samsung\u2019s 2018 Premium UHD and QLED TVs Receive &#8216;HDR10+&#8217; Certification<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"article-content\">\n\t\t<div class=\"article-body\">\n<p>In addition, Samsung\u2019s new design elements can fit into any home \u2013 regardless of the interior aesthetics or setup.
