The company will also seek to lower user power consumption and use more recycled materials across its entire TV line.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sustainable Packaging Design: <\/strong>Building on valuable consumer feedback, Samsung is expanding its award-winning <strong>\u2018Eco-packaging\u2019<\/strong> design to all 2021 Lifestyle TVs and most of the 2021 Neo QLED line. This sustainable solution can upcycle up to 200,000 tons of corrugated boxes each year<sup>1<\/sup>. By minimizing text and graphic imagery on the Eco-packaging, the oil-based ink from color printing that\u2019s traditionally used on TV boxes is eliminated, helping to further reduce waste.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Solar Cell Remote Control: <\/strong>In 2021, Samsung TVs will come with a solar-powered remote control that can be recharged by indoor light, outdoor light or USB\u2014a first-of-its-kind innovation for the brand. This will help prevent waste from a projected 99 million AA batteries over seven years<sup>2<\/sup>.

Instead of using a lens to disperse light, and a package to fix the LED in place, the Quantum Mini LED has incredibly thin micro layers filled with many more LEDs. <strong>Quantum Matrix Technology<\/strong> enables ultra-fine and precise control of the densely packed LEDs, preventing blooming\u2014and allowing viewers to enjoy content as its meant to be seen. Neo QLED increases the luminance scale to 12-bit with 4096 steps; this helps make dark areas darker and bright areas brighter, resulting in a more precise and immersive HDR experience. And Neo QLED benefits from Samsung\u2019s proprietary, powerful <strong>Neo Quantum Processor<\/strong> with enhanced upscaling capabilities. By using up to 16 different neural network models, each trained in AI upscaling and deep learning technology, the Neo Quantum Processor can optimize picture quality to 4K and 8K picture output regardless of the input quality.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 1920px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-43622-1\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/img.us.news.samsung.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/06164459\/Neo-QLED-8K-3.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/img.us.news.samsung.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/06164459\/Neo-QLED-8K-3.mp4\">https:\/\/img.us.news.samsung.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/06164459\/Neo-QLED-8K-3.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p>Samsung\u2019s 2021 Neo QLED 8K features a new <strong>Infinity One Design<\/strong>\u2014a nearly bezel-less screen providing an even more immersive viewing experience in a sleek design and form factor.
