<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. has announced that it has maintained its No. 1 position in the global commercial display market in 2025, marking 17 consecutive years at the top with a 35.2% share by unit sales, according to research firm Omdia.<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><sup>[1]</sup></span></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Since achieving the global No. 1 position in the commercial display market for the first time in 2009, Samsung has continuously strengthened its leadership in the B2B display sector. In 2025, the company reached an all‑time high in annual sales when it shipped more than 2.5 million units.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This sustained performance reflects Samsung’s focus on next-generation signage that combines advanced display hardware with cloud and AI-based solutions in retail, corporate, education and hospitality environments.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung’s B2B display portfolio is built on its commitment to product innovation. Newly launched this year, Samsung Spatial Signage displays striking 3D content in a slim 52mm profile. It has already been recognised with a <a href="https://news.samsung.com/za/samsung-makes-enterprise-debut-at-ces-2026-with-spatial-signage" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CES 2026 Innovation Award</a> in the Enterprise Technology category and an iF Design Award 2026. Going forward, Samsung plans to expand the lineup to include additional sizes.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung’s <strong>Colour E‑Paper</strong> lineup delivers ultra‑low power signage as an alternative to traditional paper posters. The <a href="https://news.samsung.com/za/samsung-showcases-colour-e-paper-and-ai-signage-solutions-at-ise-2025" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>13-inch Colour E-Paper</strong></a> is a commercial display which to applies a bio-resin derived from phytoplankton in its housing.<a href="#_edn1" name="_ednref1"><span>[i]</span></a> The display’s housing consists of 45% recycled plastic and 10% phytoplankton-based bio-resin, allowing the manufacturing process to reduce carbon emissions by more than 40% compared to conventional petroleum-based plastic materials. <a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span><sup>[2]</sup></span></a> Samsung plans to go expand the use of this material across its E‑Paper lineup.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The portfolio also features extra-large format displays designed for high-impact business environments—ranging from the 105-inch QPDX-5K, 115-inch QHFX models to the upcoming 130-inch Micro RGB signage (QPHX model).</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Alongside hardware, Samsung expects to maintain its industry‑leading market position by connecting devices and solutions to provide customers with consistent, integrated experiences. This includes the <strong>Samsung VXT</strong> platform for remote device management and content operations as well as the new <strong>AI Studio</strong> app, which enables easy, signage‑ready video creation from a single product image. <a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><sup>[1]</sup></span></a></p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-25268 size-large" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/TV-Lifestyle-assets_Front_KV1-Option-2-1024x469.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="469" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/TV-Lifestyle-assets_Front_KV1-Option-2-1024x469.jpg 1024w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/TV-Lifestyle-assets_Front_KV1-Option-2-1000x458.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/TV-Lifestyle-assets_Front_KV1-Option-2-768x351.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>From 01 April to 31 May 2026, Samsung is running &#8211; TV Lifestyle campaign** that gives customers great savings across The Frame and OLED TVs, giving them a chance to tailor their technology to match their personal style, interior design and lifestyle needs.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This promotion displays a connection between art and technology through design that integrates Samsung’s high-end display innovations with curated artistic content – thereby transforming its customers’ functional electronics into lifestyle centerpieces. With this promotion, Samsung is showcasing that its high-tech and innovative TV products are accessible to a broader audience, while also making art a personalised part of the home.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Through its partnership with Art Basel, Samsung is able to bring high-quality artwork into customers’ homes &#8211; turning the TV screen into a more personal, everyday way to discover and live with art. In particular, The Frame TV transforms living spaces by adding artistic displays, functioning as a television when you’re watching sports or your favourite movie and a lifelike work of art in other times. It is designed to blend seamlessly into your home décor, showcasing curated masterpieces or even your personal photography.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Frame’s features include the Art Mode<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><sup>[1]</sup></span></a>, which ensures that when the TV is switched off, it automatically transitions to display digital art from a vast library or your own uploaded photos via the Samsung SmartThings<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span><sup>[2]</sup></span></a>  app. And, with Matte Display – models from 2022 onwards &#8211; now feature a specialised anti-glare<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><span><sup>[3]</sup></span></a> matte finish that drastically reduces reflections ensuring that the digital screen looks like an authentic canvas.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung has also recently released the &#8220;Art Basel Hong Kong&#8221; collection on the Samsung Art Store<a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4"><span><sup>[4]</sup></span></a> &#8211; a digital art subscription platform that is home to 5,000+ artworks and 800+ artists from world-renowned institutions like The Met, Musée du Louvre and The Van Gogh Museum as well as through its 80+ partnerships.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This longstanding collaboration with Art Basel, one of the largest art fairs globally &#8211; expands local customers’ access to world-class art in everyday spaces. This also allows these strategic partners the ability to provide more people with the opportunity to live with outstanding works of art every day. And that’s not all, Samsung customers are now able to enjoy the Art Store Streams &#8211; a complimentary service that provides a rotating set of 30 curated artworks every month, without a full subscription.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-25269 size-large" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/TV-Lifestyle-assets_Back_KV-1-1024x469.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="469" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/TV-Lifestyle-assets_Back_KV-1-1024x469.jpg 1024w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/TV-Lifestyle-assets_Back_KV-1-1000x458.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/TV-Lifestyle-assets_Back_KV-1-768x351.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-23093 size-large" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/S90F_FRONT_STAND_BeautyShot_39206-R3-1024x683.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="683" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/S90F_FRONT_STAND_BeautyShot_39206-R3-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/S90F_FRONT_STAND_BeautyShot_39206-R3-844x563.jpg 844w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/S90F_FRONT_STAND_BeautyShot_39206-R3-768x512.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Image quality has become a key deciding factor for consumers. Beyond screen size or resolution, the real difference today lies in the technology behind colour, brightness and visual fidelity – therefore, understanding these elements is crucial for identifying a high-performance television.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>One of the most significant advancements is the Real Quantum Dot technology certification from TÜV Rheinland<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><sup>[1]</sup></span></a> that certain Samsung televisions are accredited with. This innovation elevates the viewing experience to a new level and differs from other solutions that use alternative layers or colour simulations. Quantum dots are ultra-fine nanomaterials, tens of thousands of times smaller than a human hair, renowned for their ability to reproduce precise and vivid colors depending on light wavelength. The method by which quantum dots are integrated into display panels has become a key indicator for evaluating technological advancement in the premium TV segment. Thanks to this technology, it is possible to achieve 100% colour volume<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><sup>[1]</sup></span></a>, delivering brighter and more realistic images &#8211; even in scenes with high levels of brightness or contrast.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Another important aspect of Real Quantum Dot technology is its contribution to the durability and safety of the television. By not using materials such as cadmium<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span><sup>[2]</sup></span></a> &#8211; this innovation allows for more stable visual performance over time and aligns with current sustainability and environmental standards.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3></h3>
<h3><img class="aligncenter wp-image-23274 size-large" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/QN80FFF-1024x683.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="683" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/QN80FFF-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/QN80FFF-845x563.jpg 845w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/QN80FFF-768x512.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></h3>
<h3></h3>
<h3><strong>So, what should you consider when choosing a high-performance TV?</strong></h3>
<p>Verify that the television uses advanced technologies such as Real Quantum Dot, capable of reproducing accurate and consistent colours, even in very bright scenes. Look for equipment that offers 100% colour volume<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span><sup>[2]</sup></span></a> , which delivers more vivid and accurate images across different types of content.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Brightness stability:</strong> a Real Quamtum Dot TV maintains brightness and colour intensity without degrading. Opt for technologies that do not use elements such as cadmium<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><span><sup>[3]</sup></span></a>, which are associated with better long-term performance and current sustainability standards. Beyond resolution, consider how the image behaves under different lighting conditions and in content such as movies, sports or video games.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Choosing a television goes beyond comparing sizes or resolutions:</strong> it involves understanding how the technology behind the image works.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Upgrading your TV is an increasingly important decision for those seeking an improved home entertainment experience. Beyond screen size or resolution, there&#8217;s a technology that makes a real difference in picture quality: Real Quantum Dot Display, certified by TÜV Rheinland, an international certification organization based in Germany and featured in certain Samsung TVs. Samsung’s quantum dot technology has also been developed without cadmium<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><sup>[1]</sup></span></a> &#8211; a material toxic to health and the environment.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-23274 size-large" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/QN80FFF-1024x683.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="683" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/QN80FFF-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/QN80FFF-845x563.jpg 845w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/QN80FFF-768x512.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Thanks to this innovation &#8211; Samsung achieves 100% colour volume<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span><sup>[2]</sup></span></a>, great brightness and durability, positioning itself as a benchmark in high quality visual technology.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Not all QLEDs are created equal. Samsung’s Real QLED has earned official certification from TÜV Rheinland<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><span><sup>[3]</sup></span></a> confirming compliance with the IEC 62595-1-6 international standard, the benchmark for authentic quantum dot (QD) displays.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Realistic And Vibrant Colours With Real Quantum Dot</strong></h3>
<p>Real Quantum Dot technology uses nanocrystals that transform light into accurate colours, achieving near-realistic reproduction. This results in more vibrant images, sharper details and an immersive experience for both movies and TV shows. Unlike technologies without the <a href="https://news.samsung.com/za/samsung-qled-tvs-earn-real-quantum-dot-display-certification-from-tuv-rheinland" target="_blank" rel="noopener">certification</a>, Samsung TVs with Real Quantum Dot maintain their image quality for longer &#8211; guaranteeing long-lasting performance.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Cadmium-Free<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><sup>[1]</sup></span></a>: Responsible Innovation</strong></h3>
<p>One of Samsung&#8217;s major differentiators is that its Real Quantum Dot technology is cadmium-free<sup>1</sup>, a heavy metal commonly used in traditional displays that poses risks to health and the environment. By removing this component, Samsung improves the safety of its products, without sacrificing quality or visual performance.</p>
<h3></h3>
<h3><strong>Greater Brightness &amp; Contrast For Different Types Of Content</strong></h3>
<p><a href="https://www.samsung.com/za/tvs/all-tvs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Samsung TVs</strong></a> offer superior brightness, allowing you to enjoy clear images even in brightly lit environments. Furthermore, optimised contrast highlights details in both dark and bright scenes. This allows for a cinematic experience at home, with accurate colours and greater image depth.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Display innovation has always been at the heart of <span>Samsung</span>’s television leadership, and the company is once again rewriting the rules of what a screen can offer. With the unveiling of the <strong>115-inch Micro RGB television</strong>, Samsung introduces micro-sized Red, Green, Blue (RGB) colour precision backlight<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><sup>[1]</sup></span></a> display of its kind, marking a bold new chapter in Samsung’s TV technology and visual performance.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Building on the success of Samsung’s <span>Quantum Mini LED</span> technology, Micro RGB pushes the frontier even further. By harnessing microscopic red, green and blue LEDs as a direct backlight, Samsung has created a display capable of unprecedented colour precision, lifelike realism and intelligent picture processing<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span><sup>[2]</sup></span></a>. The result is a television experience<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><span><sup>[3]</sup></span></a> that feels less like watching a screen and more like opening a window to another world.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>A Breakthrough in Colour Technology</strong></h3>
<p>At the core of the new Micro RGB display is a revolutionary approach to colour reproduction. Ultra-thin RGB LEDs emit pure red, green and blue light independently. Unlike traditional TVs that rely on white backlights filtered through colour layers, Micro RGB produces colour directly from the source.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This microscopic precision allows the display to render colours with remarkable depth and accuracy while supporting nearly the entire range of colours visible to the human eye. The system also optimises sound, ensuring dialogue clarity and immersive depth that matches the vivid visuals.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Three Innovations that make the Micro RGB special;</strong></h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Big Technology in Microscopic Form</strong><br />
Micro RGB technology uses microscopic red, green and blue LEDs that act as a direct backlight system. These LEDs are smaller than those used in Mini LED technology and deliver independent colour emission for richer tones, deeper contrast and the widest colour spectrum ever offered on a Samsung TV.</li>
<li><strong>Unmatched Colour Accuracy</strong><br />
The Micro RGB display achieves <strong>100% of the </strong><span>2020 colour gamut</span>, surpassing the widely used <span>DCI-P3</span> standard. Certified by VDE<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><sup>[1]</sup></span></a>, this achievement ensures every shade appears balanced and authentic, producing images that are strikingly close to real life.</li>
<li><strong>The Power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Processing</strong><br />
Driving the experience is the <strong>Micro RGB AI Engine</strong>, powered by Samsung’s advanced chipset. Using 128 AI neural networks, the processor analyses content in real time to optimise every scene. The AI engine controls each RGB light individually to enhance colours, sharpen motion and upscale lower-resolution content to stunning 4K quality.</li>
</ul>
<h3></h3>
<h3><strong>A Premium Home Entertainment Experience</strong></h3>
<p>Beyond its breakthrough display technology, the Micro RGB television integrates a range of advanced features designed to elevate the home viewing experience:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Micro RGB Colour Booster Pro</strong> – AI-powered colour enhancement for richer, more vibrant visuals</li>
<li><span><strong>Dolby Atmos</strong></span> – cinematic sound powered by built-in top-channel speakers</li>
<li><strong>Glare-Free Screen<a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4"><span><sup>[4]</sup></span></a> – comfortable viewing anytime with reduced reflections, ensuring clear, distraction-free visuals even in bright rooms</strong></li>
<li><strong>Object Tracking Sound</strong> – audio that follows the movement on screen for realistic immersion</li>
<li><strong>Q-Symphony<a href="#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5"><span><sup>[5]</sup></span></a> – synchronised sound between Samsung TVs and compatible soundbars</strong></li>
<li><strong>Metal SuperSlim Design</strong> – a refined, premium metal frame that complements the expansive 115-inch display</li>
<li><strong>Vision AI Companion<a href="#_ftn6" name="_ftnref6"><span><sup>[6]</sup></span></a> – enhanced search and voice interaction powered by <span>Bixby<a href="#_ftn7" name="_ftnref7"><span><sup>[7]</sup></span></a> </span></strong></li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With Micro RGB, Samsung demonstrates that the future of television lies not only in bigger screens but in smarter, more precise control of light and colour. By combining microscopic LED technology with advanced AI processing, the company is redefining how images are created, displayed and experienced.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As Samsung continues to push the boundaries of display innovation, the Micro RGB television signals a new era where colour, intelligence and design converge to deliver the most immersive viewing experience yet.</p>
