																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The <a href="http://www.displaymate.com/Galaxy_S9_ShootOut_1s.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">results</a> of DisplayMate Technologies’ comprehensive evaluation of the Galaxy S9’s Infinity Display are in. The world’s leading evaluator of screens has concluded that Samsung’s latest flagship is equipped with “the best performing smartphone display that we have ever tested,” and has awarded the device its highest-ever “Excellent A+” grade.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Although the Galaxy S9’s 3K Quad HD+ OLED Infinity Display features the same size (5.8 inches) and resolution (2960 x 1440) as last year’s Galaxy S8, the new device matches or sets many smartphone display performance records, and outpaces its predecessor in several measures including color accuracy, brightness, outdoor visibility and reflectivity.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Each of the Infinity Display’s screen modes demonstrates record-setting absolute color accuracy, which means that depicted colors are visually indistinguishable from perfect. In Cinema Mode, the Galaxy S9 has been rated to 0.7 JNCD (Just Noticeable Color Difference), a measurement that refers to the bare minimum color difference that the human eye can perceive. The display also features a wide native color gamut – 113 percent of DCI-P3 and 141 percent of sRGB/Rec. 709*; the largest that DisplayMate has ever measured in a smartphone or tablet.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Galaxy S9 offers users the best in terms of image quality and brightness, and features an enhanced High Brightness Mode that allows it to produce vibrant visuals when users need them, such as when they’re under direct sunlight or in other environments with lots of ambient light. The display’s peak brightness of 1,130 nits is approximately 10.7 percent brighter than that of the Galaxy S8.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Galaxy S9 also features a record-setting reflectance score – another measure that’s crucial when it comes to evaluating screen readability, picture quality and color accuracy in bright settings. DisplayMate’s evaluation has found that the display’s screen reflectance level is just 4.4 percent, which is the lowest that the firm has ever measured in a smartphone.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The device is additionally certified by the UHD Alliance for Mobile HDR Premium, which means that the Galaxy S9 is capable of playing the same dynamic 4K HDR (High Dynamic Range) content as 4K UHD premium TVs.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Galaxy S9 will be available in stores beginning on March 16.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><em>*The Galaxy S9 features four screen modes calibrated for different content, applications and user preferences. These measurements reflect the devices’ default screen mode, ‘Adaptive Display’.</em></span></p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As the weather gets colder, the nights get longer. Going out is becoming a hassle and you want nothing more than to curl up by the fire and soak up the warmth. At the same time, you want a little more excitement during these cozy nights in. Well, we have the answer. Time to turn on your QLED TV, turn down the lights and grab some popcorn—it’s movie night! And what better way to get lost in the movie world than with the immersive experience of 4K HDR, HDR 1500, and HDR10+ in one screen?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span style="color: #333399;"><strong>4K HDR takes you from home to home theater</strong></span></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone wp-image-2415 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/topic_how-qled-tv-makes-movie-night-even-better_1.jpg" alt="" width="960" height="540" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/topic_how-qled-tv-makes-movie-night-even-better_1.jpg 960w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/topic_how-qled-tv-makes-movie-night-even-better_1-725x408.jpg 725w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/topic_how-qled-tv-makes-movie-night-even-better_1-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>On movie nights, your home is your theater, so you’ll need a screen that lives up to the in-theater experience. That’s where your QLED TV comes in with its 4K HDR screen, providing that cinematic view you want. How? Well, 4K, also known as Ultra HD, presents you with a high-quality picture when paired with HDR. The combination of the high resolution of 4K draws out the details that HDR provides.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>And you don’t even have to worry about your living room lights. We’ve infused Ultra Black technology into the 4K HDR screen to reduce both reflection and glare, so all you need to prepare for the movie is a delicious snack. Lights on? Lights off? Totally up to you.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong><span style="color: #333399;">With Samsung HDR, the scarier the better</span></strong></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2416" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/topic_how-qled-tv-makes-movie-night-even-better_2.jpg" alt="" width="960" height="540" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/topic_how-qled-tv-makes-movie-night-even-better_2.jpg 960w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/topic_how-qled-tv-makes-movie-night-even-better_2-725x408.jpg 725w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/topic_how-qled-tv-makes-movie-night-even-better_2-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>When you’re picking out the movie, go ahead and gravitate toward your horror film collection. What better way to forget about the cold than with images that will make your heart race? Where previously the movies may not have been as scary as you want, you’ve got an HDR TV that can show you the subtle details on the screen, whether plunged in darkness or hiding amongst the blinding white snow. It’s because QLED TV has HDR 1500 illuminating the screen with a brightness equivalent to 1500 candles. There’s also a new technology called HDR10+ which offers Dynamic Tone Mapping, a feature that maximizes the tones and shades within each scene. With that extra bit of luminosity, you’ll see new sides of your favorite movies.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong><span style="color: #333399;">A summer escape in your QLED TV</span></strong></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2417" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/topic_how-qled-tv-makes-movie-night-even-better_3.jpg" alt="" width="960" height="540" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/topic_how-qled-tv-makes-movie-night-even-better_3.jpg 960w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/topic_how-qled-tv-makes-movie-night-even-better_3-725x408.jpg 725w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/topic_how-qled-tv-makes-movie-night-even-better_3-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Run away from the cold to a summer paradise with your HDR TV. Simply select a summertime movie to start your virtual tropical vacation. Because QLED TV has the New Metal Quantum dot producing color in a beautifully fine and dense manner, it offers hues that look incredibly close to what you see in real life. Pair that lifelike color ability with the incredible detail and brightness of 4K HDR and it takes you right to the heart of summer, immersing you to the point you feel like you are actually there.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span style="color: #333399;"><strong>Winter is gray, but your movies are in vivid color</strong></span></h3>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2418" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/topic_how-qled-tv-makes-movie-night-even-better_4.jpg" alt="" width="960" height="540" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/topic_how-qled-tv-makes-movie-night-even-better_4.jpg 960w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/topic_how-qled-tv-makes-movie-night-even-better_4-725x408.jpg 725w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/topic_how-qled-tv-makes-movie-night-even-better_4-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>It’s not just the New Metal Quantum dots that help produce realistic color. With the help of QLED you can experience 100% color volume of color spectrums known to reach 400-500, meaning that regardless of brightness, tints and shades throughout a color’s spectrum are clear and rich on screen. When combined with HDR on a QLED TV, it means details in vibrant whites and deep blacks can be seen beautifully, so that whether like a fairytale or a natural color scheme, you can watch your movie just as the directors imagined.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong><span style="color: #333399;">Relish the enriched life of QLED TVs</span></strong></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>You can enjoy the breathtaking resolution of your QLED TV with the plethora of HDR content available on Smart Hub. From streaming movies to cloud games (keep this in mind for game night!), it’s an exciting night ahead whatever you decide. But your experience doesn’t end with HDR. With Samsung HDR+ Mode, you can view any of your old favorites in heightened color and detail, even if they weren’t originally filmed in an HDR format.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong><span style="color: #333399;">Now, bring on the popcorn.</span></strong></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>All right, it’s cold out there. So there’s no better time to see the difference of HDR10+, HDR1500, and 4K for yourself. Whether you’re watching haunted horrors or escaping to an island resort on screen, these QLED TV features change the way you think of movie nights. Go on! Try it out and make the fun last to shorten the winter nights.</p>
