Raising the Bar for Smartphone Displays, Galaxy S9 Earns DisplayMate’s Highest-Ever A+ Grade

Tue, 13 Mar 2018 11:07:28 +0000

The results 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Galaxy S9 will be available in stores beginning on March 16.

*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’.

Meet The Frame, a TV Designed for Your Space

Thu, 09 Nov 2017 19:44:15 +0000

This is The Frame. It’s not just a TV.

The artistic addition to the 2017 Samsung TV lineup is more than just a TV. It’s Samsung’s The Frame, which not only provides the picture quality you expect from a Samsung UHD TV, but brings a personal touch wherever it’s placed, as it comes with a wide range of artwork available to display—or your own photos.

The Frame is different from your everyday TV in more ways than just its artistic tendencies, too. It’s gorgeous to look at—on or off. So instead of adjusting the decor to the TV or trying to hide it away in a cabinet when it’s not in use, The Frame looks and hangs just like a real frame, so it enhances your interior. But make no mistake, it is a TV.

In fact, the Frame is a 4K UHD TV, ensuring that what you see on screen comes through clearly and with vibrant, stunning color. Not only will movies and TV shows have brilliant hues, your art will too.

The Frame will change how TV fits into your lifestyle

When you turn on The Frame for the first time, you experience the stunning picture quality of a Samsung 4K UHD TV. But tap the power button, and suddenly it’s a painting from your favorite artist. This is Samsung Art Mode, and on The Frame, it adds value and personality to the room. Simply select an artwork or photograph from the Samsung Collection or the Art Store.

This membership allows you to enjoy artwork from famous galleries and museums from around the world, including SAATCHI ART, The Albertina, Magnum Photos, and more. So you can find artwork that can subtly (or dramatically) change your interior to your taste. Not to mention that with a variety of genres to choose from, whether you want photography or paintings, or abstract or landscapes, you’ll find old favorites and discover new pieces.

The Samsung Collection is included with The Frame and has a range of 100 beautiful pieces from 37 different artists to put on display. So right out of the box, you have a wide choice of stunning art that you can browse through. And if you want more choice, you can check out the Art Store, which offers a membership service that grants you access to an even wider art collection.

And personalizing The Frame isn’t only about choosing your favorite artists’ works to show on screen. You can add your own personal touch, as well. By plugging in a USB or uploading from your smartphone, you can display your own photos on The Frame’s large screen.^* So that new family portrait you want to show off to anyone and everyone?

You can do so on The Frame. And for an even more custom display, you’re able to adjust the way the art or your photographs are displayed with a range of mat layout and color options. You can arrange and rearrange to find the display you like best.

^* Some USB flash drives or smartphones may not be compatible with The Frame.

^†The gap is measured from the back of the TV and may differ based on the installation and wall type.

^‡The ‘Invisible Connection’ refers to a single, transparent optical cable connected to the One Connect Box integrating external device cables, but it does not refer to the power cable of the TV or cables connected to other devices such as sound bar.
