Home is where the heart is. And the abode you live in is a great place to build and enjoy your very own Quantum dot home cinema. John and Mary’s Quantum dot TV has already delivered a lot of different kinds viewing—from sports to dramas and beyond—and it performs great under any lighting conditions thanks to a number of advanced features including Ultra Black and HDR 1000. Particularly for optimized daytime viewing, Ultra Black and HDR 1000 work in tandem reducing ambient light reflection and controlling maximum brightness so the images you see on your TV can be experienced in a fashion closer to the original conception of the director. And what’s more, they aid in maintaining marital bliss. See what happened that day when John and Mary had conflicting plans.

Ultra Black reduces reflections

Just like a moth’s eye, by absorbing the ambient light that shines onto the TV from external sources, unwanted reflections on the screen are minimized. At the same time, Samsung’s exclusive Ultra Black technology lets the light from the TV images pass through so you see only the light you should be seeing. John & Mary now experience clearer daytime viewing on their Quantum dot TV. But that’s not all a Quantum dot powered home cinema brings to the viewing party.

HDR 1000 helps maximize image clarity in various lighting conditions

HDR 1000 harnesses the Quantum dot TV‘s greatly expressive range of contrast to bring viewers impressive images with deeper contrast between light and dark colors, more so than TV screens in the past were capable of. HDR 1000 is the Quantum dot TV’s technology that makes blacks look deeply dark and whites vibrantly bright, letting you see the details that matter. Being HDR 1000 capable means the Quantum dot TV is incredibly bright with the ability to produce images at up to 1000 nits. And it’s that difference in brightness and contrast that helps the Quantum dot brothers bring superb images to the big screen of John and Mary’s home cinema in varying lighting conditions—both during the day and the night.

Calibration functions to suit your lighting condition

Even though their Quantum dot TV can automatically optimize its Quantum dot’s incredible range of color and contrast for spectacular clarity of images in different lighting environments, it’s the advanced calibration settings that help John and Mary get even more out of their Quantum dot TV. From the Picture Mode or Expert Settings menu, our happy couple can access Movie and Dynamic modes that help customize the way the Quantum dot screen performs. And that means images are optimized to come to life regardless of the content type and ambient light conditions typically experienced at home.

Night and day, the Quantum dot TV is the one for your home cinema

Quantum dot TV and the clever Quantum dot brothers are really helping to level the playing field between daytime and nighttime viewing. The pesky reflections and problems arising from lack of contrast control are no longer a thing! But can our clever little Quantum dot friends go the distance? Be sure to join John, Mary and the Quantum dot brothers in the next installment of this series to find out about their outstanding longevity!

If you’re in the market for a UHD TV, you’ve likely done a lot of research and decided to go with a Samsung Premium UHD TV. You’ve picked a great time to buy a new TV, because the 2017 lineup of Samsung UHD TVs is truly amazing. Trust us on this one.

You want to know more about it before you take the plunge? Fair enough! We’re happy to give some more information to you—we love talking about TV, especially the Samsung Premium UHD TVs. Meet the MU9, 8, and 7 series TVs.

Each is available in a variety of sizes, and some are flat while others are curved, so you’re able to choose what’s best for your home when you pick up your new UHD TV. And five simple words sum up this lineup: “Innovation is in the details.”

What does that mean for UHD TV? Well just take a peek at these TVs and it’s easy to see. Let’s dive even deeper into the details of UHD TV, including picture quality, sleek exterior details, and the smart features.

Get pulled into every scene with detail from HDR 1000

While UHD 4K technology is a hot topic in the TV world, HDR is what makes the higher resolution really shine for an even grander TV experience. That’s why each Samsung Premium UHD TV offers HDR 1000 for superb details.* As you may know, HDR means High-Dynamic Range and speaks to the brightness of a screen. HDR 1000 is the brightness equivalent of 1000 candles, giving these TVs a bright screen that produces clear detail without affecting the color.

So you can turn up the brightness and still not miss a detail or wash out the view. And when UHD 4K and HDR come together, you can see a movie or show as if you were on set, witnessing it how the creator intended it to be viewed.

To help ensure that the contrast stays bold, whether day or night, MU9 and 8 series TVs offer Ultra Black, which is a technology that helps deflect light on the screen to minimize glare, keeping the dark and black areas on screen as deep as they should be—no reflection of your window or the lamp. So whether you’ve got the curtains open and the sun streaming in or it’s nighttime and you turn on the light, what’s on screen will still come in clear.

Feast your eyes on the stunning picture of UHD 4K TV

It’s all in the name. UHD stands for Ultra High Definition, and as part of that, these are 4K TVs. UHD 4K means more pixels in your TV screen, which in turn means crisp definition of details, only heightened by the true colors and bright

clarity you’ll see. So while HDR ensures it’s bright and clear, just turn on Samsung Premium UHD TVs and you’ll notice incredible, lifelike color on screen. That’s the Dynamic Crystal Color, a collection of one billion colors that can

represent incredible subtle differences in hue.† Say you’re watching a show and the sun is setting over the horizon in the background, you’ll see the variations and gradients that make sunsets so striking in person.

It’s the little design touches that make Samsung Premium UHD TV unique

The Samsung Premium UHD TVs are a sight to see, not just on screen but all around. Take a peek at the back and you’ll see something you may have never seen before: a distinct lack of cables worming their way out from the back of the TV.

That’s right, they’re all tucked away, along with their devices, thanks to the Clean Cable Solution.‡ Instead of plugging them directly into the TV, the devices and consoles can be plugged into the One Connect and placed out of sight (in the cabinet, for example) while the TV cables are routed through the TV’s stand for a super sleek appearance.

Speaking of the back of the TV, by hiding away cables and screws, the entire TV is sleek from front to back. That’s 360 Design, ensuring that wherever you put your TV it’ll add to your decor, and you no longer have to arrange the room to

best hide the back of the TV. Sounds nice, right?

Smart TVs are everywhere, but UHD TVs are even smarter

Smart TV means different things to different people, but to us a smart TV has a lot to do with making your TV experience convenient. That includes eliminating detective work and having your hands full. Samsung Premium UHD TVs automatically recognize connected devices when plugged into the One Connect and displays their name on screen. So when you pull up the Smart Hub, you can instantly know what’s what.

The Premium UHD TVs help clean up on your coffee table, too, because you can select and control it with one remote, aptly named the One Remote Control.‖ We call it that because it’s the one remote that does whatever you’d like to do with your Samsung Premium UHD TV. No more scrambling for the right remote—all you need is the One Remote Control because the One Remote Control is always right.

Of course, if your hand is glued to your mobile phone, no worries there. The Smart View app lets you control Samsung Premium UHD TVs easily, as well as push content to the TV so you can view it on a bigger screen.¶ Then when you want to show off a video you took on vacation, it’s simple.

So to recap on the terrific 2017 Samsung Premium UHD TV lineup…

As you can see, each 2017 Samsung Premium UHD TV is full of features that come from innovation and incredible attention to detail. Whether you want curved or flat, a larger screen for the living room or something to put up in your bedroom, you can’t go wrong.

Each offers beautiful picture quality, wonderful design details that clear up the TV area and add to your interior, and smart features that make your TV time as easy as it should be. Making the decision to purchase a Samsung Premium UHD TV isn’t hard. Picking which Samsung Premium UHD TV is. But rest assured you’ll get a great TV, whichever you choose.
