When John and Mary first bought their beloved Quantum dot TV (and met the Quantum dot brothers), they checked reputable TV buying guide websites seeking reliable information that helped them choose the Quantum dot TV.

Still, they didn’t know just how extraordinary the Quantum dot TV was going to be. It’s a few years on now but they still enjoy all their Quantum dot TV has to offer and have learned to get the most out of the different available TV display settings suited to their viewing habits. The big thing they’ve discovered is that Quantum dot TV’s Quantum dot technology with UHD upscaling and user setting options makes for a TV that goes the distance. And Quantum dot TV’s superior longevity all starts at the Quantum dot level.

Quantum dots go the distance

These Quantum dots are durable. Being inorganic, they are more resistant to oxidation than organic substances. When the Quantum dot brothers were produced—as with all their relatives found in Quantum dot TV displays—they had a quad-layer coat applied to them that ensures they maintain stability over the course of their life. Quantum dots maintain excellent picture quality year after year, especially in regards to consistent of white balance and the brightness and vibrancy of the various colors they produce.

Upscales and gives life to your favorite content, old and new

The Quantum dot TV can even make sure your favorite TV shows and movies never get old. That’s thanks to the Remastering Engine—one of the Quantum dot TV’s advanced features that upscales non-UHD content to UHD level resolution.¹ The impressive picture quality that arrives on your Quantum dot TV display is the result of technology that employs 4 stages of signal analysis and optimization. Even your old favorite TV shows, movies and games will look better than ever—now and into the future.

Quantum dots look forward to a brighter future with HDR+

John and Mary’s 2016 Quantum dot TV was automatically upgraded with the latest HDR+ firmware update, becoming ready to further enhance the already high picture quality and stay at the leading edge of image quality. Both Standard Dynamic Range (SDR) and High Dynamic Range (HDR) content look better than ever once HDR+ goes to work to enhance brightness and contrast. Simply put, it brings out whiter whites and brings out the fine details even in the darker shadows. Who knew the Quantum dot brothers would just keep getting better?

Quantum dots for a healthy TV display and a healthy planet

Quantum dots do their best to stay healthy so it’s unlikely John and Mary will have screen burn-in problems over the course of their Quantum dot TV’s life.² Quantum dots are not as susceptible to screen burn-in as other materials found in displays made of organic materials. That means a longer TV display lifespan and creates the possibility of enjoying excellent picture quality for years to come. And it follows that keeping a TV for longer means less wasted resources which is better for the environment. Consider another important fact—the Quantum dots inside the Quantum dot TV have been carefully engineered and manufactured to be free of the toxic heavy metal, cadmium. It can be said in confidence that our little cadmium-free Quantum dot TV-dwelling Quantum dot friends aren’t going to harm the environment or the humans in it.

And so we come to the end of our sneak peek into the Quantum dot TV viewing lives of John and Mary. With some kind assistance from the ever-cordial Quantum dot brothers, we’ve discovered a whole lot about the incredible world of Quantum dots and why the Samsung Quantum dot TV is a serious contender when considering a new TV for your home—especially if you’re looking for a TV that will be with you for years to come. With its massive range of incredibly vibrant colors, versatility in different lighting conditions and long lifespan, this isn’t just a TV—it’s a life partner.

²Burn-in is a permanent defect in areas of a TV display caused by cumulative effects of displaying the same image or scene for long periods of time.

Feel the warmth of the sun as it sets in the sky. It peeks from behind the clouds, turning the sky several vibrant shades of red, with each hue shown true to life. Quantum dot technology sends you into the sky, witnessing a stunning sunset visage from the comfort of your own home.

Every tree in a forest has its own story and every leaf helps tell that tale. Quantum dot technology brings out the bright green hues of each individual leaf, sending you on a hike through a stunning grove.

Grab a blanket before you press play. Though you’re cozied up on your couch, taking a visual tour of an ice cave on a Quantum dot TV provides such vivid blues and lifelike detail that you may feel a slight chill.

How do Quantum dots work?

Although a Quantum dot is miniscule—more than 10,000 times smaller than a strand of human hair—there are variations of sizes within the dots that provide bold and bright colors. When light is shone through, larger dots emit red, while the smallest dots shine blue. What’s in between those is green, and these three primary colors band together to reproduce every shade of color.

What’s so special about Quantum dots?

No matter what you’re watching, getting involved in what’s on your screen is a thrilling part of any TV session. With colors that span the hues of the rainbow and more, every frame of your favorite movie or every highlight of your sports team is full of rich, sophisticated colors that make what you’re seeing bright and bold. Plus, Samsung’s Quantum dots have been quad-coated to ensure that their pure color remains stable and bright for a long time. And in conjunction with High Dynamic Range (HDR) technology, Quantum dots express the complex colors of real life and enhance the details of the image, so you can feel like you’re on scene with lifelike visuals.

John and Mary are a couple. They have been shopping around for a new big screen TV and have finally chosen a Samsung SUHD TV based largely on its amazing Quantum dot color abilities. John is a big sports fan and loves watching all the big matches of the season on a bigger TV display. Mary gets into her favorite TV series and can be found racking up her viewing hours whenever there’s a chance to sit back and relax. But they both look forward to the times they’ll have to snuggle up together on the couch and watch a good movie on their new big screen TV. The thing is, it’s not just John & Mary in this story. They’ve also found three new little buddies, the Quantum dot brothers, who regularly venture out from the Quantum dot TV display, and want to help them get the most Quantum dot color magic out of their new SUHD TV.

How the Quantum dots in SUHD TV work

The Quantum dots in their SUHD TV are a relatively new discovery. Back in the 1980s scientists began experimenting with nanoparticles and discovered that by adjusting the size of the Quantum dot particles that they could in effect render different colors across the spectrum with extremely high precision. And so it has been applied to TV technology. When the light source hits a Quantum dot in the SUHD TV display some of the energy is absorbed and then re-emitted as a longer wavelength dependent on the size of the particle. The resulting colors are incredibly pure so the images that appear on their big screen TV are wonderfully vibrant, all thanks to our Quantum dots brothers working diligently together.

Vivid & vibrant–Quantum dot color

By adjusting the size of our tiny Quantum dot particle friends, a billion different colors can be expressed for more realistic images on John and Mary’s big screen TV. What’s more, their SUHD TV utilizes 10-bit panels for 64 times the color expression of conventional 8-bit panel TVs—a much greater range of colors than what you’re used to seeing on 8-bit panel TV displays. Like both Red and Mary said, the resulting images are vivid and vibrant!
Our friends the Quantum dot brothers can certainly can express an incredible range of colors to deliver stunning images on the SUHD TV but they also have a few other tricks up their sleeves. Stay tuned to find out more about the many talents of the Quantum dot brothers in the next installment of our story.
