Highlights of Samsung 8K QLED TVs

• Samsung’s proprietary 8K AI Upscaling technology based on machine learning upscales picture and sound quality to 8K regardless of the original source quality or format
• Samsung QLED 8K TVs utilize the Quantum Processor 8K that optimizes audio and video to the specific content on the screen. It creates an even more detailed sound experience by tailoring the audio settings to the specific layout of the room.
• Ambient Mode enables users to apply an interactive background to the virtually bezel-less TV frame, blending it into the living room wall, while displaying information such as weather conditions and time, when it is not in use. It can also display artistic content like photos and works of art.
• With the QLED 8K TVs, the TV will double up as an interactive wall feature that blends in with the interiors.
• Building on the Ambient Mode’s ability to blend in with home interiors, the TV can be hung on the wall with a No Gap Wall-Mount, intelligently embedded on the back of the TV so that it blends in seamlessly.
• The One Invisible Connection and One Connect Box on Samsung’s QLED TV range do away with unsightly wires dangling from the TV.
• QLED 8K TVs also recognize and analyze a number of connected entertainment devices like audio devices connected via optical cable with the One Remote Control, then automatically switches the TV’s image source and audio output for an optimized viewing experience.
