2018 Samsung QLED TV: See Nothing Else

This week, the 2018 Samsung QLED TV lineup made its global debut at the American Stock Exchange building in Manhattan.

Why 100% Color Volume Will Change Your View
Color volume is a way of describing how a TV can render color and create a range of tones based on luminance-a measure of light-levels. Depending on the luminance, colors can look different and give objects on the screen more or less of a 3D feel. The color volume determines the specific colors you see on your TV, so the higher the color volume, the greater the range of vivid, authentic color. Because Samsung QLED TV is a TV verified to express 100% color volume, it can display a vast range of graphic, lifelike colors, even on a super bright HDR screen.* -
How QLED TV Makes Movie Night Even Better
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. 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. -

What you need to know when you’re mounting a TV
There are three main factors to think about when preparing to mount your TV: location, eye level, and viewing distance. Taking these measurements and ideas into consideration is very important for an optimal TV experience. You know the old saying, measure twice, cut once? Here it’s measure twice, drill once! For location, it’s not just room. You likely have an idea of which room to put it in, but which wall is important too. Determine which area would best suit your décor and keep the room comfortable. A wall not directly facing the window is also good too, to reduce potential glare (although QLED TVs have Ultra Black technology built in to help reflect glare too!) And regarding eye level height, you’ll need to get the measuring tape ready! Depending on your height and whether you’re on the couch or in bed, the eye level measurement is going to be different. Finally, viewing distance. If you read our <b><a href="/global/tv/blog/how-to-choose-your-ideal-tv-a-tv-buying-guide-for-2017.html" target="_blank">TV buying guide</a></b>, you’re already a pro on viewing distance and you know that the viewing distance is also important to ensure that you get the highest-quality images on-screen. The recommended distance is 1.5–2.5x the diagonal screen measurement for UHD (1080p) TVs, and 1–1.5x that measurement for QLED (4K) TVs. Once you know where you’re mounting the TV, you may need to move some furniture slightly for the ideal view. Luckily, 2017 Samsung TVs provides colorful, crisp, and detailed picture quality at many angles, so everyone in the house can enjoy it. Plus, the No-Gap Wall Mount allows you to make some adjustments after mounting for comfort, too. -

What is 4K TV and How It’s Here to Get the Party Started
You know what, that’s a great question! 4K refers to the resolution of a TV, and 4K is an even higher resolution than 1080p TVs, providing crisp, quality images on screen. This is especially evident when paired with HDR, which enhances the contrast on screen to make the details in brightest white and deepest black areas shine through. So 4K and HDR are a power combination that we’ve added to the lifelike color of Quantum dots to get 100% color volume and take picture quality to the next level.<sup>*</sup> And when QLED TV is in your home, it’s going to be the life of the party—whether that’s a viewing party for the big game, a movie premiere night, an all-day video game fest, or an all-night pajama party. 4K and HDR together make your Samsung QLED TV a centerpiece that’s sure to entertain your guests.<sup>†</sup> -

Evolution of the Smart Remote Control
TV remote controls have been around for almost as long as TVs themselves. If you have any relatives that were abreast of the leading TV tech in the 1950s they may just remember the first (but finicky) wired TV remotes that would trip your pets or kids up. And then there were the remotes that worked fine as long as you pointed them at the sensor correctly. As times changed, more and more TV connectable devices came to prominence. Your grandparents may never have had the need nor the want to connect a new device to their then ‘new-fangled’ TV but you or one of your tech-savvy friends have certainly hooked up at least one such device to a television you have known. Presently, with a few twists and turns along the TV tech road, we have a new standard: One Remote Control and Auto Detection. In a nutshell, One Remote Control and Auto Detection make watching your favorite shows on your Samsung smart TV easy and we’re sure that once you’ve experienced it for yourself you’ll be wondering how you ever lived without it. -

What Do Medieval Stained Glass and SUHD TV’s Quantum Dot Technology Have in Common?

Yet, in the case of the Quantum dot technology found in the Samsung SUHD TV it has only been about 30 years. That is, if you don’t count the back story!

Looking for the Perfect Gift? How About a Big Screen TV.
Seeing your loved one’s face light up on opening your present is an experience like no other. Especially if you’ve spent the last couple of weeks, perhaps months agonizing over the perfect gift. The process of finding one can be incredibly complex. You begin by going over your loved one’s likes, daily habits, sense of style, life goals, anything you think would lead you to the right choice. And then there’s the challenge of actually finding the item, in the color you wanted. The amount of time and thought we put into this human behavior of ours is evident in the sheer amount of literature dedicated to the subject, from listicles to blog posts. And yes, this is another such post. But as you’ve guessed from the title, we’re not going to give you a list of top ten unique gift ideas. We’re suggesting you get that loved one a big screen TV. Preferably, a big screen TV from the Samsung 2016 TV lineup. Especially since the more premium sets, the SUHD TV line to be more exact, all come with Quantum dot displays (more about that later), we believe they are some of the best televisions out there, making them the perfect gift. Wait. A TV? A big screen TV. That’s a gift? That’s one of the most unimaginative gifts you could get someone. We hear you. Bear with us just a bit. There are so many reasons why we think that a big screen TV (the SUHD TV from the Samsung 2016 TV lineup is one particular model that comes to mind) would make an incredible present -- for anyone. The SUHD TV has a Quantum dot display that makes virtually anything and everything you see on the screen come to life. It’s extremely easy to use (easier than most smart TVs you’re probably used to). And it’s beautiful, from any angle, making it quite possibly one of the best televisions out there. But don’t just take our word for it. <blockquote>"Baby I thought this would be just perfect for you. Ever the trendsetter, always ahead of the curve. 360 degrees of simplicity, the Samsung SUHD TV."Paul, husband of Lauren</blockquote> Take for example, Paul and Lauren. They’re celebrating their fifth wedding anniversary.

TV Buying Guide 2016
Most people planning to purchase a new TV, first investigate screen size. The full immersion of viewing a large, high resolution TV is an alluring addition for any living room.
