Singapore – April 13, 2022 – Today, Samsung Electronics Singapore unveiled its 2022 lineup of Neo QLED TVs, Lifestyle TVs and Soundbars, demonstrating advancements in picture and sound quality, larger screen size selections, customisable accessories, and an upgraded Smart TV interface. They are designed to bring user experiences closer to reality by delivering lifelike visuals, immersive sound, and hyper-personalised experiences.
Samsung's 2022 portfolio is built on the vision of 'Screens Everywhere, Screens for All', with televisions serving as the hub of consumers' homes for entertainment, connectivity, work and more. Additionally, the new soundbars have improved features to enable seamless connectivity, enhanced customisation, and integration, as well as better audio and visual synchronisation from scene-to-scene.
Steven Koh, Director, Consumer Electronics Business (TV/AV), Samsung Electronics: "The role of TVs has shifted dramatically in recent years as a result of technology advancements and changes in how entertainment is delivered. We want to provide consumers with a truly immersive visual and audio experience with our new 2022 lineup, particularly with our revolutionary Neo QLED technology. Whether you're a cinephile, a gamer, or an art aficionado, Samsung offers cutting-edge products that can complement any setting. Samsung's ongoing efforts to develop new revolutionary TVs and soundbars also further contribute to our position as the number one global TV manufacturer.”
Evolution of Neo QLED with Neo Quantum Processor and Dynamic Sound Experience
The 2022 Neo QLED 8K will take screen experiences to new heights, with pristine images and immersive soundscapes. It boasts the Neural Quantum Processor 8K, which features 20 independent neural AI networks that analyse the characteristics and picture quality of the content to provide optimal viewing regardless of the source. The new Shape Adaptive Light technology leverages the Processor's powerful AI algorithms to detect lines, shapes, and surfaces and control the shape of light emitted by the breakthrough Quantum Mini LED backlight, maximising the brightness and accuracy of shapes on the screen.
The Neural Quantum Processor 8K also powers a new technological innovation — Real Depth Enhancer. This scans the screen and maximises contrast with the background by enhancing the object while keeping the background unprocessed. It works similarly to the way our human eyes perceive images in real life so the object on screen stands out against the background.
In fact, Samsung’s all new 2022 QLED received the world’s first ‘Pantone Validated’ certification in display from Pantone, the global authority on colour and creator of the Pantone Matching System (PMS) — meaning the models authentically reproduce more than 2,000 colours as well as the newly added 110 skin tone shades found in Pantone’s guidelines. Additionally, these brilliant colours are comfortable to watch with the new EyeComfort Mode. The feature uses AI technology to automatically adjust the brightness and colour temperature of the screen based on how light or dark the room is combined with the detected sunset/sunrise information to optimise the most comfortable viewing experience.
The Neo QLED's sound capabilities have also been greatly enhanced. The TV now includes both the patented Object Tracking Sound technology and Dolby Atmos®, enabling upwards and side firing speakers to deliver the perfect cinematic experience right in the comfort of your own home. Samsung’s Neo QLED is also the industry's first television to support Dolby Atmos.
Award-Winning Lifestyle TVs with Seamless Integration of Design and TechnologyThe Frame (2022)
Samsung Lifestyle TVs were designed to inspire more unique and personalised living environments by blending design and technology. Along with the benefits of 4K QLED technology, The Frame, The Sero, and The Serif now boasts a new Matte Display with anti-glare, anti-reflection, and anti-fingerprint features. This significantly reduces light reflections, allowing users to see what is shown on the screen clearly. In addition, the artworks presented in Art Mode are now more realistic than before.
Furthermore, the new Matte Display on Samsung’s 2022 Lifestyle screens received three verifications from UL (Underwriter Laboratories) for being ‘Reflection Glare Free’, ‘Discomfort Glare Free’ and ‘Disability Glare Free’.
Consumers can also match their TVs with accessories to further enhance the products' ability to complement consumers' individual preferences while elevating their overall home aesthetic.
