The annual CES Consumer Electronics Show is the first show of various new TV products, but this time the new TV released by Samsung does have a lot of new features.
The most worth mentioning is the 8K QLED TV named Q950TS, compared to last year’s Samsung 8K TV , this time Samsung further Reduced the border of the screen, the thickness of the whole machine is reduced to 15mm, the narrowest part of the border is only 2.3mm.
Samsung also emphasized that this TV uses the design of “Infinity Screen”, which makes the front display area reach 99%, which means that only 1% of the area is occupied by the frame.
▲ You can only see these black edges if you are very close
We also personally experienced this new product at the Samsung conference. As can be seen from the picture, as long as the distance is close enough, you can still clearly see the black edges of this TV.
To be precise, the left and right sides and the upper half have the same width of the black border, only the bottom black border is slightly wider.
▲ normal television watching distance, its appearance is such that
That being said, after all, TV is not a smart phone in our hands. Whether you can feel the existence of these black borders depends on the viewing distance. We consider watching TV will not close staring at the screen, and are basically 75 inches 8K TV started, once I separated 56 meters, basically not aware of the existence of the dark side.
At the other end of the booth, Samsung also released a color contrast display of the left and right half screens, and Samsung’s quantum dot screen colors are indeed impressive, but these effects are still the most obvious when viewed at the scene, just looking at the pictures May be discounted.
According to Samsung ’s introduction at the press conference, this Q950TS is equipped with a new quantum processor, which can optimize the video content of FHD, 4K and other resolutions to 8K and output it through AI and machine learning technology.
In order to ensure the integrity of the transmitted data, Samsung also sought cooperation from content platforms, such as Amazon Prime Video and YouTube.
At the same time, the Q950TS also supports HDR10 +, which can achieve 100% color gamut performance and brightness of up to 4000 nits, while full-array direct-type backlight technology can accurately control the TV’s backlight source and improve picture contrast.
▲ These holes are speakers
Although the frame is reduced as much as possible, this 8K TV still has built-in speakers in the side area, which are the dense small holes you see on the picture, and the TV is also equipped with a dedicated subwoofer. .
▲ There are two more subwoofers on the back of the TV
In terms of sound effects, Samsung also introduced 5.1 stereo surround sound technology called “Object Tracking Sound +”, which allows AI to automatically track the movement of objects in the video to achieve a more immersive directional audio effect.
In terms of software, Q950TS also supports Samsung ’s own Bixby voice service, as well as Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant, enabling voice search for video content and TV shows. You can also use the built-in digital butler to make the TV act as a control center and directly link with other smart homes.
In addition to the new 8K TV, Samsung also released a vertical-design TV “Sero” at CES2020.
This product has previously been shown in Korea , mainly to attract heavy users of Instagram and tremolo short videos, Allowing them to cast the vertical screen content on the mobile phone to the TV for better viewing. It is a hybrid product that combines traditional TV with new trends.
Of course, Sero also has a rotatable stand on the back. If you project a horizontal screen movie on the screen, it will also rotate 90 degrees clockwise to become horizontal. It is used as a normal TV.
Samsung has also updated its main artistic style Frame TV series. Like the Serif TV we reported before , these TVs can be as ordinary asAs the use of 4K TV, it can also display only one art paintings, in the form of paintings into the home environment, the new light sensor will automatically turn off the screen when you turn off overhead lights to save power.
Samsung added 32, 50, and 75-inch models to the Frame TV series, as well as beige and burgundy red borders; Serif TV added 43, 49, and 55-inch three This new style also supports NFC and Apple’s AirPlay 2 connection.
The last new product is Samsung’s The Wall TV. Like last year, they are still the Samsung Micro-LED panel of commercial products, we will use a modular main ideas, the small size of the screen spliced into a giant video wall, or achieve a variety of sizes.
At the scene, Samsung also exhibited a giant screen of up to 292 inches, but this ultra-large screen is mainly oriented to business scenarios such as concerts and outdoor advertising. For home users, Micro-LED TVs can now choose Sizes are 75, 88, 93, and 110 inches.
Samsung said that the new products released at this CES are expected to be released in 2020. As of now, we do not know their specific pricing and release date.
In summary, increasing the size, removing the bezels, and improving the intelligent functions are still the core selling points of Samsung ’s new products this year. As for the 8K resolution, it is a technology that “you can’t go back without doing it.”
However, considering the influence of the Tokyo Olympic Games and next-generation console sales this year, and the gradual popularization of 5G networks, it can further promote the implementation and popularization of high-resolution audio and video and game content. Of course, consumers are still most concerned about pricing. If the number can be lowered slightly, everyone’s acceptance of 8K TVs will be higher.
