New QLED TVs, Available at Video & Audio Center, feature Direct Full Array, Bixby and Ambient
Mode
for even better picture quality, intuitive control and seamless design.
Earlier this month, Samsung unveiled its 2018 home entertainment lineup at the
company’s First Look Event in New York. Samsung highlighted details about its
flagship QLED TV models and its expanded lineup of UHD, Premium UHD and
Ultra-Large Screen TVs. With groundbreaking design elements, enhanced picture
quality, and intuitive smart capabilities, Samsung’s 2018 QLED line empowers
consumers to enjoy content without distractions – even when viewers are not
actively watching.
“Our 2018 lineup of televisions are truly our most
innovative and sophisticated yet, designed for today’s consumer who is mindful
of the aesthetics of their space,” said Jong-hee Han, President of Visual
Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “We are excited for consumers to
experience our new TV lineup and features that offer more freedom to decide
where and how the TV can be best enjoyed within the home.”
Samsung’s 2018 line features new innovations that enrich the
lives of consumers by reimagining how TV integrates into the living room, how
consumers enjoy their content, and how they interact with their devices.
Highlights of the 2018 lineup include:
Ambient Mode
Ambient mode provides useful information throughout the
day – even when consumers aren’t actively watching movies and TV. It can play
music as well as display news headlines, traffic reports, and weather updates.
For wall-mounted TVs, Ambient Mode can mimic the pattern on the wall behind the
TV to create an astonishing visual effect in which the TV blends seamlessly
into the wall.

One Invisible Connection*
The new One Invisible
Connection is one slim cable that combines both consumer’s power and AV data to
the TV. Available up to 15 meters, it frees consumers from having to place
their TV near data or power outlets.

Smart TV, Featuring Bixby
The QLED line’s smart capabilities offer revolutionary ways
to set up the TV and find content. Effortless Login uses the new SmartThings
app** to drastically reduce the time it takes to set up a new TV. The new
Universal Guide enables consumers to navigate across supporting streaming
services and live TV through one intuitive menu. And with Samsung’s
intelligence platform, Bixby,*** consumers can use voice commands to bring up
their favorite shows and control compatible devices.
Direct Full Array
The Q8F and Q9F QLED TVs
deliver stunning images with pristine contrast through Direct Full Array (DFA)
technology. Direct Full Array uses a panel with zones of smartly controlled
backlighting that adjust automatically to deliver deep blacks and pure whites.
Audio Lineup
Samsung offers four new audio products that offer clear and
immersive sound tailored to the different ways that individual consumers set up
and use their home theater systems.
