Last year, more than 7 out of 10 TVs sold by Samsung Electronics in the global TV market were smart TVs, at Video & Audio Center our percentage of smart TV sales was even higher. According to market researcher IHS Markit, smart TV sales in the global market has exceeded 60 percent, which is a significant leap from 35 percent in 2013, demonstrating the growing demand for easy and convenient smart functions.
Samsung Electronics is one of Video & Audio Center's manufacturers that are leading
the change by strengthening the intelligent function of its 2018 QLED TVs with
artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT). This year’s QLEDTVs have dramatically simplified the consumer process for utilizing their TV,
from the first set-up to connection with other devices. What’s more, the TVs
are now able to share content with, and control, connected devices. These are
the result of Samsung’s efforts to innovate the user experience based on the
company’s understanding of consumer usage and by incorporating the intelligent
assistant Bixby and the SmartThings IoT platform.
Effortless Set-up Once You Install the SmartThings App on Your Mobile Devices
The first step, of course, is to
get the system set up – by taking just a few simple steps. When setting up for
the first time, the TV will automatically connect to a user’s Samsung
smartphone, or any mobile device with the SmartThings app installed, and take
the user to the set-up step. The network information on the user’s smartphone
will be shared, instantly connecting the TV to the Wi-Fi network it is
connected to. If the user’s mobile is already linked to a Samsung Account, that
information will also be shared with the TV.
IoT Devices Connected by a Single App
According
to a survey by business solution provider CSG, 9 out of 10 consumers already
own IoT devices, and half of consumers expect IoT to make tasks easier around
the home. But, the process of connecting the TV to the peripherals tends to be
a hassle for many. The 2018 QLED TV has tackled such challenges once and for all
with ‘SmartThings,’ an integrated IoT platform that’s available now.

New Family Messenger in the Living Room
TV has made it easier than ever
to review the pictures and videos taken on a smartphone through the Gallery
app. Photos and video clips can be uploaded on Samsung Cloud which is connected
to the user’s Samsung account, ready to be viewed on a big screen. When you
take a picture on your mobile while you are traveling, you can immediately
share your memories with your family as soon as a notification is uploaded to
the TV. The Gallery app enables users to share the same content on the family
hub.
No More Multiple Remote Controls. Just Speak to Bixby.
The QLED TV has been equipped with ‘One Remote Control’ function, which can control various peripherals with one remote control. In particular, this year it not only supports game consoles, OTT (Over the Top) boxes and speakers, but also audio products connected with optical cables.
Bixby Voice also helps make
navigating the QLED TV easier. By pressing and holding the remote control voice
recognition button, it is possible to search content as well as set up a TV
without having to operate it several times. It’s a strength that users can find
various VOD (Video on Demand) contents such as Amazon, Hulu, and HBO as well as
the contents of the set-top box. Users can also get additional information like
the soundtrack while watching TV. For example, say “What is this song” to find
out what music is playing in the background.
Also, devices connected on SmartThings are voice-controlled. With Bixby, users can have a home IoT
experience where everything flows smoothly.
“This
year’s smart features of QLED TV have made it easier for users to enjoy the TV
experience more conveniently.” said Heeman Lee, Vice President of Samsung
Electronics’ Visual Display Business. “We will realize home IoT that changes
the lifestyle by various connected devices communicating organically.”
