Samsung 2016 SUHD TVs & Soundbars Tour

Jason Foo, Head of Samsung Malaysia’s AV Business Unit, gave us a tour of all the latest 2016 SUHD TVs and soundbars from Samsung. In addition to introducing the new models, he gave us a quick rundown on their key technologies, and why they matter.

He also touched on the latest trends in TV technologies.

 

Samsung 2016 SUHD TVs & Audio Products

We first saw the 2016 SUHD TVs at the Samsung SEA Forum 2016. Their pioneering Quantum Dot display technology promises “stunning brightness, exceptional contrast and the most life-like colour expressions ever before seen in a 4K TV“. The Samsung 2016 SUHD TVs also have a beautiful bezel-less curved design that not only offer a more immersive viewing experience, but also look beautiful at every angle, thanks to its “360° design”.

Featuring a new Smart Hub function, Samsung’s 2016 SUHD TVs now automatically detect and recognize all connected home entertainment devices, making it possible for users to control items like set-top boxes, Blu-ray players, game consoles, and home theatre systems with no setup required.

Samsung also revealed their latest its audio products, including the HW-K950 Soundbar. This the first Samsung soundbar to feature Dolby Atmos, and the industry’s first soundbar package to include two Dolby Atmos-enabled wireless rear speakers. The complete HW-K950 package delivers 5.1.4-channel sound, promising an immersive cinematic audio experience.

Also joining the ensemble is Samsung’s first Ultra HD Blu-ray Player, the HDR-compatible UBD-K8500. It offers 4X the resolution and 64X higher colour expression than conventional Blu-ray players. The UBD-K8500’s built-in up-scaling technology enhances the picture quality from standard Blu-ray discs, DVDs and even CDs.

We will soon have videos and more details and specifications of the following Samsung products, so please check back for the links shortly :
