Samsung latest 8K TVs are thin but brimming with tech

Have you just purchased yourself a new TV? Well Samsung is here to make you regret that decision with a new range of 8K QLED TVs.

The new lineup of TVs will be on show at CES 2020 which kicks off tomorrow in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Aside from an 8K resolution, the new 2020 QLED 8K TVs will boast artificial intelligence which will improve audio and video quality. Samsung’s Tizen operating system will be installed on these TVs too.

The flagship TV in the 2020 lineup is the Q950TS and it is bursting with technology while still being incredibly skinny at just 15mm.

Of course you may note a problem with this TV – there isn’t all that much content in 8K right now. To address this, Samsung has fitted the Q950TS with a Quantum Processor 8K. This tech allows the TV to upscale content to 8K on a pixel-by-pixel basis.

Samsung also boasts about how it’s using AI to improve audio.

The Q950TS is nearly bezel-less.

Software called Object Tracking Sound+ matches audio with the movement of objects on the screen. We’re curious to see how a feature such as this would translate in real world use.

For folks who watch TV in noisier environments Active Voice Amplifier will boost voices in content should a blender or vacuum start up.

Other features include support for Bixby – Samsung’s personal assistant – as well as Samsung TV Plus which grants access to nearly 100 channels including Bon Appétit, VEVO, Outside TV+ and more. There’s also Digital Butler which Samsung says can be used to control other devices in your home so long as they have infrared capabilities.

AIScaleNet seems like a great feature. This technology will reportedly prevent data loss when streaming content from a partnered provider. In that regard Samsung says its working with Amazon to deliver content in this manner.

As to price there is no word just yet on how much the Q950TS will cost or indeed whether it will come to South Africa.
