Starting from next month, Samsung will make available in the U.S. its new curved and UHD TVs including the U9000 Series (starting from $4,000), along with its portfolio of home audio products.
Samsung's new 2014 Curved UHD TVs deliver a wider field of view and a panoramic effect that makes the display seem even bigger than it is, from virtually any viewing position or angle. They offer four times the resolution and pixels of Full HD and support UHD Upscaling through a four-step process that includes signal analysis, noise reduction, upscaling and detail analysis. UHD Dimming technology also helps to further optimize picture quality by processing each block of a picture to deliver improved contrast.
Samsung's UHD TVs support today's standards -- including HEVC, HDMI 2.0, MHL 3.0 and HDCP 2.2. They are also future-ready, thanks to the Samsung UHD Evolution Kit. The One Connect Box essentially houses the brains of the TV externally, enabling users to switch out the box with the latest Samsung UHD Evolution Kit to stay up to date on the latest UHD standards.
Samsung has recently announced a stronger partnership with 20th Century Fox to offer ultra-high-definition content through its UHDTVs. Samsung also announced at the International CES in January that it was working with Paramount in order to secure UHD content for its customers and that US company Comcast would be launching an app for Samsung Smart TV sets that would allow owners to access HUD content via internet streaming.
In 2014, Samsung is rolling out four new series of UHD TVs.
Samsung's 105" curved UHD TV features a cinematic 21 x 9 aspect ratio and 11 million pixels. It will be available in the second half of the year.
Samsung's U9000 curved UHD TV promises to deliver life-like UHD picture quality, enhanced by Samsung's proprietary Auto Depth Enhancer, an algorithm that analyzes regions of images and automatically adjusts contrast for a greater sense of depth. Color is further enhanced on these sets with Samsung's PurColor technology and Peak Illuminator & Precision Black, which maximizes brightness range. The new series of Samsung curved screens can also be wall-mounted out of the box with regular mounts compatible with VESA Standards. Samsung's U9000 Curved UHD TV will be available from March in a 55" model for $3,999.99 and 65" for $4,999.99. A 78" model will also be released later this year for $7,999.99.
Samsung's U8700 curved UHD TV series features Precision Black local dimming, a thinness of 1.2 inches and a narrow 7mm (0.27-inch) bezel. The U8700 will be available late Spring in 55" and 65" screen sizes, but Samsung did not provide pricing details.
Samsung's U8550 UHD TV series includes flat models featuring Smart TV capabilities and Samsung's proprietary UHD Dimming. The Samsung U8550 UHD TV will be available from March in a 55" model for $2,999.99 and a 65" model for $3,999.99.
