Samsung Launches New SUHD and UHD Line Up
Samsung has started shipping its new line of 4K Smart TVs in the U.S. market, which have the brand-new Tizen operating system. Samsung's premium Curved SUHD TVs feature the company's proprietary Cadmium-free nano-crystal technology, combined with Samsung’s Peak Illuminator to produce a wider color range and brightness. Samsung also incorporates local dimming technologies to minimize black loss and improve contrast.
All 2015 Samsung Smart TVs feature the Tizen Operating System. This Smart TV platform incorporates a new user interface to access popular streaming content and includes the Quick Connect feature that enables easy connection with select mobile devices for a second screen experience.
Samsung Smart TVs can be controlled by select Samsung Galaxy smartphones, offering wireless access to movies, and later this year photos, and music stored on other devices. With one press of a button users can share any content from their select Samsung smartphone or tablet with their TV, while still browsing or chatting on their mobile device.
As a founding member of the newly formed UHD Alliance, Samsung joins Hollywood studios, content distributors, other consumer electronics brands, post-production and video technology companies to help define, and set a standard to ensure the availability of UHD content.
For 2015, Samsung is offering four new series of Curved SUHD TVs and four new series of UHD TVs that will vary in display size from 40-inches to 88-inches.

Heightened levels of color are reached with Samsung’s PurColor technology. The new series of Samsung curved screens also come with the One Connect Box, which houses the essential "brains" of the TV and enables consumers to switch out the box in order to stay up to date on the most current UHD standards.
