Besides picture and sound quality, Samsung QLED TVs support ‘Smart Screen’ AI capabilities. These features include:

• Quantum Dot AI combines Samsung’s 8K content processor with Tizen to upscale any content. Regardless of source or current resolution, content can now be displayed across 33 million pixels.
• Adaptive Picture analyses light conditions as well as the content on the screen to ensure perfect picture quality, regardless of whether TV is watched in a bright or dark room.
• Active Voice Amplifier eliminates background noise. It automatically recognises these interruptions and adjusts voice clarity accordingly.
• Objecting Tracking Sound+ (OTS+) creates a three-dimensional sound effect by combining the multiple speakers on the top, side and bottom of the TV with a proprietary AI algorithm. OTS+ matches audio with the on-screen action.
• Q-Symphony is a multi-speaker implementation. For the first time, 2020 QLED TVs will keep the top and side speakers active when attaching a Samsung Q Series soundbar to give a richer surround sound.
