The company's latest 4K QLED displays are set to start shipping later this month.
Samsung has officially unveiled pricing and availability for its new 2018 lineup of QLED Ultra HD TVs. The collection includes the Q9F, Q8F, Q7F, Q7C, and Q6F series. And be sure to check out our full hands-on impressions of the lineup HERE.
"Our 2018 lineup of televisions are truly our most innovative and sophisticated yet, designed for today’s consumer who is mindful of the aesthetics of their space," said Jong-hee Han, President of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. "We are excited for consumers to experience our new TV lineup and features that offer more freedom to decide where and how the TV can be best enjoyed within the home."
The 2018 QLED displays all feature quantum dot technology for enhanced color and contrast, Smart TV functions with Bixby Voice control, and playback support for standard HDR10 and the new dynamic HDR10+ format. In addition, the TVs all offer a new Ambient Mode, which can display headlines, traffic reports, and weather updates throughout the day. Likewise, when the display is wall-mounted, Ambient Mode can even reproduce the appearance of a customer's wall directly on the actual screen, allowing the display to seamlessly blend into a user's room. Finally, the step-up Q8F and flagship Q9F models also add Direct Full Array technology with a panel of controllable backlight zones to offer superior black levels and contrast.
