Samsung claims 100% colour volume and 4000 nits peak brightness for its new Q900R series of QLED Quantum Dot LCD TVs, that will be available in 65" (€4,999.-), 75" (€6,999.-) and 85" (€14,999.-). Samsung has priced its TVs at exactly the same price points as LG has announced for its 8K OLED TVs.
For a start, each QLED TV is certified to deliver 100 percent color volume, which means accurate colors at any brightness level. This helps the TVs express subtle details in both bright and dark scenes, and produce vibrant HDR (high dynamic range) images that bring content to life.<\q>
But what colour volume, Rec. 709 (HD), DCI P3, NTSC, or the Rec. 2020 space as specified for 4K/8K?
QLED 8K’s combination of perfect color volume, optimized contrast and support for the Samsung-spearheaded HDR10+ open standard allows it to foster truly cinematic viewing experiences. The TV’s 4,000-nit peak brightness matches the content mastering standard for major film and TV studios’ Blu-ray releases, while its HDR10+ technology leverages dynamic metadata to optimize contrast and colors from scene to scene to ensure that content is displayed in the manner that filmmakers intended.<\q>
To enable users to enjoy as much 8K content as possible, the TV also features Samsung’s proprietary Quantum Processor 8K. This innovative addition recognizes content—whether it’s transmitted via a streaming service, set-top box, HDMI, USB, or even mobile mirroring— and automatically upscales its sound and images into near-8K quality using machine-learning 8K AI Upscaling technology. This enables consumers to view just about any movie or show on any channel in crisp 8K, regardless of the video’s native resolution or method of transmission.
The upscaling technology is compatible with all types of content, including standard definition, HD, FHD and UHD, but its optimization is most dramatic when the original source is a 4K UHD image. <\q>
There is no mention of an HDMI 2.1 or other 8K compatible input, so does it rely exclusively on upscaling?
Edit: The Connect Box will have HDMI 2.1 8K input, a single fiber cable going from the box to the TV.
Samsung will decide what we will hear. If what samsung thinks we want to hear aligns with what I want to hear this might be an interesting feature, as most audio mixes are not very audible, as musical bedding, sound effects and other noise scramble the dialog and other wanted audio. If not,let's sayy i want the commentor that is outshouted bybthe crowd anyway,then pumping the crowd will make the viewer curse Samsung.
QLED 8K’s AI Upscaling technology also includes a sound optimization function, which automatically analyzes content’s sound from scene to scene to foster the most immersive experience possible. When watching a football game, for instance, when a player makes a big play, the sound may amplify the audience’s cheers to recreate the excitement of being there in person. After the play, the TV may emphasize the commentators’ voices as they break down what just happened. There’s no need to raise the volume to hear what’s being said; QLED 8K will do it for you.<\q>
