Samsungs 2023 TV Lineup Bets Everything On Picture Upgrades And AI Tricks

Samsung shook up the TV market last year with the launch of its first OLED model in years. In addition, it uses a new QD-OLED (quantum dot) panel that offers excellent color vibrancy compared to LG's popular OLED TVs.

2023 will be relatively moderate. Instead of introducing another shiny new TV to its portfolio, Samsung has focused on making everything better going forward. And most of the Neo QLED (mini-LED in Samsung parlance) TVs, QLED (standard LCD TVs) and OLED TVs this year are focused on artificial intelligence and enhanced image processing. For example, a larger, three-dimensional sense of depth, improved zoom, and more. Hardware features you'd expect from more expensive models, including VRR up to 144Hz, are available. But above all, Samsung talks about the software.

This seems to be a CES 2023 theme. The reality is that most of today's luxury TVs are pretty good. Gone are the hassles of developing games at 4K120Hz resolution and other HDMI 2.1 features. Consumers are faced with an unenviable choice between ultra-bright mini LED TVs and ultra-high-contrast OLED screens. So with hardware, TV manufacturers are looking for new software and new image processing techniques to stand out.

New Neo QLED TVs automatically convert SDR to HDR

Take Samsung's new Neo QLEDs, for example. There's a new Auto HDR Remastering feature that "uses AI deep learning technology to analyze high dynamic range (HDR) effects in real time when viewed in a standard dynamic range (SDR) scene." a bit undecided on how this reflects the creator's desire to quantize HDR. But hey, it's optional. The system compares the SDR content with the HDR material and uses deep learning to analyze the differences and then transform.

Samsung has quadrupled the number of dimmable units in its Mini LED range, and the company claims it nearly eliminates fading. TVs use a 14-bit processor to improve shadow quality and reduce compression artifacts that can be seen in many scenes, especially darker ones.

MicroLED screens of the future are getting smaller and more like televisions.

When Samsung introduced The Wall a few years ago, it was a modular micro-LED display that could be created in any size and shape. But more recently, Samsung has shrunk its MicroLED displays while maintaining bezel-less modularity to sizes that resemble more traditional TVs. And for the first time in 2023, it doesn't necessarily require professional installation. Samsung describes the new 76-inch MicroLED CX as "the world's smallest and most affordable MicroLED display."

With unmatched display performance and the latest technology, MicroLED CX heralds a brighter, more luxurious future for consumer TVs. Plus, a 20-bit black level, 240Hz dynamic refresh rate, and 2ns response time make the 76" MicroLD CX the benchmark for image quality, whether you're looking or playing.

Samsung has yet to reveal details on this "very affordable" price, but it's expected to cost more than the company's flagship 8K Neo QLED TV. Remember that micro-LEDs retain many of the advantages of organic LEDs (such as self-illuminated pixels) without the organic disadvantages and longer burn times.

Samsung's strategy to improve Freestyle is to force you to buy two devices.

I wasn't a fan of Samsung's expensive wearable project, The Freestyle. It has a smart and elegant design and many great ideas , but the implementation was very flawed. In 2023, the company runs another test and introduces a new "Edge Blending" feature that "allows two freestylers to sync their projection to an ultra-wide screen."

In these modes, each freestyle transmits half the image, and the total image can be up to 150 inches. It then automatically takes a trapezoidal shape and adjusts to display directly on the wall. Freestyle takes over Samsung's Game Center (including the Xbox app). Unfortunately, Samsung hasn't said if it will offer a better product. But optimized for "metaverse apps". Therefore.

The frame benefits from improvements to fit and finish.

For 2022, Samsung has given the ring a glossy finish that makes Illustration Mode more appealing and a lot less TV-like. This time the improvements are somewhat minor. The company said new metal options "and more realistic wood finishes" will be offered. In addition, you can choose the "Auto Rotate Mount, which is sold separately, which allows you to shoot landscapes or portraits."

Many new software features

Mother of God. Just look at all these things. FaceTime 8K NFT competitor for TV screen. Applications for telemedicine and medical telemonitoring. Significant accessibility improvements. That's on top of anything Samsung has packed into its Tizen TV operating system. Is very.

Art Store – With access to over 2,500 pieces of art collected by world-class galleries, the Art Store allows users to customize the exhibit to suit their personal preferences. In 2023, Art Store 2.0 will offer a more user-friendly experience. Samsung is partnering with the world's leading NFT marketplaces to offer this exclusive content in a new way. The new NFT platform features many curated NFTs and new UI events promoted by Samsung partners and features more than 1,000 artists. Finally, due to the abundance of information about 8K NFT among NFT buyers, Samsung has partnered with Savage, a leading provider, to offer incredible 8K resolution.

Relight Mode - The first technology that allows the visually impaired to enjoy their favorite shows, movies and games without the need for laptops. Remino is Latin for "turn on the light" and enables TVs to use Samsung-developed artificial intelligence to balance elements and colors on the screen with a single click of the remote control. It allows almost anyone to get a better view of people, objects, and text.

Health Monitor – Samsung's first TV-based health monitoring service. Designed for the new Neo QLED TVs, OLED TVs and smart monitors, Samsung's new home health monitoring technology uses an additional detachable camera to give users the ability to monitor their health without invasive physical testing. Samsung Camera Analytics measures five important vital signs: heart rate, heart rate variability, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, and stress index, all at your bedside. It does this with remote photoplethysmography (rPPG), a smart computer vision technology that detects changes in facial skin color due to heartbeat and assesses vital signs.

The system is voluntary, non-contactable, accurate and easy to use.

Samsung Telemedicine: Samsung Telemedicine is a new app designed specifically for our Smart TVs to make telehealth appointments easy on the big screen for those seeking home health care. Users can choose from a list of symptoms, indicate how long they've been there, and the app will suggest suitable doctors. The doctor usually meets for 60 seconds and then conducts the exam via video conference via the app and other devices such as the Samsung Galaxy Watch. Once the trial is complete, users can rate their experience, track or dispense a prescription remotely, or have it delivered directly to their home via an on-screen app.

Chat Together - Chat Together is the world's first TV platform that allows you to connect instantly while watching live TV. It allows you to easily communicate in real time with people outside your home. Additionally, the mobile app on Android and iOS allows users to quickly respond to mobile and TV platforms through a single interface. The entire connection process is done by simply downloading the mobile app and clicking on the BLE popup.

Samsung will announce pricing and availability details for the 2023 series in the coming months. There's a lot to like about it, but nothing necessarily revolutionary. If you recently bought a TV, this is one of those CES years where you probably aren't too jealous of what's to come.
