The all-new QLED 8K TV launched by Samsung in Qatar, yesterday
Samsung Gulf Electronics, in collaboration with Techno Blue Qatar, yesterday announced the launch of the first QLED 8K television in Qatar during an immersive launch event held in Westin Doha. The introduction of QLED 8K breaks new ground for Samsung’s ultra-premium TV and home entertainment offering, delivering beautiful design and supported with the most advanced picture quality in its portfolio.
The QLED 8K TV will be offered in 98-inch, 82-inch,75-inch and 65-inch screen sizes, designed to meet Qatar’s demand for larger screen formats that also provide the incredible performance customers have come to expect from Samsung. To achieve 8K resolution, the Samsung 8K QLED produces four times more pixels than a 4K UHD TV and 16 times more pixels than a full HD TV.
“With Real 8K Resolution features embedded with Samsung’s proprietary 8K AI Upscaling technology, Samsung is pushing the boundaries of TV technology for consumers around the world,” said Mustafa Sadick, Head of Visual Display Division at Samsung Gulf Electronics. “We are excited to bring our first QLED 8K TV lineup to Qatar with stunning 8K resolution for a new level of immersion, demonstrated in an interactive manner at today’s event.”
Sheikh Nasser bin Hamad Al Thani, Chairman of Techno Blue Qatar, said: “We are excited to collaborate with Samsung to launch the new QLED 8K lineup that has successfully proven its ability to meet the needs of a wide range of consumers. With our extensive multi-locational distribution facilities, we look forward to building and strengthening our mutual relationship and keep providing our customers with the latest and the best technology.”
Samsung QLED 8K comes with AI Upscaling that uses the power of machine learning to analyze and upscale content to 8K resolution², to help optimize the viewing experience. 8K AI Upscaling results in more detailed and natural videos as it upscales not just one aspect, but a whole variety of features such as light, color and line differentiation.
Despite the limited native 8K content currently available, the Quantum Processor 8K can recognize and upscale all content whether through a streaming service, set-top box, HDMI, USB or even mobile mirroring to appear in 8K resolution. In addition, the QLED 8K range features Direct Full Array Elite for enhanced contrast and precise backlighting control.
Not only can you watch content developed in 8K on the QLED’s 33-million-pixel screen, but with the 8K AI Upscaling feature, you can also watch your favorite videos from any resolution – from SD to 4K – transformed to as close to-8K quality as possible, depending on the source.
8K AI Upscaling is based on artificial intelligence smart learning, so through usage, it will develop and adapt with each video upscale as more video data becomes available to the system to be analyzed. But even from the first usage, the QLED 8K provides the most comfortable color, light and texture balances to provide the optimum viewing experience for each user.
