Samsung ups the entertainment ante: upgradeable TVs, motion control, Super OLED

To coincide with these announcements, Samsung unveiled three new top-tier TVs.

The first is the Samsung UAES8000, a Full HD LED TV that offers 2D, 3D, and a technology called “micro dimming” that “optimises the LED backlight and video signal” in real-time, apparently reducing distortion and lighting problems normally seen with higher contrast.

All of the announced technologies from above are included, with the bezel on this model even smaller than ever, now sitting at 0.5 centimetres, supported by a metallic stand, or able to be hung on a wall.

Samsung’s Plasma range continues this year with the PAE8000 (above), adopting new Smart technologies, support for 3D, Samsung’s “ultra-slim bezel design” with a profile less than 4cm thick, and the new “Real Black Pro Panel” aimed at bringing better blacks, stronger colour, and superior image quality.

Finally, there’s the big daddy of the day: Samsung’s Super OLED.

Much like the previously announced LG OLED TV, Samsung’s OLED will be a 55 inch TV set for release this year. Samsung says its Super OLED TV “offers response times over 1,000 times faster than LED” making motion blur a thing of the past.

Made from a single pane of glass, the Super OLED TV doesn’t require a backlight and lets the sub-pixels emit light themselves.

And like the other two TVs announced today, the Super OLED will include the gesture and voice control, dual-core processor, and access to apps. Interestingly, we can’t find out if this model will support Samsung’s Smart Evolution upgrade technology.

No word on pricing or availability yet, but we’ll have more for you when Samsung decides to announce these locally.
