Samsung has announced the pricing and availability of its 2022 line-up of Neo QLED and Lifestyle TVs and responded to customer demands for larger screen sizes and improved picture and audio quality.
Samsung says the 75-inch size is now the most popular with 85-inch growing fast and this has been reflected in the 2022 range which more 75-inch and 85-inch models than ever before.
Samsung’s new TV range introduces new technologies to provide incredible colour and brightness and crisp lifelike pictures which can be enjoyed even in bright rooms – typical of Australian living conditions.
Samsung’s new TV’s and accessories will be available from March 16.
“The innovations Samsung brings to its range in 2022 allows Australians to have not just a TV, but a customisable and personalised screen that can be used to showcase and purchase art, experience content, work, play and connect with their favourite people,” says Samsung Electronics Vice President of Consumer Electronics, Jeremy Senior.
The new Samsung TV range includes 4K and 8K Neo QLED TVs and award-winning lifestyle TVs which focus on seamlessly merging technology with design.
The Samsung Neo QLED TVs are powered by the Neo Quantum Processor which does the heavy lifting in providing stunning picture technology and high sound quality for a complete home entertainment experience.
This year’s TV line-up introduces new Shape Adaptive Light technology that makes use of the processor’s powerful AI algorithms which can analyse shapes, lines and surfaces and control the shape of light produced from the Quantum Mini LED backlight.
The result is even higher accuracy of shapes and maximised brightness.
This also unlocks the enhanced 14-bit HDR (high dynamic range) processing which is four times better than last year’s Neo QLED grayscale levels to produce the most accurate image ever seen on a Samsung TV.
Another new feature is Real Depth Enhancer which is another multi-intelligence algorithm that creates a higher sense of realism by determining and processing primary objects on the screen against the background to increase the sense of depth.
The Samsung 2022 Neo QLED TVs also optimise the screen’s brightness and tone based on the lighting conditions of the room which is determined via a built-in light sensor and sunrise/sunset information.
This means as the ambient light changes during the day, the amount of light the screen produces becomes warmer while gradually reducing the blue light levels at the same time for a more comfortable viewing experience as the evening progresses.
On the audio side, the Neo QLED TVs have also seen a major upgrade.
The OTS (object tracking sound) has gone to the next level with the ability to direct sound to move around the room to match the objects on the screen.
And now OTS has support for Dolby Atmos making the new Samsung TVs the first to support Dolby Atmos with upward and side firing speakers built into the TV to provide a three-dimensional sound without any additional speakers and peripherals.
SMART HUB
The Samsung 2022 Smart TV’s have a new Smart Hub that provides easy navigation and curation of your content.
This updated operating system will allow users to discover new content available on their favourite streaming services including Netflix, Paramount+, Disney+ and local favourites like Stan, Kayo and Binge.
Also on board is Samsung TV Plus which includes a variety of free streaming TV channels including news, sport, entertainment and more.
Samsung’s TVs also include smart calibration which makes it possible to calibrate the screens using a compatible smartphone camera in as little as 30 seconds while professional mode can optimise the screen for stunning picture quality in about 10 minutes.
SAMSUNG LIFESTYLE TVS
Samsung’s new range of lifestyle TV’s – The Frame, The Sero and The Serif – all feature anti-glare matte displays with anti-reflection anti-fingerprint properties.
The Frame provides a realistic art viewing experience when you’re not watching TV with sizes ranging from 32-inch now all the way up to 85-inch.
The Serif, which has its own stand and iconic design, is now available in sizes up to 65-inch.
And The Sero, which includes a new matte display which can be viewed in both vertical and horizontal modes, will now be available in both blue and white colour variants.
ACCESSORIES AND OPTIONS
One new accessory available to customers is the Auto Rotating Wall Mount and stand which makes compatible TVs watchable in landscape and portrait mode just like The Sero lifestyle TV.
And to complement this accessory, the Smart Hub will automatically adjust to the new vertical multi-view mode.
Users will also easily be able to mirror their mobile device and cast content to the screens while they are in vertical mode.
SAMSUNG SOUNDBARS
Samsung’s soundbars have also been improved with the range now including a world first wireless True Dolby Atmos experience.
There are 10 new soundbars in the line-up with a new design and technical improvements to improve the audio quality.
The flagship Q990B has 11.1.4 channel surround sound including one subwoofer, four upfiring channels and two wireless rear speakers for an immersive Dolby Atmos and DTS:X experience.
The 2022 soundbar line-up has also improved Q Symphony which allows the soundbar to be used in conjunction with the TV’s built-in speakers to create up to 22 channels of Dolby Atmos sound.
