What are Samsung’s QLED TVs – and why should you care?

“The products and services unveiled at CES 2017 will touch almost every single global industry”.

You’ll wish you could watch the National Football League playoffs on the gorgeous, thin new televisions unveiled this year at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. This new clear-colored invisible cable runs from the TV to an external breakout box to help you hide them in the plain sight without having to fit them behind a wall. Powered by Quantum dots and LED technology, the new Q7, Q8 and Q9 series of TVs can produce brighter and more diverse colours.

Sales of TVs globally have been slipping, a seeming result of viewers turning to smartphones, tablets, and computers for video, according to Mr Steve Koenig, senior director of market research at the US Consumer Technology Association trade group behind CES.

LG also announced its latest TVs would support four HDR formats – including Hybrid Log-Gamma jointly developed by the BBC and the Japanese broadcaster NHK.

LG is dubbing the first TVs in the line the “W” series.

The other Korean powerhouse present at Las Vegas did not fall short of matching its rivals, offering “the next innovation in TV” with its QLED Series.

And Sony also doesn’t seem as keen as Samsung or LG about having a TV that mounts perfectly flush to the wall.

Perhaps its most impressive gadget was a simple cable wire it called the “Invisible Connection”, which plugs the flatscreen nearly undetectably into the media hub, reducing cluttering wires.

HyunSuk Kim, Visual Display Business President at Samsung is assured the new TVs will redefine TV experience.

Yes. Every single Samsung television manufactured by the company will be smart! .

Sony’s new TVs are impossibly skinny.

The super high-definition TV measured just 2.57 mm thick in a 65-inch screen model. The company slapped some speaker actuators on the back of the Bravia XBR-A1E OLED, which turns the TV itself into speakers.

“We continue our intensive efforts, internally and with third-party experts, to understand what happened and to make sure it does not happen again”, Mr. Baxter said before a packed audience at the electronics gathering. Google’s Android TV and Google Cast platforms, the Roku TV interface, and Amazon’s newly released Fire TV television integration offer TV makers feature-filled systems with loads of apps and services without the need to get fancy with custom engineering.

The Chinese giant is soon becoming a public favorite in America for its quality products and record-low prices.

John Davidson is in Las Vegas as a guest of Samsung. They also showed off one of the thinnest and lightest TVs to date. This comes with a companion app which users look up to tell how often their hair is being brushed and whether it has been overbrushed.

Yet I have zero doubt that in the coming years a major TV maker is going to stand on stage at CES and announce a television that is just a display.

Hisense 100H10D Laser TVHisense 100H10D Laser TV. It’s even been referred to as a “wallpaper TV”.

The most notorious feature of this release is, of course, the big 100-inch screen.

High-end screens and other technologies that were out of reach for most TV shoppers are becoming much more affordable.
