Introducing Exceptional Picture Quality
Utilizing Samsung's proprietary, eco-friendly nano-crystal technology and intelligent SUHD re-mastering picture quality engine, Samsung SUHD TVs demonstrate groundbreaking advances in contrast, brightness, colour reproduction, and detail to deliver an overall superior picture quality experience.

SUHD TV's nano-crystal semiconductor transmits different colours of light depending on their size to produce high colour purity and light efficiency. This technology produces a wide range of more accurate colours, providing viewers with 64 times more colour expression than conventional TVs.

The SUHD re-mastering engine automatically analyzes the brightness of images to minimize additional power consumption while expressing ultimate contrast levels, producing images with much darker blacks and an elevated brightness up to 2.5 times brighter than conventional TVs. and twice the colour adjustment points for a more accurate colour display.

By collaborating with the leading Hollywood studio 20th Century Fox, Samsung has been able to optimize content to meet premium quality SUHD standards. This allows for consumers to have an unrivaled UHD viewing experience. 

Most recently, Samsung partnered with the Fox Innovation Lab to re-master multiple scenes from its critically acclaimed film, Exodus, specifically for the SUHD TV.  The result was spectacular – generating more vivid colours and lifelike scenes.

Furthermore, Samsung's SUHD TVs use environmentally friendly technology to deliver exceptional energy efficiency and reliability.

Sophisticated And Improved Curved Designs
When Samsung introduced the curved form-factor in 2014, it dramatically enhanced the home entertainment experience for consumers. Taking cues from contemporary art and architecture, Samsung TVs were designed and enhanced with many modern and minimalist highlights.

Samsung SUHD TV JS9500 will feature Samsung's Chamfer bezel design, adding more depth to the TV screen, and the elegant frame makes the TV look like a piece of art when mounted on the wall.

SUHD TV JS9000 model has a soft, textured Shirring design on the back, ensuring the TV maintains its stylish edge from any angle.

New Smart TV Redefines the Future Entertainment Experience

Thanks to Tizen, Samsung's new Smart TV platform not only has a bevy of new features, but it also allows consumers intuitive access, a more integrated entertainment experience, and more choices for content than ever before.
