Samsung Neo QLED TVs: Features

One of the key features of the Neo QLED TVs is Quantum Matrix Technology Pro. This technology uses Quantum Mini LEDs that are nearly 40 per cent smaller than traditional LEDs. According to the company, these deliver more accurate colours and a far more immersive experience. According to Samsung, these LEDs also allow users more granular control over brightness in different areas of the screen. 

The 8K Neo QLED TVs come equipped with the Neural Quantum Processor 8K. Twenty neural AI networks allow for improved picture quality. The technology also analyses content in real-time and reportedly upscales content to 8K and 4K quality. Moreover, you also get Dolby Atmos support for 3D surround sound. The flagship 85-inch QN900B TV packs a 90W 6.2.4 channel speaker system for clear audio.

The TVs also have integrated some smart features such as allowing users to connect the TVs to various IoT devices. Users can even control these smart devices via the TV’s inbuilt IoT hub. For gamers, Samsung has integrated Motion Xcelerator Pro technology that delivers up to 144Hz refresh rate using HDMI 2.1 ports. The TV also has a dedicated Game Bar that allows users quick access to display settings.

Both the 8K and 4K TVs come with a SolarCell Remote that works without a battery and charge themselves using room lighting. Samsung has also paid special attention to the design and has given this range of TVs an ultra-slim and sleek bezel-less design.

Lastly, the panels come with a no-screen burn-in warranty of 10 years allowing for long-term usage. The TVs can be purchased on Samsung’s official website in India and are available in retail stores across India as well.
