Samsung Unveils New Neo QLED 8K & OLED TV Lineup For 2024
South Korean electronics giant Samsung has showcased the latest TV lineup set to release later this year, including the latest Neo QLED 8K, Neo QLED 4K, OLED TVs, and soundbars. Unsurprisingly, this year’s release also sees a big push for AI, with new processing hardware, Tizen OS, and more.
As the flagship of the new lineup, the Samsung Neo QLED 8K (QN900D, QN800D) – available in 65, 75, and 85 inches – now comes with the new NQ8 AI Gen3 processor that delivers twice the speed over its predecessor, as well as an 8-fold increase in neural networks, from 64 to 512, for higher-quality image processing. These include 8K upscaling, motion blur reduction for sports matches, and depth-of-field enhancement.
Aside from the usual image and audio enhancements, the Neo QLED 8K also brings AI Auto Game Mode, which automatically enables visual and audio enhancements during gaming sessions. The same technique is applied to AI customization mode, as well as AI Energy mode which focuses on energy savings.
Meanwhile, the more mainstream Neo QLED 4K gets the NQ4 AI Gen2 processor, bringing some of the flagship features, such as Real Depth Enhancer Pro and Quantum Matrix Technology, down to the more affordable price points. Samsung says these are the world’s first Pantone-validated displays which should ensure perfect color accuracy, regardless of which size (ranging from 55 to 98 inches) you’re picking.
The company is also bringing the first glare-free OLED TV models, powered by the same NQ4 AI Gen2 processor, and features OLED HDR Pro and Motion Xcelrator 144Hz on select variants. The OLED lineup is split under three variants – S95D, S90D, and S85D, with sizing options available from 42 to 83 inches.
For the audio hardware, Samsung is introducing the new Q990D as part of the new Q-Series offering. It boasts an 11.1.4-channel setup with wireless Dolby Atmos support; meanwhile, the S800D and S700D are designed with slim profiles with minimum footprint. Finally, there’s the Music Frame: if you remember Samsung’s The Frame, this is basically that – but in audio form. You can use it as a standalone device, which can display personal pictures or artwork; or pair it with a TV or a soundbar to complement the full audio setup.
Samsung has yet to provide any availability or pricing information as of this writing – but expect the announcement to be made in the near future.
Pokdepinion: I wonder if the glare-free OLED uses similar tech as the ones found on the Galaxy S24 Ultra?
