8K and micro LED, the new TV standards
Bigger, thinner and even more pixels, these three features aptly sum up Samsung’s new generation of flat-screen TVs.
With 25 million micrometric-sized LEDs that individually manage light and color, a high level of HDR contrast, the three 110, 101 and 89-inch displays presented by Samsung are a real eye-catcher.
It’s a million level of brightness and truer-than-life colors.
Added to these sizes are features like Art Mode to display works of art or photographs, Multi View to display content from four sources simultaneously in 4K resolution and, finally, immersive Dolby Atmos audio quality. with speakers projecting up, down and side for surround sound.
The only problem is the scarcity of film productions shot in 8K.
