Samsung introduced its latest AI TV, Neo QLED 8K QN900D, coupled with advanced technologies for enhancing the viewing experience.
Samsung has powered the latest AI TV with its most efficient and powerful processor, the 8K NQ8 AI Gen3 Processor, as well as a neural processing unit (NPU) that runs twice as fast as its predecessor. This new AI TV features eight times as many neural networks—512 instead of 64. It analyzes and optimizes content in real-time, capable of delivering superior picture and sound quality and elevating the TV experience to one that places viewers at the center.
8K AI Upscaling Pro and AI Motion Enhancer Pro deliver high-end clarity by sharpening low-resolution content and minimizing ball distortion and blurring. Samsung adds Active Voice Amplifier Pro to distinguish between voice and background noise.
While watching any show on TV, the Object Tracking Sout (OTS) Pro, viewers are no longer spectators. The AI Optimization automatically fine-tunes the settings for the best viewing experience, and the AI Auto Game Mode helps to recognize game titles and genres and automatically optimizes settings for an upgraded experience.
AI Energy Mode conserves energy by using sensors to analyze ambient lighting before automatically adjusting the AI TV screen’s brightness. The Samsung Tizen OS changed the AI TV into more than an entertainment center.
Samsung’s AI TV continues to grow to do just that by pushing the frontier of audio as well as visual experience and upgrading sustainability while putting AI to work under the hood.
