Samsung Transforms Home Entertainment Experience With New TV And AV Line-Up on Feb 05, 2013 Samsungs 2013 Smart TVs offer an even easier and intuitive way to discover content with a new Smart Hub
Samsungs 2013 AV line-up delivers rich, pure sounds while emphasising connectivity and usability
At its 2013 European Regional Forum today, Samsung Electronics reinforces its technology leadership through the introduction of a new Smart TV line-up that responds to the demands of consumers in the UK for premium design, smarter features, superior picture quality, and larger screen sizes. Samsung's 2013 Smart TVs mean people can now enjoy a more seamless, integrated and immersive entertainment viewing experience.
Samsung also today announces the expansion of its digital audio line-up with new devices that easily turn any home entertainment set-up into an optimal sound environment and feature a number of wireless connectivity enhancements.
We are really excited about our new premium Smart TV and AV products, said Robert King, Vice President of Consumer Electronics, Samsung Electronics UK & Ireland. Every year, our customers' expectations get higher and higher and we're proud to be in a position to deliver exactly what they are looking for and more in terms of quality, functionality, features and sophisticated design.
Redesigned Smart Hub for the ultimate lean-back experience
Samsung is offering its customers a simpler way to embrace the discovery of new TV content and experiences with a completely redesigned Smart Hub. The 2013 Smart Hub features newly-designed panels with personalised content, an easy-to-navigate interface and vibrant thumbnails for instant previews. Combined with Samsung's enhanced Motion Control which allows people to swipe, pinch to zoom, or use a flip motion to easily move between Smart Hub panels consumers can navigate and control their TV like never before.
The new Smart Hub includes, in total, five easy-to-navigate panels:
On TV: The new landing screen on Samsung's 2013 Smart TV - called On TV - is the world's first TV service to analyse on-air viewing habits and offer personalised programme suggestions in real time-meaning people can enjoy a truly new TV experience
Movies and TV shows: Consumers can find personalised premium, VOD content recommendations from various subscription services from one central location
Photos, videos and music: It is possible to access personal content stored on various AllShare devices in one place
Social: Consumers can view popular video content which is shared across social channels
Apps: Downloaded Samsung Apps can be accessed and edited more easily than before
Samsung's new S-Recommendation with Voice Interaction technology means consumers can more quickly and easily search and find content, and get recommendations based on previous viewings and user ratings. They can also now control their TV using everyday language and search for content by actor, title or genre via Samsung's proprietary Voice Interaction technology.
Available on Samsung's 2013 Smart TVs in select European markets*, including the UK from March, S-Recommendation with Voice Interaction aggregates preferred content across various services including broadcast TV, premium VOD, apps, social content and locally-stored content from personal devices.
UHD TVThe ultimate blend of technology and craftsmanship
The stunning Timeless Gallery design of the new Samsung UHD TV S9 sets a new standard for the industry, revolutionising the conventional TV design aesthetic. The TV appears to be floating within its frame and showcases the juxtaposition of a minimalist concept with a large, 85-inch display.
Blending technology excellence with fine craftsmanship, the state-of-the-art UHD TV 85S9 offers four times the resolution available on existing Full HD displays to deliver beautiful detail, unmatched clarity and the most vivid picture quality. The TV also includes Samsung's proprietary up-scaling engine which can up-convert HD or Full-HD to UHD-level picture quality by restoring detail information to create greater precision for real-life picture quality.
Rounding off the UHD TV S9 is an immersive audio experience to match its screen excellence, with 120-watt array speakers built seamlessly into the frame of the television.
Premium design for European consumers
This year, Samsung is significantly expanding its premium-design TV line-up for its European customers, with the new F8500 LED Smart TV taking luxury to the next level through its premium Magnum design, available for the first time. The TV's frame and stand are crafted as a unified structure from a single piece of aluminium, also incorporating a naturally curved back made of the same material as the rest of the frame. An integrated retracting camera subtly complements the overall design.
The F8500's premium design does not compromise on picture quality or performance. As a world first, its Intelligent Viewing feature automatically adjusts picture quality in accordance with the content displayed. Along with the F7000 and F8000, the F8500 is also among Samsung's first line of Smart TVs equipped with a quad-core processormaking it even easier for consumers to toggle between apps, online services and on-air TV.
Rounding off Samsung's premium LED line-up for 2013 is the stunning F6200 Smart LED TV, the F6400 Smart & 3D LED TV; the F6500, F6510 and F6800 Series, offering the same feature set in three design choices; and finally the F7000 & F8000, featuring ultra-slim bezels and stunning designs.
