NEW YORK: A second Nor’easter that hit the storm-weary US East Coast in less than a week with heavy snowfall, power outages and crippled transportation on Wednesday did not deter Samsung Electronics from unveiling its next-generation 4K QLED TVs that are set to redefine our living rooms.
The new line-up of flagship QLED (Quantum dot Light Emitting Diode) TVs – including the 85-inch, 8K Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered TV – houses an “Ambient Mode” feature that mimics the pattern on the wall behind the TV to create a visual effect, in which the TV blends seamlessly into the wall like a chameleon.
To achieve this effect, download the ” Samsung SmartThings” app on your smartphone and take a picture of the wall.
The app — available for both iOS and Android devices — then sends the image to the wall-mounted TV and figures out how to fill the screen with that image.
In a demonstration, this left only the TV frame to be visible, and the screen seamlessly merged with the colour of the wall.
“Ambient Mode” also provides useful information throughout the day like weather reports and important news of the day etc, even when someone is not actively watching the TV.
With the intelligence platform ” Bixby,” you can use voice commands to ask for your favourite movies or songs — along with controlling compatible Internet of Things (IoT) home devices like a robotic vacuum cleaner or cameras inside your home.
“Our 2018 line-up of televisions are most innovative and sophisticated yet, designed for today’s consumer who is mindful of the aesthetics of their space,” Jonghee Han, President of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics, told the gathering during the launch event at the American Stock Exchange here.
Ending months of speculations and teasers, Samsung’s flagship televisions — for which the price is yet to be announced — will be available later this month.
