Samsung’s New UHD TVs
Samsung’s HU8550 UHD TV (flat) – As one of Samsung’s flat-panel UHD TVs, the HU8550 delivers incredible life-like UHD picture quality and is packed with exceptional Smart TV capabilities. Paired with UHD Dimming and Precision Black, the HU8550 delivers outstanding contrast levels and provides detail with deep, rich color. The 85” model will be available late-June for $9,999.99. Samsung’s HU8550 UHD TV is currently available in a wide-range of screen sizes, including 50” ($2,499.99), 55” ($2,999.99), 60” ($3,499), 65” ($3,999.99) and 75” ($5,999.99).
Samsung’s HU7250 Series Curved UHD TV Models – The curved UHD TV design envelops viewers in stunning picture quality and delivers a more immersive entertainment experience. The curved screen gives video content a presence not felt on flat screens, plus, a wider field of view creates a panoramic effect that makes the display seem even bigger than it is. From virtually any viewing position, the curved design creates a more true-to-life experience so everyone watching has the best seat in the house. Movies, sporting events and video streamed from onboard apps can be enjoyed at four times the resolution of Full HD. With Samsung’s proprietary UHD Upscaling, the HU7250 Curved UHD TV seamlessly upconverts SD, HD or Full HD content to near UHD picture quality. The HU7250 Series also features UHD Dimming, which adjusts brightness to deliver deeper blacks and brighter whites, and virtually eliminates image distortion for a crystal clear picture. With Samsung’s Quad Screen Multi-Link feature, consumers can transform their TV into four screens to access live TV, streaming video and the web all at once. The HU7250 UHD TV features Samsung’s award winning Smart TV platform with the new 5 panel Smart Hub design powered by a Quad Core processor. The HU7250 series will be available in August in a 55” model for $2,199.99 and a 65” for $3,299.99.
Samsung’s HU6950 Series Smart UHD TV Models – This new flat UHD TV series features technology that allows consumers to experience incredible UHD picture quality. With some of the same technologies found on Samsung’s flagship models, such as UHD dimming, UHD Upscaling and a Quad Core Processor, the HU6950 Series offers outstanding performance. The new, easy to navigate 5 panel Smart Hub organizes favorite content and apps in one place. The HU6950 UHD TV also offers web browsing capabilities and its Quad Screen Multi-link feature allowing consumers to split their screen into four panels and dive even deeper into their content. Samsung’s HU6950 Smart UHD TV will be available late-June in a 40” model for $999.99, a 50” model for $1,499.99 and a 55” model for $1,999.99.
Whether flat or curved, all of Samsung’s UHD TVs support today’s standards – including HEVC, HDMI 2.0, MHL 3.0 and HDCP 2.2 – and tomorrows, thanks to the Samsung UHD Evolution Kit. The One Connect Box essentially houses the brains of the TV externally, enabling customers to switch out the box with the latest Samsung UHD Evolution Kit (Sold Separately) to stay up to date on the latest UHD standards, as well as get access to the newest technology Samsung has to offer. This is Samsung’s way of helping customers protect their investment for many years to come.
