Samsung's New AI Technology Converts Any Video To 8K

Samsung Unveils 146-Inch, Wall-Sized TV Called 'The Wall'

Samsung is going all-out on the TV front with a few new 8K TVs to show off, with the company introducing the world's first modular TV, coming in at a huge 146 inches. "The modular, self-emitting MicroLED 146" TV display was featured alongside Samsung's latest innovations in display technology, demonstrating how television is evolving to offer consumers an outstanding viewing experience, while acting as a centralized connected smart hub to enhance everyday life. It will be globally launched in the second half of this year beginning with Korean and American markets.

"It's groundbreaking", said Andrew Sivori, vice president of TV marketing at Samsung Electronics America, "There hasn't really been, for all intents and purposes, a new TV technology in nearly 10 years".

It's official: Your TV isn't as big as Samsung's "The Wall" television. It can transform into any size, and delivers incredible brightness, color gamut, color volume and black levels.

We're excited about this next step along our roadmap to the future of screen technology.

Samsung also showed off two 8K TVs, which are proof-of-concept models.

MicroLED technology panels emit light from their micrometer (µm) scale LEDs - hence the name. Key performance qualities of MicroLED displays are their light source lifetime, power consumption, and luminous efficiency (up to 2000 nits).

The blast occurred at about 8.30pm on Thursday when police forces were carrying out a raid against illegal drug alcohol trade. No group has yet claimed that attack.

"The screen can adapt to serve different purposes", says Samsung, "such as creating a wall-size display for multiple spaces".

"2018 will also see the launch of Universal Guide - an advanced program guide which automatically recommends TV programs and content according to a user's preferences", Samsung announced.

The new features that the 8K solution packs are: detail enhancement for upgrading standard definition content, noise reduction, and edge restoration function for screen objects.

Nintendo Switch fastest selling console of all time — Tech Trendspotting
Since the system became available on March 3, 2017, Nintendo has sold almost 5 million units in the U.S. Beyond that, more than 50% of Switch players have Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and around 20% have Splatoon 2 .

Samsung's new flagship 8K TV uses a "proprietary algorithm" that will upscale lower-res video up to their Super Hi-Vision screen at 8K.

There is a great TV war brewing, and features like display size and resolution are the new ammos. At the First Look of CES 2018, the company exhibited the 146-inch TV along with its newest innovations in display technology. That's just the beginning of what we can expect from Samsung smart TVs in 2018. The advancements include easier sharing and connectivity, simpler controls for the television, and syncing with other devices. What it may also mean is a more affordable way of achieving that quality.
