Samsung held a product launch conference earlier this week. In this event, the South Korean tech giant launched its 2020 flagship QLED 8K TV. It carries the model number Q950TS and is the top of the line premium TV among its entire lineup. The TV is currently available for pre-orders and will launch on 1st June 2020.
The Samsung QLED 8K TV Q950TS arrives with various image enhancing technologies. It is equipped with a high end display technology called Full Array Elite built on a black panel and features a wide color gamut color rendering technology. The display houses up to 33 million pixels thanks to the UHD panel and arrives with a new generation of Samsung Quantum Dot 8K AI processor.
This processor is an upgraded version of the AI Upscaling technology, which enabled content to be converted to higher resolutions like 8K. The Samsung QLED 8K TV Q950TS also sports an artificial neural network and has a deep learning based algorithm with adaptive picture technology. The latter enables the TV to automatically adjust light and color temperature according to the ambient light.

For audio, the 8K QLED Q950TS houses two speakers on either side. These speakers are further divided into an audio system with 6 sub speakers. Interestingly, Samsung has equipped the TV with OTS+ technology or Object Tracking Sound along with an Active Voice Amplifier (AVA). The TV uses an AI software that lets it track audio and video for the OTS+ technology to enhance the listening experience through the 5.1 surround sound channel.
One of its highlighting aspects is undoubtedly the display. Samsung is known for making top end screens and the Q950TS features a near complete screen to body ratio of 99 percent. In other words, there are negligible bezels that offer a full front display body. The 8K QLED TV is priced at 49,999 Yuan (roughly 7,063 US Dollars) for the 65 inch model, while the 75 inch and 85 inch version is priced at 69,999 and 99,999 Yuan respectively (roughly 9,848 and 14,068 US Dollars).
