The lineup of high-end TVs from Samsung in 2022 will include 8K MiniLED and 4K OLED TVs according to sources. These premium products are driven by some immersive technologies being developed by the Korean tech powerhouse. The 8K MiniLED TV will be the highest among the lineup and will carry the Neo QLED TV brand.
Samsung’s MicroLED TVs are on the high end of the spectrum but the company only produces very few units to meet demand from its clientele on the top echelon of the market. They are yet to be produced in the numbers that would scale down to other segments, although this may be an economic decision. The 8K Neo QLED TV is on the highest tier, followed by the 4K OLED TVs. The display technology for the Neo QLED is to be provided by Samsung Display and it is believed that the OLED technology is capable of offering 8K resolution, although Samsung is limiting the OLED to 4K which will be produced by LG Display.
The Neo QLED 4K is also part of the lineup of TVs for 2022. Samsung is projecting to sell 3 million units of the 8K QLED and up to 2 million of the 4K models. Samsung is currently in talks with LG Display to procure up to 2 million units of the W-OLED 4K panels in pursuit of its sales goals. It is expected that the cheaper OLED TVs could have higher demand than the QLED, although it remains to be seen what marketing strategy is in place to drive the company’s expectations.
Samsung is also developing its capacity to produce OLED panels from its display arm, Samsung Display. To this end, the Samsung-LG collaboration will most likely terminate by 2024 when Samsung would have started producing these panels.
