Apart from the Neo QLED, the company also disclosed that the total number of QED TVs sold locally in Korea reached 40,000 units as of April 23. This, the firm says, is more than twice the sales speed of last year’s QLED TV products during the same period, and  is an indication of Samsung’s growing leadership of the premium TV market.

The company also disclosed that Neo QLED smart TVs utilizing Quantum mini LED technnology accounts for half of the total number of QLED TVs released this year. Data released also shows that about 75% of the new QLED TVs sold in its home turf is the 75-inch model.

In February this year, German AV Magazine rated the Neo QLED 8K TV as the “Best TV of all time”. The review team gave the TV model a score of 966 points, 10 points higher than the score recorded by the best Samsung QLED TV from 2020 which received a score of 956 points.

In particular, reference was made to the outstanding design, innovation, impressive contrast ratio, deep blacks, high brightness, and precise local dimming as a result of the Mini-LED technology. The Neo QLED 8K even features an Infinity screen with the bezels around the display only 2.3mm thick.

Samsung Neo QLED is equipped with various gaming functions to provide an optimal gaming environment such that even if you play for a long time, you can enjoy lively videos without worrying about burn-in. The product is also said to be the first in the TV industry to be certified as ‘Gaming TV Performance’ by the German certification body Verband Deutscher Elektrotechniker (VDE) in March.

To further boost domestic sales, Samsung has been running a promotion since April 1 dubbed ‘National Home Appliances Fiesta’ for popular home appliances including TVs. The promo has seen the company offer benefits worth up to KRW 1 million to customers who purchase the Neo QLED 8K after returning their existing TV.

Samsung took the industry by storm when it launched the Neo QLED TV, its first mini-LED-based smart TV at CES 2021. The TV is expected to go on sale worldwide from March 2021. Ahead of the sales, Germany’s AV magazine has published the first independent review of the Neo QLED TVs, giving the TV awesomely favorable ratings.

The magazine rated that smart TV as the ‘Best TV of All Time.’ The magazine got its hands on the 75-inch 8K variant of Neo QLED TV with model number GQ75QN900A. The guys at AV magazine gave the TV model a score of 966 points. This is about 10 points higher than the score clinched by the best Samsung QLED TV from 2020 which received a score of 956 points.

The review team showered encomium on the TV for its impressive contrast ratio, deep blacks, high brightness, and precise local dimming as a result of the Mini-LED technology. Further, the Samsung Neo QLED TV was praised for its outstanding design, innovation, and the magazine has selected it as its ‘Reference’ TV.

As a reminder, the Neo QLED panel is based on mini-LED backlighting technology that features smaller LEDs that can focus light on a smaller area. The panel is equipped with up to 40 times smaller LEDs than conventional LEDs with full-array back-lighting. Adding more LEDs in a smaller area makes it possible for the display panel to offer precise backlighting control, improved HDR, higher contrast, and better brightness.

Samsung crams the Neo Quantum Processor image processor inside the Neo QLED panel which is used for AI upscaling with 16 neural networks to upscale image quality to the native resolution of the panel. The Neo QLED panel is built for Samsung’s QN900A 8K and QN90A 4K models. The new TVs featuring Neo QLED panels will offer features like super-slim bezels, 21:9 and 32:9 aspect ratios, a new audio system with object tracking and spatial optimization, and more.
