Samsung’s case for buying an 8K TV

‘Slow down Samsung, coque iphone galaxy s5 let’s not get ahead of ourselves’ has been the understandable, knee jerk reaction. The obvious argument against 8K TVs is that there’s nothing to take advantage of that resolution, barring content specifically shot to play on a loop and wow conference footfall. Samsung’s Stuart Mayo, TV acheter coque iphone se and audio marketing chief in the UK, tells me 8K movies and the like will be in your home coque huawei p30 lite monde much sooner than you might think somewhere between 18 months and two years from now, he estimates.

This isn’t a coque iphone 5c carbone figure plucked out of thin air, though. Films are being captured in 8K, such as Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, so the coque iphone 5 portefeuille cameras coque huawei p30 montagne are already here. Last year, Vimeo added support for 8K streaming and Sharp began selling an 8K ready receiver. Japanese broadcaster NHK is gearing up to deliver the Tokyo 2020 Olympics in 8K, and companies like NVIDIA are building powerful GPUs that allow editors to coque iphone 5c arsenal work easily with such high resolution footage.

Just as with 4K, or HDR, taking 8K mainstream is a symbiotic effort across numerous hardware manufacturers, coque iphone gratuite movie studios and broadcasters. As it stands, native 8K content is actually one the last pieces of the puzzle. coque samsung coque samsung Bothered or not, coque huawei p30 lite champion we’re on the cusp.

This isn’t exactly an incentive to buy an 8K TV right now, though. Even in lieu coque iphone 5s sailor jerry of compatible content, Samsung says its 8K sets still offer the best viewing experience money can buy, because resolution isn’t everything. Part of this claim has to do with its upscaling technology, which makes anything from SD to 4K footage look. better. Using machine learning or AI or whatever you want to call it the 8K TVs have been trained to know the difference between a cat, a rock and a wave. It has an idea of what things should look like, so it fills those surplus pixels in a way that’s smarter than your average algorithm.

At the demo event, Samsung had various TVs set coque huawei p30 lite barca up to forcefully illustrate the point. On a 8K TV, 4K clips looked that little bit cleaner. iphone 11 case On a 4K TV, the same clips had a sharper, grainier appearance. But without these clear coque iphone 6s counter strike analogies, it’s unlikely you’re going to notice the upscaling at work in your living room.

I watched the first half hour of Blade Runner 2049 on one of coque iphone 5s résistant Samsung’s 8K TVs and I wasn’t more coque iphone 5c victoria secret pink mesmerized than I have been sitting five feet from a 4K TV of equivalent size. bijoux personnalise Any improvement in picture quality is very subtle compared with, say, the stark contrast between 1080p and 4K. Upscaling doesn’t feel like a persuasive enough substitute for native 8K content, at least for the average person.

The second USP is brightness. Samsung’s 8K sets output at coque huawei p30 lite crane up to 4000 nits, double that of any other TV sold by the company. This is important, I was told, because some movies are beginning to be coque iphone 6s funny mastered at 4000 nits. coque iphone Available brightness is important for contrast, and so the bright bits are coque iphone 6s plus compatible iphone 7 plus actually as bright as they are intended to be. Realism, then, or rather a realistic representation of the source material without washing out color, is the point of this nit speak.

Samsung’s QLED tech is responsible for this. coque iphone It’s kind of a blend between OLED, which is renowned for its color saturation and deep blacks, and LCD. Where OLED panels make their own light, LCD screens are backlit and therefore, can be made brighter. coque iphone coque iphone QLED TVs are backlit, too, which means that theoretically, they can’t quite produce the same deep blacks as their OLED counterparts. The blacks looked pretty inky on the 8K TV I sat in front of for an hour, mind.

Neither the upscaling tech nor the available brightness left any lasting impression on me. They sound great on paper, though, and this alone might well be enough to sell coque iphone 5c silicon videophiles on the 8K TVs. The added bonus, as Samsung spins it, is that you’re also future proofing yourself for when 8K actually becomes a thing in a few years’ time.

Mayo tells me people tend to upgrade their TVs every five to seven years, and that by 2020, it’s expected nearly 10 percent of all TVs sold will be 8K. Another interesting point is that the general preference is tending towards bigger and bigger screen sizes. coque huawei Apparently, Samsung’s sales of 75 inch TVs and above had tripled in the UK in the past year. Granted, it was probably a small number to begin with, but the bigger TVs get, the more spread out the pixels become. coque huawei The higher resolution of 8K naturally fills in those gaps, thus maintaining the expected viewing experience.

Samsung knows its 8K TVs are a premium proposition in an already premium segment. The company is only selling the $15,000, 85 inch model in the States, whereas in the UK, you can buy a 65 inch model for around a 75 inch model for roughly and the 85 incher coque iphone 4 ogc nice for There are several 4K TVs on the market that fit into the same range from to which makes the lowest price 8K a much more attractive coque iphone metallica option.

And that’s where things starts to make a bit more sense. Not only is Samsung saying its 8K TVs are the best TVs around right now, and that they future proof you for the resolution jump to come. The company’s also saying to anyone currently thinking about buying a high end 4K TV: Don’t make a purchase you’ll regret before you know it.

There’s a certain irony coque iphone 5s nike gold in that, though, because being an early adopter comes with its own set of risks and potential regrets. coque iphone 5s weed Think coque huawei p30 lot of all the people who bought a 4K TV just before HDR became commonplace. 8K isn’t even in what you’d call its infancy yet.
