28 February 2013, Jakarta – At the fourth Samsung South East Asia, Oceania and Taiwan Forum held here yesterday, Samsung introduced a new world of possibilities with its latest flagship F8000 LED Smart TV, S9 85″ Ultra High Definition (UHD) TV, Evolution Kit and an all-new Smart Remote bringing home entertainment experience to a whole new level. This new range of Samsung Smart TVs is estimated to reach Singapore stores in Quarter 2 2013.
Last year Samsung demonstrated its leadership in the TV market by achieving 16% growth in revenue and 14% growth in unit sales in this region.
Samsung F8000 LED TV
The Samsung F8000 LED Smart TV offers brighter, more vibrant pictures with richer colours, deeper black levels and higher contrasts. Its ultra-thin design profile, minimal bezel design and Arc stand make the TV appear floating in the air. The F8000 is also among Samsung’s first line of Smart TVs equipped with Intelligent Viewing, which creates an optimised picture quality dependent on the type of content, and a quad-core processor – making it even easier and faster for consumers to toggle between apps, online services and on-air TV.
An all-new Smart Remote for the Samsung F8000 LED Smart TV let users navigate through the menu with a swipe on the touchpad, input channel choice by writing on the touchpad and give voice control command via the built-in mic on the remote. The Samsung F8000 LED Smart TV will be available in 55″, 60’’, 65” and 75” class screen sizes.
Samsung S9 85″ UHD TV (85S9)
The stunning Timeless Gallery design of the new Samsung UHD TV 85S9 makes the TV appear to be floating within its frame and showcases the juxtaposition of a classic, minimalist concept with a large, 85″ display. Samsung’s design concept includes its One Connect solution to eliminate cable clutter by requiring only one cable to connect to the TV, creating a perfect Clean Back look.
Samsung UHD TV 85S9 offers four times the resolution available on existing Full HD displays to deliver beautiful detail, unmatched clarity and the most vivid picture quality. It also includes Samsung’s proprietary up-scaling engine which can up-convert HD or Full-HD to UHD-level picture quality by restoring detail information to create greater precision for real-life picture quality.
In addition to the up-scaling engine, Samsung is addressing the current conflicting UHD content industry standards through Smart Evolution, which will have forward compatibility with the latest standards and features. Users will have no difficulties in watching UHD content regardless of future standardisations, which eases purchasing concerns to ensure that users will be able to view UHD content for years to come.
Rounding off the Samsung UHD TV is an immersive audio experience to match its screen excellence, with 120-watt array speakers built seamlessly into the frame of the television.
Samsung Evolution Kit
Stay up-to-date with the latest TV technology with the Samsung Evolution Kit. Available on Series 7, 8 and 9 2012 Samsung Smart TVs, the Evolution Kit offers both software and hardware updates that include access to the 2013 Smart Hub and other Smart features, and transforms the set’s dual-core CPU to quad-core, resulting in faster internal processing speeds. Several of Samsung’s flagship 2013 Smart TVs will also be equipped with slots for future Evolution kits.
