Here’s how Samsung enables the best cinematic experience at home.

Revel in remarkable picture quality

Lighting is key for cinematic viewing, and brightness levels can make or break the experience. This is especially true when the content on the screen contains deep black levels and surreal graphics.

Thankfully, this will not be a problem with Samsung’s Neo QLED TV – its nearly bezel-less screen optimizes brightness and contrast with the Quantum Matrix Technology Pro feature to display lifelike picture quality. Plus, the Neo Quantum Processor, Samsung’s most powerful AI processor, automatically upscales any show to the next best resolution.

Rave in immersive audio experience

Audio quality also has a significant impact on one’s cinematic viewing experience. When watching from home, the positioning of the television – whether wall-mounted or placed on a table -- makes all the difference. But in the case of Samsung’s Neo QLED, less effort is required to experience the best audio quality.

Revel in the thrill and excitement of HBO GO’s top shows with the help of the Neo QLED’s impressive sound features. These audio innovations enable the TV to create superb sound impact:

 

The enormous scene, dark surroundings, and that surround sound, I'm really missing that feeling, watching the latest movie release on the big screen. So, if you miss the feeling of watching the latest films at the cinema? Samsung Philippines is giving you the next best thing – now’s the chance to bring the big screen experience home and get a 6-month subscription to the most anticipated blockbusters and award-winning series from HBO GO when you purchase select TVs.

Home to hits like Game of Thrones, HBO GO is first to premiere movies in the absence of theaters across the country. They brought us Wonder Woman 1984, Zack Snyder’s Justice League, and the much-awaited Friends: The Reunion during ECQ. Most recently, HBO GO débuted horror film The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It. There’s lots more to look forward to, like Space Jam: A New Legacy, starring LeBron James, will officially launch on the HBO GO platform last September 3.

 

The demand for OLED TVs is still on a steady rise in 2021. According to Consumer Reports, more brands are expected to come out with entry-level OLED sets to make it more accessible to people looking for affordable TVs with 4K quality.

That being said, however, the concern over screen burn-in is expected to also grow alongside it. But what is it exactly and what causes it?

Simply known as “burn-in,” this is a permanent defect in areas of a TV display that can be caused by cumulative effects of displaying the same image or scene for long periods of time. This usually starts as an image retention—when a TV shows what appears to be a shadow of the original image even after it has disappeared.

OLED displays are much more susceptible to burn-in because it relies on the self-emissive nature of its individual pixels. Therefore, when a TV is on for hours, the pixels that light up a static image can “burn in” due to pixel aging with its brightness diminishing to a lower state.

In the past there have been reports of OLED TVs installed at prominent spots such as the Incheon International Airport that showed signs of burn-in that can make customers worry about the long-term reliability of the device.

OLED TV owners might be able to fix the problem and prevent permanent damage by turning down an OLED TV’s brightness and avoid leaving static images on for several hours or even days. Some displays have “pixel refreshers” that automatically shift an entire image on TVs by a few pixels.

They can also prevent burn-in by consuming less of certain types of content that show static graphics remaining on screen for a long period of time. These types of content can include news channels and live sports that show scores, tickers, and channel logos as well as video games that show health meters, status bars, or maps on a certain part of the screen.

But even then, there is still a possibility that some images will be retained. The static image somewhat disappears when switching channels but eventually, it becomes a major cause of concern when the image is already transfixed on the same spot. It becomes a constant eye-sore and the only way to enjoy watching their TV again is by buying a new one.

To check for burn-in, a popular method called the gray screen test will let you see image retention and burn-in more clearly. Samsung has also developed a burn-in detection video test for easier checking.

If you’re an OLED TV owner and are looking to switch, consider opting for a QLED TV instead because this TV technology uses a backlight to provide brightness. This means that the pixels aren’t susceptible to uneven aging, which ensures that the screens are safe from burning in.

The plotlines always evolve

While classic K-drama tropes are still present and enjoyed by many, the concepts around these stories are often refreshed. Whether it’s through building a new fantasy world, featuring an obscure hobby or sport, or highlighting societal topics that weren’t openly discussed before, K-dramas always give fans new ways to explore an exciting new story, all the time.

The stars just get brighter

Korean shows always bring their ‘A’ game when it comes to their casting choices. From fresh new faces to more seasoned veterans, the acting prowess of these stars is top caliber, regardless of the type of show. You’ll never know when a new rookie actor will be your new favorite with the help of his breakthrough role in a new drama.

The visuals continue to please

Every Korean drama is a visual spectacle, from the newest and most beautifully obscure locations, hippest set designs, and on-point fashion choices - the shows have it all. Every shot features the best things the country has to offer, and also helps viewers discover new trends and places that they would want to experience for themselves as well.

While we can’t experience some of the things just yet in person, the next best thing is to watch them come alive right at our own homes, with the help of Samsung and Viu. The strategic content partnership of top Korean content providers makes Viu the one-stop service for viewers to access the widest selection of Korean titles. The Viu TV app comes pre-installed on all 2020 Samsung Smart TV models and can also be downloaded on models from 2016 to date.

Our lifestyle is the reason why we are experiencing so many things today, so lifestyle is also the answer for us to help our Mother Earth to heal and to be saved. Climate change is true and not just something to be ignored. We all need to work together for the change. And knowing one of the electronic companies, Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., just recently announced its better way of giving Mother Earth a breather. They introduce its new eco-friendly packaging across its Lifestyle TV product portfolio in efforts to reduce the environmental footprint.

Samsung’s new ‘eco-packaging’ made from eco-friendly corrugated cardboard will be applied to The Serif, The Frame, and The Sero, allowing customers easier recycling as well as upcycling of the cardboard boxes for creative reuse.

Samsung has applied a dot matrix design on each side of its eco-friendly corrugated cardboard boxes, allowing customers to cut the boxes more easily and assemble them into various other uses, such as small end tables or houses for pets.



Included within the packaging is a manual to guide customers on how to make household items out of the cardboard boxes, which can be accessed by scanning the QR code on the box.

Owners of The Serif who tend to put shelves and furniture around the TV can build cat houses, magazine racks and even shelves from the cardboard boxes to store household items and electronic devices, including the remote control.

Earlier this year, Samsung had already won CES 2020 Innovation Awards for its eco-packaging concept for promoting the efficient use of resources.

As part of the rollout of the new eco-packaging, Samsung and Dezeen, a British lifestyle magazine, will hold a global design competition starting April 6th, where the two companies will award the most unique and practical designs and will apply the designs into its eco-packaging manual.



"Consumers are more likely to purchase from a brand that shares similar fundamentals and values as they do, and with our eco-packaging, we believe that we can provide our customers with a new experience that considers the environment as an important way to express themselves," said Kangwook Chun, Executive Vice President and Head of Product Strategy Team of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics.
