Samsung recently published details of the new televisions that they would like to present in a few days at CES 2021. Among other things, there are models based on mini and micro LED as well as screen diagonals of up to 110 inches.

This is how the QLED- Next-generation televisions will no longer use conventional LEDs, but rather up to 40 times smaller mini-LEDs. Samsung then calls the whole thing Neo QLED, the benefit should primarily lie in a higher contrast, i.e. richer black and brighter white. This is achieved by using mini-LEDs for Samsung to dim the screen in up to 4. 096 levels. Samsung would like to present five such Neo QLED series in a few days: The two 8K top models QN 900 A and QN 800 A and the 4K -Variants QN 95 A, QN 90 A, and QN 85 A.

In addition to the new TV models with mini-LED displays, Samsung is now for the first time bringing televisions with micro-LED Technology for the broad market. The individual pixels are replaced by RGB LEDs. This enables an even higher contrast representation and, in theory, almost perfect black values. Samsung promises complete coverage of the Adobe RGB and DCI-P3 color spaces and an operating time of up to 100. 000 hours. The press release specifically mentions a 99 to and 110 – inch-inch model, but one also speaks of other smaller models, without giving exact numbers. The resolution in this series is 4K. In addition, the screen-to-body ratio should be an impressive 99, 99%.

Samsung has been keeping a low profile in terms of prices. However, it can be assumed that the new premium models will be anything but affordable. The official presentation at the CES will bring clarity in a few days.
