How Samsung's Neo QLED TV actually works (quantum lighting!)

At its First Look event, Samsung explains how Mini LED tech works behind the scenes in its new Neo QLED TV.

I love how they show the blooming like crap when in reality its not that bad in current tvs...

The funny thing here is that the image on the right is the image we always get when TV's come out.

So how come my S7 can clearly show the difference between your blurred picture and your clear picture ?

[danielolayinka]

Imagine if the note 20 event was done this way
That will be great

Their TV's already had this design language. See the Q950TS.

This isn't exclusive or proprietary technology either. Just clever marketing as usual. Or confusing marketing I'd you have no idea what your looking for. The same way they changed SUHD to QLED to make it sound more like OLED but "better".

Fixed 4K 120 gaming in hdr? What about Dolby Vision? Else the new tech to mitigate blooming is great.

I think this may be the tv to call the Z9D successor hands down with no argument. With True Led this time. As backlight master drive’s leds weren’t small enough to be calls Mini leds for a back light but they were close in size

I still see blooming and no DV. SAMSUNG you need to get with the program.

What's up with LG fanboys storming these videos? Looks like Samsung lives in your heads rent free

[Aualan]

All my tvs at home are from Samsung. the only thing that pisses me off is that Samsung no longer supports dts and still doesn't support dolby vision and dolby Atmos codecs. that's why I might go with LG next time.

For everyone not into TV industry short TLDR: this new "exclusive Samsung technology" is using Chinese TCL MiniLED panel (Samsung Display stopped producing any type of LCD knowing that OLED is better) which is on the market for 3 years and usually gives worse effects than regular Full Array Local Dimming, that's why if you want cheaper but good TV better go with Chinese manufacturers where you won't have to pay extra for branding (and you will get better system) or if you want the best go with OLED, Samsung itself knows it's the best as they use it in their flagship phones, tablets, laptops, watches etc, but they didn't go with it for TVs because they wouldn't make as much cash (as LG is only supplier of such size OLED displays) and they chose marketing of useless 8k and QLED which isn't any better over regular LCD

[Mofunkysheets]

The audio system so dumb lol. Anyone who is going to pay that much for a tv is not going to be using tv speakers. What a waste. Spending extra money for something u will never use.

[zarxik]

So they used Matrix and Neo in the name.

[chudmanrising]

Oye! Drop the one connect box already or at least make it easier to replace parts. I hate that a whole tv is bricked from a bad one connect cable.

[JAYZ]

Ok that’s definitely not what “conventional” TVs look like. Wtf kinda TVs you guys have?

[ultimatetechpro]

My Internet speed is 500mbps and it’s Wi-Fi 6 which means that I don’t have to worry about peak streaming hours and slow Internet connections + Netflix’s bit rate for 4k is 15 mbps

[OtherNation]

Starting price 65 inch model 4999 bucks. This is done for you xD

[Bradanthonyd]

Why is that one connect box so massive

[videon]

Most funny is that this video is in HD and try to show a image of a 4K TV

[marjanbatic]

If you fix how local dimming works in game mode then i will consider to buy it.
