RIDGEFIELD PARK, N.J. – April 2, 2015 – Samsung Electronics America, Inc., the leader in home entertainment for nine consecutive years, today unveiled the availability and pricing for its 2015 line of premium TVs, including the groundbreaking series of flagship SUHD TVs.

“Combining breathtaking design with technology that provides dazzling color, stark contrasts and superb brightness, our radically new line of SUHD and UHD televisions set a new industry standard for the best picture quality available today,” said Dave Das, Senior Vice President, Samsung Electronics America. “In addition to featuring breakthrough display technology, our 2015 line is powered by our new Smart TV platform that not only brings consumers an intuitive user interface, but also makes it easy to share content between your Samsung mobile devices and 2015 Samsung televisions.”

The Next Step In Picture Quality Worthy of the Human Eye

Whether it’s LCD, LED or most recently UHD, Samsung has pushed the boundaries of TV innovation to new levels. In 2015, Samsung continues to demonstrate its heritage of innovation by introducing the world to masterpieces in display engineering with its line of premium Curved SUHD TVs. With more than five years of research and development behind its proprietary Cadmium-free nano-crystal technology, Samsung’s SUHD TVs produce a crystal clear color representation that results in a magnificent display of life-like picture quality. Combined with Samsung’s Peak Illuminator, these breakthroughs in screen technology produce a wider color range, delivering more detailed color expression, enhanced contrast that enables the deepest blacks seen on an LED screen, and unmatched brightness creating an entirely new category of TV.

With improved panel efficiency, superior color accuracy, and enhanced brightness precision, SUHD TVs provide unrivaled picture quality. Along with these exceptional improvements in color and brightness, Samsung incorporates local dimming technologies to minimize black loss, improve contrast, and deliver the deepest blacks currently available without loss of detail. The first line of SUHD TVs are no exception to Samsung’s strong tradition of design. From curved to flat, Samsung’s SUHD TVs capture the design aesthetic of contemporary art and architecture that are both captivating and functional.

A Smarter and More Integrated Smart TV

To further enhance its award winning Smart TV platform, all 2015 Samsung Smart TVs will now feature the Tizen Operating System. This revolutionary Smart TV platform incorporates an intuitive user interface to access the most popular streaming content and includes the Quick Connect feature that enables easy connection with select mobile devices for an enjoyable second screen experience. Powered by an OctaCore processor, Tizen delivers enhanced performance, enhanced graphics and a bevy of brilliant new features.

Samsung Smart TVs bridge the gap between mobile and the living room by acting as a complete home entertainment hub that can be controlled by select Samsung Galaxy smartphones, offering wireless access to movies, and later this year photos, and music stored on other devices. With one press of a button users can share any content from their select Samsung smartphone or tablet with their TV, while still browsing or chatting on their mobile device. This revolutionary mobile-to-TV convergence allows consumers easy and unparalleled access to an ever expanding content ecosystem.

UHD Content and Beyond

Samsung’s commitment to deliver the ultimate home entertainment experience does not stop at the product level. Samsung is working towards a more robust UHD ecosystem, including more and wider access to UHD optimized content. As a founding member of the newly formed UHD Alliance, Samsung joins Hollywood studios, content distributors, other consumer electronics brands, post-production and video technology companies to help define, and set a standard to ensure consumers will have access to the very best premium UHD content through the very best playback device.
