What is a beautiful TV as an interior?
Samsung has been searching for a way to make the TV look beautiful, even if you haven't turned on TV for many years.And this time, we announced the latest QLED TV lineup with a new function called "Ambient Mode".
By combining the hardware well, the ambient mode shows the texture on the wall where the TV is installed, and the screen of the TV has disappeared like a chameleon.It is said that you can feel the illusion that TV appears there only when you want to watch it.
This ambient mode was performed in a demonstration held in New York the other day.The process required to set up ambient mode is to take a picture of a TV on the wall with a smartphone app, and then turn the camera to the display and the screen on the back wall and the screen.In this demonstration, the back was a brick wall, but when ambient mode was set, the TV was really assimilated with the wall (the photo above is (the above photo.It looks quite different from the actual brightness, but it may be because it was a demo environment in a relatively dark place).
I thought this was a pretty cool concept.It seems to be pleased when a friend comes to drink.In addition, you can add a dynamic effect, for example, in ambient mode, such as "a mountain that floats on the wall".
Last year, we announced a frame TV called "The Frame", which made the TV completely interior, but when this TV and ambient mode, the TV itself can be transformed into an art work.
In the ambient mode, you can display time, weather, and news headlines even when there are no people around you.This makes you feel the aim of Samsung that you want to put a TV at the center of your smart home.Because the new QLED SMART TV is equipped with a Bixby (Samsung virtual assistant), instructing a voice command to control a gadget connected to the house or play a specific program on the TV.You can do it.
In addition, QLED TV also has an energy -saving function, so if people or smartphones cannot be detected around, the display will automatically turn off the display.By the way, in ambient mode, it consumes 40-50%energy when playing a normal TV program.
The other thing to pay attention to in this year's QLED lineup is "One Invisible Connection". A year ago, Samsung introduced a "One Connect Box", which connects all input interfaces (HDMI, audio, etc.) to a TV with a single thin code, but still needed a separate power cable. This year's new "One Invisible Connection" has a power cable with a new cable with a length of about 45 feet (about 14m). By installing a TV in your favorite place and wiring a thin cable so that it is inconspicuous, you can not see the code connected to TV and the game console. SAMSUNG offers unnecessary elements on TV, such as unnecessary dark screens, tough cables, and stands, and pursues minimal beauty. It is necessary to actually use ambient mode and judge its use value.
The new latest model 65 -inch class Q9FN smart 4K UHD starts at $ 3,800 (about 400,000 yen) (translator: Well, you can't buy Samsung TV in Japan ... this is good).
