Gone are the days when you had to stick to the TV to see every detail and action. Today, big TV screens are popular only with moviegoers; They are more popular and affordable than ever.
The size of the screens used in the home has evolved in parallel with their technology. The detail, color and movement offered by televisions has improved and the content is even more remarkable in large format.
The era of premium television began with QLED Neo 4K
Samsung’s QLED Neo is at the forefront of premium displays, with state-of-the-art mini-LED and quantum dot technology that delivers excellent contrast and strikingly accurate colors. QLED Neo’s exceptional picture quality becomes even more apparent on a larger screen.
The 98-inch QN100B, Samsung QLED Neo 4K offers the viewer the best ultra-thin control thanks to its Quantum Matrix technology and its very large grid of mini-quantum LEDs. This allows the viewer to see every detail with greater color and contrast, even when the scene is very dark. The subtle nuances of light and color are analyzed and processed scene by scene to ensure every shot is of the highest quality.
This display, which offers unprecedented performance for watching movies, programs and games, has been praised by many experts and users. Recently, IMAX praised the super-large 98-inch QLED Neo 4K for its performance, which delivers an extremely sharp image in a critical reference environment.
“Having calibrated and evaluated this new TV, I can tell you that we are impressed with how well the picture quality matches that of the mastering control monitor we use in post production,” he commented Bruce Markoe, senior vice president and director of post production at IMAX Corporation. “We find it interesting to use very large, high-quality screens for mastering content with IMAX’s superior mixers. A large screen with good picture quality is the best way to use our DMR technology during the mastering process. »

A reference monitor is a special screen used for grading colors during post-production. Reference monitors need to produce a highly accurate image so teams can create the highest quality content possible.
To deliver an exceptional cinematic experience, films at IMAX are shot with cameras whose resolution can reach up to 16K, which means the mastering monitor used must be extremely precise to faithfully reflect the creators’ intention.
Enhance the premium viewing experience with QLED Neo 8K
Samsung’s QLED Neo 8K surpasses the high performance of QLED Neo 4K. These displays deliver the dazzling picture quality users have come to expect from Samsung, with an even better 8K resolution. With the Neo Quantum Processor 8K, state-of-the-art neural optimization networks deliver crisp content and pristine image quality.
An 8K TV is a great way to set up a home entertainment system as streaming platforms are starting to offer content optimized for a wider 1.9:1 screen ratio, perfect for an immersive cinematic experience.
Premium TV sales soar with the advent of QLED Neo 4K and 8K
As TVs offer more content and features to do more things, purchases of larger TVs are expected to continue to increase. According to Omdia, the market for TVs over 80 inches is expected to grow from 2.8 million units in 2022 to 3.5 million units in 2023, an increase of 24%.
The range of premium TVs has also helped Samsung solidify the leadership position it has held in the television industry for 17 years. In 2022, Samsung sold 9.65 million QLED and Neo-QLED TVs, a staggering number that brings cumulative sales since the launch of its QLED technology in 2017 to 35 million units.
Samsung also led the ultra-wide TV market segment in 2022, reporting global market shares of 36.1% and 42.9% for TVs over 75 inches and 80 inches, respectively.
