Samsung has officially launched its 2024 Neo QLED and OLED premium smart TV line-up for the local market. All models unveiled today initially made their debut for the global market in late March this year, featuring new hardware and AI-powered functions which promises enhanced viewing experiences in more ways than one.
To recap, the new Neo QLED 8K TVs are made up of the QN900D and the QN800D series, which are available in 75- and 85-inch sizes. The former is powered by Samsung’s latest and most advanced NQ8 AI Gen3 processor, while the latter comes with the NQ8 AI Gen2 chip. While all TVs under either series support a maximum resolution of 8K (7680 x 4320 pixels), only the QN900D models come with 240Hz refresh rates, while the QN800D supports 120Hz instead.
Among the new AI features offered by the QN900D and QN800D is AI Upscaling, which is capable of upscaling resolutions as low as SD (480p) to 8K in real-time. There’s also the AI Motion Enhancer feature that eliminates ghosting from fast moving objects, Real Depth Enhancer which adds lifelike yet immersive depth to visuals, and AI Auto Game Mode that automatically detects the type of games you play and optimises visual output accordingly.
Audio-wise, the Dolby Atmos sound system on both models also comes with AI-powered features, such as Active Amplifier which allows certain sounds to be enhanced for a clearer and deeper audio experience. Further enhancing the experience is Object Tracking Sound and Adaptive Sound features that can create more natural-sounding audio that matches the current content.
Next up is Samsung’s 2024 Neo QLED 4K QN90D range that’s available from 55 to 98 inches in size. All models are equipped with the brand’s NQ8 AI Gen2 chip, has HDR support, Motion Xcelerator-powered 144Hz refresh rate, 4K AI upscaling, Real Depth Enhancer Pro, AI Auto Game Mode, Active Voice Amplifier Pro, and Adaptive Sound Pro.
Last but not least is the 2024 OLED TV line-up, consisting of the S95D and S90D series, which are available in 65- to 77-inch sizes. Like the Neo QLED 4K options, the two also feature the NQ8 AI Gen2 processor, along with features such as Motion Xcelerator 144Hz, Real Depth Enhancer, OLED HDR Pro, and much more. However, keep in mind that only the S95D TVs come with Samsung’s new Glare-Free OLED panels, which promises minimum reflections even in daylight.
The new Neo QLED QN900D and QN800D 8K TVs start from RM30,999 and RM24,999 respectively, while the Neo QLED QN90D 4K TVs are offered from RM12,299. On the other hand, the 2024 OLED S95D and S90D models start from RM17,999 and RM15,999 respectively.
