Aiming to enhance its 2016 range of top-end TVs, Samsung has added a High Dynamic Range (HDR) firmware update to all of its 2016 SUHD TVs with Quantum dot display.
Samsung HDR 28 JUly 2016HDR is seen an essential element of Samsung’s 2016 SUHD TV line-up, representing the new era of Ultra HD TV viewing. HDR increases the range of luminance, enabling the TV to display new colours and significantly expanding the range of the contrast ratio on-screen. HDR+ can upgrade Standard Dynamic Range (SDR) content to HDR-like picture quality.
The automatic upgrade is currently available for all 2016 SUHD TVs, and will be available for all HDR-compatible 2016 UHD TVs models by September. In Expert Mode, picture quality experts can customise HDR effects to suit individual users by calibrating brightness, contrast ratio and gradation to the finest degree. These settings can be accessed within the Picture - Special viewing mode options, where HDR+ is activated.
“The HDR+ function offers an exceptional HDR viewing experience to all 2016 SUHD and UHD TV consumers,” explained Samsung Electronics vice president, visual display business, Jong-hee Han. “We’re thrilled to share this latest advancement with our consumers, which they can access directly on their 2016 SUHD TVs, as Samsung continues to bring the highest form of picture quality right to their living rooms.”
