Samsung launches world’s first curved Ultra High-Definition TV

MANILA, Philippines - “This year will be a big year for entertainment”, says Chung Lyong Lee, Samsung Electronics Philippines Corp. (SEPCO) president and managing director.

The leader in innovation and design once again outdoes itself in its latest TV model release: the world’s first curved Ultra High-Definition (UHD) TV. This newest lineup from Samsung is geared toward fulfilling the needs and desires of Filipino viewers.

The Samsung Curved UHD TV boasts of crisp picture quality, four times more powerful than a FHD screen, and a change in perspective that makes images appear larger and true to life.

As compared to flat-screen TVs, this special screen allows for a more realistic viewing experience even from different angles — ensuring that everyone gets the best seat in the house. The combination of the curved screen and Samsung Proprietary Auto Depth Enhancer UHD technology automatically adjusts contrast for a greater sense of depth and gives a 3D-like effect without requiring glasses.

Imagine seeing images coming to life right in front of you in spectacular color, clarity and detail that only Samsung can give. Amazing, isn’t it? Even the color is further enhanced using the PurColor technology that reproduces color for even more detailed expression.

In addition to this, Samsung makes sure that the usage is a breeze with its user-friendly operating system. This Curved UHD TV is easy, fast and fun to use with its multi-link screen feature that allows dual screens to process separate tasks that operate alongside each other.

Side-by-side enjoyment of multiple entertainment portals (think comparing the trailer on YouTube.com vis-a-vis its original cut on Bluray) is now made possible by Samsung’s innovative TV line. Users need not to worry about cutting down on speed performance, thanks to the upgraded quad core processor, the Quad Core Plus, which delivers quicker loading and navigation through tasks and commands.

Browse through the panels for apps, multimedia content, NewsOn features and more with the swift speed of the Samsung Smart TV. The Curved UHD Smart TV is available in 78 inches, 65 inches, and 55 inches in all Samsung outlets nationwide.

2014 product lineup: Built for Phl market

Aside from the curved UHD TV, Samsung has tailored this year’s product lineup with the Philippine market in mind. Some of the features worth highlighting are the Internet capability of the TVs, perfect for social media and Internet-savvy Filipino users, and the Family TV feature that lets family members maximize the Samsung experience with Screen Capture and Sound capture to instantly catalogue their favorite moments on screen for personal viewing in the future.

Plus, all these saved images and information are automatically saved in your USB for easy storage and access. There’s also Soccer Mode, designed specifically for a more enjoyable sports-watching experience with optimized picture and sound quality. Soccer fans can now zoom in, auto and manual highlight, and record moments throughout the game for a more interactive and closer look at their favorite sport. 

And for those hungry for local content, there is Clickplay (the only Philippine video-on-demand app with Hollywood content), and NewsOn page powered by Yahoo PH.
