Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Samsung Shows World’s First Transparent MicroLED, 8K Wireless Projector”.
Hey everybody I’m here with Samsung and here’s some of the coolest things that they’re doing this year for television displays in 2024, first up micro, LED transparent. That’S right! Samsung has invented a way to actually see through the micro led to the other side, so microed displays in case you haven’t been paying attention. Samsung uses in their massive wall-sized television. It’S basically millions of tiny little LEDs super bright, great picture quality so now they’re making a transparent version of those screens. So the idea is, you look through the screen and you can see whatever’s behind it and meanwhile, what’s on the screen is brighter with better color than what you get from other transparent Technologies, namely transparent OLED, so transparent OLED has been around for a while.
It’S a little bit dimmer from this demonstration that I’ve seen right now than transparent micro LED, and so it has that advantage, microed of being not only brighter but also having better transparency. So you actually see- through a little more now transparent displays, not really the most practical thing thing, but you can imagine, for example, behind me Samsung showing a sports Stadium scenario where you’re sitting in a sky box and you’re looking through the glass, and you have the Scores and everything kind of displayed on the screen in front of you behind is the actual event itself, which is pretty cool. They also have a demo here, showing close-ups of all the different, transparent display technology, so really cool. Of course, this technology brand new hasn’t really been in the market, yet whether commercial or for consumers, so Samsung just started to introduce it now and we’ll see where it takes it later in the future.
So another worlds, first, that Samsung is going to be talking about is an 8K Wireless Ultra short throw projector. This is the highest end version of their Premier line, these Ultra short throat projectors. You can put them right up against the wall and get a gigantic image. This one is 150 in about 12 in from the wall, really big screen really bright picture, but the cool thing is that it actually is a wireless transmission technology.
So you plug all your stuff into a box across the room. It shoots that uh HDMI material, whatever from a game console or a cable box to the projector itself, with no wires. The only thing you have to plug in is the projector itself, so really cool technology. With this 8K Wireless transmission, now let’s go check out their new actual TV screens, so Samsung is the biggest TV maker in the world and sure we’ll see plenty of Q LED OLED TVs coming out this year, big sizes, small sizes, up to 98 in on the Q LEDs, but the thing that I saw that impressed me the most in the booth is this glare free screen finish that they’re putting on their new OLED televisions.
Now, Samsung’s OLED televisions were superb last year. My second favorite TV that I’ve tested up all time in terms of picture quality now this year. I think it might be even better because of this glare-free screen finish. I didn’t love the screen finish last year.
It really did kind of show some glare, it kind of washed out the picture a little bit, but from what I’ve seen in person with this one. Behind me, this TV is really kind of almost glare-free, so you have glare on a TV screen. It collects from lights in the room or Windows. What have you that can really detract from the picture quality, especially if you’re watching something dark in the middle of the day, where it’s really bright.
So this thing it looks like just from what I’ve seen really reduces that that glare on the screen, I was able to wave around a light, and it really you couldn’t see it at all. Now, next to this glare-free TV, they have a conventional OLED TV with a standard screen finish, which is pretty glossy and reflective in comparison so waving that light around. You can see the light in the screen really clearly, if you’re sitting and wearing a white shirt on a white couch or even some windows in the room, you can really see that reflected in the screen with the glare-free OLED TV tech really very little reflection. So I’m excited to check this out in the lab.
There might be maybe a picture quality detriment for this. Maybe it doesn’t look quite as sharp, but I’ll see when I test it out for now looks really promising. Now this glare-free OLED TV tech only available in their s95 D series of OLED televisions, so that’s their highest stand: OLED, TV, relatively expensive, but again not crazy, if you’re in the high-end market for one of these high performance televisions. So that’s a quick look at some of the Innovation.
Samsung is going to be bringing to TVs, projectors and even transparent technology in 2024. .
