Crowd Pleasers: The Must-Have Smart TV Features For Every Viewer

These days, we all have to be master jugglers, so it’s only natural that we want one of our most-used household appliances – the mighty television – to be able to do everything, too. Enter the Samsung OLED, yes OLED! A new Samsung Smart TV range that is impressing tech experts around the world for excelling at displaying everything from video games to films, while also being a beautiful design piece to have in your home.

So if you like the idea of upgrading to a smart TV with a host of cutting-edge viewing features to please the whole tribe – no matter what they’re into – you’ll want to take a good look at Samsung OLED.

Meet The Hottest TV Star In Town

The Samsung OLED comes in both 55” and 65” screen sizes, to suit any space. Colour and brightness is stunning and life-like with Samsung's OLED pixels powered by Quantum Dot technology¹.  Each pixel consists of three subpixels (red, green, and blue) to optimise brightness, colour accuracy and durability. No white subpixels in sight to compromise colour reproduction.

Quantum Dot technology is one of the most exciting new technologies to come to televisions in years. “OLED has long been considered the best technology for TVs, but the one thing holding it back was a lack of brightness for HDR to really pop,” says award-winning technology journalist Alice Clarke. “OLED pixels powered by Quantum Dot technology make the picture much brighter than a standard OLED screen.”

TV Tech – Explained

All this talk about TV features can be confusing, so let’s pause a moment to explain some top terms. First up, what is Quantum Dot technology exactly? Quantum dots are tiny semi-conductor particles that convert light into specifically coloured light, allowing for much better light control than traditional LED TVs.

You might also be wondering, what does OLED stand for? That would be Organic Light-Emitting Diode. And finally, what is OLED and what is an OLED TV? An OLED TV is one that relies on self-illuminating pixels instead of an LED backlight. This allows for an almost infinite contrast ratio and the blackest blacks.

A TV For Everyone

Some TVs are designed to really excel at just two or three things. Maybe they’re great for movies and TV shows, but they don’t have the refresh rate for games or sport. “Samsung OLED is cleverly designed to be a great all-rounder”, says Jason Tavoletti, The Good Guys Buyer – Televisions and Accessories.

“Samsung has really delivered with this new Samsung TV for 2022, giving customers all the must have features. It has all the latest future-proofing features, including True Dolby Atmos, HDMI 2.1 on all 4 HDMI ports, HDR10+, 4K, 120Hz refresh rate, Q-Symphony and all the streaming apps you could want,” he says.
