Samsung Smart TV launched


Techno Blue launched in Qatar yesterday the 2011 Samsung Smart TV range, which the global electronics major claims would redefine the home entertainment experience.
“Samsung Smart TVs offer an immersive viewing experience with its minimal aesthetics and 3D impact, as well as a new world of web-connected TV entertainment,” Samsung Gulf Electronics audio video division general manager Justin Shaw said.
“The ‘Smart Hub’ is the interface to all smart features, offering a simple menu system that is easy to connect, discover and enjoy a wide range of content,” he explained.
Users can also easily search for movies, shows and videos via online services and across connected devices, browse the Web from their TV and access a wide variety of applications from Samsung Apps, the world’s first HDTV-based apps store.
“The number of downloads from Samsung Apps has crossed 3mn since November 2010,” Shaw said.
Currently Samsung Apps boasts around 400 applications, of which approximately 300 are free, and is looking into increasing that number to 1,000 by end of 2011.
Samsung’s enhanced Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) feature called ‘All Share’ offers a wireless network, allowing users to share HD quality content such as pictures, videos and music among all Samsung and other DLNA compatible digital devices, including mobile phones, notebooks and digital cameras.
Search All, a feature unique to Samsung Smart TVs, makes it easy to access and search for desired content on the web and other DLNA connected devices, networked PC and mobile devices, and Internet and video-on-demand services.
Social TV, makes it easy to chat with friends and family in real-time while watching the same TV content, on account of integration with social networks such as Facebook, Twitter and Google Talk.
Web Browser offers Samsung’s proprietary built in Web Browser that includes full flash video support, allowing users to surf the net right from the Smart TV.
For easy navigation, any Android or Apple OS device can be turned into a Cursor Control remote control or QWERTY keyboard by downloading the relevant mobile application.
Second TV is a Samsung proprietary feature that allows users to stream visual content between devices where viewers will be able to push Blu-ray, DVD and live TV from their screen to other Samsung devices such as tablets and Galaxy smart phones.
In addition, Samsung has launched a Total 3D Solution, which includes a 3D Audio technology that simulates the height and depth of the audio track by distinguishing between foreground and background sounds to create an immersive experience.
Samsung Total 3D also includes the world’s slimmest 3D Blu-ray player; the BD-D7500, silhouette-designed 3D active glasses which are now the world’s lightest 3D active glasses at just 28gm, and a new wireless charger which charges up to four pairs of active 3D glasses.
Samsung’s new 3D glasses use Bluetooth instead of infrared signals to sync with the 3D TV, meaning the glasses do not need to have line-of-sight with the TV set.
“The Samsung Smart TV line-up includes a range of LED, LCD and PDP TVs,” product manager Moon Hwang said.
The flagship D8000 LED Smart TV with 3D capabilities has a 5 mm brushed metal bezel, a fine line that slightly frames the screen and enhances the TV’s light form
factor.
“Samsung’s Smart PDP TV range delivers the best viewing experience in 2D and 3D coupled,” he explained.
The range also offers Samsung’s Plasma+1 design, which features a new narrow bezel that adds one inch of viewable screen size.
Samsung Gulf Electronics Audio Visual Sales Group director B J Kim, Techno Blue chairman Nabil A R Abu Issa, executive manager R Srinivasan, sales and marketing manager Abdul Salam were present on the dais.
