The Most Exciting Entertainment Experience
Samsung continues to lead the TV industry – not only in terms of sales, but also by being the first company to offer a wide range of UHD TVs – four of which are curved for a powerful, theatrical experience. At this year’s CES, the company also introduced the “Bendable TV” concept, which allows viewers to switch between curved and flat screens with the touch of a button. With the introduction of these TVs, Samsung is fundamentally changing the way people watch TV.
The world’s largest curved UHD TV – measuring 105 inches – pioneers a 21:9 aspect ratio and double the contrast ratio of a flat TV. In addition, viewers can enjoy a glasses-free 3D experience with the new Auto Depth Enhancer. The UHD experience offered by Samsung TVs is further enhanced through new exclusive technologies that deliver incredible depth, detail and color, including PurColorTM technology that presents shades in greater detail and UHD upscaling that converts HD and Full HD content to near UHD quality. Samsung’s revolutionary curved design creates the most immersive viewing experience and allows viewers to enjoy the show from any angle. In addition, with Samsung’s new Instant On feature, users no longer have to wait for their TVs to turn on.
Research shows that the majority of potential TV buyers are concerned that they may make their purchase at the wrong time – just before a new technology becomes available. Samsung has proven that it is still the only company offering truly timeless TVs by launching its first “evolution kit” for UHD TVs. The “evolution kit” – available for both select HD and all UHD TVs – ensures that the TV is running on the latest specifications and technology.
Samsung TVs are also getting smarter with the new Multi-Link feature that enables multitasking on the big screen, as well as the new Smart Hub. The 2014 Samsung Smart Hub includes a Games Panel, which allows users to enjoy games on the big screen from leading partners such as Electronic Arts (EA) and Gameloft. The Smart TV’s performance is further enhanced with the upgraded Samsung QuadCore Plus processor that boasts twice the speed of its predecessor.
Through its partnership with content providers such as Amazon, Comcast, DIRECTV, M-GO and Netflix, Samsung will offer its customers an unrivaled range of UHD content. Film director Michael Bay, who attended Samsung’s press conference at CES, said that the curved Samsung UHD TV will offer a new, innovative way to watch movies at home, and announced that he will exclusively hold the first unofficial screening of his film “Transformers 4” on Samsung UHD TV.
Upgrade your kitchen and living room with cutting-edge, professional appliances
This year marks the debut of the groundbreaking Chef Collection of home appliances that combines a passion for cooking with the insights of Samsung’s Club Des Chefs – a group of Michelin-starred chefs who help Samsung craft kitchen appliances that meet the needs of both foodies and the most demanding chefs. The range includes a refrigerator, range, oven, microwave, and a dishwasher featuring revolutionary WaterwallTM technology for perfect cleaning every time.
Samsung’s Chef Collection 4-door refrigerator heralds a new era in professional food preservation, storage, organization and meal preparation. With Samsung’s triple cooling system, the refrigerator is built to keep food fresh and delicious. In addition, Samsung’s Chef Pantry, a temperature-controlled compartment, maintains the temperature at 30°F (approximately -10 C), so foods such as fish remain properly chilled before cooking. Samsung’s Chef Pan, a multi-purpose storage space in the refrigerator, can also be used for marinating food and storing food. The Chef Pan is oven-safe and dishwasher-safe. The refrigerator also features a flexible Fridge-in-Freeze compartment that can be converted from a refrigerator to a freezer and vice versa. With a capacity of 33.3 cu. ft (DOE 2014 standard) or 34 full bags of food, Samsung's new product can hold more produce than any other refrigerator on the market.
In addition to the Chef Collection refrigerator, the company introduced Food Showcase refrigerator to the US market – combining great looks with smart interior storage design and innovative technology that keeps food fresher longer and creates more space inside.
Samsung also introduced the new Samsung WF9000. With a maximum load capacity of 5.6 cu. ft. (or about 26 kg), the washer can wash as many clothes as an average U.S. washer can wash in one go in record time, which is more than four loads. With Samsung’s product and efficient PowerFoamTM technology, a deeper, faster and more thorough wash is possible. The company’s new EZ Reach is lower and has a shallower, larger-diameter drum, while it is equipped with AquaJetTM cleaning technology, which penetrates fabrics faster through the water spray.
Samsung also introduced the VU7000 Motion Sync Vacuum Cleaner, which utilizes Samsung’s revolutionary Motion Sync Design that allows for greater flexibility. The model includes an innovative fully detachable handheld vacuum that can be used as a separate vacuum cleaner for stairs and tight spaces.
Making the Connected Home a Reality
new Smart Home gives consumers control over their home devices with a single app that connects personal and home devices through an integrated platform and server. With a single app on a Smart TV, digital camera, smartphone or wearable device like the Galaxy Gear, consumers can control home appliances – from washing machines to lights and air conditioners – whether they are inside or outside the home. Controlling devices is made even easier with voice commands.
The Smart Home service will initially offer three main functions. The Device Control function allows consumers to operate one or more home appliances simultaneously through their mobile device or Smart TV, regardless of where they are. Home View is a function that allows users to monitor their home in real time, directly from their smartphone, either through the built-in cameras or a digital camera. Finally, the Smart Customer Service function offers notifications and assistance with customer service issues.
Galaxy NotePRO and TabPRO Set New Standards in Tablet Category
Productivity, performance and portability characterize Samsung’s new GalaxyPRO tablet series. The Galaxy NotePRO and TabPRO bring the best viewing experience on a tablet, through the world’s first 12.2-inch WQXGA display, which features more than 4 million pixels. They offer a viewing area 48% larger than traditional 10-inch tablets, allowing users to enjoy stunning Full HD video, more information, as well as a new UX design that enhances every type of content.
Both product lines are distinguished by their advanced features, such as Multi Window, through which users can monitor up to four windows simultaneously on their screen, and Remote PC, an interactive tool for e-meetings and video conferencing.
The Galaxy NotePRO and TabPRO feature either pre-built or free-to-download premium applications, content and services, creating an excellent package with rich content for users.
Samsung allows consumers to choose the size of the device they want, offering the TabPRO models in 8.4 and 10.1 inches.
