Often referred to as the "Empire", Samsung has a pivotal role in consumer electronics, semiconductors, panels, construction, chemicals, shipbuilding and even the military industry. In the field of panels, Samsung has overturned the monopoly of Japanese TV panel manufacturers through more than ten years of counter-cyclical investment and research and development regardless of cost. In the TV industry,Samsung from the panel、chip、Flash memory、Mold can be self-sufficient,Complete product line,There are layouts at all price points,Now Samsung TV's shipments rank first in the world。
 
Quantum dot technology
 
Many people are no strangers to OLED panels, Samsung's small-sized OLED panels dominate the market, and even Apple's iphone X uses Samsung's OLED screen. But Samsung TVs don't use OLED technology, and the technology tree is all on quantum dot technology. Quantum dot English isQuantum dot,So Samsung calls the color TV that uses quantum dot technology QLEDTV。 At present, this is a photoluminescence technology, simply put, it is to add a layer of quantum film between the backlight and the LCD panel, and the quantum dot film irradiated by the LED backlight can be excited to produce a backlight with high color purity, so that the panel has a wide color gamut.
 
While other manufacturers are still touting how high their color gamut coverage is, Samsung's full range of QLED TVs have obtained the "100% color rendering volume" certification. Generally, the color gamut level of color TV will deteriorate with the increase of brightness,The color gamut coverage of the usual discussion is limited to lower brightness,And SamsungQLEDTVeven at 1500nits of brightness can show100%DCI-P3Color in the color space,Significantly ahead of competing products including OLEDTV。
 
But quantum dots are not a panacea for picture quality,It only helps the color of the panel,It can even be said that QLEDTV still belongs to LCD TV,It still needs a good backlight module and picture adjustment to cooperate。 And Samsung is also an absolute first-line level in this regard.
 
QLED flagship Q9F
 
The flagship Q9F is Samsung's image quality benchmark, with a peak brightness of up to 2000 nits, and a dot matrix backlight of nearly 1,000 zones, which is often used by evaluation agencies to compete with Sony's flagship Z9D. In terms of hardware, the Q9F's QLED panel color gamut coverage is significantly ahead of SonyZ9D's LCD panel, while the brightness is slightly inferior to Sony's 4000 nits, except for the adjustment orientation, the rest of the performance is at the same level.
 
In terms of color tuning, it is completely different from Sony's natural and soft tuning style, Samsung's color tuning tends to be full and gorgeous, and it can give full play to the advantages of high color gamut panels. When dealing with bright objects such as the sun, Sony's image quality engine can better identify bright objects, and increase the local brightness to thousands of nits, actively giving full play to its brightness advantage, while the Samsung Q9F only stays at the brightness level of five or six hundred nits when displaying bright objects. In terms of bright field performance, Samsung is not as good as Sony, but it is still significantly ahead of OLED.
 
Deep Black Anti-Reflection Technology
 
But when it comes to darkfield performance, Samsung has a huge advantage. The high-end model is equipped with a new generation of deep black anti-reflection technology, and the surface of the panel is covered with a fine coating that simulates the structure of a moth eye, which can reduce the adverse effects of external ambient light and internal light leakage at the same time, and Samsung calls this kind of screen "black crystal screen". In natural light, the "black crystal screen" is a transparent pure black, while an ordinary LCD screen will be slightly gray under the light, which is a clear difference. Viewing in natural light environment,The dark field performance of the TV equipped with a black crystal panel is not even inferior to the OLED panel,It shows a very high contrast ratio,This is beyond even the reach of SonyZ9D。
 
Samsung's HDR format uses the ordinary HDR10 standard,Even the flagship model does not support"Dolby Vision"standard,Although it has developed its own HDR10+ standard,But the format is currently very niche,And Sony、LG、TCL、Hisense and other brands of flagship products have successively supported the Dolby Vision format,This is a pity for the Samsung flagship product positioned above 10,000 yuan,Its highlight performance is not as good as Sony's part of the reason。
 
QLED series
 
Samsung's high-end main QLED product model is prefixed with Q, Q6F is the entry model of the series, starting at seven or eight thousand yuan, equipped with ultra-high-definition local area light control technology, using 8bit panel. More than 10,000 yuanQ7F and Q8C panels are upgraded to10bit,Q8C and Q7FOne is flat and one is curved,Other specifications are the same,Equipped with master-level ultra-high-definition light control technology,Brightness reached1500nits,The panel is"Black crystal screen",In a normal lighting environment,Dark field performance is not inferior to OLED,And brightness、Color、Life、Power consumption and other aspects are perfect,It is the most competitive model in the same class。 The Q9F, which has been introduced earlier, differs from the former in its surprising number of zoned backlights and higher brightness, which is not inferior to the Sony Z9D's LCD flagship.
 
Samsung doesn't follow the trend of using ultra-thin side-entry backlights, and most products use direct-down backlights with better light control, but almost all of them have extremely flat backs that are suitable for wall hanging. The Q series and the wall series adopt a split design that separates the panel from the host, and the thickness is further reduced, especially the wall series, which can be hung on the wall seamlessly, like a mural, from which the name comes from. The screen is connected to the host with a 5 mm thick transparent optical fiber, which has the functions of data transmission and power cable, so that only a transparent and slender cable is left behind the whole machine after hanging on the wall. Compared with Xiaomi, which requires several black and thick cables to connect, LETV split TV, the judgment is made.
 
LCD TV series
 
It was also mentioned in the previous principle,Quantum dots only help to improve the color gamut,QLEDThe color of TV is very gorgeous,Not necessarily suitable for everyone,For other people,Non-QLEDLCD TV may be more cost-effective。 in2016SamsungQLEDThe birth of TV,Samsung's flagship has been played by LCD TVs,There are many high-quality products,For exampleMU8900、NU8000、NU7300、MU6880, etc.,The color brightness is slightly lower than that of quantum dot TV,But the overall picture quality is still good,Samsung's consistent high-value design and excellent workmanship,It is a cost-effective product。
 
When purchasing, it should be noted that the K/M/N in the model number represents the 2016/2017/2018 models respectively, such as the quantum dot flagship Q8C, which is divided into Q8CAM and Q8CAN, both of which were released in different years, and Samsung is used to putting products in the first two years on online channels. Buying new and not buying old is the rule of buying electronic products,Although TV is not a product that changes quickly,But the same model,If the older generation does not have a significant discount,You should buy a new one。
 
Curved TV
 
Samsung is also a leader in curved TVs. There is no doubt that curved surfaces can create a better sense of atmosphere, but some people also complain about the distortion of the picture when viewed at large angles, which are all objective advantages and disadvantages, and consumers need to choose their own. Samsung has a C in the curved TV model, while the flat model comes with an F. The more recommended curved models are NU7300C and MUC30, while the flagship Q8C is much more expensive than the Q7F with the same configuration, which is not cost-effective.
 
Built-in system
 
Samsung TVs use the self-developed Tizen system, which has very smooth speeds, and can be turned on or off in a second or two, with no boot time and annoying ads. Tizen's software resources are nowhere near as good as Android's, but most of the popular video apps do. A few are connected to Tencent's resources,The vast majority of models are connected to MangoTVandiQiyi's video resources,The amount of content in both of them is very rich,Of course, you can also choose to install film and televisionAPP。 Most of Samsung's high-end new products are launched in offline channels, and the high-end models online are relatively old, but some of the main cost-effective products will be launched online, so you may wish to look at both sides when buying.
