Samsung Neo QLED 8K TVs: Key features
The first major announcement from Samsung is its Neo QLED 8K TVs, which now come equipped with the NQ8 Gen 3 NPU. This chipset enables upscaling capabilities in the TV up to 8K resolution using AI. It also helps to reduce motion blur while watching sports. The TV can automatically adjust the picture quality based on the content being played.
The Neo QLED 8K TVs have a thickness of just 12.9mm for an immersive viewing experience. Samsung says that the TV offers a unique mirror effect where it appears to hover in its surroundings with its Infinity Air Design. It also features Q-Symphony, which allows users to connect to multiple wireless speakers, soundbars, and even external projectors.
Samsung has also revamped its Tizen OS for its 2024 TV lineup. The new UI offers a faster content discovery experience, which will provide content suggestions based on viewing history.
Ahead of CES 2024, Samsung has unveiled its S95D TV with a glare-free design. It features a 77-inch OLED screen that is Pantone Verfified and comes with AI-enhanced colour accuracy. The new glare-free coating makes the TV up to 20% brighter.

Samsung Micro LED TV That’s Transparent
Samsung also revealed its developments in display technologies. The company has shared a teaser for a new Micro LED TV, which is transparent. When the TV is not in use, the screen appears as a piece of transparent glass.

However, the company did not release any details about the commercial availability of this product.
