Samsung Electronics announced that its 2017 QLED TV line-up was certified by the UHD Alliance (UHDA) as ULTRA HD PREMIUM. The certification encompasses the 2017 QLED TV portfolio, including the Q9, Q8 and Q7 models.
The UHDA’s ULTRA HD PREMIUM logo identifies products and services that meet or exceed strict performance levels for 4K resolution, high-dynamic range (HDR), and wide color spectrum. These specifications enable televisions, content and other external devices, such as UHD Blu-ray players, to display content in rich form, allowing the consumer to experience a more accurate content experience.
The QLED TV lineup features improved color performance displaying the DCI-P3 color space accurately and – in another world first for Samsung – can reproduce 100 percent color volume. This means Samsung’s new QLED TVs can express all colors at any level of brightness, exceeding UHDA requirements. This is a result of Samsung’s adoption of a new metal Quantum Dot material, making it possible for the TV to express an improved range of color with much greater detail compared to conventional TVs.
The UHDA is a global coalition comprised of more than 50 member companies and was established to foster and promote the Ultra HD ecosystem and benefits of Ultra HD technology. The alliance is also focused on helping consumers build a seamless, integrated and high-quality UHD ecosystem from end-to-end. UHD devices and content will be clearly marked so consumers can identify them in-store.
