Samsung does it well. New in QLEDs for 2019 are almost the same as good decisions

samsung qled 2019

Differences between the flagship QLED models and their cheaper, wallet-friendly subversions will become blurred. In principle, only one will be missing from them. And it is not something very important.

We already know almost everything about QLED TV sets for 2019. These are 8K and 4K TVs, including 8K Q900R with screen diagonal from 65 to 98 inches and 4K Q90R, Q80R, Q70R and Q60R, with diagonal from 43 to 82 inches. In total, the extended QLED range for 2019 includes more than 20 models and includes more TV models with very high diagonals.

Wide viewing angles on Samsung QLED TV sets for 2019

The first major novelty in the models for 2019 is the technique that Samsung calls Ultra Viewing Angle. As the name suggests, it aims to provide the opportunity to watch TV sitting almost at any angle relative to the television, without losing perceived image quality.

As Samsung explains, this mechanism changes the structure of the TV panels, thanks to which the backlight passes through a panel with even lighting on the screen. In theory, this means that buying TVs with IPS matrixes - those from the upper shelf - has just lost its meaning. Ultra Viewing Angle is present in Q80R, Q85R, Q90R and Q950R TVs.

Samsung war with OLED: Direct Full Array backlight even in cheaper models.

My readers probably associate that I am a huge enthusiast of organic matrices, considering them in the final analysis as better than liquid crystal ones. Mainly because of the perfect contrast they offer. The same Readers, however, also probably associate that I admire Samsung for not coming up against the monopolist on the market of TV producers of OLED matrixes. Competition is healthy for the market and for consumers - it's a truism that must not be forgotten.

One of the methods by which QLEDs achieve a high level of contrast is the one related to the illumination of the matrix. Last year, only three models were equipped with the most advanced, usually very good, Direct Full Array method. This year, this mechanism will go up to five. The Q70R and Q80R models will receive 48 backlight zones, the Q85R has 96 zones, and the Q90R and Q950R models have 480 backlight zones.

Improvements for players - better Game Mode.

Samsung is well aware of the fact that many of its customers are people who buy its products mainly to connect them to Xbox or other PlayStation. Therefore, he tries to ensure that the Game Mode offered in TV sets provides the most benefits. Consistent Samsung TVs offer low input lag (15 ms or less), invariably support HDMI 2.1 ALLM ( auto low-latency mode ), FreeSync frame synchronization, and 120 Hz at 2.5K resolution.

In this year's models, Samsung introduced a powerful processor to add to the Game Mode two new image processing functions without affecting input lag. These are PQ and Sound Enhancer (contrast, color and sound enhancement mechanisms) and Dynamic Black Equalizer (optimization of black levels and brightness).

Less reflections on the screen.

Last year, only three models were equipped with Ultra Black Elite, and thus an anti-reflective coating, thanks to which fewer elements of the surroundings are reflected on the screen. This year, it will be available to four models: Q80R, Q85R, Q90R and Q950R.

After the quantum dot, the time has come for a quantum processor.

Like the quantum dot shell, also the quantum processor has little to do with quantum mechanics, but it does not matter. It's not about marketing, but the effects are. And these may be interesting, because the technique of image reconstruction - about which Samsung first spoke on the occasion of the premiere of 8K TV sets - is to hit all this year's equipment from the QLED line.

This means that the TV, using artificial intelligence mechanisms trained by innumerable reference images, reconstructs the image in lower resolution to the native one for our TV, automatically complementing the missing details. I have not yet had the opportunity to test it in home conditions, but in theory it means that HD and Full HD content will look better on a 4K TV than with traditional image scaling.

Dolby Vision is still not supported by Samsung QLED.

I admire Samsung for the fight for independence with the only producer of TV OLED matrixes, and therefore LG Display. Unfortunately, I can not express the same in the fight for open image standards. As you probably recall, the open HDR10 + and free and proprietary Dolby Vision fight for the title of HDR10 successor.

Samsung is stubbornly promoting this open standard, which in itself is praiseworthy. However, as a result, it still refuses to support Dolby Vision, and it invariably dominates VoD and Blu-ray UHD. And although other HDR10 + promoters have already forgotten and use both formats in their TVs, still having QLED and a movie disc in Dolby Vision, we will watch the movie only in HDR10 format. Detriment.

The biggest novelty in the software? Previously announced service for Apple services.

QLED TVs for this year will enable the installation of the iTunes Movies application and will be compatible with the AirPlay 2 multimedia streaming format. We also enjoy the broadening of compliance with digital assistants: apart from inaccessible in Poland Bixbym under QLEDs, we can hook Alexa and premiere in Poland this year adapted for Google Assistant TVs.

The screen saver that Samsung defines as Ambient Mode has also been improved. In this mode, the TV consumes relatively little energy, displaying decorative graphic themes or our photos and configurable widgets with information. A wider range of visual themes will be available this year.

One Connect with invisible cable is still only in three models.

It is a pity, because it is absolutely amazing idea of ​​Samsung, which I would like to see in the whole range of QLEDs (and competition). We connect the Q85R, Q90R and Q950R to all image, sound, signal and power sources via one transparent cable. This leads to a hideable One Connect box, to which we connect the right signal and power wires.

Samsung QLED for 2019 - a list of models.

  • Q60R : the lowest model in the line. His main advantages are Quantum 4K processor, quantum dot coating and ambient mode. Available in 43-, 49-, 55-, 65-, 75- and 82-inch versions.
  • Q70R : better than the previous model with Direct Full Array (48 zones), brightness 1000 rivets. Available in 49-, 55- and 65-inch versions.
  • Q80R: better with Direct Full Array (96 zones), 1,500 rivets brightness and anti-reflective coating. Available in 55- and 65-inch versions.
  • Q85R: better with Direct Full Array (480 zones), One Connect Invisible Connection. Available in 55-, 65- and 75-inch versions.
  • Q90R: Better than 2000 rivets, available in 55-, 65- and 75-inch versions.
  • Q950R: better with 8K resolution panel and Quantum 8K processor and brightness from 3000 to 4000 rivets (depending on the diagonal). Available in 55-, 65-, 75- and 82-inch versions.

Prices and availability.

Unfortunately, Samsung does not want to officially give prices to the Polish market. As he explains, partners are responsible for sales and he has no right to give them. We know, however, that the equipment will go into circulation in Poland already next month. So we will wait for the first offers from leading distributors of RTV equipment in the country.
