Samsung 2023 TV Lineup by Landon A. Opipari
Samsung has begun rolling out information about their new tv lineup this year. They have put a larger focus on the higher end models.
The big new features are related to improvement of past models. The current push from tv manufacturers at the high end relates to their ‘panel type’. What this mostly ranges from is LED, OLED, and Micro LED.
LED panels are saved for lower priced options, with OLED and Micro LED occupying the same space. Samsung uses Micro LED, and competitors use OLED on the high end.
LED doesn’t get as bright as Micro LED, or as Dark, along with having less color options than OLED. OLED panels can get perfect Black levels, but run the risk of the picture staying “burned into the screen” with burn in. This is really a result of pixels failing with use. Micro LEDs and LEDs have lighting zones, so they don’t encounter this. Micro LED technology is new, and it includes hundreds of lighting zones to replicate OLED colors. This is the 2nd generation of the technology being used on the flagship models.
For both 4K and 8K tv’s, Samsung promises improvements to color accuracy, bezel size, tv sizes, and sound features. They describe their Quantum dots technology as: “Quantum Mini LEDs that take control of the individual zones of light in your picture for next-level color and contrast. You won’t just be watching TV—you’ll be living it” (Samsung.com).
Their new interface includes new gaming features and other improvements to last year’s software. In addition, all new models have updated processors.
Tv fans and people in the market for a new TV have a lot of choices. Samsung has differentiated this year by changing the model name to QC and QNC, with the number going between the Q or the QN and before the C. So the Q60B is the Q60C, etc. All Q models include Samsung’s solar powered eco friendly remote. Pricing is consistent with last year’s models.
