The Matrix franchise gets a new film this
year (apparently), but now there’s another
Neo in town. And while Samsung insists
microLED is the future of TV, it’s not done
with QLED yet.
‘Neo QLED’ is the name Samsung has
picked for its miniLED sets (not to be
confused with microLED, a whole new
tech with even smaller diodes), which
replace the traditional TV backlight with
a more precise and sophisticated solution.
Powered by Quantum Matrix tech (yes,
really), Neo QLED is claimed to eliminate
blooming effects for cleaner images plus
the promise of vibrant colour with wider
dynamic range. The new Neo Quantum
Processor uses deep learning for improved
upscaling, delivering crisp pictures even
with lower-res streams, plus there’s a
speaker system that analyses what’s on
screen for 3D positional output.
Coming in 4K variants as well as this 8K
beast, there are plenty of reasons to want
one, but Samsung can only show you the
door – you’re the one who has to walk
through it.
