What is 8k and how to understand this technology?

Latin America. Imagine a screen that has 16 times the resolution of a Full HD TV, which has artificial intelligence to improve the picture and sound experience, and the option to scale any content to an 8K resolution to provide images with greater depth and more intense colors is a reality in Colombia thanks to the new Samsung QLED 8K TV.

This innovative device, in addition to having the latest technology, complements any space giving it a unique style, by turning the screen into a decorative element and showing personal, artistic or photographic content.

However, to understand the true innovation of this TV, we will explain what is an 8K resolution? What content exists in 8K? What do the images look like in 8K resolution?, among others.

What is 8K?
8K technology has a total resolution of 7,680 x 4,320 pixels, that is, it is equivalent to a quality four times higher than that of a 4K UHD TV and 16 times higher than that of a Full HD (FHD).

The QLED 8K TV has more than 33 million pixels and given the increase in resolution, it allows to show pixels invisible to the human eye from an optimal viewing distance. In this way, a series or movie that could be slightly blurred or artificial on a UHD screen, on an 8K TV will display it with an image resolution, incredible detail and unique depth.

How does it work?
This new line of televisions has a new processor, the Quantum 8K processor, which, through artificial intelligence, becomes responsible for scaling any content regardless of the source of origin. A DVD or Blu-ray video, or lower resolution content (such as HD or Full HD), is converted and scaled to a resolution close to 8K while minimizing image distortion. This processor is also capable of learning and analyzing the type of images that the user sees on the TV. Through this learning, you will improve the optimization of them. That's why to enjoy an 8K QLED you don't need exclusive content in this resolution.

Likewise, whether it is a football match, a movie, concert or any other type of content, the Quantum 8K Processor not only optimizes the resolution, but through its Intelligent Audio system makes the sound of the TV automatically adjust according to the type of content that the user is watching and also optimizes it based on the space in which the TV is located.

The advantages of QLED 8K TV
Bixby, Samsung's voice assistant is now part of the QLED 8K line. Through voice commands, the user will be able to directly search and select the content.

The minimalist design of the new QLED 8K incorporates very thin frames and the possibility of minimizing the separation between the equipment and the wall with the support with the latest generation design that it includes, in addition to the renewed Ambient Mode, a feature that seeks to mimic the TV with the back wall when it is off. This tool not only copies the colors of the environment and transfers them to the TV, but also allows you to display content such as the weather, the time, personal photos that are uploaded to the equipment, and even works of art, all under a minimum consumption of electricity.
