Samsung Malaysia Electronics has unveiled its 98” QLED 8K TV – its largest yet – adding to its 2019 TV lineup, officially giving Malaysians the largest 8K screen experience till date. The new Samsung QLED 8K TVs come equipped with Samsung’s Quantum Processor, an AI-powered picture and sound processing semiconductor technology which looks to improve entertainment experiences.

“Samsung has been the global leader in TV for 13 consecutive years. Throughout the years we are committed to delivering quality and innovative products through the understanding of our consumers’ need today. With the unveiling of our QLED 8K TV today, we are bringing a new dimension of reality through our 98” display. Our proprietary technology in Quantum Processor 8K once again raised the bar by upscaling the lower resolution content you watch to near 8K quality. We couldn’t be more excited to bring you one giant leap for reality with our Samsung QLED 8K TV,” said Jimmy Tan, Head of Consumer Electronics of Samsung Malaysia Electronics.

Unveiled by Samsung as an industry first, the machine-learning Quantum Processor employs its AI capabilities to learn and compare millions of images. This eventually helps to calibrate lower-resolution sources and upscale them into 8K-quality content regardless of the original format. With that, the issue of limited native 8K content is a non-issue for Samsung’s 2019 QLED TVs. Or so that is what they claim, but there is a limit to how just how much something can be upscaled. While understandably, this is looking more towards the future of 8K contents, and displays, rather than getting one now. I mean, how many people even have 4K TVs right now?

The key products in the 2019 QLED line-up include a suite of 8K and 4K TVs, such as the 8K Q900R that ranges from 65-inch to 98-inch in size, as well as the 4K Q90R, Q75R and Q60R that range from 49-inch to 82-inch in size. In total, the expanded 2019 QLED line-up features more than 20 models and includes more large-screen models.
