2022 looks poised to be a huge year for technological innovations and releases. As one of the leaders in television technology, Samsung promises to have a great year as it unveils new TVs with new features and innovation.
The future of technology looks increasingly bright with every new development. As with every year, there is massive hype for the new wave of smartphones and computers. On the other hand, impressive innovations in the television industry are quietly flying under the radar. Between quality upgrades and the incorporation of smart technology, there is plenty to be excited about with TVs this year.
Reworked Smart Hub
With the help of the Tizen OS smart platform, Samsung TVs now feature smart technology. This enables users to browse streaming services, music platforms, and more from their television.
Samsung revamped their TVs with a new Smart Hub. The Smart Hub will utilize data to store your content and recommend new programs based on your preferences.
The new Smart Hub system will feature that provides access to three main categories: Ambient, Media, and Gaming.
- The Ambient Hub will function to allow users to run their TV in the background for pictures, noise, music, etc.
- The Media Hub will serve to provide users access to live programs, streaming platforms like Netflix and Hulu, and more.
- Finally, the Gaming Hub is intended to provide easy access for switching between console and cloud gaming.
Another new function on the Smart Hub system will be a watch together feature. This will allow Samsung TV customers to video chat with one another while watching a show or movie at the same time.
With these new innovations, Samsung products will be more user-friendly and connected than ever before.
Improvements for Gaming
With gaming technology improving rapidly, video games are more popular than ever before. In 2022, Samsung is taking strides to improve gaming experiences on their TVs.
As aforementioned, one such improvement is the new Gaming Hub set to feature on Samsung smart TVs. This hub will give gamers easier access to the games they love, and make switching between console and cloud easier than ever. The hub will store user data and preferences to suggest new games all the time.
Samsung TVs will also now be able to host all HDMI-connected consoles and controllers. For PC gamers, Samsung is set to get a boost in refresh rates for certain models. The boost from 120Hz to 144Hz will provide PC gamers with a cleaner and crisper experience.
There is no current confirmation on which models will receive the update. However, the company has promised that all new models will support the new refresh rate. These innovations are set to greatly improve the gaming experience of Samsung TVs.
Improved Processing Power
In 2021, Samsung unveiled their new Neo Quantum processor, and in 2022 they have continued to innovate. The new version of the processor promises boosts to the audio and visual quality of Samsung TVs.
As mentioned earlier, certain models with the Neo Quantum processor will receive upgrades to their refresh rates. However, all models will receive upgrades to visual quality. Brightness and depth perception will also improve in Samsung TVs thanks to new features of Shape Adaptive Light Control and Object Depth Enhancer software.
Along with the improvements to visual technology, Samsung is also continuing to improve its audio.
The TVs now feature Object Tracking Sound technology, which optimizes the audio as it moves along with the on-screen action. This new technology along with the addition of top channel speakers ensures a top-tier audio experience. The implementation of the Neo Quantum processor allows Samsung to take its TV quality to new heights.
More Practical MicroLED TVs
The new generation of TVs is MicroLEDs. Essentially, these MicroLEDs seek to serve the functions of OLED TVs without any of their drawbacks. The new MicroLEDs are brighter, clearer, and more reliable than the more classic OLED TV.
In 2021, Samsung released its first version of a MicroLED TV. Unfortunately, these models were only available in 99 or 110-inch screens that sold for over six figures. Samsung promised to deliver a more practical MicroLED in 2022, and they delivered…kind of. In 2022, Samsung will release an 89-inch MicroLED model. Currently, pricing for the 2022 model has yet to be released, but it will undoubtedly be rather expensive.
Because of the high cost, the MicroLEDs offer a 99.99% screen-body ratio, and best-in-class picture quality. The MicroLED models also come equipped with top, bottom, and side speakers to ensure high-quality sound.
They also feature a multi-view function that allows users to split their screens and watch multiple programs at once. Hopefully, the future of Samsung sees these MicroLEDs become a more practical option for consumers.
