Samsung Micro LED TV 2024 features
Samsung's first-ever Micro LED TV was launched in 2018, and it was called The Wall (because it was as big as a wall). Over the years, the company has managed to release Micro LED TVs in smaller sizes. This year, Samsung's Micro LED TV is available in an 89-inch version.
Each pixel in a Micro LED TV is self-illuminating, which means it can create its own backlight and color, similar to OLED. However, it is made using a semiconductor material and doesn't use an organic material. So, there is no risk of burning out at high brightness or temperatures.
The new Micro LED TV from Samsung has a 4K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate (with VRR and AMD FreeSync Premium). It offers an infinite contrast ratio, perfect blacks, and a sustained brightness of up to 2,000 nits across the display. It features HDR10, HDR10+ Adaptive & Gaming, and HLG.
It uses the MICRO AI Processor to upscale content to 4K using AI. Its 4Vue feature lets you view four inputs simultaneously in a 2 x 2 grid. It has eight HDMI 2.1 ports (with ALLM and eARC), two USB Type-A ports, one digital optical audio out port, an Ethernet port, Wi-Fi 6, and Bluetooth 5.2. It has a built-in ambient light sensor and far-field microphones.
The TV is still not a standalone unit and is made using multiple Micro LED bezel-less panels. Once assembled, it looks like a standalone TV with virtually no bezels.
Its speakers are located all around its edges. It uses a 6.4.4-channel audio setup for a total power output of 120W RMS. Other audio features of the TV include Active Voice Amplifier, Adaptive Sound+, Bluetooth Audio (with Buds Auto Switch for Galaxy Buds), Multiroom Link, Object Sound Tracking Pro, Q-Symphony 4.0
