All of Samsung’s SUHD Quantum dot display TVs can achieve 1,000nits peak brightness which meets the industry standards of how HDR content is being mastered, meaning viewers can watch content exactly as the creator intended.
Four years after Samsung introduced the first Curved TVs to the world, the new range includes the world’s first bezel-less Curved TV, the KS9000 which delivers a more immersive viewing experience than ever before. With no bezel, the viewer’s attention is focused purely on the amazing content on screen.

A Seamless Entertainment Experience
Samsung’s Smart TVs make it easier for people to discover and access all their favourite content – from TV and movies to games and program information thanks to the Smart Hub it’s all housed in one place. Never before has streaming UHD movies on Netflix or catching up on Game of Thrones through Amazon been easier with just 3 clicks needed to reach your favourite content.
