Samsung unveils first Curved Full HD OLED TV

Samsung Electronics Ltd., a global leader in digital media and digital convergence technologies, has shown once more its leadership in the FULL HD TV market. It unveiled the first Curved Full HD OLED TV in the Kingdom at the launch event in Jeddah.
The 55-inch Curved OLED TV delivers an unrivaled combination between the self-lighten OLED pixels and the great details on the curved shape to provide a more immersive experience and an enhanced sense of presence.
Samsung’s GM Jae Cheon Park said: “Samsung has been able to keep its number one position for the 7th year in a row in the worldwide TV market because it presents innovative concepts year on year. Realizing a Curved Full HD OLED TV is more difficult to produce than a Curved OLED TV due to the panel characteristics; the world’s first Curved Full HD OLED TV proved Samsung’s unbeatable position in TV technology once again. Samsung succeeded in doing so by listening to its customers to cater to their ever changing and improving lifestyle. Our new Curved OLED TV translates that truthful experience in size and in picture.”
Adnan Matbouli, CEO of United Matbouli Group, said: “Our partnership with Samsung is reflected through an understanding of each other’s common goals by listening to the Saudi market and catering to their ever changing and improved lifestyle.”
Samsung’s Curved OLED provides a unique and unparalleled viewing experience thanks to its technology, which gives life to every pixel known as “self-emitting diode” delivering bright and vivid colors. Each pixel illuminates itself and displays pictures with absolute blacks at a contrast ratio never seen before on conventional TVs, he added.
The Curved OLED TV continues to discover new possibilities with its Multi-View capability that enables two users to watch two different channels simultaneously thanks to the 3D technology.
