This is a classic flat panel TV.

But KS8000 quite with the same success can be the top in the world of LCD TVs. Its role here plays as a unique led backlighting technology Quantum Dots Display, and full support for standard HDR 1000. We’ll talk more about it.

⇡#video review of the Samsung SUHD line, 2016

the Abbreviation HDR (High Dynamic Range, extended dynamic range) is well known to all lovers of photography – in this area hidden pictures stitched together from multiple frames obtained with different exposures. This achieves the maximum study how the shadows and light areas. In the video, of course, the implementation of HDR is different – but the end result is essentially the same: maximum dynamic range.

In LCD TVs this is used exclusively by local illumination with LEDs, scattered over the whole substrate of the display to adjust the illumination smoothly, with maximum brightness at specific points, but not zasvechivaya dark areas. Also need a very accurate signal processing and, in cases where the content does not meet the standard, bringing it to mind.

the HDR Standard was adopted by the organization of the UHD Alliance at the beginning of this year: it implies the ability of the TV’s peak brightness of 1,000 NIT, the maximum acceptable illumination of dark areas of 0.05 nits.

With 10-bit color, which brought with it a quantum dot, OLED and extended dynamic range makes the quiet revolution in the world of the image.

Immediately the question arises – what about the content? The lack of it ruined not one glorious undertaking – to recall and not a new era of 3D. And will not be any problems – in fact, the vast majority of modern movies have to be removed with a wide dynamic range. To see the difference, you have to buy discs Ultra HD Blu-ray in their specification support HDR included by default. Over time, these specifications will penetrate and live streaming services.
