Samsung's curved 4K TV range now in India, 65-inch model starts at Rs 3,85,900

Samsung has come late to the party after LG’s debut last year, but the company has finally launched its Curved TV range in India. The range includes a 105-inch Curved UHD TV, HU9000 and HU8000 Curved UHD TVs as well as the flat-screen HU8500 UHD TV. As the names suggest, all TVs in the new range support 4K resolution.   The 105-inch TV will no doubt be the most attractive of the lot, seeing as it is the biggest size available in the market currently. Samsung says this one offers “the ultimate cinema-quality experience in the living room.”  It has a 21:9 aspect ratio, which is said to be best for viewing high-resolution moviews. The display boasts 11 million pixels and 105 Curved UHD TV will be available in the second half of the year. Samsung has not mentioned the price of this particular model.   The HU9000 and HU8000 Curved UHD TVs also have 4K resolution on a much-more manageable curved screen. Samsung has used a  proprietary Auto Depth Enhancer technology, which supposedly analyzes regions of images and automatically adjusts contrast for a glasses-free 3D feel. Samsung has also employed something called PurColor technology, and Peak Illuminator & Precision Black for enhanced contrast, brightness and colour reproduction. Samsung’s HU9000 Curved UHD TV will be available in two sizes. The 65-inch one will cost you Rs 4,49,900, while the smaller model is priced at Rs 3,29,900. The H8000 Series will come in a 65-inch model for Rs 3,85,900, a 55-inch model for Rs 2,51,900 and a 48-inch model for Rs 1,62,900.   Finally, there’s the flat-screen HU8500 UHD Smart TV. It features Samsung’s proprietary UHD Dimming, which adjusts brightness to deliver deeper blacks and brighter whites. This one is available in a 65-inch model for INR 4,09,900 and a 55-inch model for Rs 2,93,900. Besides this, Samsung’s HU7000 in 40-inch size will be available for Rs 1, 04,900.

Samsung claims these are the only TVs on the market that are future-ready, thanks to the Samsung UHD Evolution Kit. Customers can switch out the One Connect box with the latest Samsung UHD Evolution Kit to stay up to date on the latest UHD standards.   Samsung has updated its Smart TV software and the new Smart Hub supposedly reduces searching. It has all the usual Samsung features such as  Multi-Link (Dual) for mutli-screen experience, live video streaming and web browsing.  It has new Multimedia and Social panels. Samsung says the Smart TV has become much faster thanks to the upgraded quad-core processor.
