Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. yesterday showcased its 2022 line-up of Neo QLED 8K, Soundbars, Accessories and Sustainability initiatives at its virtual Unbox & Discover event.
This year’s products attempt to redefine the role of television with design and screens do more than just entertainment.
We are focused on creating a seamless experience across all of our products, which allows consumers to effortlessly enjoy all their benefits. The 2022 Neo QLED 8K is designed to fulfil the needs and empower the passion of our consumers, and the innovations are sparked by their experiences.
Neo QLED 8K also has the power to unlock new experiences as the most important device at the centre of the home.

A Better Brain
At the heart of the 2022 Neo QLED 8K TV is the Neural Quantum Processor 8K and its Real Depth Enhancer.
The technology scans the screen and maximises contrast by enhancing the object while keeping the background unprocessed and takes advantage of the Quantum Mini LED’s precise Shape Adaptive Light Control.
According to Samsung, it works similarly to the way human eyes perceive images in real life.
Samsung’s new 2022 QLED has also received the world’s first ‘Pantone Validated’ certification in display from Pantone – the global authority on colour and creator of the Pantone Matching System (PMS).
It is able to reproduce more than 2,000 colours as well as the new 110 skin tone shades found in Pantone’s guidelines.
It also has EyeComfort Mode and can automatically adjust the display brightness and colour temperature based on its surroundings and time of day.
Dolby Atmos Sound with Smart Features
The Neural Quantum Processor 8K’s AI analyses what’s on screen and the Adaptive Sound track and moves between speakers to match the movement on screen.
On the QN900B – the flagship Neo QLED 8K model – all the sounds come from a 90W 6.2.4 channel audio system with new top channel speakers and Dolby Atmos with Object Tracking Sound Pro.
This technology has also been applied to voice recognition with Voice Tracking Sound.
Samsung is also introducing Wireless Dolby Atmos to its Neo QLED 4K and 8K TVs, and Samsung’s new 2022 Ultra Slim Soundbar.
