Samsung Returns to CEDIA After Years of Absence
Samsung will be returning to the CEDIA expo after an absence that lasted over five years. According to Jim Kiczek, the Vice President of Samsung’s digital video and audio group, the company’s exhibit will promote their first premium soundbars and their first 4K Blu-Ray player. Samsung will also be promoting the lifetime burn-in guarantee on all SUHD TV’s. The burn-in guarantee, which is at the top of the company’s list of labor warranties, promises to replace or repair any quantum-dot 2016 SUHD TV purchased within the United States. What makes the SUHD TV so special (and expensive with prices up to almost twenty thousand dollars) is the 10-bit quantum dot technology that expands color gamut.
According to one spokesman, the real reason behind Samsung’s return to CEDIA is the launch of HDR-equipped TV’s. Although the company’s TV focus will be on the SUHD TV’s, Samsung will compare the performance of its HDR and non-HDR TV’s for attendees of CEDIA 2016.
