Samsung has issued a press statement detailing some of the enhancements made to its premium Neo QLED TVs for the 2022 model year.

While it isn’t specified in the news announcement, Engadget claims that certain of these sets, which include not just 4K but also 8K versions, will be the company’s first to offer 144 Hz refresh rates. This is an upgrade over LG’s competitive OLEDs, which operate at 120 Hz by default.

“[…] the standard Neo QLED TVs now contain what Samsung claims are the first 4K and 8K sets with 144Hz inputs rather than the customary 120Hz,” according to the newspaper. “While even the fastest PCs will struggle to handle high-speed 4K and 8K material, you won’t have to worry about your premium TV becoming outdated anytime soon.”

Samsung has also created a new platform for its Smart TVs in 2022 that will enable consumers to experiment with NFTs from the comfort of their own home. The platform, dubbed Smart Hub, includes a Gaming Hub with game streaming services (such as NVIDIA GeForce NOW) and calibration tools, among other things.

In a bullet list of Smart Hub capabilities, Samsung noted regarding its NFT platform: “This application includes a straightforward, integrated platform for finding, buying, and exchanging digital artwork via MICRO LED, Neo QLED, and The Frame.” “The new Smart Hub will direct customers to their favorite content or assist them in discovering something new, all while saving time.”

Samsung has upgraded the Neo Quantum Processor in its 2022 4K and 8K QLED TVs to include new features such enhanced contrast mapping with BLU, which enhances the brightness level from 12 to 14-bit gradation. This enables the TV to regulate its illumination in 16,384 steps rather than the 4,096 steps of earlier versions.
