Samsung Electronics proudly announces that seven models from its 2024 Neo QLED and QLED lineup have received groundbreaking industry recognition. These models are the first-ever to earn both the True Cinema Black and HDR Brightness Accuracy certifications from the Verband Deutscher Elektrotechniker (VDE), a prestigious German certification institute specializing in electrical engineering.
“Technology continues to advance, enabling us to deliver an unmatched cinematic experience right in our customers’ homes,” said Yongjae Kim, Executive Vice President and Deputy Head of the R&D Team, Visual Display Business. “We are committed to setting the highest standards for picture quality in both high-resolution and big-screen TVs, and we are proud that our Neo QLED TVs have earned these industry-first certifications from VDE.”
Bringing Cinema-Quality Colors to Life
Six models from the Neo QLED 8K and 4K series, along with one QLED 4K model, received the world’s first HDR Brightness Accuracy certification. This recognition assures that these TVs deliver precise brightness levels for HDR content, staying true to the technology’s standards. As a result, the TVs offer lifelike visuals that mirror what the human eye naturally perceives.
By enhancing both bright and dark areas, Samsung’s HDR technology ensures that films come alive, whether you’re watching in a living room, bedroom, office, or even a kitchen. The combination of cutting-edge picture quality and versatility sets a new standard for home entertainment.
Elevating Home Entertainment with True Cinema Black
The 2024 Neo QLED and QLED models also set a new industry benchmark by being the first to receive the True Cinema Black certification. This recognizes the exceptional local dimming performance, which transforms wide aspect ratio films to fit a 4:3 screen format without compromising on quality. The technology eliminates light blooming, preserving the cinematic integrity of films.
Based on rigorous evaluations of black levels—especially in the “Letterbox” area—these models ensure deep, immersive visuals. The certification process adheres to the highest standards, using official footage from the American Society of Cinematographers (ASC), within the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA®) guidelines. The superior local dimming technology ensures viewers can enjoy films just as intended, with deep blacks and sharp details, akin to a theater experience.
With these certifications, Samsung’s 2024 Neo QLED TVs promise an exceptional viewing experience, offering world-class picture quality for any home setting.
