| Samsung's new Ultra HD TVs are four times sharper than the current HD sets |
Electronics maker Samsung has
revealed that its 55 and 65-inch “Ultra HD” televisions will be available to
buy in the UK in July.
Retailing at £4,000 and £6,000
respectively, the so-called Samsung F9000 TVs offer four times the resolution
of current full HD TVs for brighter, clearer images and a more immersive
viewing experience.
The TVs come with Samsung’s built-in
recommendation engine, which lets viewers search content and get
recommendations based on their previous viewings, and voice interaction
technology so that viewers can control their TV using everyday language.
They run on quad-core processors and
are also equipped with 70W speaker output, which when combined with
high-definition audio technology from DTS provides a surround sound experience.
Ultra HD – also known as 4K because
it has nearly 4,000 horizontal pixels – has been touted “the next big thing” in
consumer electronics. With a resolution of 3840 x 2160, Ultra HD TVs are
exactly four times sharper than the full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080.

and other electronics manufacturers including Sony, LG and Toshiba have all
launched Ultra HD TVs, several with giant screens. Back in April, Samsung
