This year, Samsung is blending a curved TV design with its UHD LED TV technology. The adoption of curved TVs in 2014 will see Australians embrace a bold new cinematic experience for the home. Samsung has developed a curvature of 4200R5.

The new Series 9 Curved UHD LED TV features Samsung’s PurColor6 technology, which is designed to reproduce colour on the panel to express more detailed shades than available on all previous Samsung Smart TVs. With Samsung’s Auto Depth Enhancer algorithm, regions of images on the TVs are automatically adjusted to create a sense of depth on the new curved screens.

In addition to the Series 9 Curved UHD LED TV series (HU9000), the curved form factor is also expanded to the flagship Series 8 FHD LED TV (H8000). This second generation of Samsung curved screens can also be wall mounted with the specially designed kit (sold separately) and is compatible with VESA Standards.
