[News] Samsung New Zealand announces a huge new family member

Samsung Electronics New Zealand tonight announced the launch of its next-generation ultra-large, UHD TV: the 85 inch Samsung S9! The television, bigger on the diagonal than a 7 foot basketball player is tall and impressive in its size. The S9 also breaks new ground in technology and innovation.

Samsung New Zealand John Barrell, CE Sales Director says modern viewers want TVs with larger screen sizes, better picture quality and more features.

“There are a lot of consumers who want not only the biggest but also the best in terms of benefits and features – and that includes picture and audio quality, content partnerships and internet connectivity.”

“Our new 85 inch Series 9 UHD meets all these requirements and comes complete in a beautifully designed frame,” says Barrell.

But at a steep pricepoint, a very steep price!

Samsung’s Precision Black Pro technology delivers deep, real blacks and pure vivacious whites while the combination of an extremely high contrast ratio and Ultimate Dimming control functionality means viewers will experience the sharpest resolutions ever seen on Samsung large format displays.

In addition, Samsung’s exclusive ‘up-scaling engine’ converts HD or Full-HD to UHD-level picture quality by restoring detail information which delivers greater precision and life-like picture quality.

The S9 also provides impeccable audio quality, thanks to its 3-way, 2.2 channels of 120 watt sound, which delivers an audio experience consumers can truly immerse themselves in.

The huge 85 inch UHD TV comes in a timeless design – the set appears to float within its thin frame – which challenges traditional concepts of TV design and features classic minimalism that will beautifully transform any modern living room.

Retail Program

Customers who purchase a UHD TV will receive a bespoke installation service; Samsung delivers the TV, installs it and sets it up. This process also includes full customisation of content offerings and direct contact with a Samsung professional within Samsung New Zealand.

Smart Evolution Kit 2013

To ensure consumers continue to enjoy the best experience from their Samsung TVs, Samsung has developed the Smart Evolution Kit (sold separately). This one-piece kit slots into the back of the TV and enables owners to update their TVs with the latest technologies and features removing the need to purchase a new set every time there’s an upgrade.

For S9 UHD customers this ensures their product stays up-to-date with future developments and standards of ultra-high definition broadcasting.

For those that wish to purchase one of these, the price is at $50,000 and so will not be on a lot of people’s “shopping lists.”
