Displays capable of 4K resolution and High Dynamic Range (HDR) are getting more common in homes, but remain relatively rare in theaters. Until now. Who other then Samsung is releasing a 34-foot HDR LED display that will blow cinema theaters offering a never-seen-before picture quality. Whether it is films or sporting events, Samsung promises that the new screen will deliver crystal clear pictures with vibrant colors thanks to High Dynamic Range LED display, a 4K (4,096 x 2,160) resolution,10 times greater peak brightness levels (146fL versus 14fL) and ultra-contrast and low tone grayscale settings that “enable the screen to showcase both brightest colors and the deepest blacks at a nearly infinity:1 contrast ratio”.
To complement the 4K, HDR visuals, the sound quality is apparently also getting an upgrade. Although there aren’t yet any details on just what that might include, Samsung’s Audio Lab is working with Harman’s Cinema Group to create what it calls an “innovative audio solution.”
The South Korean heavyweight debuted the new movie display in a series of demonstrations between March 27 and March 30 in theaters at The Orleans Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.
