Samsung SUHD range of 4K TVs deliver never-before depth of contrast
With 3840 x 2160 pixels, 4K TVs can definitely show much greater detail than ever before, but key to the ideal 4K resolution is to address the all-important issues of contrast ratio. And that’s where HDR technology steps in. HDR an acronym for ‘High Dynamic Range’ is really all about the expression of images and is a result of the depth of contrast between light and dark colors that a TV can produce.
Producing images at up to 1000 nits brightness, Samsung’s HDR 1000 feature harnesses the available brightening and dimming technology’s power to make blacks look really dark and whites vibrantly bright. At the same time, not all 4K TVs in the market can process HDR videos.

Organizations that create their own content are adopting the technology necessary to create and distribute content that is compatible with 4K HDR TVs. At the current rate, it looks certain that HDR is something that the industry will be increasingly embracing. Even for older films and TV series that may not be 4K or HDR ready, Samsung SUHD TV will upscale content to the extent possible in order to maximize image quality.
The newly introduced HDR+ Mode (available as an automatic update) will improve your picture quality even further by adjusting the color and brightness range, ensuring that your standard dynamic range (SDR) content will look like HDR content. In fact, it not only enhances SDR, the new HDR+ algorithm also enhances standard HDR content increasing the level of contrast ratio to differentiate objects from the background, while still depicting more image details on the screen for an overall better picture. With HDR native contents, HDR+ also uncovers previously hidden images from darker content scenes, supplementing the level of brightness to express objects hidden in darker shadows.
Features designed specifically for picture quality experts have also been enhanced with HDR+. In “Expert Mode,” picture quality experts can customize HDR effects to suit individual users by calibrating brightness, contrast ratio and gradation to the finest degree.
SUHD TVs also employ a technology called Ultra Black that channels light in a manner that reduces glare on the display surface. So even when you’re watching TV in a room drenched in sunlight, you can still savor every tiny detail because you won’t be distracted by the reflection of your surroundings on the screen.
