Samsung Neo QLED TVs features, specifications

Available in 8K and 4K models, the Samsung Neo QLED TVs’ picture quality is backed by Neural Quantum Processor, which supports the Quantum Mini LED-lit TV with 14-bit processing and AI upscaling. The Neo QLED TVs by the South Korean company come with a new Auto HDR Remastering algorithm, that uses AI deep learning technology to apply real-time High Dynamic Range (HDR) effects on Standard Dynamic Range (SDR) content on a scene-by-scene basis.
