Samsung Micro LED: the first consumer model soon?
A strong proponent of Micro LED, Samsung presented no fewer than four 4K displays using this technology at IFA 2022. This was mainly so the manufacturer could demonstrate its expertise in this field. The two 89″ models as well as the 101″ and 114″ models on the Korean giant’s stand were a success.
These demos were performed with several dozen Micro LED screens that were perfectly assembled, just like The Wall. It was impossible to see where the screens were connected: the image was perfectly uniform. Unfortunately, micro LED is still a very expensive technology reserved for businesses and very wealthy individuals…
We can’t wait for it to become more mainstream!
Samsung at IFA 2022: Neo QLED TVs at the forefront

Samsung Lifestyle: TV, soundbar and rotating stands
Initiator of the TV and electronics Lifestyle trend, Samsung presented many references with impressive designs at IFA. The Samsung The Serif range was present, as well as the Samsung The Frame collection: the TV that hangs on the wall like a painting.

Ideal to accompany the Samsung The Frame TVs, the ultra-thin Samsung HW-S801B soundbar was also an eye-catcher. This 330 watt 3.1.2 channel model is very discreet when mounted on the wall. This soundbar comes with a very compact wireless subwoofer. It supports Dolby Atmos and DTS:X tracks and connects easily to the TV via HDMI eARC or wirelessly (Q-Symphony 2 technology).
One more model to add to the list of thin soundbars that will fit under the TV.
