Samsung has announced that all of its 2016 UHD TVs now support HDR playback in 4K and they all get a new expanded YouTube App.
You can see this new HDR content on YouTube by visiting the HDR category on the YouTube 4K Channel from your Samsung TV.
Samsung Electronics today announced that it will support YouTube’s global HDR playback on television for the first time, through an expanded version of the YouTube application. The YouTube Application is available on all 2016 Samsung Quantum dot TVs and UHD TVs and will launch progressively throughout the world from December.
“With the global availability of YouTube’s HDR, we at Samsung are thrilled to support the best HDR viewing experience and a wide range of HDR content for users to enjoy,” said Seline Han, Vice President of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “We are confident that our TVs will bring to life an immersive HDR viewing experience — all from the comfort of our users’ homes.”
Enhanced Viewing Experience with HDR
High Dynamic Range (HDR) technology significantly enhances the viewing experience by offering better contrast, more vibrant colors, and improved brightness levels. This means that when you watch HDR content on your Samsung 2016 UHD TV, you will notice a more lifelike and immersive picture quality. HDR allows for a greater range of luminance, making the darkest parts of the image darker and the brightest parts brighter. This results in a more dynamic and realistic viewing experience.
Samsung’s support for HDR on YouTube means that users can now access a wide variety of HDR content directly from the YouTube app on their TV. This includes everything from nature documentaries and travel vlogs to movie trailers and music videos. The expanded YouTube app makes it easier than ever to find and enjoy HDR content, bringing a cinema-like experience into your living room.
Global Rollout and Availability
The rollout of the expanded YouTube app with HDR support is a significant milestone for Samsung and its users. The app is available on all 2016 Samsung Quantum dot TVs and UHD TVs and will be launched progressively across different regions. This global availability ensures that users from various parts of the world can enjoy the enhanced viewing experience that HDR offers.
Samsung’s commitment to providing the best possible viewing experience is evident in this update. By supporting YouTube’s HDR content, Samsung is ensuring that its users have access to the latest and greatest in video technology. This move also positions Samsung as a leader in the TV industry, continually pushing the boundaries of what is possible with home entertainment.
