Samsung launches 85‚” UHD TV

Samsung will be launching its new 85‚” Ultra High Definition (UHD) Smart television, offering four times the resolution of Full HD, at the end of June 2013.

The screen is floating in a frame, providing a minimalist design from every angle, and featuring built-in speakers that offer concert-quality surround sound.

‚”UHD delivers clear picture details to make TV viewership as immersive as possible. The difference in quality in fact, is something very few have been able to witness on a television and is definitely something consumers need to see for themselves,‚” says Lance Berger, Head of Product Marketing TV/AV at Samsung Electronics South Africa.

In line with the launch of television, Samsung will be conducting a nationwide roadshow to give consumers the chance to view the image quality of the 85‚” Ultra High Definition (UHD) TV, at selected shopping malls nationwide.

Currently retailing at R 385,000, a special introductory offer is available for 85 days ending on 24 July 2013 and includes several value-added benefits such as: a five-year exclusive warranty, free delivery and four years worth of hardware and software upgrades with the Samsung Smart Evolution Kit. Furthermore, all sales of this TV will include a pre-installation inspection at the consumer’s residence where the Samsung service team will go through a detailed checklist with the consumer to ensure that the installation and delivery process runs smoothly.

Consumers can check out the TV at the following malls across South Africa:
