Samsung has revealed that it will launch its own 55- and 65-inch UHD TVs – also known as 4K – in June of this year.
The company launched its first 4K TV at the CES show in Las Vegas earlier in the year, but it was an impractically sized – not to mention priced – 85-inch model costing upwards of £30,000.
At the time, Samsung promised to follow up by releasing smaller (and larger) UHD TV sets, and now it has – at least in its native South Korea.
Over on the the official Samsung Korea website Samsung has revealed its 55-inch and 65-inch UHD TV models. Both will feature the ‘Micro Dimming Ultimate’ LED lighting technology found in the 85-inch Samsung S9.
There’s no news on pricing for these new 55- and 65-inch 4K models, but you’d have to expect that
The 55-inch Sony Bravia X9 will cost £4,000, while the 65-inch version will cost £6,000. It seems Samsung will lose out on timing, but could it pip Sony on price?
