Samsung 2024 TVs earn VDE certification for picture quality

Samsung Electronics Co. said on Monday that seven of its 2024 TV models, including Neo QLED 8K and Neo QLED series, have received picture quality certifications from Germany's Verband Deutscher Elektrotechniker (VDE), a leading testing and certification institute.

The certifications include high dynamic range (HDR) Brightness Accuracy, which accurately represents the brightness levels of HDR content, and True Cinema Black, which recognizes superior local dimming technology for clear dark scenes similar to a cinema experience.

HDR technology provides a detailed depiction of both bright and dark areas in video content.

VDE evaluated that the certified products accurately express content brightness levels based on HDR signal standards.

Superior local dimming performance which minimizes light interference allows for precise representation of the letterbox mode commonly used when watching movies without light bleeding.
