- Lifestyle TVs receive โGlare-Freeโ verification from UL, โEye Careโ certification from VDE in Germany
- Twenty new QLED models named worldโs-first โPantone Validatedโ screens
SEOUL, Korea โ January 13, 2022 โ Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced that its 2022 QLED and Lifestyle TVs have been recognized by leading global certification institutes for eye safety and color technology. The news comes as the company announced its newest QLED and Lifestyle TVs at CES 2022.
The 2022 Samsung Lifestyle TVs won the โEye Careโ Certification from Verband Deutscher Elektrotechniker (VDE) in Germany, one of Europeโs largest technical-scientific associations with more than 36,000 members. The certification applies to Samsungโs 2022 Lifestyle TV models including The Frame, The Serif and The Sero. The screens are evaluated on various categories, including โSafetyโ, โGentle to the eyesโ, flicker level, uniformity, and color fidelity.
The new Lifestyle TVs were assessed for safety from blue light emission and melatonin inhibition levels based on a light hazard classification method set by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). Samsungโs 2022 Lifestyle TVs satisfy the IEC’s standards for screen flickering, which can cause eye fatigue or headache for viewers. They were also recognized for excellence in color fidelity and picture quality uniformity, both elements of which contribute to eye comfort level while watching TV.
Samsungโs 2022 Lifestyle TVs[1] were also verified as โGlare-Freeโ by Underwriters Laboratories (UL), a leading independent safety science company. UL’s verification validates the โGlare-Freeโ claim by assessing the products against Unified Glare Rating (UGR) testing standard set by the International Commission on Illumination (CIE). Samsung’s new Lifestyle TV models use a new Matte Display with anti-glare, anti-reflection and anti-fingerprint properties to deliver the optimal brightness and provide the best picture quality without glare.
- Reflected Glare, which determines whether the objects on a TV screen are visible even when external light is reflected on the surface
- Discomfort Glare, which determines whether a TV screen is too bright
- Disability Glare, which determines whether a TV screen is overly bright when watching TV in a dark room
These glare assessments were calculated based on test results of watching TV in both 300 lux, which is equivalent to a brightly lit work area, and in 150 lux, which is usually the value for a dimly lit work area.
Additionally, Samsung’s all new 2022 QLED models received the world’s first โPantone Validatedโ certification from Pantone, the world-famous brand in the global color industry and creator of the Pantone Matching System (PMS).
These models receiving this recognition from Pantone include all 20 newly released models – 15 QLED TVs in both 4K and 8K and five monitors. Samsungโs 2022 QLED TV line-up was recognized for its accurate expression of 2,030 Pantone colors and newly added 110 skin tone shades.
“As TVs become more of an entertainment hub in the home, thereโs an increased demand for screens with top-tier picture quality that minimize eye strain,” said Seokwoo Yong, Executive Vice President and Head of R&D Team, Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “This recognition from leading global institutes validates our technology that delivers best-in-class images along with the most comfortable watching experience.”
