The Curved Screen What is so special about the KN55S9C? For the first time, the new technology offers a real infinite contrast ratio, which is definitely not the same as other manufacturers may have been claiming previously. With the OLED technology, each individual pixel has the ability to change from the darkest black to an extreme brightness, even brighter than an LED or LCD screen can offer, giving a realism and depth to the picture that simply does not exist on other TVs. |  |
 | The Samsung comes out of the box already mounted in something Samsung calls a Timeless Arena frame, which affords a place for the speakers and camera, keeping them well away from the screen itself. This does have a cost in terms of space requirements however, adding around six or seven inches to the overall width and increasing the depth to around 5.3 inches. Add the stand and the overall dimensions creep up to 58.8 inches wide x 30.6 inches tall and 14.3 inches deep. In addition to the framed screen and the stand, you will also find Samsung breakout box and a One Connect cable, the idea being that all your other devices connect to the breakout box and a single cable then connects to the TV. |
| The Breakout Box Offers a Variety of Input and Output Connections: Four HDMI inputs Two USB inputs An Ethernet connection Digital and optical audio IR outputs RS232 outputs Also in the box are two pairs of active shutter 3D glasses with built-in earbuds. These are the gateway to another Samsung innovation, Multi View. Basically this means that two people can watch entirely different programs full screen simultaneously. The glasses are synched to the TV and each program is shown alternately. And no, the technology does not affect resolution or fluidity of motion. The curved screen is intended to add to the ¿immersion¿ experience and overall depth, but it really does not add to the viewing quality; however it is the only option currently available. The conclusion? The Samsung KN55S9C curved OLED TV is just about as perfect as you can currently get, with incredible realism and depth to the picture. | |
