Samsung has announced new Onyx 4K cinema displays with OLED-like picture quality
According to Samsung, the new Onyx cinema products are the world’s first DCI-certified LED-based cinema displays. Although they use LED technology, the company claims they offer image quality similar to OLED displays. This includes deep blacks, very high contrast, and high color accuracy. All models boast 4K resolution and HDR support for improved visuals.
The 120 Hz resolution will provide a smooth visual experience for situations where it is needed. For example, at concerts, gaming-related events, and live sports, among others. They also feature 300 nits of brightness, which is sufficient for this type of product.
Samsung’s latest Onyx cinema displays are compatible with Dolby and GDC media servers. They also facilitate the transition from a projector-based system. Support for Dolby Atmos, Meyer Sound, QSC, JBL, and other custom sound systems will ensure an immersive audio experience. Samsung also makes it easy to set up and calibrate the new displays. The company offers an automatic calibration tool for routine maintenance and the initial setup.
Lastly, the new displays are available in four sizes: 5 meters (16 feet, pixel pitch of 1.25mm), 10 meters (33 feet, pixel pitch of 2.5mm), 14 meters (46 feet, pixel pitch of 3.3mm), and 20 meters (66 feet, pixel pitch of 5.0mm). All natively support flat (2.39:1) and flat (1.85:1) aspect ratios. This helps increase their versatility and adaptability to different environments and content types.
