Samsung 8K TVs have some hidden audio treats tucked inside SAMSUNG'S latest 8K TVs might have some of the best screens in the business, but that's not where the innovation ends. There is also some impressive audio treats tucked inside, Samsung says. Here's how the Korean firm has managed to make their new televisions sound so good.
Samsung launched a number of pin-sharp 8K Smart TVs earlier this year, which promise a viewing experience far superior to standard 4K televisions. 8K offers four times the resolution, which means you get more pixels for your money and therefore a much clearer image. The latest goggle boxes even some clever upscaling which makes 4K footage appear as if shot in 8K.
Panasonic's unique-sounding 4K TV could have rivals worriedAlthough the picture quality is clearly important, Samsung is also making big noises about the audio packed into these TVs with the Korean manufacturer revealing just why it thinks the sound it creates is so good.
There's a number of neat audio tricks included on the latest range but the most impressive has to be Samsung’s Object Tracking Sound. This technology basically allows the TV to move the audio around the screen giving users a much more immersive experience.
As Samsung explains, say you are enjoying an action movie with a dynamic car chase. As the car moves from left to right and top to bottom on-screen, with a 2020 QLED 8K TV so will the audio. To achieve this experience, Samsung has optimised the speaker placement on its new 8K range.
Unlike conventional TVs, which often feature two speakers, the QLED 8K has six speakers positioned all around the display.

There's even two speakers on the left- and right-hand side of the back of the device for a room-filling surround sound experience.
On TVs with a conventional design, which normally feature speakers only on the bottom, the current trend for increased screen sizes can lead to more audio blind spots between the points of sound emission.
For example, if a helicopter is flying on the upper left-hand side of the screen, the sound would still be being emitted from the bottom of the screen, resulting in a dissonance between the content’s visuals and its audio. Object Tracking Sound isn't the only technology aimed at boosted these new TVs.
Samsung is also featuring another extra called Active Voice Amplifier (AVA).
A remarkable invocation in cinematic viewing of TV. Can we expect this in our Mobiles.
