[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heung-soon] Samsung Electronics announced on the 8th that its Neo Quantum Dot Light Emitting Diode (QLED) was the first in the industry to receive certification for the 'Spatially Optimized Sound' technology from the German certification body VDE.

Spatially Optimized Sound is a certification granted after evaluating whether the sound is measured at the same level when TV technology is applied in two different viewing environments. Samsung Neo QLED received three industry-first certifications from VDE this year, following 'Gaming TV Performance' and 'Eye Care.'

To reduce such sound deviations, Samsung Neo QLED is equipped with the 'SpaceFit Sound (Spatially Customized Sound)' feature, which creates sound similar to listening in a standard listening environment. This feature uses a microphone built into the TV to identify overall factors affecting sound, such as curtains, carpets, and walls, and adjusts the sound to fit each space.

For example, if the TV is in a living room with a carpet, and it is determined that the carpet absorbs mid-to-high frequency sounds, the system enhances mid-to-high frequency sounds based on the analyzed data. If the TV is installed close to a wall, the rear space is narrow, which can change low-frequency sounds; Samsung Electronics explained that it identifies such factors and optimizes the sound to produce clearer audio.

Additionally, SpaceFit Sound analyzes the environment based on the sound of the content actually used by the user, thereby providing sound optimized for the user's space.

Choi Yong-hoon, Vice President of Samsung Electronics' Visual Display Business Division, said, "Samsung Neo QLED delivers optimal sound tailored to each space without the need for separate professional equipment," adding, "We will continue to introduce various technologies so that consumers can enjoy the best viewing experience combining top-level picture quality and sound."
