Samsung: 65 inches is the perfect size for a TV today

While most of the tech world is focused on the ongoing Computex conference in Taiwan, Samsung is shaking things up back in the Philippines. The brand has unveiled new products and insights coming to the television and home entertainment industry. If you’re on the hunt for a new TV, check out Samsung’s latest AI and Micro LED TVs.

Presenting the Samsung Neo QLED 8K AI TV

The main attraction of the day was the new Neo QLED 8K AI TV. Though the display was already showcased previously during CES 2024, its innovations make it just as fresh for today’s consumers. The biggest draw is the 8K AI Upscaling Pro technology, which automatically improves image quality to the nearest 8K picture quality.

Further, the AI Motion Enhancer Pro makes movement much smoother on the display. Even fast-paced sports look fluid with the technology. Finally, the 2024 Q-Soundbar further amplifies the home theater capabilities of the headset.

Micro LED: The next evolution

Besides showing off its devices for regular consumers, Samsung also presented the future of displays: Micro LED. Touted as the best available display in the world today, Micro LED does a better job of reproducing colors and blacks. It was also a feat of brightness.

Unfortunately, the Micro LED set isn’t that accessible for regular consumers. While a 114-inch display is already available for purchase, Samsung is talking mostly with business clients for it. Price remains a barrier for most consumers today.

Which TV set is best for you?

In a more exclusive chat with Chris Almazan, Samsung Philippines head of audio and video, I asked for the best television size to maximize what you pay for. Instead of peddling the largest television with the most exorbitant price, Almazan says that the best size for regular consumers today is 65 inches.

Compared to prices years and years ago, new televisions have gotten more affordable, especially because of different financing options. Consumers don’t need to break their bank anymore. A premium 50-inch set today, for example, costs as much as a 30-inch flat screen more than a decade ago.

That said, though a 65-inch TV might cost a prettier penny, Almazan says that sets of that size will last at least eight to ten years. For a new television that costs as much as (or more than) a flagship smartphones, eight to ten years seems like more than a decent window.

Of course, an actual cycle before replacement might prove shorter in real life, especially because of rapidly advancing features. However, Almazan says that the hand-me-down market is still alive and well. Older sets find new life in other rooms of the house or with other users.

The message seems clear: It’s the perfect time to invest in a TV, and you don’t need the most expensive set to get the most bang out of your buck.
