- April 2021 - Samsung launched its ultra-premium Neo QLED TV range, which has a nearly bezel-less Infinity One Design and true-to-life picture quality for a cinematic viewing experience. The line-up will be available in 5 sizes: 85-inch (2m 16cm), 75-inch (1m 89cm), 65-inch (1m 63cm), 55-inch (1m 38cm), and 50-inch (1m 25cm). Neo QLED TVs come with Samsung's proprietary, powerful Neo Quantum Processor with enhanced upscaling capabilities.
