Win the Weekend and Score Deals on Select TVs through Oct. 29th

Samsung Electronics America is today kicking off “Tackling Sundays,” a new campaign designed to help people do more while enjoying their favorite sports on Sundays – and every day in between – with Samsung TVs and connected products. Through Oct. 29, shoppers can unlock weekend flash deals[1] on fan-favorite screens – including ultra-large Samsung 98” class TVs, along with your choice of Samsung OLED and Samsung Neo QLED TVs – with a featured deal each week on Samsung.com and at participating retailers.

“While tens of millions of Americans tune into their favorite sports games each week, a huge percentage also report multitasking because they’re distracted with chores and other activities. The Samsung team of connected screens, appliances and mobile devices can help make sure you never need to take your eyes off the ball,” said James Fishler, Senior Vice President, Home Entertainment & Display Division, Samsung Electronics America. “Your Samsung screen not only delivers incredible picture quality, but also serves as the connected hub to your home. Using your Samsung TV, you can do everything from set up SmartThings laundry notifications[2] so you don’t forget the wash is done, check inside your Family Hub fridge for your favorite game day snacks, or even mirror your Samsung Galaxy phone to video call a friend and watch together in Multi View– all without missing a big touchdown.”

The first deal kicks off this week: on Sunday, Sept. 24, you can score $1,000 off the Samsung 98” Class QLED 4K TV (model Q80C), plus free delivery & in-home installation. The ultra-large screen brings every pass, throw, and interception to life in a big way – delivering rich detail, and super-precise arrays of color and contrast.

Collaboration between iconic art institution and #1 global TV brand brings iconic works of art from The Met collection into The Frame users’ homes

The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met) is collaborating with Samsung Electronics to bring some of the Museum’s most treasured works of art to millions of Samsung Smart TV screens as digital art. The Samsung Art Store¹—which enables users of The Frame to continuously transform any space by displaying more than 2,300 pieces of digital art, including works from the most renowned artists, museums, and industry tastemakers—is today unveiling a selection of iconic artworks in collaboration with The Met.

Samsung Art Store users can choose from 38 pieces across a wide range of The Met’s storied curatorial departments, including the American Wing, Asian Art, Egyptian Art, European Paintings, Islamic Art, and more. The selected works were chosen by Samsung Art Store Curator Daria Greene. The offering features high resolution digital reproductions of renowned artworks across a variety of cultures and time periods. Select works are currently on view at The Met in New York City.

Samsung Art Store users can display beloved works of art in their homes, including: Edgar Degas’ The Rehearsal of the Ballet Onstage (ca. 1874); Vincent Van Gogh’s Sunflowers (1887); Paul Cézanne’s Still Life with Apples and Pot of Primroses (ca. 1890); and Georges Seurat’s Circus Sideshow (Parade du Cirque) (1887–88). The Frame owners can also display ancient artifacts such as an Egyptian wedjat eye amulet (ca. 1070–664 B.C.), and medieval treasures including The Unicorn Rests in a Garden (1495–1505), the famed French and South Netherlandish textile from the Unicorn Tapestries. Celebrated Japanese artworks such as Katsushika Hokusai’s Under the Mannen Bridge at Fukagawa (ca. 1830–32) as well as Utagawa Kuniyoshi’s Concise Illustrated Biography of Monk Nichiren: Calming the Stormy Sea at Tsunoda in Exile to Sado Island (1835–36) can also be displayed on The Frame. The collection also features several historically significant American artworks like Emanuel Leutze’s Washington Crossing the Delaware (1851).

“Since its founding in 1870, The Met has been dedicated to bringing art and culture to the daily lives of visitors and art enthusiasts around the world,” said Josh Romm, Head of Global Licensing and Partnerships at The Met. “Our collaboration with Samsung activates this mission in a new and modern way, allowing consumers to enjoy iconic works from The Met collection at home. As users explore the selection and choose works to display, this program will create a new dialogue about art, creativity, and technology.”

The Met’s objective to reveal new ideas and unexpected connections across time and cultures through its collections is a fitting collaboration with the Samsung Art Store, one of the largest digital platforms of its kind. Showcasing art from museums and galleries around the world to The Frame users across 42 countries, the Samsung Art Store explores centuries of art, from old masters including Botticelli, Leonardo, Goya, and Van Gogh to contemporary artists such as Shinique Smith and many more through diverse monthly programming.

“The Samsung Art Store is honored to partner with The Metropolitan Museum of Art to bring world renowned artworks into millions of homes worldwide,” said Sang Kim, EVP and General Manager of the North America Service Business, Samsung Electronics. “At Samsung, we’re constantly working to redefine the entertainment experience through technological innovation, and we’re delighted to partner with such an iconic institution to enable users for the first time to enjoy The Met’s culturally significant works of art via a modern digital canvas from the comfort of their homes.”

The Samsung Art Store is available exclusively on The Frame by Samsung—a 4K Smart TV with a billion shades of color and a picture frame bezel that delivers vivid, lifelike TV when it’s on and art when it’s off. Its Matte Display drastically reduces light reflections for a canvas-like finish—perfect for showcasing digital collections from the Samsung Art Store along with personal photography and artwork. Users can choose from a collection of picture frame-like TV bezels to customize their space and can upgrade the included slim-fit wall mount to the new auto-rotating wall mount² to display content vertically or horizontally, so all stunning artworks can be viewed exactly as the artist intended.

About the Met

The Metropolitan Museum of Art was founded in 1870 by a group of American citizens—businessmen and financiers as well as leading artists and thinkers of the day—who wanted to create a museum to bring art and art education to the American people. Today, The Met displays tens of thousands of objects covering 5,000 years of art from around the world for everyone to experience and enjoy. The Museum lives in two iconic sites in New York City—The Met Fifth Avenue and The Met Cloisters. Millions of people also take part in The Met experience online. Since its founding, The Met has always aspired to be more than a treasury of rare and beautiful objects. Every day, art comes alive in the Museum’s galleries and through its exhibitions and events, revealing both new ideas and unexpected connections across time and across cultures.

1 A single user subscription for Art Store costs $4.99/month or $49.90/year.
2 The auto-rotating wall mount is sold separately and is compatible with the 2022-2023 models of The Frame in 43”, 50”, 55”, and 65” class screen sizes.

Samsung extends LE Audio capabilities including more immersive audio recording on smartphones, clearer sound experiences on PCs, and now sharing sound on TVs with more people

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced new software updates to Galaxy Buds2 Pro and Samsung Smart TVs[1], reshaping the audio experiences across even more connected devices. The new updates extend LE Audio capabilities to Samsung TVs with Auracast broadcast audio technology, enabling rich and complex audio transmission to nearby Bluetooth devices.

LE Audio, an advanced Bluetooth audio standard, broadens the spectrum of audio experiences to deliver more complex and richer sound that goes beyond providing better-sounding music, but also allows users to share sound with others as they personally experience it. As a pioneer of innovative technologies, Samsung has been leveraging new LE Audio-based features that further elevate sound experiences, including 360 Audio Recording, enabling Galaxy smartphone users to capture sound on video precisely as they hear it without the need for professional equipment. Additionally, the select Galaxy Book3 devices[2] offer a crystal clear listening experience with improved latency — perfect for immersive gaming and multimedia consumption.

And now, with Auracast broadcast audio technology for Galaxy Buds2 Pro and Samsung 2023 Neo QLED 8K and 2023 MICRO LED, rolling out via software updates starting this September[3], Samsung is again improving and expanding connected experiences beyond mobile devices to home appliances. With Auracast, users can turn their device into a shared radio station able to broadcast across connected devices. Leveraging the new LE Audio, it allows users to connect multiple sets of Buds to a TV[4] while users could only connect a maximum of two devices previously. Auracast opens a variety of potential use cases and possibilities for further device applications — from augmented or assistive listening in a theater or lecture hall for those who want hear better, to sharing a playlist from your smartphone while on a run with friends, and even multi-language support without translation devices by sending different language interpretations via different channels.

“As an innovator across a wide range of electronic devices — from smartphones to wearables, and from TVs to home appliances — we at Samsung are in a unique position to capitalize on delivering more seamless and extended experiences,” said Junho Park, VP and Head of Galaxy Ecosystem Product Planning Team, MX Business at Samsung Electronics. “LE Audio is a perfect example that shows our commitment to connected experiences across our entire library of devices, and how Samsung is introducing new capabilities and technologies that bring them all together.”

The new Auracast feature is just one example of how Samsung is connecting devices and services and offering novel experiences to users. Stay tuned for more exciting announcements of Samsung’s connected experiences to be shared at this year’s IFA event, held this September 1-5 in Berlin.

[1] Available on 2023 Neo QLED 8K and 2023 MICRO LED launched in 2023.

[2] Supported on Galaxy Book3 Ultra, Book3 Pro, Book3 Pro 360 and Book3 360.
