Samsung, talkSPORT collaboration
December 1, 2022
Samsung has launched an exclusive Neo QLED viewing pod at its Samsung KX experience space in King’s Cross, London.
Running until December 18th, the unique pod will offer football fans the opportunity to watch the beautiful game in stunning picture quality on Samsung’s QN800B TV. Developed in collaboration with leading sports radio station talkSPORT, visitors will be able to experience first-hand the stunning new era of Neo QLED.
As part of the collaboration, Samsung is sponsoring talkSPORT’s World Cup GameDay podcast which gives updates from their reporters on the ground in Qatar. Along with this, talkSPORT will be recording some of the World Cup GameDay episodes from the Neo QLED pod.
Equipped with ultra-sharp lights, extreme contrast and true-to-life colour, Samsung’s Neo QLED TV range allows supporters to enjoy spectacular details whilst watching their favourite team.
The Neo QLED range is powered by Quantum Dot and also boasts game-changing Quantum Matrix Technology. Quantum Dots offer naturally bright and colourful picture quality whilst Quantum Matrix technology provides more detailed and better contrast for viewers, along with higher peak brightness and deeper blacks. Working in tandem with a powerful AI-powered processor, Samsung’s Neo QLED 8K TVs can upscale to 8K, improving the picture and sound quality for what you’re watching and where you’re watching the action.
In addition to this, the pod features the HW-Q990B soundbar giving fans a unique opportunity to experience and take their audiovisual experience to a whole new level of immersion. With the exclusive Q-Symphony feature, the soundbar delivers amazing surround sound of the stadium without a complicated set-up.
To celebrate the football this winter, Samsung will be running a social competition on Samsung’s UK Facebook page in which fans can win the chance to come down to Samsung KX in London and watch the semi-finals and final of the world’s biggest football tournament in the pod with their friends. Free food & drink will be provided on behalf of Samsung during the games and winners will also receive £300 worth of restaurant vouchers to enjoy before or after the fixture.
Zeena Hill, Marketing Director, TV/AV, Samsung Electronics UK&I, said: “Through our collaboration with talkSPORT, one of the leading media outlets for sport in the UK, we hope to attract new and existing consumers to enjoy the benefits of our Neo QLED viewing experience and the award-winning Quantum Dot technology featured inside it.”
Daniel Dawson, Head of the talkSPORT Fan Network, said: “It’s been a privilege and a pleasure to work with Samsung on this project. Together we are creating a new-level experience for football fans who want the very best experience across all the action.”
