Competition intensifies in full-HD 3D innovation
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 12 - 06 - 2010

As competition in technological innovation heats up among television manufacturers in time for the World Cup that opened in South Africa on Friday, Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. unveiled in Saudi Arabia its flagship full-HD 3D LED TV which won the coveted 2010 CES Best of Innovations award given by the world's largest consumer technology tradeshow in US.
Having a thickness of only 7.98cm (0.3”), Samsung's 9000 Series is simply “outstanding and awesome”, industry analysts said.
Launched in the Kingdom last Monday through its distributor United Matbouli Group, “the world's sleekest, premium” full-HD 3D LED TV - the 55” 9000 Series “is the ultimate marriage between high artistic design and high technology, providing a high-class entertainment experience, made possible by Samsung's award-winning technology.”
Gyechoon Cho, managing director, Jeddah Office, Middle East & Africa headquarters, Samsung, said “the 3D LED HDTV 9000 series is the ultimate symbol of classic living that offers top-of-the-line performance, stunning beauty and elegance, and meets every sense of emotional satisfaction so you can lead a visually inspired life.”
The 9000 Series LED TV features an eye-catching, ultra-sleek, stainless steel bezel and backside. The effect maximizes the slim line of the TV, which is kept thin with a built-in tuner, speakers embedded in the stand, translucent neck and an auto-sliding touchpad.
The 9000 series also comes equipped with four HDMI ports, including a USB port to play various multi-media files directly from the flash drive or USB HDD.With a retail tag of SR30,000, the high-end model is aimed at the moneyed class, he added.
As 3D became the buzzword in the consumer electronics word, the 9000 Series was designed to end all depth competitions, and raise the bar yet again with an innovative stand that includes the built-in tuner.
Commenting on the launch, Eng. Adnan Matbouli, CEO, United Matbouli Group, said Samsung, which remains the global leader in consumer electronic goods, will “always deliver in advance” products that serve the best interest and satisfaction of consumers.
Based on an industry research study, Samsung is ranked number one, with the biggest market share in products like monitor, LCD panel, DRAM, among others, except in mobile handsets which is held by Nokia.
According to IDC, a market research firm, Samsung Electronics posted a record-high market share of 17.9 percent, in terms of sales revenue, in the overall monitor market last year. It has held that No. 1 position for three consecutive years, or 12 consecutive quarters, since the first quarter of 2007.
Moreover, Cho said the 3D revolution opens the doors for other ancillary products like 3D contents and films in 3D format.
Samsung also continues to be the leader in providing quality, top-of-the-line performance with its built-in 3D, WiFi connectivity, DLNA-compatible media streamer, Samsung Apps, InternetTV and Energy 4.0 stamp.
On top of all these functionalities, Samsung sees to it that energy efficiency is not compromised. Samsung LED TVs meet even higher standards of sustainability. The 9000 Series exceeds EnergyStar 4.0 and are the most eco-conscious HDTV products Samsung has ever released.
Samsung also launched its new 2010 series of LCD & Plasma televisions with full HD 3D with price starting from SR8,000.
Samsung and Matbouli will hold roadshows across the Kingdom to educate, train and familiarize customers on the proper use and operation of Samsung's award
