Samsung TVs are the first to get these accuracy certifications

Samsung has announced that six TV models from the company’s 2024 Neo QLED 8K and 4K and one TV model from the 2024 QLED 4K series have received HDR Brightness Accuracy and True Cinema Black certifications from Germany’s Verband Deutscher Elektrotechniker (VDE). These Samsung TVs are also the first devices to get the two certifications.

What are VDE's HDR Brightness Accuracy and True Cinema Black certifications?

According to Samsung, VDE’s HDR Brightness Accuracy certification assures that “these models accurately reproduce the brightness levels of HDR content, staying true to HDR standards and delivering picture quality that closely matches what the human eye perceives.”

On the other hand, the True Cinema Black certification ensures that the screen’s letterbox area (the black bars at the top and the bottom of the display) remains deep black and does not suffer from blooming when watching content in the 4:3 format. It shows that Samsung TVs have exceptional local dimming performance.
