Chae added, “In fact, our customer survey showed that 75% of consumers bought, on average, a TV 13 inches bigger than their previously purchased TV model.”


The new Samsung 98-inch TV supports varied options for connectivity permitting the user to easily gain access to their favorite content from various sources without a hassle.

Samsung says the TV’s energy-efficient technologies ensures minimal power use without compromising on performance aligning with its pledge to cut its environmental footprint.
