Unlike other 8K TVs, Samsung Q950TS comes with a Quantum 8K processor that boasts amazing upscaling capabilities with the help of AI.

Basically, this new AI technology detects the attributes of the pixels and further restore different elements of the image in order to perform intelligent upscaling.
ScaleNet Technology
Don’t get confused with AI ScaleNet and AI upscaling. Unlike scaling, the main purpose of AI ScaleNet technology is to provide an uninterrupted viewing experience to the user. Sometimes, the internet connection is too slow to stream 8K content, this is where AI ScaleNet technology comes into play. It automatically compresses the content before reaching the TV and restores it afterwards. As a benefit, the bandwidth decreases significantly resulting in smooth content streaming. And yes, Samsung Q950TS comes with support for the AI ScaleNet technology.

Object Tracking Sound+
This is where Samsung takes the immersive experience to a whole new level. By using AI, Object Tracking Sound+ pans the audio according to the movement of the objects in the scene.
