Samsung Neo QLED and other TVs will get Generative 4K Wallpapers feature in Ambient mode

Samsung has announced the launch of a new 4K generative background feature for its 2024 Neo QLED TVs and other models. This feature is based on Tizen OS and uses artificial intelligence (AI) to generate high-quality graphics based on the selected theme. The South Korean tech giant claims that it opens up more opportunities to personalize the user’s viewing experience. It will soon be rolled out on select models in certain regions, while global rollout will take place next year.

Generative 4K wallpaper on Samsung QLED TVs

In a blog post, Samsung highlighted that its new feature for Neo QLED and other TV models uses AI to create custom wallpapers that complement the user’s home. It will be available in Ambient mode on Samsung TVs running Tizen OS. The company says users can enable the inclusion of additional information in the wallpaper, such as weather updates, news, and time.

To access this, users can navigate to the Ambient Mode menu and select from themes such as “Happy Holidays” or “Party.” The feature generates a custom 4K wallpaper based on input.

Announcing the feature, Cheolgi Kim, Executive Vice President of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics, said: “Generative Wallpaper brings a new dimension of personalization to our customers’ screens, allowing them to customize their TVs to truly reflect their style .” ”

Generative Wallpaper will be available in South Korea, North America and Europe starting this month. It will launch in other regions worldwide next year.

A user interface on Samsung TVs

At the Samsung Developer Conference 2024, held in San Jose earlier this month, the company announced plans to launch One UI on Samsung TVs. Although the formalization of this move was confirmed to take place next year, the rollout has reportedly already begun for select devices, including the S90C OLED TV.

One UI brings a new user interface (UI), adds features to the Game Bar and offers other improvements such as multiple controls, support for video and audio calls, and expanded compatibility with the Internet of Things (IoT).
