THE SERIF BY SAMSUNG

CAN A TV become a conversation starter, an objet d’art that can rub shoulders with prized curios in your living room? The Serif from Samsung, is just that kind of TV and builds on the brand’s legacy of crafting TVs that can blend in without striking a discordant note. This new design idea elevates a TV to a piece of home décor. The Serif is the result of a collaboration between Samsung and the acclaimed Parisian design duo Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec. One moment it’s a piece of art with its own stand, the next moment it’s a brilliant display equipped with Quantum Dot Technology.

The Serif with its unique unibody design in the shape of an ‘I’, isn’t just a ‘form over function’ story, it’s packed with clever tech innovations too. The Active Voice Amplifier function that automatically adjusts volume and clarity in real time is one of the many handy touches. It’s also one of the only premium TVs that comes with in-built NFC (Near Field Communication) for seamless entertainment. And then there’s our favourite feature — AI upscaling technology that upscales everything to 4K picture content.
