Samsung’s UHD TVs not only support today’s standards - including HEVC, HDMI 2.0, MHL 3.0 and HDCP 2.2; they are the only TVs on the market that are future-ready, thanks to the Samsung UHD Evolution Kit. The One Connect Box essentially houses the brains of the TV externally, enabling customers to switch out the box. Moreover, the new Multi-Link feature brings contextual multitasking to the big screen, enabling users to split the screen to bring up related content. There is also the Multimedia panel for social networking and Game panel for hard-core gamers' ease and comfort.
