Hoteliers who have shopped for smart hospitality televisions with Pro:Idiom in the last few years will likely have encountered the NE690, NF690, NJ690 or NT690. Samsung is now pivoting away from their longstanding 690s series and toward the AU800 series. A direct replacement to the 690s, the AU800 smart hospitality television series features UHD 4K, LYNK DRM (Digital Rights Management), Pro:Idiom, Tizen OS and a two-year factory warranty.

This quarter, Samsung is also releasing the RU710 series. This non-smart, Pro:Idiom hospitality TV series is ideal for hoteliers searching for a cost-effective, Pro:Idiom solution that will still stun guests with its vibrant 4K UHD display. The RU710 series comes standard with a ‘crow’s feet’ base, which means that the televisions are stationary. If your brand standards require a swivel base, you will likely want to use the RU710 in a wall-mounted application or consider Samsung’s NT678U.
If you’re on the hunt for the latest display technology, then keep reading for information about Samsung’s Q60 series.

For hoteliers hoping to futureproof their guestroom televisions by securing the most cutting-edge display technology, Samsung is introducing the first QLED Pro:Idiom television. The Q60 series comes equipped with Pro:Idiom and Samsung’s most extensive device and content management system – LYNK Cloud. (Read more about LYNK Cloud here).
But what is QLED? QLED – or quantum dot light-emitting diode – is Samsung’s latest display technology that uses a metallic quantum dot filter to enhance both colour and contrast to deliver an enhanced HDR and 4K picture. In short, it’s the best guestroom television technology Samsung has to offer.
As a final note for the Q60A series, we’ll mention that the Q60A has the unique capability of being used in a healthcare setting through the addition of a Healthcare TV Emulator Box.
