There's no denying the endurance of Samsung's The Body. The corporate struck gold in 2017 when it debuted the TV that blends in with your own home decor and reveals artwork items when not in use. As fashionable because the mannequin has grow to be, it wasn't nice for the entire different stuff you want a TV for — like watching reveals and flicks or gaming. After all, there have been numerous imitators over the past 5 years too, together with among the competitors right here at CES 2025.
Samsung is hoping to win over much more prospects with its newly introduced The Body Professional. This new mannequin has two vital upgrades that ought to make it a significantly better TV and never simply an alternative choice to the black rectangle that takes up house whenever you aren't utilizing it. First, and maybe most significantly, The Body Professional now has a Neo QLED show — the identical Mini LED tech that powers the corporate's high-end QN900 collection TVs.
The Verge reports that Samsung's use of Mini LEDs on The Body Professional doesn't work prefer it does on most TVs. Usually, there are dimming zones behind the show for exact management over which sections must be illuminated and which must be darker or black. Samsung didn't do this on this mannequin, relying as an alternative on a row of Mini LEDs alongside the underside of The Body Professional and promising a level of native dimming.
At CES, Samsung's demos have been centered on exhibiting off artwork on The Body Professional greater than any content material that might've confirmed if the strategy to Mini LEDs hampered efficiency. However, in a side-by-side with a nonetheless picture from a film, The Body Professional was brighter, with extra element and deeper blacks that the prevailing Body. You may also inform a distinction trying on the identical artwork on the 2 TVs beside one another. Particulars like texture and strokes pop off the matte display screen extra on The Body Professional, making the artwork TV even higher at its major operate. Plus, Samsung says its boosted the refresh fee to 144Hz to enhance the gaming expertise, and the 2024 Body additionally helps variable refresh charges for smoother gameplay. So, it stands to cause The Body Professional would as properly.
The second huge improve on The Body Professional is a brand new Wi-fi One Join Field that's just like what LG has been hyping for its M-series TVs for years now. Samsung's model is far smaller, trying extra like a sport console than a dice, and it depends on Wi-Fi (as much as Wi-Fi 7) to wirelessly transmit content material and audio from related streaming gear and sport consoles. The corporate says you possibly can place it in a cupboard with out interference and at distances as much as 10 meters away.
The Wi-fi One Join Field will exchange the bigger One Join Field that also required a single wire operating to The Body. This could provide extra versatility to the place prospects place the TV, because it doesn't should be bodily related to a field to obtain sign from HDMI inputs.
The Body Professional must be a giant improve to The Body given the Neo QLED panel, however we'll have to attend and see if that holds true in "common" TV use. And naturally, it is going to be costlier than the present Body that begins at $600 for the 32-inch measurement (remaining pricing remains to be TBD).
