Samsung Electronics will upgrade its 4K TVs when broadcast standards have been set and is also partnering with Eutelsat in Europe to offer commercial broadcasts via satellite in the 3840 x 2560 pixel resolution.
Samsung is, along with other TV manufacturers, boasting about the progress it is making on the development of Ultra High-Definition, or 4K, TV sets.
At IFA, the company took a small step to address lack of content for the new TV sets, announcing the Eutelsat partnership. The companies will display a DVB-S2 Ultra HD signal transmitted by satellite and received directly on Samsung's TVs at IFA. But there is no date for when the signals will be available to consumers.
Another problem is that standards for broadcasting 4K content haven't been finalized, so it's important that TVs sold now can be upgraded. Samsung said its TVs can be upgraded and once standards have been agreed on, the company will make available an "UHD evolution kit" in the form of a new external connection box.
