In such an impressive space, it’s critical that any display technology makes a real impact, while simultaneously and naturally blending into the home. In this case, the homeowner knew exactly what he wanted – a display that reflected his style, taste and a number of key specifications. In terms of size, the customer was searching for a slightly larger display than what was currently available on the market, at a minimum of 100”, ultimately deciding on a 110”, modular screen setup. Several other factors were taken into account to ensure the display delivered the optimal experience for viewers and visitors to his home. For one, the room was so massive that the display would be viewed from up to 20 metres away. Additionally, a room of this size with many windows receives significant ambient lighting, which had to be equally considered, to both guarantee the right solution and meet the customer’s high expectations.

In partnership with Arc Automation, Security & Electrical, Samsung installed the IF012J 110” LED screen in the main entertainment area of the property – providing brilliant picture quality optimised for a diverse range of ambient lighting conditions. The picture quality and high contrast ratio were two of the most important details for this customer – to ensure anyone who laid eyes on the screen would be in awe of the image, rather than focusing on and counting the pixels. The project manager of Arc, as the owner of the home renovation assignment, travelled to the United States to view the product as it wasn’t currently available in New Zealand. This gave him the opportunity to compare products from several manufacturers side-by-side, assessing how each is assembled, how each performs and how each finished product would fit into the overall design of the home. The display’s picture quality was supported by High Dynamic Range (HDR) picture refinement, which added further clarity and sophistication, perfectly suited to the opulent design of his home. The complementary dynamic peaking capability of the display also elevated peak brightness, creating high-impact images that would truly pop from any distance.

The IF Series offers easy installation, with its compact design ensuring a flexible, seamless implementation in any environment. Traditionally, to maintain an LED cabinet, engineers need to access the device from the backside. However, the full-front service capability of the IF Series gives access to critical components and ensures a tidy activation free of catwalk space, meaning more convenient and efficient maintenance. This was a key consideration for Arc as the installation partner, with ease of use being an important factor in the final decision. In addition, reliability was a key factor for the customer as he wanted to be sure that once installed, the display would maintain optimal performance for years to come. The IF Series includes advanced temperature and ventilation management settings and a fan-less design to ensure uninterrupted content delivery in a variety of conditions, resulting in minimal failures and a satisfied customer.
