Summary

  • Samsung has unveiled at CES 2025 its Vision AI, which promises to revolutionise the way we interact with our TVs, but the writer is not convinced it’s time for an upgrade just yet.
  • While it might be argued that modern TVs already deliver stunning visuals,Vision AI’s AI Auto HDR remastering, AI Color Boosting Pro and AI upscaling are considered by some to be game-changers for picture quality.
  • However, competitors like LG and Sony have been refining their AI upscaling and colour-boosting technologies for years, and these changes will likely be marginal for the average viewer.
  • Samsung’s Vision AI also offers the new AI search button on the remote, but the writer argues that this is redundant as most people already use their smartphone for this purpose.
  • Furthermore, the integration of home security features using inbuilt cameras and microphones to detect unusual noises or movements and alert you via your phone or TV feels invasive and unnecessary, given most people already have dedicated smart home security systems.
  • Finally, live translation capabilities are cool but limited as translation technology is still far from perfect, and the audience for this is small.
