“In 2022, Samsung is introducing the world’s first TV screen-based NFT explorer and marketplace aggregator, a ground-breaking platform that lets you browse, purchase, and display your favourite art — all in one place.”
According to Samsung, this platform will give creators the leverage to share their art with the world, while giving potential buyers the opportunity to take one of the following measures: Preview an NFT before purchasing it, learn about an NFT’s history and blockchain metadata.
With the company’s decision to give support the NFT technology, Samsung will also be noting details as it relates to viewing NFTs on its 2022 televisions, with a smart calibration feature on the TV automatically adjusting display settings “to the creator’s pre-set values, so you can have peace of mind that your work looks impeccable, with true-to-the-original image quality.”
More details are expected to be made available on the NFT platform when the 2022 TVs begin to ship in the coming month. It is noteworthy that Samsung is the first major Television manufacturer to support NFTs to such a significant degree.
