“Samsung’s portfolio of hospitality solutions demonstrates our

the first time. The HRQ750 Series demonstrates Samsung’s dedication to
constantly enhancing technology used by hotels to create a more premium,
luxury stay for guests.”

At HITEC, Samsung will unveil its latest displays optimized for the
hospitality industry: the HRQ750 and HRU750 Series. The HRQ750
hospitality television series leverages Quantum Dot Technology to
display true-to-life colors and rich images. Guests will easily view
even the finest details with Direct Full Array 4K for improved viewing.
With ambient mode, the HRQ750 Series will enhance any room, even when
the screen is turned off. When the display is not active, users can
select from décor, information or artwork settings to shift between
interactive and colorful backgrounds, a range of beautiful pieces and
details such as the time and date. The new HRQ750 is slated to launch
globally later this year.

The new HRU750 display features UHD upscaling technology HDR10+ picture
refinement, all in a slim, modern design. All Samsung HRU750 hospitality
displays also provide an intuitive customizable home application and
Samsung’s Smart Hub offers guests easy access to a variety of custom
content. Samsung SMART displays also allow users to control lighting,
drapes and temperature settings in guest rooms utilizing the HMS system.
In addition, Samsung’s HMS solution gives hotel operators insights into
occupancy and energy usage. The new HRU750 will launch globally later
this year.

Additional Samsung products and solutions displayed at the booth include:

Lobby Experience

Meeting Room Collaboration

The Samsung
Flip

both 55- and 65-inches. The Flip is designed to drive greater
collaboration and expand presentation capabilities, making it ideal for
all types of meetings, from training to group brainstorming. The UHD
display supports up to four simultaneous writers so teams can work
together with ease in any location. For a seamless room reservation
process, hoteliers and guests can leverage the AMX
AcendoBook Touchpanel
that integrates directly with platforms like
Office 365 and Google Calendar. Interface background color and built-in
room availability bars shift between red and green to depict room
availability, so users can easily locate and book an available room
directly from the panel.

Guestroom Accommodations

In addition to the new HRQ750 and HRU750 Series, the guestroom also
features the next generation of the LYNK
HMS
, the sleeker, faster and more powerful LYNK HMS 3.0. Leveraging
the benefits of Tizen 5.0 paired with Telkonet’s
Ecosmart devices
for in-room control, LYNK HMS 3.0 allows guests to
use the Room Control app to power the lights on and off, control the
thermostat and drapery or activate the ‘do-not-disturb’ sign. The
three-part solution also streamlines operations with room management and
can reduce costs while improving energy efficiency. Also in the
guestroom section is the Harman
Kardon Enchant Series soundbars
featuring Multibeam, a technology

Guests can experience deep bass without the need of an additional
subwoofer. Compatible with the Samsung HMS solution, Harman Voice

commands.

Outdoor Enhancements

The outdoor area will demonstrate how the Samsung OHF
Outdoor Series

conveniently and easily installed, designed and operated with a thin,

without hassle. With excellent visibility under direct sunlight through
2,500-nit high brightness and anti-reflection glass, the OHF Series
displays optimally convey messaging to virtually any viewer in any
location. The highly weather resistant JBL
Control 88M Landscape Speakers
are designed for outdoor applications
and provide full-range sound quality with 360-degree coverage. The
speakers can be mounted on or in the ground and their tough polyethylene
enclosure resists any damage from lawn care equipment and the elements.
