Samsung Electronics’ Series 9 Proven as a premium product even in environment-friendliness

Samsung Electronics Levant, a global leader in digital media and convergence technologies, today announced that Samsung Electronics’ premium notebook, the Series 9, became the first laptop to receive the TCO Certified Edge. The Series 9 has thus proven its excellence in environment-friendliness as well. 

The TCO Certified Edge is a supplement award open for those products that already meet the TCO Certified criteria, which are world-renowned standards on the environment-friendliness of electric and electronic products. From among TCO Certified products, the most outstanding eco-friendly technology in an industry is chosen as an ‘edge technology’ and the TCO Certified Edge is awarded to a product that provides the technology.

The Series 9 meets the TCO Certified criteria on environment and usability (picture quality, ergonomics, safety, low emission, energy efficient, ecology, etc.). It was awarded the TCO Certified Edge thanks to its display technology, which received recognition as a ‘visual ergonomics technology’. The display technology ensures excellent readability even in bright outdoor environments based on superior brightness and vibrant color reproduction.

The Series 9 was launched targeting the global premium notebook market. This ultra-lightweight, 1.31kg notebook features a superior ergonomic, aesthetic design. The notebook’s SuperBright Plus display with 400nit brightness, which is 100% brighter than conventional displays, as well as its vibrant Color reproduction (16 million colors) creating 60 times greater color depth and Contrast ratio (1,300:1), makes it one of the most beautiful notebook displays on the market.

“The Series 9 will greatly appeal to premium consumers all across the globe as it offers excellence in design, performance, as well as environment-friendliness. As a leading IT company, Samsung Electronics will reinforce more eco-friendly features for PC products,” said Sangsuk Roh, President of Samsung Electronics Levant.
