Fans can now watch unique 8K footage from the eagerly awaited The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power series on Samsung’s cutting-edge screens thanks to a partnership between Samsung Electronics and Prime Video.
Before the September 2nd series premiere on Prime Video, Tolkien fans and newcomers alike also will have early access to exclusive content only with Samsung. Today in New York City, Samsung will host an exclusive sneak peek screening event featuring 25 minutes of content from the series’ first two episodes on its three-story LED video wall at Samsung 837 — its flagship experience center. Starting this week, dynamic creative from the series will debut on Samsung’s landmark LED digital screens overlooking New York City’s Times Square, London’s Piccadilly Circus and Milan’s Piazza del Duomo.
The first provider of series content in 8K quality will be Samsung, who will provide a unique sneak peek with special scenes. On Samsung Neo QLED 8K TVs and “The Wall” 8K Micro LED displays, viewers will have the chance to witness the epic trip in unprecedented depth and detail. We’ll shortly announce ways for fans to view the 8K exclusive clip.
“Collaborations such as this mark a major milestone in bringing 8K — the most premium display technology — to the forefront for viewers,” said Simon Sung, Executive Vice President and Head of the Sales & Marketing Team of the Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “For the first time, fans can experience the stunning imagery of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power on Samsung Neo QLED 8K TVs.”
