Last updated on: May 17, 2012 17:25 IST


Samsung Electronics on Thursday announced the launch of its new, more interactive and intuitive Smart TV models - its flagship LED ES8000 and ES7500 series and the Plasma E8000 series in the Indian market.

Samsung's Smart Interaction technology provides Smart TV users with a new, more natural and intuitive option for controlling and interacting with the TV - breaking the physical boundaries between the consumer and screen.

Samsung's new voice control, motion control and face recognition aims at advancing the user experience in a competitive TV market that values ease, convenience and choice.

With this technology, users can turn the TV on or off, activate selected apps or search for and select content in the web browser without a remote.
