Samsung Electronics today announced a partnership with game developers Nexon Korea and Neople to deliver unparalleled 3D experiences in the upcoming game ‘The First Berserker: Khazan.’ The game’s 3D elements are being specially customized and designed during development, utilizing Samsung technology and the advanced capabilities of the Odyssey 3D monitor to create an immersive 3D gaming experience.
Through this partnership, Nexon, Neople and Samsung have been working closely to tailor the 3D visuals, carefully adjusting them based on the composition of characters, backgrounds and cinematics throughout the game. This process gives the developers an unprecedented level of control over the 3D effects, enabling them to bring their creative visions to life with precision.

By fine-tuning the focal distance for 3D effects on a case-by-case basis, Nexon and Neople aim to develop specific scenarios that determine when and how elements become 3D.

“This partnership marks a significant step in establishing a competitive 3D gaming model on a global scale, driving innovation across the whole industry,” said Choi Sung-wook, head of the publishing live division at Nexon. “We are excited for gamers worldwide to experience the vibrant graphics and intricate gameplay of ‘The First Berserker: Khazan,’ made possible by the cutting-edge technologies available to our developers and the industry-leading Samsung Odyssey gaming monitor.”
‘The First Berserker: Khazan’ is a hardcore action RPG (role playing game) where players experience Khazan’s legendary journey firsthand, immersing themselves in the world of Nexon’s leading franchise — the Dungeon & Fighter Universe. The game is set for global release on March 28 KST.
The Odyssey 3D, unveiled at CES 2024 and recognized with the prestigious Best of Innovation award, will launch worldwide in April, delivering groundbreaking 3D technology that elevates gaming for players globally.

Samsung Electronics, a global leader in display technology, today announced it will showcase its highly anticipated 2025 hotel TV lineup at Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) 2025 in Barcelona. The new lineup combines sophisticated designs, cutting-edge in-room entertainment features and a unified platform, reinforcing Samsung’s commitment to redefining the premium hotel experience.
“Our 2025 hotel TV lineup is designed to elevate the guest experience with personalization at its core,” said Hoon Chung, Executive Vice President of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “Hotels can customize their room’s ambiance with The Frame’s Art Mode, offer seamless streaming with Apple Airplay and the newly added Google Cast, and enable convenient control of the room environment through SmartThings Pro, all tailored to individual guest preferences.”
Redefining Hotel Aesthetics With The Frame
Samsung’s 2025 lineup introduces the award-winning The Frame (model name HL03F)1 as a hotel TV, bringing stunning 4K QLED picture quality with vivid colors, deep contrasts and lifelike visuals to every room, all while maintaining a sleek and sophisticated design that transforms interiors. With its innovative Art Mode, The Frame allows hotel managers to customize guest rooms and surroundings by displaying a curated selection of modern or classic artwork — or even other tailored images such as hotel-branded visuals — when the TV is not in use.
Combined with an Anti-Reflection Matte Display that limits light interference and a Slim-Fit Wall Mount that enables the TV to sit flush against the wall like a true art piece, The Frame elevates hotel aesthetics with a unique blend of luxury and personalization.
As the official visual display sponsor of Art Basel, The Frame reflects Samsung’s dedication to combining cutting-edge technology with timeless design. Its introduction sets a new benchmark for hotels seeking to deliver a refined, personalized and visually captivating experience for their guests.
Enhancing Guest Experiences With Google Cast for Seamless Streaming

Samsung’s 2025 hotel TV lineup, along with the 2024 HBU8000, takes in-room entertainment to the next level by supporting Google Cast2 for secure, seamless, in-room streaming. Guests will be able to easily cast their favorite content directly from their Android and iOS devices to the TV without the need for additional dongles or login requirements. The connection process is quick and straightforward, utilizing QR codes for instant pairing.
“We’re thrilled to bring Google Cast to Samsung TVs, extending the convenience of seamless content sharing to both hospitality and consumer models,” said Tiger Lan, Google’s Senior Director of engineering for multi-device experiences. “Whether guests are enjoying their favorite shows and playlists on hotel TVs or streaming effortlessly at home, this collaboration ensures users have reliable, personalized access to their content wherever they are.”
The lineup also supports Apple AirPlay,3 allowing hotel guests to securely connect their iOS and iPadOS devices to the TVs in their rooms for an effortless streaming experience.
Unlike traditional systems, both Apple Airplay and Google Cast can be used independently of third-party system integrator (SI) requirements, simplifying installation for hotels and reducing infrastructure demands. Furthermore, Samsung ensures robust privacy by ensuring that no personal information or device pairing data is stored, giving guests complete peace of mind during their stay.
Streamlining Hotel Operations With a Connected Ecosystem
Samsung’s 2025 hotel TV lineup introduces a fully connected ecosystem designed to enhance operations and elevate guest experiences. With Tizen 9.0, guests benefit from an intuitive and seamless interface that simplifies access to streaming apps, smart room controls and personalized services, creating a more enjoyable and connected stay.
For hotel operators, LYNK Cloud offers a powerful cloud-based solution that combines customizable content delivery, remote device management and over-the-top (OTT) entertainment. Equipped with an e-commerce platform, it enables guests to perform service interactions such as ordering room service, booking hotel amenities and accessing a digital concierge. Simultaneously, hotel managers gain valuable insights to personalize guest content and deploy targeted promotions across rooms or properties globally, driving operational efficiency and guest satisfaction.
SmartThings Pro further strengthens IoT connectivity by enabling secure and centralized control of Samsung Hospitality TVs, Smart Signage, air conditioning systems and more. With a scalable dashboard and customizable application programming interfaces (APIs), SmartThings Pro allows hotel IT teams to monitor performance, manage devices across multiple units and seamlessly integrate with existing systems.

Samsung Electronics announced today that its Neo QLED and Lifestyle TVs have been awarded EyeCare Circadian certification by Verband Deutscher Elektrotechniker (VDE), a leading electrical engineering certification institute in Germany. This achievement highlights Samsung’s commitment to developing technology that supports natural circadian rhythms, promoting well-being and visual comfort.
“This certification underscores our dedication to creating products that elevate the user experience by prioritizing eye comfort and reducing visual strain, all while delivering exceptional picture quality,” said Taeyong Son, Executive Vice President of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “We will continue to drive innovations that anticipate and adapt to users’ evolving needs, offering both immersive entertainment and sustainable long-term comfort.”
The certification covers major models across the Neo QLED and Lifestyle lineups, including The Frame and The Serif. Six critical criteria are evaluated when determining when a product is fit for certification: Safety for Eyes, Gentle to the eyes, Flicker Level, Uniformity, Color Fidelity and Circadian Stimulus (CS) index — a framework designed to assess visual comfort and circadian rhythm alignment.
Central to Samsung’s achievement is EyeComfort Mode, which automatically adjusts luminance and color temperature based on time of day and ambient lighting conditions. By simulating natural light patterns, the mode reduces strain during daytime viewing and fosters a restful nighttime environment, aligning with the body’s natural rhythms.
This certification adds to a series of recognitions for Samsung TVs, highlighting their user-centric products and features. The Neo QLED series previously earned VDE’s Circadian Rhythm Display certification, while Samsung’s Lifestyle TVs received Glare-Free verification from Underwriters Laboratories (UL) for reducing visual strain. Additionally, for their exceptional color accuracy, Samsung TVs are Pantone Validated.
