The 2022 Neo QLED TVs come with Neo Quantum Processor that comes with advanced contrast mapping with BLU (backlight unit) that increases the brightness levels from 12 to 14-bit gradation. Thanks to the new technology, Samsung's new Neo QLED TVs now have 16,384 steps of lighting control over last gen's 4,096.

They also Shape Adaptive Light technology that analyzes lines, shapes, and surfaces to control the shape of light from the Quantum Mini LEDs. The Real Depth Enhancer technology "creates a greater sense of realism" by rendering the objects in the front against its background to create a sense of depth.
