VAC brings together Samsung’s broadest range of AI service platforms, including Bixby, Perplexity and Microsoft Copilot 3 , to make the TV experience more intelligent and personalized. Designed to work alongside users as an entertainment companion, VAC can help guide what to watch, what to eat and what to listen to, extending the role of the TV beyond viewing alone. The AI TV lineup also brings AI- enhanced entertainment features to movies, sports and gaming:

highly precise color, brightness and immersive AI-powered viewing to more consumers. Available in the
R95H and R85H series in sizes from 65 to 115 inches, Micro RGB is built on Samsung’s proprietary
Micro RGB Technology, which uses individually controlled red, green and blue micro LEDs to deliver
highly precise light control, richer detail and more natural color. Additionally, Glare Free technology
minimizes light reflection in bright environments, helping preserve a clear viewing experience across a
range of lighting conditions.

Micro RGB also brings VAC and other AI-optimized features to Samsung’s premium large-screen

Each model delivers the brightness, contrast and smart optimization expected from a true QLED experience.

Certified by TÜV Rheinland as a Real QLED TV, Samsung Neo QLED uses a blue light backlight and a genuine quantum dot sheet to maintain a stable color spectrum and consistent picture performance.

Real QLED with 100% Color Volume helps keep color accurate and stable, even at high brightness levels. Quantum Mini LED also enables ultra-precise light control, creating deeper contrast, clearer detail and more consistent brightness scene after scene.

for a wide range of content.

control and Pure Spectrum Color give images greater depth and clarity, as well as contrast that feels
more defined from scene to scene. With two distinct models, Samsung makes Mini LED and AI-powered viewing available to more consumers.

Yunnan Ep 1- Arriving at Kunming 28th March 2025

Welcome to Kun Ming
When we arrived at Kun Ming city, we were picked up by our driver. We opted for a 2-pax private tour
We were driven in a comfortable BYD
Traffic in the city as usual
Checked-in at the Hua Shin Nian Hotel
Accommodations in Kun Ming are affordable and of good standard. Comfy with a hint of luxury
We were eager to get out and about the city. We were wondering if we could chance upon the Golden Horse and Jade Rooster Archways (金马碧鸡坊 Jinma Biji Fang) that evening itself. We were prepared to just wait for our guide tomorrow if it was too out of the way.
To our delight it was just a few minutes walk from our hotel!
And we explored more in to the old town. It was not as difficult as we expected it to be.
Some sights were worth a stop for a while
Things we saw while galivanting
Cherry blossoms were definitely a sight to behold. 
This was definitely a win for us this trip
The cherry blossoms lighten up the city even more than the lights
Dreaming underneath the flowers
Snacking along the way in the ancient town
Such a warm feeling to be accompanied by food along our stroll
Liang pi
Yak jerky
Oh yes and flower tea

And we settled down for a snack set
Just the right degustation set to introduce Kun Ming food
More cherry blossoms on the way back
The next morning, I visited the arch again before sunrise. The calm environment showcased another kind of beauty of the arch
Sunrise in Kun Ming
Some quaint heritage houses
This is the distinctive, crescent-shaped, Art Deco-style buildings on Guanghua Street in Kunming, nicknamed "Sister Buildings" or "paper-thin buildings," famous for their unique, slim, golden facades built post-WWII to commemorate Allied victory, now often a boutique hotel. 
A walk at the Green Lake Park 翠湖公园.
I thought it was just another park but the gardens here are indeed impressive
Green Lake Park is a popular, free, central urban park in Kunming, China, famous for its serene waters, traditional scenery
Just look at the blooms
Flowers of every hue carefully curated
There are CCTVs all around this park
To our relief, the public toilets are clean and even electronically devised
Seasonal flower installation
And we are off to our next destination- Dali
The R&R stops at China highway
