With 4K UHD resolution, the Samsung SERIF TV offers the best picture quality available in a 40\u201d TV, making it just as beautiful to watch as it is to experience. Additionally, the SERIF TV features the exclusive Curtain Mode interface that veils content on the screen to give an abstract impression of what is happening in the background, shutting down content without turning off the TV itself. Even when Curtain Mode is active, viewers can still access services such as a clock, Bluetooth speakers, apps and their photo gallery.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10714 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/news.samsung.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/UE40LS001A_001_Front_White-e1478112556811-950x776.jpg\" alt=\"UN40LS001AF - SERIF TV\" width=\"730\" height=\"596\" srcset=\"https:\/\/img.us.news.samsung.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/14170248\/UE40LS001A_001_Front_White-e1478112556811-950x776.jpg 950w, https:\/\/img.us.news.samsung.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/14170248\/UE40LS001A_001_Front_White-e1478112556811-600x490.jpg 600w, https:\/\/img.us.news.samsung.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/14170248\/UE40LS001A_001_Front_White-e1478112556811.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom top to bottom, Samsung partnered with the Bouroullec Brothers to reimagine not just how the TV looks but also how it functions to meet the needs of consumers who care just as deeply about design as they do about picture quality,\u201d <strong>said <a href=\"http:\/\/news.samsung.com\/us\/2016\/06\/23\/samsung-dave-das-pov-suhd-smart-tv-content\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dave Das<\/a>, Senior Vice President, Home Entertainment, Samsung Electronics America.<\/strong> \u201cWe are so honored to be recognized by Oprah and her team this holiday season for this unique approach to television design.\u201d<br \/>\nEvery holiday shopping season, Oprah and the editors of O, The Oprah Magazine compile a list of standout products released throughout the year.
