SYDNEY: The tech-giant Samsung Australia has announced a six-month free Netflix subscription for the customers, who will buy one of the company’s new televisions.
The all-you-can-eat streaming service launched in Australia in March to rejoice across the Internet. Since then, companies have been scrambling to get on the Netflix train.
Telecommunications company Optus and Internet service provider iiNet have offered uncapped data for those all-too-common TV binges, while Optus also started chucking in a subscription when a new customer chose one of the company’s phone plans.
Now the tech powerhouse Samsung is coming to the party, by offering some of the first purchasers a Netflix subscription.
“Australians will absolutely love watching the latest and most popular shows and movies on this TV that can streamed straight to the living room from the likes of Netflix, Presto and Stan,” Samsung Australia’s Corporate Vice President Philip Newton said in a statement.
The company launched its three new 4K television series — JS9500, JS9000 and JS8000 — in Sydney on Tuesday night, complete with nano-crystal technology. The SUHD TVs range in price from A$4,999 for the 55-inch through to A$24,999 for the 88-inch and are all available in April, except the 88-inch that will be released locally in June.
The screens are a unique curved design, use quantum-dot technology for brighter, more accurate colours and has a brand new smart TV platform running on a Tizen operating system.
Samsung launched the new range of SUHD at CES in Las Vegas in January, with U.S. pricing and availability being announced earlier this month.
