In fact, Samsung's so confident its quantum-dot TVs won't have burn-in, it's introducing a new 10-year warranty just for it.

Samsung's quantum-dot TVs also support High Dynamic Range (HDR). New partnerships with Netflix will see more 4K HDR content (i.e. Marco Polo, Chef's Table, Jessica Jones, Stranger Things) become available.

"Quantum-dot TVs means longer lifespan that are more reliable," said Zoelle.
