The 2019 OLED TVs include the 8K Q900 model and with it, the tech giant is "widening [Apple's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uled-tv) ecosystem." Although subscribing to the features of its competitors, this might prove to be a worthwhile endeavor for the company. Aside from being compatible with the iTunes Movie and Video software, the new Samsung TVs also boast a number of other smart home features. This includes compatibility with Alexa and [Google](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sony-bravia-xr98x90l) Home Assistants, as well as a few specs for the gamers that will "keep latency, blur, and screen tearing to a minimum." In addition, the new Samsung TVs will sport AirPlay 2 although that is not yet fully developed.
