<\/p>\nLatest model delivers the same core performance and reliability as the 5-metre and 10-metre versions \u2014 now optimised for larger premium theatres<\/p>\n
With scalable design, industry-leading reliability and growing global adoption, Samsung expands its leadership in premium cinema LED\n <\/p>\n

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced a new 14-metre standard size for its Onyx (ICD model) cinema LED lineup at CinemaCon 2026, expanding the platform into larger premium auditoriums. The new model is designed for Premium Large Format (PLF) theatres and delivers the same picture quality, reliability and scalability that define the Onyx platform at a larger scale.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
As cinemas raise the bar on premium, differentiated experiences, larger-format auditoriums are becoming a key priority for exhibitors. Samsung\u2019s new 14-metre format[1]<\/a> is designed to meet this demand \u2013 enabling greater immersion, optimised seating layouts and more efficient use of theatre space.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cPeople go to premium theatres for something they cannot recreate at home,\u201d said Hyoung Jae Kim, Executive Vice President of the Visual Display (VD) Business at Samsung Electronics. \u201cThat raises the bar for every part of the auditorium, starting with the screen. Samsung\u2019s new 14-metre Onyx gives exhibitors a way to bring the premium experience to larger auditoriums, helping turn moviegoing into a superior, immersive experience.\u201d<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Expanding Premium Cinema Experiences with Screens Up to 20 Metres<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Since its debut in 2017, Samsung Onyx has broadened what cinema LED can deliver with deep blacks, rich colour and striking contrast. Following last year\u2019s launch of the 5-metre model for boutique theatres and the 10-metre model for premium auditoriums,[2]<\/a> Samsung is now expanding the lineup with a 14-metre standard size designed for larger theatre environments.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The new model brings the same core Onyx experience including support for up to 4K 120Hz,[3]<\/a> providing exceptional clarity and ultra-smooth motion while introducing two further distinctions tailored to the 14-metre format:<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n 3.3mm pixel pitch: optimised for the 14-metre format to deliver sharp, consistent image quality on a larger screen.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Flexible scaling support: enables the 14-metre format to expand up to 20 metres \u2013 more than doubling total screen area without compromising presentation quality. Individual LED cabinets can be added to the sides and bottom to achieve the desired size, creating a seamless, floor-to-ceiling visual experience.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n As the world\u2019s first DCI-certified cinema LED display,[4]<\/a> Onyx supports both scope (2.39:1) and flat (1.85:1) aspect ratios. Samsung\u2019s HDR technology delivers peak brightness of up to 300 nits, approximately six times brighter than conventional cinema standards.[5]<\/a> Onyx also achieves 100% colour volume at peak brightness, while its infinite contrast ratio enables true black levels for deeper immersion and greater detail in dark scenes.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Beyond traditional movie screenings, Onyx is also well-suited for alternative content such as live sports, concerts, gaming events and corporate presentations. Unlike conventional projection-based systems, the Onyx LED screen delivers consistent brightness and image quality regardless of screen size or seating position. Compatibility with Dolby and GDC media servers also helps support streamlined theatre management.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Onyx Builds on Global Adoption Across Premium Cinemas<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Since launching the latest Onyx lineup (ICD model) last year, Samsung has expanded its presence in premium cinema through growing exhibitor adoption and high-profile installations. One of the latest examples is Path\u00e9 Dar Essalam in Rabat, Morocco, where the latest Onyx has been installed as part of a newly developed premium cinema complex in the city\u2019s luxury district.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Designed in collaboration with Path\u00e9\u2019s headquarters, the venue is positioned as a flagship destination comparable to Path\u00e9 Palace<\/a> in Paris, with all four auditoriums equipped with Onyx displays in 10-metre, 5-metre and scaled 6.4-meter configurations. With 12 Onyx screens in total, including four of the latest Onyx screens, Path\u00e9 now operates more Onyx screens than any other cinema company in Europe.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Samsung\u2019s momentum with the latest Onyx lineup also extends to the United States. In December 2025, Trilith Cinemas<\/a> in Fayetteville, Georgia became the first U.S. theatre to premiere the latest generation of Samsung Onyx cinema LED screens, installing them across five auditoriums. Located in one of the country\u2019s most active production communities, the theatre offers audiences a setting that matches the scale, visual detail and creative intent of the production process.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cThe future of exhibition is driven by innovations that elevate how audiences experience film,\u201d said Bo Chambliss, President of Georgia Theatre Company. \u201cPartnering with Samsung to bring the latest Onyx Cinema LED to GTC Trilith Cinemas marks a meaningful step forward. With exceptional brightness, contrast, and colour accuracy, Onyx sets a new standard for image performance while remaining true to the filmmaker\u2019s intent. Its reliability allows us to deliver a consistently premium experience for our guests \u2013 a natural fit for a location so closely connected to the creative community.\u201d<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Attendees at CinemaCon 2026 can learn more about Samsung\u2019s latest cinema innovations at Samsung\u2019s booth in Roman Ballroom 1&2 at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas featuring the latest Onyx cinema LED display, glasses-free 3D Spatial Signage, and a 115-inch digital signage display.
