Peak Illuminator is a Samsung technology that operates at the software level; it enhances image quality by increasing the brightness of specific areas of the frame. As a result, the picture looks richer, more contrasted, and more detailed. This effect is particularly noticeable when the original video quality is lower than what the TV can display. This image enhancement technology began to be advertised in 2015 and completely disappeared in 2017. During its existence, it underwent several transformations, starting with Peak Illuminator, followed by Peak Illuminator Ultimate and Peak Illuminator Pro.

How Peak Illuminator Works

When the technology is activated, intelligent image processing takes place; a special program evens out the overall background of the scene, dark areas become brighter, and as a result, color gradation is improved.

Starting in 2017, Samsung gradually phased out the use of Peak Illuminator. This is due to the emergence of new screen types, such as QLED, which inherently provide higher image quality.

In addition, modern TVs have more advanced image processing algorithms built into the system. These automatically enhance the picture. Moreover, too many technological claims are perceived very negatively by consumers, as they subconsciously understand that a TV cannot possibly have dozens of image-enhancement features.
