Samsung has announced that its 2020 TVs have received the Tried and Tested rating from the United kingdom's RNIB (Royal National Institute of Blind) for meeting the accessibility criteria for the visually impaired. This is the first time in the industry that a TV has received the accreditation from the agency.

RNIB awards the Tried and Tested accreditation to apps, products, services, and websites that meet the criteria for accessibility for people with impaired vision. This shows Samsung'south commitment to making its products easier to apply for all consumers. The company has worked with RNIB since 2013 to make sure that its products are suited with proper features to offering accessibility for all users.

Samsung TVs come with features such as High Dissimilarity mode and Vocalisation Guide since 2014. The Loftier Contrast style displays graphic information with opaque blackness backgrounds and white font for enhanced visibility. The Voice Guide feature enables the Television receiver to read aloud program information. RNIB presented the 'Inclusive Club Award' to Samsung in 2016.
