IBM's artificial intelligence has selected Samsung Electronics televisions as the top trend brand, saying consumers praised their picture quality, sound and high resolution.

Samsung TVs received 100 in Today's Trend Score, IBM's mobile application Watson Trend said on its website, saying the score was based on snippets of conversation related to the trend that comes from tens of thousands of sources, from Twitter to blogs to review sites.

The runner-up was Sony.

Samsung TV owners were very pleased with their purchase across many different sized units, Watson Trend said, adding many people noted that their Samsung TV was "the best TV I have ever owned!".

"Owners give high praise for both picture quality and sound while the latest buzz around the TVs is centered around the affordability of Samsung models with 4K resolution," it said.

Watson Trend has been introduced as a new means for consumers to understand the top buying trends of the holiday season.

Using a mix of machine learning, sentiment analysis, keyword analytics as well as natural language analysis, Watson Trend tracks the top 100 marketing items throughout three prominent categories: customer electronics, toys and health and wellness.
