Samsung 2026 TV lineup: everything you need to know
Every January, CES (Consumer Electronics Show) rolls into Las Vegas to show off the tech of the future, with TVs taking centre stage. It’s where brands announce what’s coming next - and where we find out what will be worth upgrading to later in the year.
For fans of Samsung TVs, CES 2026 was a big one - some seriously impressive TVs have been revealed. These include new Micro RGB TVs, smarter OLED TVs, refined Neo QLED TVs, plus lots of exciting AI features. So, let’s take a closer look at what to expect from Samsung…
Samsung 2026 TV innovations & AI upgrades
Samsung is leaning hard into AI this year, with new features designed to quietly improve your viewing. No thinking from you required!
The star of the show is Vision AI Companion. This is Samsung’s new built-in assistant that learns what you like to watch and gently nudges you towards the shows, films, or even music you’ll enjoy. It can also handle voice interaction, live translation, and generate custom wallpapers when your TV’s idle.
Sports fans are well looked after too. AI Soccer Mode automatically tweaks picture and sound settings when a match is detected, making grass colours look more natural, motion smoother, and crowd noise feel more atmospheric. Combined with AI Motion Enhancer Pro, fast action looks smooth whether you’re watching football, motorsports, or an action film.
Sound is also more intelligent, with the AI Sound Controller rebalancing audio as it happens. It can reduce crowd noise so commentary stays clear, or boost dialogue during those mumbly TV dramas starring Tom Hardy. And when you pair a compatible TV with a Samsung soundbar, Eclipsa Audio works alongside Dolby Atmos and Q-Symphony to create a more spacious, immersive sound.
All of this runs on Tizen OS 10.0, which now comes with seven years of software support. That’s a big deal. It means your TV should feel current for much longer - with app updates, smart home features, and voice assistants continuing to improve over time.
Micro RGB TVs: Samsung’s big leap in 2026
Micro RGB is another star in Samsung’s 2026 lineup. This is Samsung’s new top-tier LCD technology, and it replaces Samsung’s old premium Mini LED TV Neo QLED models.
Instead of using white LEDs with colour filters, Micro RGB uses individual red, green, and blue LEDs in the backlight. That means purer colours, higher brightness, and more control over what you see on screen. The Micro RGB 2026 range includes three models: R95H, R90H, and R85H. Across all three, you’ll find Vision AI Companion, live translation features, AI sound modes, and Eclipsa Audio. But there are differences between them, of course.
The king-sized R95H
The R95H is the flagship here. It’s available in 65", 75", 85", and a jaw-dropping 130" sizes. It comes with a Glare-Free coating, Wireless One Connect readiness, HDR10+ Advanced, and full 100% BT.2020 colour coverage. This is Samsung going all-in on home cinema!
The super-advanced R90H
The R90H sits in the middle. While Samsung hasn’t confirmed every detail yet, it’s expected to include the Micro RGB AI Engine Pro and HDR10+ Advanced.
The lower-priced R85H
The R85H comes in sizes ranging from 55" up to 100", and it brings Micro RGB technology to lower price points. You’ll still get advanced features like the Micro RGB AI Engine Pro and Precision Color 100, but HDR10+ Advanced is dropped to keep costs down.
Samsung OLED TV lineup for 2026
Samsung OLED TVs will be better than ever in 2026, with improved brightness, gaming performance, and all-round usability. Across the board, Samsung’s OLEDs include AI Motion Enhancer Pro, AI Sound Controller, AI Soccer Mode, and Eclipsa Audio. With AMD FreeSync Premium and high refresh rates, these TVs are an especially good shout for gamers.
The king-sized S95H
The S95H is the leading OLED. Available from 48" to 83", it comes with Wireless One Connect readiness and a Glare Free 3.0 coating. Thanks to QD-OLED panels and HDR10+ Advanced, it’s around 35% brighter than last year’s Samsung S95F - which really helps HDR films pop. Gamers get a 165Hz refresh rate, making fast-paced titles feel slick and smooth.
The mid-range S90H
The S90H is a more cost-effective option with lots to offer. Models range from 42" to 83", with a mix of QD-OLED and WOLED panels depending on size. It’s around 15% brighter than the older Samsung S90F and still supports 165Hz gaming. All of this makes it a great all-rounder for films, TV, and consoles.
The affordable S85H
The S85H is the most affordable OLED in the range. It uses WOLED panels, keeps HDR10+ Advanced, and includes Vision AI as standard. The design is simpler, but you still get those classic OLED strengths - perfect blacks, great contrast, and wide viewing angles.
Samsung Neo-QLED TVs for 2026
Confirmed Samsung Neo QLED TVs for 2026 include the QN80H (4K), which replaces the QN80F and adds more local dimming zones for improved HDR and contrast. It’s available in sizes up to a huge 100", making it a good choice for big, bright living rooms. It’s also clearly aimed at gamers. Dual Line Gate technology enables refresh rates up to 288Hz at half resolution. That might sound a bit techy to most of us, but it’s a feature that competitive gamers looking for flawless action will appreciate.
Taking things up a level, the QN990H is Samsung’s new flagship 8K Neo QLED. It’s available up to 98", and it’s all about scale, brightness, and future-facing resolution.
One big shift is the absence of a direct QN90F replacement. It looks like Samsung has moved its premium focus to Micro RGB (mentioned above) instead. That said, Neo QLED still shines for bright rooms, daytime viewing, sports, and animated content.
Samsung The Frame & Frame Pro: what’s new for 2026?
Samsung The Frame TVs are still the most distinctive Samsung TVs you can buy. If you want a TV that doubles as part of your décor, they’re hard to beat. For 2026, The Frame range will stretch up to a 98" model (currently available in US only), with other sizes ranging from 43" to 85".
The Frame Pro model adds a new 55" size to its 65", 75", and 85" range. Its standout feature is the Wireless One Connect Box, which uses Wi-Fi 7 to send 4K video and audio to the TV from up to 10 metres away. The result of all this is a super-clean wall-mounted look with just a single cable that can be hidden discreetly.
Both The Frame and Frame Pro come with Vision AI Companion and back up HDR10+ Advanced, so you get a noticeable step up in picture quality. HDR10+ means brighter highlights, richer colours, and deeper contrast - so films and TV shows look more lifelike.
Samsung’s biggest TV sizes in 2026: ultra-large models explained
Samsung is going big in 2026. Literally. New ultra-large options include the 130" R95H Micro RGB and 100" QN80H Neo QLED 4K. There’s also a 100" M90H QLED and a 98" Crystal UHD option for more budget-friendly big-screen viewing.
Models from 2025, like the 115" MR95F Micro RGB and 98" QN90F, are sticking around too. If you’ve ever wanted cinema-scale viewing at home, Samsung now gives you more ways to do it.
FAQs
What Samsung TVs were announced at CES 2026?
Samsung announced a wide mix of TVs at CES 2026, covering Micro RGB, OLED, Neo QLED, QLED, and lifestyle models like The Frame. The biggest news is the expansion of Micro RGB, which now replaces Samsung’s previous flagship Neo QLED models. It’s one of Samsung’s most varied line-ups in years.
What is Micro RGB and how does it differ from OLED?
Micro RGB is a premium LCD technology that uses individual red, green, and blue LEDs in its backlight. This produces accurate colours and very high brightness.
OLED works differently, with self-lit pixels that can switch off completely – which gives you perfect blacks and great contrast.
Micro RGB is better when it comes to colour volume and large screen sizes. OLED is still the go-to for deep blacks and cinematic contrast in darker rooms.
Which Samsung OLED TVs are best for movies?
For film fans, the new S95H is the standout choice. Its QD-OLED panel, higher brightness, and HDR10+ Advanced support makes it perfect for HDR films and home cinema setups.
Are Samsung 2026 TVs good for gaming?
Yes. It looks like gaming is a big priority for Samsung in 2026. With low input lag and AI motion enhancements, Samsung TVs work well for everything from casual console gaming to fast-paced PC titles.
A lot of models support refresh rates up to 165Hz, along with AMD FreeSync Premium for smoother gameplay. The QN70H can go up to 288Hz at reduced resolution, making fast-action games feel more responsive.
When will Samsung CES 2026 TVs be available in the UK?
Samsung hasn’t confirmed exact UK release dates yet. Based on previous launches, most models are expected to roll out gradually through 2026, starting in spring and summer. Keeping an eye on the Samsung TV range at Electriz is the easiest way to stay up to date.
What are the benefits of Neo-QLED TVs?
Neo QLED TVs use Mini LED backlighting to deliver high brightness, strong contrast, and good control over light blooming. They’re well suited to bright rooms, daytime TV, sports, and family viewing. Compared to OLED, Neo QLED handles reflections well and keeps colours looking punchy – even when the sun’s shining into a room.
Should I choose The Frame for art-mode viewing?
If you want a TV that blends into your room rather than dominating it, The Frame is a great choice. Its Art Mode displays artwork when you’re not watching TV. And the matte finish reduces reflections so it really does look like a framed print.
