This guide walks through every 2026 model, compares the new technologies, and helps you with the first considerations when choosing the Samsung TV that best fits your needs. If you would first like a refresher on the different panel technologies, we invite you to consult our television technology guide.
The Advent of Micro RGB — Samsung's New Flagship Technology
At the top of the 2026 lineup sits a new category: Micro RGB televisions. Micro RGB is a direct-emission LED backlighting technology where each pixel is illuminated by its own red, green, and blue LED — with no white backlight and no organic layer. Instead of relying on a monochrome backlight or organic layers, Micro RGB generates color directly at the source. The result is an unprecedented level of precision in both brightness and color reproduction, without the loss or dilution caused by traditional filtering methods.
Capable of covering 100% of the BT.2020 color space, Micro RGB technology surpasses the limits of OLED and Mini LED in terms of color reproduction. What makes this advancement even more significant is its accessibility. Previously reserved for custom designs or very large formats, Micro RGB now extends to more traditional residential sizes — from 55 inches to an extraordinary 130 inches — bringing reference-grade performance into real living spaces.
The flagship R95H model further elevates the experience with advanced visual processing from the new AI Engine Pro processor, HDR10+ Advanced support, and a striking "Timeless Frame" design that transforms the screen into a true architectural element. Wireless One Connect compatibility allows the connection hub to be housed in a separate external box for a cleaner installation.
The R85H, while slightly more accessible, retains the core advantages of Micro RGB, bringing this new generation of color precision and contrast to a wider range of screen sizes and environments. Together, these models mark the beginning of a new reference category — where the TV is no longer just a screen, but a window onto a more realistic and immersive visual experience.

Samsung OLED 2026: Brighter, More Immersive, More Integrated
Samsung's OLED lineup continues to mature rapidly, and the S95H model is its most advanced expression to date. The most striking improvement concerns brightness: with a 35% increase over the previous generation, peak luminance now reaches levels approaching 2,800 nits, opening the door to a new level of realism for HDR content. Highlights gain in intensity, depth becomes more tangible, and the image takes on a true three-dimensional quality.
Equally revolutionary is the introduction of the "FloatLayer" design, where the screen appears to float when wall-mounted, framed by a subtle metal structure. This marks a turning point toward TVs designed not only to be watched, but to integrate into our living spaces. For the first time, QD-OLED technology also has access to Samsung's Art features — a sign of growing confidence in screen durability and long-term image stability (available exclusively on the S95H). The TV now transitions effortlessly from entertainment to visual art. Discover the S95H model at Fillion.
Sitting at the heart of the 2026 OLED lineup, the S90H and S85H bring the essence of OLED performance within reach of more consumers. The S90H stands out as a high-performance mid-range option, combining Samsung's latest AI-based processing with improved brightness, a new anti-glare matte finish, and advanced gaming capabilities — including a refresh rate of up to 165 Hz — making it as attractive to film enthusiasts as to gaming fans.
The S85H, on the other hand, emphasizes accessibility while retaining the fundamental advantages of OLED — perfect blacks and precise contrast — paired with essential smart features and performance up to 120 Hz for smooth everyday viewing. Together, these three models reflect Samsung's overall strategy for 2026: delivering a refined, intelligent OLED experience across multiple segments without compromising the fundamental qualities of OLED image reproduction.

Vision AI Companion: From Screen to Intelligent Assistant
The most profound transformation of 2026 is not purely visual — it is behavioral. Vision AI Companion is Samsung's new integrated AI interface that replaces menu navigation with natural conversation. It enables, among other things:
- Natural, conversational content discovery across apps and services
- Personalized recommendations for each household member
- Real-time contextual information through features like "Now Brief"
- On-screen identification of objects, places, and people in what you're watching
- Live sports overlays with statistics and predictions
Rather than navigating through menus, users interact with the TV as they would with a digital assistant, enabling smoother and more responsive navigation.
Neo QLED and Mini LED 2026
While Micro RGB technology defines the top of the lineup, Samsung remains equally committed to broadening access to high-performance technology with its evolved Neo QLED and Mini LED ranges. The launch of the Mini LED M Series is a decisive step.

Frequently Asked Questions — Samsung 2026 TVs
Does Micro RGB offer better performance than OLED?
The short answer: it depends. Micro RGB: Microscopic RGB backlighting with local color and brightness dimming. Key strengths: high peak brightness, 100% BT.2020 color gamut coverage, no risk of image retention (burn-in), ideal in bright environments. OLED — Self-emissive pixels that switch off individually. Key strengths: absolute blacks, infinite contrast, very wide viewing angles, excellent responsiveness, ideal in controlled environments (home theater). Micro RGB surpasses OLED in brightness and certified color rendering. OLED retains the advantage in pure contrast and deep blacks.
Is Micro RGB subject to screen burn-in like OLED?
No. Unlike OLED, which uses organic materials, Micro RGB uses inorganic LEDs (red, green, and blue) that generate their own light. This technology offers exceptional longevity and a natural resistance to burn-in, while surpassing OLED in brightness.
Why choose a Neo QLED TV over an OLED model in 2026?
Although OLED offers infinite contrast, Neo QLED (like the QN80H) can be a better choice for very bright rooms or environments with large windows. Its ability to produce brilliant brightness and refresh rates of up to 288 Hz also makes it a preferred option for competitive PC gamers. That said, the flagship QD-OLED S95H greatly closes the brightness gap and features an anti-glare screen that makes it the ideal choice for those seeking the pinnacle of performance.
How long will my Samsung 2026 TV stay technologically current?
With the Tizen OS Reborn program, Samsung now guarantees up to 7 years of free OS updates for its 2026 models (including OLED, Neo QLED, and The Frame ranges). You will benefit from new apps, security patches, and the latest One UI interface features through 2033, ensuring the longevity of your TV's features and the platforms it supports.
What does Vision AI Companion concretely change day to day?
More than just a voice command, Vision AI Companion acts as a contextual assistant. It can identify objects or locations in the film you're watching, suggest recipes based on a cooking show, or even answer complex questions about live sports (statistics, predictions). In 2026, the interface becomes conversational and visual: you speak to your TV naturally, without having to navigate through complex menus.
How does the matte coating on the 2026 models work?
The new surface treatment disperses light in a multidirectional manner. Unlike older matte screens that could appear "milky," the 2026 version preserves the depth of blacks and the vibrancy of colors, while eliminating reflections from lamps or windows.
What is the "FloatLayer" design on the new OLED lineup?
The FloatLayer design uses a redesigned stand and chassis that virtually hides the base behind the screen. The visual effect gives the impression that the panel is literally floating in front of your wall. It is an architectural integration that transforms the TV into a piece of minimalist design.
What is the main difference between the Samsung Frame and Frame Pro in 2026?
The Frame Pro (LS03HW), equipped with a Neo QLED (Mini LED) panel, remains the ultimate model for those who want to enjoy the features of the Frame TV without compromising on performance levels. It also comes with a wireless One Connect box. The standard Frame (LS03HE), while still good in QLED image quality, simplifies its installation by integrating its connections directly into the chassis, eliminating the external box for an even cleaner wall mount.
Does the 2026 Frame model (LS03HE) still have the One Connect box?
Samsung made a strategic choice: the standard Frame (LS03HE) now integrates its connections directly at the back to simplify installation without an external box. For those who prefer to route the connectivity via a single transparent cable, you now need to turn to the Frame Pro (LS03HW).
