Looking for one of the best TVs? Then chances are Samsung’s on your short list. And rightly so. The Korean tech giant knows a thing or two about top notch screens, after all.

This year is no different, with its biggest TV shake-up in years. There’s new flagship display tech, for a start, joined by refreshed OLED, Neo QLED, Mini LED and lifestyle ranges.

There’s quite a bit to cover, so without any further ado, let’s dive into all the 2026 Samsung TVs worth knowing about. Oh, and just so we’re covering all the bases, feel free to check out Sony’s 2026 TV lineup and LG’s 2026 TV lineup as well.

The Samsung tech headlines for 2026

Before we dive into the 2026 Samsung TV range, here are the headlines across the board:

Micro RGB

Micro RGB is stealing the headlines this year – a new premium LCD technology that sits above Neo QLED in the company's range.The backlight is formed from individually controlled red, green and blue LEDs, which Samsung says can deliver more accurate colours and finer light control

Game on

Samsung is continuing to push gaming performance across its TV range. The flagship models now support refresh rates of up to 165Hz, while features such as VRR, ALLM, FreeSync Premium Pro and Samsung Gaming Hub are available across much of the lineup.

Format wars

Samsung's 2026 TVs introduce support for HDR10+ Advanced and Eclipsa Audio while, unsurprisingly, continuing to omit Dolby Vision. Whether either format becomes a meaningful selling point will depend on wider industry support, but both represent Samsung's latest attempt to strengthen its own ecosystem rather than adopt Dolby's tech.


Samsung 2026 TV range breakdown

Samsung makes a lot of TV’s. Below, we’ve covered the latest H-series models, though you’ll still find some older F-series TVs available at some retailers.

Samsung R95H

The R95H introduces Samsung's new Micro RGB technology and sits at the top of the company's 4K LCD range for 2026. Rather than using a conventional LED backlight, it employs micro-sized red, green and blue LEDs, which Samsung says deliver its widest-ever TV colour spectrum. The new Micro RGB AI Engine Pro is designed to optimise colour, depth and motion in real time, while Micro RGB Precision Colour aims to make the most of the panel's expanded colour capabilities.

On paper, it promises to produce a vibrant, richly coloured picture with impressive brightness, though we'll reserve our final judgement until we've been able to test it in our dedicated viewing rooms.

Elsewhere, the R95H receives Samsung's premium feature set, including Wireless One Connect for a cleaner installation, Motion Xcelerator 165Hz for PC gaming, and Samsung Gaming Hub for cloud gaming services.

Samsung R95H specs

  • Sizes: 65-inch, 75-inch, 85-inch
  • Display type: Micro RGB
  • Resolution: 4K
  • Processor: Micro RGB AI Engine Pro
  • Sound: 4.2.2-channel (70W)
  • HDMI 2.1: Yes
  • Gaming features: Up to 4K/165Hz, VRR, ALLM, FreeSync Premium Pro, G-SYNC Compatible, HGiG, Samsung Gaming Hub

  • 75-inch: $4500 / £4199 / AU$9199
  • 85-inch: $6500 / £6099 / AU$11,499

Samsung R85H

The R85H uses the same new Micro RGB display technology as the flagship R95H, but trims back some of the supporting hardware, keeping many of the same headline tech, including Micro RGB HDR+, Motion Xcelerator 144Hz, Dolby Atmos, Samsung Gaming Hub and AI Gaming Optimiser.

It also supports Samsung's Vision AI Companion platform and ships with One UI Tizen, which Samsung says will receive up to seven years of software updates. The biggest differences compared with the R95H lie in the supporting hardware rather than the core display technology.

The R85H uses Samsung's standard Micro RGB AI Engine instead of the Pro version, steps down to a 144Hz refresh rate, while skipping premium features like Wireless One Connect. Even so, it looks set to be the most accessible way to experience Samsung's new Micro RGB platform.

Samsung R85H specs

  • Sizes: 55-inch, 65-inch, 75-inch, 85-inch, 100-inch
  • Display type: Micro RGB

Samsung S99H (UK) / S95H (US & Australia)

Samsung's flagship OLED for 2026 introduces an all-new FloatLayer design inspired by The Frame, giving the TV the appearance of a floating display when wall-mounted. It also adds Wireless One Connect, allowing source devices to connect to a separate box that transmits audio and video wirelessly to the TV for a cleaner installation.

Under the striking new design sits Samsung's latest OLED technology, powered by the NQ4 AI Gen3 Processor and capable of refresh rates up to 165Hz. In fact, we've already reviewed the S99H and awarded it five stars, praising its exceptional brightness, refined picture processing, improved built-in sound, and distinctive design. It currently stands as the best TV Samsung has produced to date, though Dolby Vision remains unsurprisingly absent.

Samsung S95H (UK & Europe)

Just to confuse things a little bit more, Samsung is selling a TV called the S95H in the UK and Europe. We've quizzed the Korean AV titan on how it differs from the S99H, and it said that the S99H and S95H are essentially the same televisions, just with different designs.

The S95H here in the UK and Europe sports a One Connect box, and looks almost identical to last year's S95F, meaning customers can choose which design they prefer without compromising on performance. Interestingly, Samsung also removes the 83-inch size option, and swaps it for a compact 48-inch model.

Samsung S95H specs

  • Sizes: 48-inch, 55-inch, 65-inch, 77-inch
  • Display type: OLED
  • Resolution: 4K
  • Processor: NQ4 AI Gen3 Processor
  • Sound: 4.2.2-channel (70W)
  • HDMI 2.1: Yes (x4)
  • Gaming features: Up to 4K/165Hz, VRR, ALLM, FreeSync Premium Pro, G-SYNC Compatible, HGiG, Samsung Gaming Hub

Samsung S95H price

  • 48-inch: £1699
  • 55-inch: £2299
  • 65-inch: £3099
  • 77-inch: £4199

Samsung S90H

The S90H sits below Samsung's flagship OLED models but keeps many of the company’s headline tech. That includes the NQ4 AI Gen3 Processor with Glare Free technology, OLED HDR+ and Samsung's LaserSlim design, making it one of the company's most fully featured 4K OLED TVs outside the flagship range.

Gaming remains a major focus, too. The S90H supports refresh rates of up to 165Hz for compatible PC games, alongside VRR, ALLM, NVIDIA G-SYNC, AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and Samsung Gaming Hub. AI Gaming Optimiser is also onboard, automatically adjusting picture settings based on the genre you're playing.

Either way, the S90H looks set to continue Samsung's tradition of offering much of its flagship OLED performance at a more attainable price point.

Samsung S90H specs:

  • Sizes: 42-inch, 48-inch, 55-inch, 65-inch, 77-inch, 83-inch
  • Display type: OLED (panel type varies by size)
  • Resolution: 4K
  • Processor: NQ4 AI Gen3 Processor
  • Sound: 2.1-channel (40W)
  • HDMI 2.1: Yes (x4)
  • Gaming features: Up to 4K/165Hz, VRR, ALLM, FreeSync Premium Pro, G-SYNC Compatible, HGiG, Samsung Gaming Hub

Samsung S90H price:

  • 42-inch: $1400 / £1299 / AU$2299
  • 48-inch: $1600 / £1399 / AU$2759
  • 55-inch: $2000 / £1699 / AU$3449
  • 65-inch: $2700 / £2299 / AU$4599
  • 77-inch: $3700 / £3499 / AU$6324
  • 83-inch: $5300 / £4799 / AU$8624

Samsung S85H

The S85H is Samsung's entry point into its 2026 OLED range, bringing many of the benefits of OLED technology to a more affordable price. While it steps down from the S90H in a few key areas, it still combines the NQ4 AI Gen2 Processor with OLED HDR, Samsung's LaserSlim design and the latest version of One UI Tizen.

It also supports refresh rates of up to 120Hz, alongside VRR, ALLM, FreeSync Premium and Samsung Gaming Hub. Vision AI features are also included, although some advanced picture and gaming functions remain reserved for Samsung's more expensive OLEDs.

As with previous generations, the S85H looks set to be Samsung's value-focused OLED. It may lack some of the flagship range's premium features, but on paper it retains the core ingredients that have made Samsung's more affordable OLEDs such strong performers in recent years. We'll reserve our final judgement until we've put it through our full testing process.

Samsung S85H specs:

  • Sizes: 48-inch, 55-inch, 65-inch, 77-inch, 83-inch
  • Display type: OLED
  • Resolution: 4K
  • Processor: NQ4 AI Gen2 Processor
  • Sound: 2.0-channel (20W)
  • HDMI 2.1: Yes (x4)
  • Gaming features: 4K/120Hz, VRR, ALLM

Samsung S85H price:

  • 48-inch: $1200 / £1299 / AU$2299
  • 55-inch: $1500 / £1499 / AU$2874
  • 65-inch: $2000 / £2299 / AU$3794

  • 83-inch: $4500 / £3599 / AU$7474

Samsung QN990H

The QN990H remains Samsung's flagship 8K Neo QLED for 2026. While Micro RGB has now taken over as the company's premium LCD technology, the QN990H continues to lead its 8K range, combining an 8K Mini LED panel with Samsung's latest NQ8 AI Gen3 Processor and Quantum Matrix Technology Pro. Samsung is once again betting on AI-powered upscaling to make the most of today's 4K and HD content while native 8K material remains scarce.

As you'd expect from Samsung's flagship 8K TV, the QN990H also receives the company's most advanced feature set. That includes Glare Free technology, Wireless One Connect for a cleaner installation, Motion Xcelerator 240Hz, AI Gaming Optimiser and Samsung Gaming Hub.

Whether 8K is worth paying a premium for is still open to debate, but if you're determined to own Samsung's most capable Neo QLED TV, the QN990H remains the flagship choice.

Samsung QN990H specs:

  • Sizes: 85-inch
  • Display type: Neo QLED Mini LED
  • Resolution: 8K
  • Processor: NQ8 AI Gen3 Processor
  • Sound: 6.2.4-channel (90W)
  • HDMI 2.1: Yes
  • Gaming features: 8K/120Hz, 4K/240Hz, VRR, ALLM, FreeSync Premium Pro, HGiG, Samsung Gaming Hub, AI Gaming Optimiser

Samsung QN990H price:

  • 85-inch: $8500 / £N/A / AU$N/A

Samsung QN80H

For many buyers, the QN80H is likely to be the most interesting Neo QLED in Samsung's 2026 range. Sitting below the new Micro RGB models, it retains Quantum Mini LED backlighting and the company's NQ4 AI Gen2 Processor, making it a more conventional – and likely more affordable – premium LCD option.

It doesn't have the headline-grabbing new display technology of the R95H or R85H, but it doesn't feel stripped back either. Samsung has carried over much of what makes its higher-end TVs appealing, including a Mini LED backlight, support for refresh rates of up to 144Hz, Samsung Gaming Hub and AI Gaming Optimiser.

If Micro RGB proves too expensive, the QN80H could end up being the TV many people actually buy. On paper, it looks to offer the strongest balance of performance, features and value in Samsung's premium LCD lineup, though we'll need to review it before drawing any firm conclusions.

Samsung QN80H specs:

  • Sizes: 50-inch, 55-inch, 65-inch, 75-inch, 85-inch, 100-inch
  • Display type: Neo QLED Mini LED
  • Resolution: 4K
  • Processor: NQ4 AI Gen2 Processor
  • Sound: 2.2-channel (40W)
  • HDMI 2.1: Yes (x4)
  • Gaming features: Up to 4K/144Hz, VRR, ALLM, FreeSync Premium Pro, Samsung Gaming Hub

Samsung QN80H price:

  • 50-inch: $N/A / £999 / AU$1839
  • 55-inch: $1300 / £999 / AU$2069
  • 65-inch: $1600 / £1299 / AU$2529
  • 75-inch: $2000 / £1599 / AU$3449
  • 85-inch: $3000 / £2299 / AU$4599
  • 100-inch: $5500 / £2999 / AU$8049

Samsung QN70H

The QN70H continues Samsung's Neo QLED lineup with Quantum Mini LED backlighting and the NQ4 AI Gen2 Processor. While it loses some of the higher-end features found on the QN80H and above, it still benefits from the improved contrast and backlight control that Mini LED technology can offer over a conventional LED TV.

Samsung's latest Tizen platform is onboard, alongside Gaming Hub and support for a range of cloud gaming services, making it a well-equipped option for buyers who don't need every flagship extra.

Samsung QN70H specs:

  • Sizes: 43-inch, 50-inch, 55-inch, 65-inch, 75-inch, 85-inch
  • Display type: Neo QLED Mini LED
  • Resolution: 4K
  • Processor: NQ4 AI Processor
  • Sound: 2.0-channel (20W)
  • HDMI 2.1: No
  • Gaming features: VRR, ALLM, HGiG, Samsung Gaming Hub

Samsung QN70H price:

  • 43-inch: $600 / £599 / AU$N/A
  • 50-inch: $750 / £799 / AU$1494
  • 55-inch: $900 / £899 / AU$N/A
  • 65-inch: $1200 / £1099 / AU$N/A
  • 75-inch: $1500 / £1699 / AU$N/A
  • 85-inch: $2300 / £2299 / AU$N/A

Samsung M80H

New for 2026, the M80H introduces Samsung's M-series Mini LED range. Rather than replacing Neo QLED, it creates a new tier below it, combining Mini LED backlighting with the NQ4 AI Gen2 Processor and the latest version of Tizen.

It doesn't match the loftier specs of Samsung's premium Mini LED sets, but it does expand the company's Mini LED portfolio into a more affordable part of the market while retaining features like the Gaming Hub.

Samsung M80H specs:

  • Sizes: 55-inch, 65-inch, 75-inch, 85-inch
  • Display type: Mini LED
  • Resolution: 4K
  • Processor: NQ4 AI Gen2 Processor
  • Sound: 2.0-channel (20W)
  • HDMI 2.1: Yes
  • Gaming features: Up to 4K/144Hz, VRR, ALLM, Samsung Gaming Hub

Samsung M80H price:

  • 55-inch: $650 / £799 / AU$XX
  • 65-inch: $800 / £999 / AU$N/A
  • 75-inch: $1200 / £1399 / AU$N/A
  • 85-inch: $1800 / £1899 / AU$N/A

Samsung M70H

Like the M80H, the M70H forms part of Samsung's new Mini LED family, pairing Mini LED backlighting with the company's smart TV platform while stepping down further in specs. It rounds out Samsung's expanded Mini LED lineup and gives buyers another option below the Neo QLED range.

Samsung M70H specs:

  • Sizes: 43-inch, 50-inch, 55-inch, 65-inch, 75-inch
  • Display type: Mini LED
  • Resolution: 4K
  • Processor: Mini LED Processor 4K
  • Sound: 2.0-channel (20W)
  • HDMI 2.1: No
  • Gaming features: VRR, ALLM, Samsung Gaming Hub

Samsung M70H price:

  • 43-inch: $350 / £429 / AU$861
  • 50-inch: $380 / £529 / AU$1034
  • 55-inch: $400 / £649 / AU$1149
  • 65-inch: $530 / £999 / AU$1494
  • 75-inch: $730 / £799 / AU$1954
  • 85-inch: $1200 / £1099 / AU$2874

Samsung The Frame Pro

Samsung The Frame Series 2026

Samsung has given its lifestyle TV its biggest hardware upgrade in years. The Frame Pro combines the familiar picture frame-inspired design with Quantum Mini LED backlighting, bringing display technology previously reserved for the company's premium TVs into the Frame range. It also adds Wireless One Connect to simplify wall mounting, while Art Mode, the Art Store and interchangeable bezels remain at the heart of the experience.

Samsung The Frame Pro specs:

  • Sizes: 55-inch, 65-inch, 75-inch, 85-inch
  • Display type: Neo QLED Mini LED
  • Resolution: 4K
  • Processor: NQ4 AI Gen3 Processor
  • Sound: 2.2.2-channel (40W)
  • HDMI 2.1: Yes
  • Gaming features: Up to 4K/144Hz, VRR, ALLM, FreeSync Premium Pro, Samsung Gaming Hub

Samsung The Frame Pro price:

  • 55-inch: $1500 / £1699 / AU$2874
  • 65-inch: $2000 / £2099 / AU$3679
  • 75-inch: $2800 / £2999 / AU$4599
  • 85-inch: $4000 / £3999 / AU$5749

Samsung The Frame

The standard Frame returns for another year, continuing to focus on design rather than outright picture performance. It keeps the familiar Art Mode experience, customisable bezels and matte display that have helped distinguish it from conventional TVs, while also benefiting from Samsung's latest smart TV platform. Buyers looking for improved display hardware will need to step up to The Frame Pro, but the standard model remains the more affordable way into Samsung's lifestyle range.

Samsung The Frame specs:

  • Sizes: 43-inch, 55-inch, 65-inch, 75-inch, 85-inch, 98-inch
  • Display type: QLED
  • Resolution: 4K
  • Processor: NQ4 AI Gen2 Processor
  • Sound: 2.0-channel (20W)
  • HDMI 2.1: Yes (x4)
  • Gaming features: Up to 4K/144Hz, VRR, ALLM, Samsung Gaming Hub

Samsung The Frame price:

  • 43-inch: $1200 / £999 / AU$1494
  • 55-inch: $1200 / £1499 / AU$2069
  • 65-inch: $1500 / £1899 / AU$2529
  • 75-inch: $2000 / £1899 / AU$3449
  • 85-inch: $3000 / £N/A / AU$4599
  • 98-inch: $4500 / £N/A / AU$8049
