Last Edited: 10/06/2026

Choosing a TV isn't just about the specs on a box. You want something that fits your space, suits your habits, and handles whatever you throw at it. Streaming on a Tuesday night? Sorted. The footy with mates on Saturday? No dramas. In this Samsung TV review for 2026, we run through the range so you know exactly what you're getting.

Introduction to Samsung TVs

Samsung's been leading the TV pack for years now and the 2026 range keeps that streak going. You've got high-end performance where it counts, but they haven't forgotten about everyday practicality either. From their flagship OLEDs and Neo QLEDs to the very stylish Frame and Frame Pro TVs, there's something for every room and every budget.

Expect Mini LED backlighting that brings the brightness, Quantum Dot colour that makes everything pop, and AI-powered upscaling that sharpens the details. It all runs on Samsung's updated One UI Tizen OS with Smart Hub, giving you quick, smooth access to streaming services like Netflix, Disney+, Binge, and plenty more. You also get Gaming Hub for cloud gaming and Samsung TV Plus for free-to-air streaming without any extra hardware.

New for 2026, Samsung's Vision AI Companion platform is front and centre across the whole lineup. It brings smarter, more conversational features to your TV experience including Bixby voice control, Microsoft Copilot, and Perplexity integration.

Samsung TV Technology Explained

Samsung's 2026 Neo QLED models push Mini LED tech even further. The QN80H and QN70H use Quantum Mini LEDs for more precise backlighting, delivering seriously bright highlights, deep contrast, and excellent HDR performance. Perfect if your lounge room lets in a bit too much afternoon sun.

Brand new for 2026 is Samsung's Micro RGB lineup, the R95H and R85H, which uses RGB Mini LED backlighting for extraordinary colour accuracy and targets 100% Rec.2020 colour coverage. It's a genuine step up from Neo QLED and a real alternative to OLED for bright-room performance.

The OLED range has been upgraded across the board too. The S95H is up to 35% brighter than last year's model, pushing close to 3,000 nits peak brightness. Glare Free technology now extends across both the S95H and S90H. All three OLED models, the S95H, S90H, and S85H, support Motion Xcelerator 165Hz, making them the best Samsung TVs ever built for gaming. VRR, ultra-low input lag, NVIDIA G-SYNC, and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro are all on board.

AI features like Vision AI Companion, AI Customisation Mode, and AI Sound Controller Pro work behind the scenes to tailor the picture and audio scene by scene. There's even an AI Soccer Mode that optimises picture and sound in real time for live sport, which is handy for those big match days. Samsung also promises up to 7 years of software updates through One UI Tizen OS.

Samsung 2026 Range Breakdown

Samsung QN80H Neo QLED 4K

The QN80H sits at the heart of Samsung's 2026 Neo QLED range. Quantum Mini LEDs combine with Quantum Dot technology for brilliant brightness and precise local dimming. Four HDMI 2.1 ports and Motion Xcelerator 144Hz make it a serious performer for both sport and gaming. AI Customisation Mode automatically detects what you're watching, whether that's movies, sport, or shows, and optimises the picture accordingly.

Best for: Bright living areas where you want excellent 4K performance without stepping all the way up to OLED.

You'll love: The vivid HDR picture, smart AI enhancements, and strong gaming credentials.

Shop the QN80H Range 50” - 100” 

Samsung R85H Micro RGB

The R85H is part of Samsung's brand new Micro RGB range for 2026 and it's a serious piece of kit. RGB Mini LED backlighting gives it colour accuracy that goes well beyond what standard Neo QLED can do, targeting close to 100% Rec.2020 colour coverage. If you've always wanted OLED-level picture quality but prefer the brightness and longevity of an LED panel, this is the one to look at. Deep contrast, stunning colour, and all the AI picture smarts Samsung has packed into the 2026 range.

Best for: Colour-conscious buyers and bright room setups where you want the best LED picture quality without going OLED. 

You'll love: Extraordinary colour accuracy, impressive brightness, and a genuine step up from Neo QLED at a price below OLED.

Shop the R85H Micro RGB Range 55” - 100”

Samsung M70H Mini LED

If the Neo QLED is still a stretch, the M70H gets you into Mini LED territory for even less. You're still getting the core Mini LED benefits over a standard LED TV, better contrast, more precise backlighting, and solid brightness, just with a few of the higher-end features dialled back. For a bedroom, study, or anyone after a reliable everyday TV with a genuine picture quality upgrade, it's a smart buy.

Best for: Secondary rooms or budget-conscious shoppers who still want the Mini LED advantage. 

You'll love: Real Mini LED performance at the most accessible price in the Samsung 2026 lineup.

Shop the M70H Range 43” - 85"

Samsung Frame Pro (LS03HW) and The Frame (LS03HA)

The Frame lineup has had a proper refresh for 2026. The Frame Pro now comes in a new 55-inch size alongside the 65, 75, and 85-inch options, and uses a Neo QLED 4K panel for noticeably better picture quality than the standard Frame. The Wireless One Connect Box lets you place all your connected devices up to 30 feet away from the TV, which is brilliant for a clean, cable-free install.

The standard Frame uses a QLED display and comes in sizes from 43 all the way up to 98 inches, yes 98 inches, for the first time. It includes a Slim Fit Wall Mount for a flush-to-wall finish. Both models feature Glare Free technology, Art Mode with access to 5,000 or more artworks, customisable bezels, and Motion Xcelerator 144Hz.

Best for: Design-led spaces, open-plan homes, and anyone who wants their TV to disappear into the décor.

You'll love: Gallery-quality art display, stunning flush installation, and a proper smart TV underneath the picture frame look.

Samsung S85H OLED 4K

If you've been thinking about making the jump to OLED but the price has always put you off, the S85H is the one to look at. It's the most affordable Samsung OLED ever, starting at the 48-inch size, and it still gives you everything that makes OLED worth having. Perfect black levels, rich QD-OLED colour, wide viewing angles, and Motion Xcelerator 165Hz for smooth gaming. The S85H doesn't get the Glare Free coating that the S90H and S95H have, so it suits darker or more controlled rooms better, but the picture quality is genuinely impressive for the price.

Best for: Anyone ready to step up to OLED without paying flagship prices, and gamers who want a smaller screen size done properly.

You'll love: That OLED picture quality at the most accessible price Samsung has ever offered, plus 165Hz gaming built in.

Samsung S90H OLED 4K

The S90H is the sweet spot in Samsung's 2026 OLED range. It combines QD-OLED picture quality, think perfect black levels, rich Quantum Dot colour, and wide viewing angles, with Glare Free technology that's new to this model in 2026. That makes it a genuinely capable choice for bright Australian living rooms. Motion Xcelerator 165Hz, VRR, and HDMI 2.1 gaming support make it just as strong a pick for gaming as it is for movies.

Best for: Bright living rooms, premium movie watching, and next-gen gaming setups.

You'll love: Stunning contrast, glare-free OLED performance, and silky-smooth 165Hz gaming.

Samsung S95H OLED 4K (Flagship)

The S95H is the best TV Samsung has ever made. It's up to 35% brighter than last year's S95F, with OLED HDR Pro picture technology pushing close to 3,000 nits peak brightness. The new FloatLayer Design gives it a flush-to-wall, gallery-like appearance that looks beautiful in any room even when you're not watching. It also supports Samsung Art Store, so it doubles as an art display like The Frame. VDE-verified Real Black and Real Color certifications, Glare Free coating, Motion Xcelerator 165Hz, and the full gaming suite round out what is genuinely a flagship product.

Best for: Premium cinematic viewing, audiophiles, and design-conscious buyers who want the absolute best.

You'll love: Record-breaking brightness for an OLED, stunning design, perfect blacks, and the most immersive picture quality Samsung has ever produced.
