Samsung has officially announced that Samsung reveals its AI TV lineup for 2026 in Australia, marking two decades of the company serving as the top-selling global TV brand. This new range focuses heavily on deep artificial intelligence integration across various tiers, ranging from ultra-premium Micro RGB displays to accessible Crystal UHD models. The rollout also introduces improved glare reduction and expanded Art TV options specifically tailored for Australian users.
To celebrate this launch, Samsung Australia is offering early adopters 5% off with the promo code "AI-SAMSUNG26" (available until 25/4).
Key Features of the Samsung 2026 AI TV Lineup
A central pillar of this year’s release is the Vision AI Companion (VAC), a suite of features designed to move the TV beyond a passive display into an interactive home hub. Backed by a commitment to seven years of One UI Tizen upgrades, Samsung is positioning these sets as long-term hardware investments.
The standout software addition for 2026 is the VAC itself. Unlike standard voice assistants, VAC utilises multiple Large Language Models (LLMs), including Microsoft Copilot and Perplexity, alongside an upgraded version of Bixby. This allows for more natural, contextual dialogue and helps handle communal requests, such as suggesting content based on group preferences.
Key AI-driven features included in the Samsung 2026 AI TV lineup include:
- AI Upscaling Pro: Real-time analysis to enhance low-resolution content.
- AI Soccer Mode Pro: Specifically optimises motion and stadium audio for live sports.
- AI Sound Controller Pro: Allows users to adjust individual layers of audio, such as separating dialogue from background music.
High-Performance Displays: Micro RGB and OLED Excellence
Samsung is pushing its proprietary Micro RGB technology into more mainstream sizes, ranging from 55 to 115 inches. These units use individually controlled red, green, and blue micro-LEDs to manage light and color at a granular level. The flagship R95H features a slim 12.9mm profile and includes "Wireless One Connect" compatibility to reduce cable clutter.
For those seeking high-end OLED performance, the S95H and S90H models now feature expanded Glare-Free technology. These sets are powered by the NQ4 AI Gen3 Processor, which utilises 128 AI neural networks to process imagery. Gamers will benefit from the "Ultimate Gaming Pack," which includes a 165Hz refresh rate and support for both AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and NVIDIA G-SYNC.
Lifestyle Displays and Audio Expansion
The new Frame Pro (LS03HW) continues to target users who prioritise aesthetics, but it now upgrades the hardware to a Neo QLED panel. It maintains its signature flush-to-wall design and provides access to over 5,000 artworks through the Art Store, now enhanced by personalised curation via VAC.
Other notable models in the Samsung 2026 AI TV lineup include:
- Neo QLED QN80H: A versatile mid-to-high-range option offering 4K upscaling and performance up to 144Hz.
- Mini LED M70H: Introduces "Pure Spectrum Colour" and motion acceleration up to 120Hz.
- Crystal UHD U8000H: An accessible entry-level option for the range.
Alongside these displays, Samsung announced the Music Studio Series, a new line of design-led Wi-Fi speakers. These arrive alongside refreshed Q-Series soundbars and Sound Towers, all designed to integrate with the TV’s AI Sound Controller for a unified home theater environment.
