Samsung unveils AI TV lineup for 2026

\n\n

Samsung has officially unveiled its 2026 TV lineup, marking two decades as the world’s best-selling television maker. The new models lean heavily into artificial intelligence (AI) across the range, from ultra-premium Micro RGB displays to more accessible Crystal UHD sets.

\n\n

Key features of the new lineup

\n

A major focus of this release is Vision AI Companion (VAC). This suite of features is designed to turn the television from a passive display into an interactive home hub. Samsung is also committing to seven years of One UI Tizen updates, positioning these sets as long-term investments. Other highlights include more Art TV options, ultra-large displays, and improved anti-reflection technology, which is especially important for Australians.

\n\n

The role of Vision AI Companion

\n

Vision AI Companion is the standout software addition for 2026. Unlike standard voice assistants, VAC uses multiple large language models (LLMs), including Microsoft Copilot and Perplexity, alongside an upgraded version of Bixby. The goal is to create a more natural, contextual conversation for Australian users. Instead of simply searching for titles, the AI is built to handle everyday requests — such as recommending what to watch based on group preferences or delivering visual answers to specific questions directly on screen.

\n\n

AI-driven features

\n

The 2026 TVs will include several AI-powered features, including:

\n

\n
• AI Upscaling Pro: Real-time analysis to improve low-resolution content.
\n
• AI Soccer Mode Pro: Optimizes motion and stadium sound for live sports.
\n
• AI Sound Controller Pro: Lets users adjust separate audio layers, such as isolating dialogue from background music.
