Samsung switched things up this year for CES 2026, foregoing the Las Vegas Convention Center show floor to exhibit in a ballroom at the Wynn Las Vegas instead. We were able to get a look before the show officially opens. The expansive exhibit centers around a “Companion to AI living” vision and how AI touches on every facet of life and thus every product Samsung is introducing this year.
When it comes to AV, the showstopper is the company’s massive 130-inch Micro RGB TV, though Samsung will offer Micro RGB TVs in a range of more accessible sizes this year as well. From additional TVs like OLED TVs and The Frame Pro along with audio innovations and the Freestyle+ AI Projector, there’s a lot to unpack.
They say go big or go home, and the Samsung Micro RGB TV is a stunning sight to behold that fits with that mantra. It employs a gallery-style aesthetic with a Timeless Frame that draws inspiration from grand architectural windows, so it looks like it’s floating. It employs advanced Micro RGB innovation, including the Micro RGB AI Engine Pro, Micro RGB Color Booster Pro, and Micro RGB HDR Pro. Like all the TVs in Samsung’s new line, it also leverages AI to further enhance the picture so you get vivid details, vibrant colours, and great black level performance.
The TV is certified by the Verband der Elektrotechnik (VDE) for delivering precise Micro RGB colour reproduction. Thanks to Micro RGB Precision Color 100, you get 100% of the BT.2020 wide colour gamut. Reflections are minimized as well using Samsung’s Glare Free technology. Audio, meanwhile, includes support for HDR10+ Advanced and Eclipsa Audio.
Samsung Micro RGB for the masses
If the 130-inch is too big for your home, Samsung has plenty more models in its Micro RGB line, ranging from 55 inches all the way up to a 115 incher. Using Micro RGB technology, there are separate red, green, and blue LEDs that emit light, so you get precise control and incredible colour accuracy. With 4K AI Upscaling Pro and AI Motion Enhancer, lower-resolution content looks great as well while gaming is smooth and responsive.
Further enhancing the picture quality in these TVs is the Micro RGB AI Engine Pro and next-generation AI chipset. This is complemented by Micro RGB Color Booster Pro and Micro RGB HDR Pro, all ensuring that you get vivid colours and accurate colour reproduction. These TVs feature the same upgraded Vision AI Companion as the 130-inch model. For audio, there’s Dolby Atmos and Q-Symphony for a deeper soundstage when connecting the display to compatible Samsung speakers. Q-Symphony, it should be noted, is now also compatible with Harman Kardan and JBL speakers.
Overall, micro RGB represents the latest wave in TV technology, and Samsung’s innovations are expectedly brilliant with colours that pop. For the best possible viewing experience and black level performance, you’ll still want to stick with OLED. But Micro RGB is the next level up in LED TV that is worth keeping an eye on.
OLED S95H is paper thin
Speaking of OLED, Samsung is showcasing its ultra-slim S95H flagship TV that has a refined bezel. It sits flush to the wall with no gap so you really get an art gallery feel in the home once it’s mounted. A design-focused piece, improved audio is built in around the bezel to allow for a totally clean look for those who don’t want to have to add a soundbar.
Notably, the OLED S95H is the first Samsung OLED TV to get access to the Art Store. Burn-in is a common issue with OLED TVs. But Samsung has taken preventative measures to ensure you won’t experience any image retention or burn-in when you’re displaying artwork for long periods of time on this display.
Freestyle+ is a portable projector you can use anywhere
For on-the-go video, the next generation of Samsung’s Freestyle portable projector is the Freestyle+. It boasts exciting upgrades that make it the perfect projector to take with you virtually anywhere. Along with improved brightness and new entertainment features via the built-in Tizen OS and Samsung Gaming Hub, you also get smarter AI capabilities.
The most impressive is called AI OptiScreen, which automatically adjusts the picture to different spaces and surfaces. You can display an image in the corner of an angled wall, the ceiling, even overtop uneven curtains, and it will auto correct and adjust to look as close as possible to a square image. It works well based on the demos I saw, allowing you to utilize compact spaces where you don’t necessarily have a large, free open wall or white sheet to use. You might get some distortion, but it’s a worthwhile compromise for kids watching cartoons, for example, or even productivity on a bigger screen.
Move or rotate the projector and real-time focus will continuously adjust so you always get a clear and stable image with no blurring or noise. Wall Calibration can even analyze the colour or pattern of a non-white wall or surface and help reduce visual distractions. It, too, has Vision AI Companion and Bixby for voice interaction.
Compact and lightweight, while Freestyle+ requires power to work, you can connect an external battery pack to use it on the go, like outside or while camping. It boasts twice the brightness of the first-gen model at 430 ISO lumens and employs a 180° rotating design so you can place it at any angle. Yes, this even includes projecting onto the ceiling. Audio comes from the built-in 360° speaker that works with Q-Symphony for a more immersive experience with external compatible speakers.
Samsung Vision AI Companion gets an upgrade
Available across all the new TVs as well as the Freestyle+, Samsung Vision AI Companion has been upgraded with new features and better accessibility. Through a single button on the new remote, you can call up your own personalized hub. This includes contents, details about actors in a show, for example, and integrated Copilot. There’s also Perplexity in the U.S. though it isn’t in Canada at this time. There’s a smarter version of the Bixby assistant as well.
Use feature like auto translate to get subtitles in content you’re watching from Samsung TV Plus. A Soccer Mode feature comes in either a standard or Pro version. The latter can detect there’s a soccer ball on screen and makes the colours pop more, enhancing the picture for the big game. It also optimizes sound quality. A new audio feature may be added that helps turn down the volume for commentators, for example, if you don’t speak the language, or want to reduce the volume of the crowd.
Use Samsung’s enhanced Vision AI Companion to speak to the TV to ask questions, get recommendations, and more, all using natural language conversations.
Movingstyle goes with you in the home
As the latest addition in what appears to be a growing category, the Movingstyle launched in December 2025. It’s a 27-inch 16:9 touchscreen (120Hz) that comes on a movable stand. You can adjust its height and rotate it in portrait or landscape mode. You can also remove it from the base and take it on the go to position it on the kitchen counter to watch a recipe video, for example, using the built-in kickstand. It runs on a three-hour battery or keep it plugged in. It comes with the Tizen OS built-in, so you can access smart TV, websites, video calling, drawing apps, and more.
Music Frame gets some friends
The clever Music Frame is back this year, a square frame you can hang on the wall disguised as art that also doubles as a wireless speaker. It’s being joined by some new lifestyle audio products this year. The Studio 5 will come in white and black and employs a unique aesthetic that hails from the same designer who made the Serif TVs. It’s a Wi-Fi speaker with a driver and pair of tweeters. It’s compatible with Q-Symphony as well.
For a more traditional look, there’s the Studio 7 Wi-Fi speakers that employ a boxy design, perfect for a shelf or tabletop. Also available in black and white, it’s a 3.1 system with a built-in subwoofer, driver, side-firing speakers, and up-firing speaker. These speakers also have a Spotify Direct button so you can auto-play playlists without needing your mobile device.
What’s in the future?
Samsung also showed some future concepts, including its 140-inch micro LED home cinema screen that uses self-emitting RGB LED chips. What’s especially interesting this year is how Samsung is showing the ability to display images on the sides of the panel, not just the front. It’s like a canvas wrapping around the entire TV. You could use this to extend the image, but also to display information like stock tickers, the time, weather, and more. You could even create a faux frame look on the side screens or add a lighting system for ambiance.
