Samsung’s Neo QLED and mini-LED TVs for 2026: key particulars
The brand new Neo QLED fashions function ‘Quantum Mini LEDs’, with the higher-end QN80H that includes AI-based image and audio optimization, SDR to HDR upscaling and an AI Customization Mode that can detect what you are watching and robotically apply your preferences.
The QN80H additionally options Movement Xcelerator 144Hz help, and a function that may acknowledge scenes with plenty of background noise and increase dialog to make it clearer. It will probably additionally alter audio based mostly on the scale of your room, and there is Dolby Atmos audio with Object Monitoring Sound Lite for higher audio positioning from its built-in audio system.
There is not any point out of quantum dots within the new Mini LED TVs, the M80H and the M70H. Just like the QN80H, the Mini LEDs pack the NQ4 AI Gen2 processor and Movement Xcelerator 144Hz, and for PC players there’s DLG 240Hz, which means they will refresh at double the velocity in the event that they halve the decision on-screen.
All the new TVs include Samsung Imaginative and prescient AI Companion, AI Sound Controller and Bixby, and there is an AI Soccer Mode too. Dwell Translate has been expanded with 12 languages and the Generative Wallpaper function now works with voice prompts. And it is all in an up to date model of Samsung’s One UI Tizen, with seven years of OS updates.
We’re assuming that not less than a few of these TVs will use the identical sort of ‘edge mini-LED’ backlight that we noticed within the Samsung QN70F and Samsung The Body Professional in 2025. And sure, this tech is pushing the definition of mini-LED actually — it might effectively use smaller LEDs, however a key expectation of mini-LED is superb native dimming, and edge-lit TVs cannot actually ship on this division.
However we’re very curious to seek out out extra about them, to see what sort of colour depth Samsung can ship within the non-QLED fashions. Samsung says that with its ‘Pure Spectrum Shade’ tech, they will ship a billion colours, and that you may optionally allow an AI-based colour expander on the M70H referred to as ‘Shade Booster Professional’.
All of this leaves us with a whole lot of questions on how they will carry out relative to one another — we have requested Samsung for extra details about the actual mini-LED tech used, and we’ll replace if we hear extra.
Excluding the 100-inch M90H, all the brand new TVs can be found now within the US from Samsung, and rolling out to the standard retailers. The costs of every TV mannequin and measurement are:
