<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung Australia has today announced the launch of its full 2026 TV line-up, spanning premium <span><a href="https://www.samsung.com/au/tvs/micro-rgb-tv/?srsltid=AfmBOopnwWAPSM16WdO-ZWaW9Drdc8tjeKCeh-cJLxVVoiRv8QdgtNmh">Micro RGB</a></span>, <span><a href="https://www.samsung.com/au/tvs/oled-tv/s90h-55-inch-4k-smart-tv-qa55s90hawxxy/">OLED</a></span>, <span><a href="https://www.samsung.com/au/tvs/neo-qled-tv/">Neo QLED</a></span>, and Lifestyle TVs, as well as mainstream Mini LED and <span><a href="https://www.samsung.com/au/tvs/crystal-uhd-tv/">UHD</a></span> TVs. In its <span><a href="https://news.samsung.com/au/samsung-electronics-marks-20-consecutive-years-as-the-worlds-no-1-tv-brand">20th year as the world’s No. 1 TV brand</a></span><a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span>[1]</span></a>, Samsung is expanding AI-powered features across more models, making smarter picture, sound and personalised viewing experiences a reality for more Australians. Also in its <span><a href="https://news.samsung.com/au/samsung-electronics-named-no-1-in-global-soundbar-sales-for-12th-consecutive-year">12th year as the Global No.1 Soundbar brand</a></span>,<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span>[2]</span></a> Samsung has expanded its portfolio of design-led Wi-Fi speakers and soundbars, via an all-new <span><a href="https://www.samsung.com/au/audio-devices/wireless-speaker/ls70h-black-hw-ls70h-xy/?srsltid=AfmBOopbZIM81RDmIOysy--C-yDg2sRgs6MkNzf767mEwizFHofYA0FP">Music Studio Series</a></span>, the next generation of powerful <span><a href="https://www.samsung.com/au/audio-devices/soundbar/q990h-black-hw-q990h-xy/">Q-Series soundbars</a></span>, and refreshed Sound Tower models.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In 2026, Samsung TVs are not only designed to be sharper<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><span>[3]</span></a>, but smarter with <span><a href="https://www.samsung.com/au/tvs/vision-ai-tv/?srsltid=AfmBOoq04ieIDmDnkCYrRqaiHobf8q_5BJvjFbGz9uYtzx2wSqaSFOnx">Vision AI Companion</a></span> (VAC) features available across 4K-and-above TVs. The expansion brings AI-powered viewing to more categories, screen sizes and consumer passion points<a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4"><span>[4]</span></a> and reflects Samsung’s broader strategy to make AI a central part of the TV experience. Backed by 7 years of One UI Tizen upgrades and compatible with Endless Entertainment solutions including Samsung TV Plus, Samsung’s Vision AI Companion autonomously enhances home entertainment and simplifies interactions through natural conversations based on user preferences driving personalised experiences.<a href="#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5"><span>[5]</span></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Samsung’s 2026 AV range is our most diverse and accessible yet, marking a defining moment in how Australians experience entertainment at home,” said Simon Howe, Director – Visual Display, Samsung Australia.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“As we celebrate 20 years as the world’s No. 1 TV brand, we’re proud to introduce new innovations, from our breakthrough Micro RGB technology<a href="#_ftn6" name="_ftnref6"><span>[6]</span></a> to Vision AI-powered picture and sound solutions, once again setting a new benchmark for home entertainment. With these advancements, a new reality comes to light through lifelike visuals, precise colour, and by harnessing AI, providing deeply personalised experiences that will bring Australians closer to the content they love.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Mr Howe continued: “Whether it’s sport, gaming, film or everyday viewing, our expanded range of ultra-large, Glare-Free TVs are made for Australians, making every moment more immersive and real. Our new range of AI-powered TVs go beyond entertainment to deliver practical benefits in everyday life, helping Australians find what they want faster, enjoy content easily, and make the most of their TV time.”</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><u>Vision AI Companion Brings Smarter, More Immersive Viewing</u></strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Vision AI Companion (VAC) brings together Samsung’s broadest range of AI service platforms, including Bixby, Perplexity, and Microsoft Copilot, to make the TV experience more intelligent and personalised.<a href="#_ftn7" name="_ftnref7"><span>[7]</span></a> Designed to work alongside users as an entertainment companion, VAC can help guide what to watch, what to eat, and what to listen to, extending the role of the TV beyond viewing alone.<a href="#_ftn8" name="_ftnref8"><span>[8]</span></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Unlike AI designed for individual devices and users, Samsung Vision AI Companion is purpose-built for the communal TV screen<a name="_ftnref3"></a><a href="#_ftn9" name="_ftnref9"><span>[9]</span></a> using various LLMs, including <span><a href="https://news.samsung.com/us/samsung-brings-microsoft-copilot-2025-tvs-monitors-unlocking-smarter-on-screen-experiences/">Microsoft Copilot</a></span> and <span><a href="https://news.samsung.com/us/samsung-launches-first-ever-perplexity-ai-powered-tv-app-further-elevating-samsung-vision-ai-companion-experience/">Perplexity</a></span> to share visualised, intelligent responses adapted to Australian questions and requests<a href="#_ftn10" name="_ftnref10"><span>[10]</span></a>. An upgraded version of Bixby sits at the core of Vision AI Companion which enables more natural dialogue, deeper contextual understanding, and personalised responses.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung insights show that shared experiences with family around the TV is particularly important for Australians, with half of respondents claiming their TV brings their family closer together for quality time<a href="#_ftn11" name="_ftnref11"><span>[11]</span></a>. In fact, 45% of respondents say the TV enables them to spend more time together<a href="#_ftn12" name="_ftnref12"><span>[12]</span></a>, while 41% of respondents say the TV enables them to share passions and interests<a href="#_ftn13" name="_ftnref13"><span>[13]</span></a> with their families.</p>
<p>Samsung’s AI TV lineup also brings AI-enhanced entertainment features to movies, sports and gaming:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>AI Upscaling Pro<a href="#_ftn14" name="_ftnref14"><span>[14]</span></a>: uses AI to analyse and enhance low-resolution content in real time, delivering greater detail, depth and contrast, while Colour Booster Pro<a href="#_ftn15" name="_ftnref15"><span>[15]</span></a> analyses and categorises scenes to provide more vivid, lifelike colour.</li>
<li>AI Soccer Mode Pro<a href="#_ftn16" name="_ftnref16"><span>[16]</span></a>: analyses match scenes in real time to optimise picture and sound for smoother ball movement, vivid colour and more immersive stadium audio.</li>
<li>AI Sound Controller Pro<a href="#_ftn17" name="_ftnref17"><span>[17]</span></a>: analyses dialogue, background music and sound effects in real time, letting users adjust individual layers for a more immersive experience.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Vision AI Companion is available on Samsung’s entire 2026 TV range as well as being available on select 2025 models &#8211; Q7F or above.<a href="#_ftn18" name="_ftnref18"><span>[18]</span></a></p>

<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong><u>Micro RGB: Defining the Future of Premium Picture Quality </u></strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Micro RGB expands Samsung’s premium TV experience across a wider range of screen sizes, bringing highly precise colour, brightness and immersive AI-powered viewing to a large portion of Australian consumers. Available in the <span><a href="https://www.samsung.com/au/tvs/micro-rgb/r95h-4k-75-inch-smart-tv-mra75r95hawxxy/">R95H</a></span> and<span><a href="https://www.samsung.com/au/tvs/micro-rgb/r85h-4k-55-inch-smart-tv-mra55r85hawxxy/"> R85H</a></span> series in sizes from 55 to 115 inches<a href="#_ftn19" name="_ftnref19"><span>[19]</span></a>, Micro RGB is built on Samsung’s proprietary Micro RGB Technology, which uses individually controlled red, green and blue micro-sized LEDs<a href="#_ftn20" name="_ftnref20"><span>[20]</span></a> to deliver highly precise light control, richer detail and more natural colour.<a href="#_ftn21" name="_ftnref21"><span>[21]</span></a></p>
<p>Made for Australians’ bright homes, Samsung’s certified Glare Free technology<a href="#_ftn22" name="_ftnref22"><span>[22]</span></a> on Micro RGB R95 models minimise light reflection in bright environments, helping preserve a clear viewing experience across both long summer days and dark winter viewing sessions. With a near edge-to-edge Infinity Air Design display, the 12.9mm slim profile and Infinity Air stand<a href="#_ftn23" name="_ftnref23"><span>[23]</span></a> help make the Micro RGB R95 model look like it is floating in the air, while being Wireless One Connect ready<a href="#_ftn24" name="_ftnref24"><span>[24]</span></a> for a clutter-free finish.</p>
<p>Micro RGB also brings Vision AI Companion (VAC)<a href="#_ftn25" name="_ftnref25"><span>[25]</span></a> and other AI-optimised features to Samsung’s premium large-screen category, adding more intelligent and personalised viewing experiences. Micro RGB AI Engine Pro<a href="#_ftn26" name="_ftnref26"><span>[26]</span></a> helps fine-tune colour, motion and depth, so viewers can stay immersed in every scene. With Micro RGB Precision Colour 100<a href="#_ftn27" name="_ftnref27"><span>[27]</span></a>, colour expression appears fuller and more lifelike, with a ≥100% BT.2020 gamut ratio.</p>
<p>Micro RGB Colour Booster Pro<a href="#_ftn28" name="_ftnref28"><span>[28]</span></a> and Micro RGB HDR Pro<a href="#_ftn29" name="_ftnref29"><span>[29]</span></a> leverage Samsung’s AI technology to further refine picture quality by optimising colour and contrast scene by scene, helping deliver more vibrant visuals across a wide range of brightness levels.</p>

Certified Glare-Free technology &#8211; previously available only on the S95F model &#8211; now expands to both the S95H and the S90H, helping the display’s true blacks and rich colours stay clear and undisturbed, even in bright rooms<a href="#_ftn30" name="_ftnref30"><span>[30]</span></a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>On the flagship S95H, Samsung adds premium features designed to elevate both entertainment and art, and is Wireless One Connect ready for a clutter-free finish.<a href="#_ftn31" name="_ftnref31"><span>[31]</span></a> Pantone Validated ArtfulColor helps preserve the authenticity of original artwork with faithful colour and exceptional detail, while Art Store extends Samsung’s art experiences to OLED.

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The OLED S95H and S90H feature the NQ4 AI Gen3 Processor, which is powered by 128 AI neural networks to enhance picture and sound experiences<a href="#_ftn33" name="_ftnref33"><span>[33]</span></a>. For soccer fans, AI Soccer Mode Pro on S95H and S90H &#8211; and AI Soccer Mode on S85H<a href="#_ftn34" name="_ftnref34"><span>[34]</span></a> &#8211; the TV will automatically detect live matches to sharpen player detail, and help produce a balanced crowd atmosphere with clear commentary, so every moment feels more immersive and match-ready, with minimal distractions<a href="#_ftn35" name="_ftnref35"><span>[35]</span></a>.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung Australia has today unveiled its 2026 home audio range, introducing an expanded portfolio of design-led Wi-Fi speakers and soundbars crafted to deliver more personalised listening experiences for Australians. The line-up includes the all-new <a href="https://www.samsung.com/au/audio-devices/wireless-speaker/ls70h-black-hw-ls70h-xy/">Music Studio 7</a> and <a href="https://www.samsung.com/au/audio-devices/wireless-speaker/ls51h-white-hw-ls51h-xy/">Music Studio 5</a> wireless speakers, the next generation of powerful <a href="https://www.samsung.com/au/audio-devices/soundbar/q990h-black-hw-q990h-xy/">Q-Series soundbars</a>, and refreshed <a href="https://www.samsung.com/au/audio-devices/sound-tower/st50f-black-mx-st50f-xy/">Sound Tower models</a>, each refined to complement modern lifestyles while enhancing home theatre experiences. This latest range builds on Samsung’s legacy as the world’s number one soundbar brand for 12 consecutive years<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span>[1]</span></a> and continues Samsung’s commitment to offer a sound device to suit every Australian lifestyle.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>“Samsung has been at the forefront of how Australians experience sound at home for over a decade. This leadership comes from combining deep audio expertise with a strong understanding of how listening habits have evolved; from immersive TV experiences to streaming music and podcasts. In 2026, we’re building on that foundation with audio that delivers premium performance while adapting seamlessly to everyday life and personal style,” said Simon Howe, Director &#8211; Visual Display and Brand Memory, Samsung Australia.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Our expertly crafted Music Studio series and Q-Series soundbar ranges bring to life this combination of premium performance with timeless designs to meet the needs of various Australian lifestyles. Our latest audio products automatically optimise sound based on what you’re watching or listening to, and your surroundings, delivering a more immersive, personalised experience to every home.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Music Studio 7 &amp; 5 Wi-Fi Speakers: Inspired by the Origin of Sound Itself</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_7790" style="width: 806px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img class="size-medium wp-image-7790" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Print_KV2-4961x3508_CMYK_small-796x563.jpg" alt="" width="796" height="563" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Pictured: Black Music Studio 7. Image simulated for illustrative purposes. Cables not shown.</p></div>
<p>The all-new Samsung Music Studio Series is designed to deliver immersive audio for music, podcasts and TV audio, while perfectly harmonising with Australian living spaces. Both Music Studio 7 and <a href="https://www.samsung.com/us/home-audio/wireless-speaker/music-studio-5-dolby-atmos-speaker-sku-hw-ls50h-za/?r=true&amp;referrer=usnewsroom">Music Studio 5</a> share a timeless “Dot Design” by renowned designer Erwan Bouroullec, sculpted in minimalist forms to avoid being linked to a particular era or style.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Something very contemporary, like consumer electronics, can quickly become outdated if designed in a style that doesn’t endure. When the style is wrong, even the ergonomics can feel compromised, and the object becomes its own limitation,” said Mr. Bourourllec.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“In a very conscious way, I tried to root the design of the Music Studio models in what I consider the ethos of a speaker: a cone with a point in the middle. That’s what I always saw as a child behind the front cover of a speaker and it’s a shape that our brain computes easily. The finishes of the Music Studio speakers do not clearly evoke a specific material and detailing was reduced to a minimum to balance modernity with a more in-temporal approach. What has emerged is two highly technical and powerful wireless speakers that appear as furniture or art that can sit in a teenagers’ bedroom, in a workshop, or on the mantel of a modern or classically styled home.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Music Studio 7: See the music, listen to the art</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<div id="attachment_7797" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img class="size-medium wp-image-7797" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Music-Studio-Real-life-scenarios_11-LS70H-1000x550.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="550" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Pictured: Music Studio 7. Image simulated for illustrative purposes.</p></div>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Designed to bring sound and art together, the Music Studio 7 delivers powerful 3.1.1 channel audio, creating rich, clear sound that fills spaces with depth and character. Whether its helicopters flying across a TV screen, an orchestra in a concert hall, or an emerging band with deep bass, Australians can feel fully immersed with support for wired or wireless Dolby Atmos 3D audio<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span>[2]</span></a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Complementing the Music Studio 7, the <a href="https://www.samsung.com/us/home-audio/wireless-speaker/music-studio-5-dolby-atmos-speaker-sku-hw-ls50h-za/?r=true&amp;referrer=usnewsroom">Music Studio 5</a> uses a built-in woofer and front-firing tweeters alongside waveguide technology to help direct and spread sound evenly across a room, enabling Australians to enjoy great audio wherever the speaker is placed.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Across the Music Studio Series, Hi-Resolution Audio helps enable Australians to hear each layer of music via enhanced decoding and signal processing with support for up to 24‑bit/96 kHz. Samsung’s new Pattern Control technology further refines the experience by directing sound, reducing distortion, and dispersing audio more evenly throughout a space.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Both speakers also utilise AI processing to enhance bass and tailor sound to both content and environment. Dynamic Bass Control<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><span>[3]</span></a> preserves low frequencies and reduces distortion, while SpaceFit Sound Pro<a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4"><span>[4]</span></a> customises audio based on room dimensions and layout. Active Voice Amplifier Pro<a href="#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5"><span>[5]</span></a> further improves clarity by detecting background noise and enhancing dialogue.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>New in 2026, Q-Symphony supports pairing up to five Samsung sound devices<a href="#_ftn6" name="_ftnref6"><span>[6]</span></a>, helping Australians craft a personalised home theatre setup based on their home set-up and passions. The feature can also automatically adjust sound based on where speakers are in the room,<a href="#_ftn7" name="_ftnref7"><span>[7]</span></a> helping to provide optimal performance whatever the setup. Via Q-Symphony, both Music Studio models can also be paired with a compatible Samsung TV and soundbar to work in unison for more immersive audio when watching movies and shows<a href="#_ftn8" name="_ftnref8"><span>[8]</span></a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Music Studio 7 and Music Studio 5 can also wirelessly connect to various devices via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, making it easy to play music and podcasts from popular streaming platforms. This includes a special integration with Spotify Tap, which enables Australians to double tap their phone to the Music Studio speaker to launch a playlist of recommended songs tailored to their taste. Another simple double tap again will conjure a fresh playlist – without needing to open your phone<span> <a href="#_ftn9" name="_ftnref9">[9]</a></span>.  Further, two Music Studios can Stereo Play as dedicated left and right channels while up to 10 Music Studio models can connect via Group Play to create a spacious, flowing soundstage that flows naturally throughout the home<a href="#_ftn10" name="_ftnref10"><span>[10]</span></a>.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Music Studio 7 and the Music Studio 5 are now available in select retailers nationwide in Black and White models.

<p><strong>Samsung Q-Series Soundbars: Elevating Home Theatre to New Heights</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<div id="attachment_7793" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img class="size-medium wp-image-7793" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Q-Symphony-02-1000x550.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="550" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Pictured: Q-Series HW-Q990H alongside Samsung TV soundbar. Cables not shown. Third party speaker stand featured is not available for purchase.</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>For the ultimate cinematic experience, Samsung Q-Series soundbars continue to deliver powerful, detailed surround sound across all your content. In 2026, Samsung’s Q-Series soundbar range is helmed by the <a href="https://www.samsung.com/us/home-audio/soundbar/q-series-11-1-4-ch-soundbar-surround-sound-sku-hw-q990h-za/?r=true&amp;referrer=usnewsroom">HW-Q990H</a> and supported by the HW-Q930H 9.1.4ch soundbar and <a href="https://www.samsung.com/us/home-audio/soundbar/q-series-5-1-2-ch-soundbar-subwoofer-sku-hw-q800h-za/?r=true&amp;referrer=usnewsroom">HW-Q800H</a> 5.1.2ch soundbar, and HW-Q600H 3.1.2ch soundbar.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As the flagship, the <a href="https://www.samsung.com/us/home-audio/soundbar/q-series-11-1-4-ch-soundbar-surround-sound-sku-hw-q990h-za/?r=true&amp;referrer=usnewsroom">HW-Q990H</a> is Samsung’s most immersive soundbar yet, with true 11.1.4 channel sound designed to surround Australians from every angle.<a href="#_ftn11" name="_ftnref11"><span>[11]</span></a> Wireless Dolby Atmos<a href="#_ftn12" name="_ftnref12"><span>[12]</span></a> sound helps crisp sound flow around and above audiences to ensure every beat is heard, just as in a cinema. The HW-Q990H also features a compact dual active subwoofer with AI Dynamic Bass Control<a href="#_ftn13" name="_ftnref13"><span>[13]</span></a> which helps ensure powerful bass, while remaining space efficient.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>New across the 2026 Q-Series range<a href="#_ftn14" name="_ftnref14"><span>[14]</span></a> is Samsung Sound Elevation<a href="#_ftn15" name="_ftnref15"><span>[15]</span></a>. This feature enhances listening comfort by using up-firing speakers to expand the perceived height of audio, helping dialogue feel more naturally aligned with on-screen action rather than the soundbar below.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Auto Volume is also now included, designed to reduce sudden volume changes when switching between channels, content, or streaming services<a href="#_ftn16" name="_ftnref16"><span>[16]</span></a>. By analysing incoming audio and normalising levels, it helps ensure a more consistent listening experience without needing to use the remote.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung’s Q-Series soundbar range is now available in leading retailers nationwide. Pricing is set at dealer discretion with RRPs:</p>
<ul>
<li>Q-Series HW-Q990H/XY: RRP $1,999</li>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., global display leader and provider of the Official Art TV of Art Basel, today announced the launch of the Art Basel Hong Kong 2026 Collection. The curated digital exhibition will be available exclusively on Samsung Art Store<sup>1 </sup>and features 20 contemporary artists showcased at Art Basel Hong Kong, being held March 27-29 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre<sup>2</sup>. At a dedicated booth, Samsung will demonstrate how its soon to be released Micro RGB Series, select OLED<sup>3</sup> models, and The Frame Pro Series display each artwork in stunning detail.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&#8220;Building on six years of collaboration with Art Basel, this collection represents the calibre of art Samsung Art Store offers, transforming homes into personal galleries suited to any taste,&#8221; said Bongjun Ko, Vice President of the Visual Display (VD) Business at Samsung Electronics. “Our advanced display technology brings priceless artworks into homes with stunning realism, so that anyone can become a collector.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The collection will be featured in stunning 4K resolution on Samsung Art Store starting today, continuing Samsung&#8217;s longstanding partnership with Art Basel and extending the experience of the fair beyond the exhibition halls to audiences worldwide.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

Cables not shown.</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><u>Introducing the Art Basel Hong Kong 2026 Collection</u></strong></p>
<p>The Art Basel Hong Kong 2026 Collection features 25 artworks from 20 emerging and established artists represented by eight prestigious galleries: Bank, CLC Gallery Venture, Don Gallery, Tomio Koyama, Pearl Lam, Lin &amp; Lin, Rossi &amp; Rossi and Vacancy.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The carefully curated collection reflects the cultural dynamism and diverse viewpoints that define Hong Kong’s contemporary art scene. Highlights include:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>Chinese artistic heritage and innovation, represented through works by 11 Chinese artists spanning six decades of contemporary practice.</li>
<li>Michael Najjar, “Europa” (2016). Najjar is a German painter and trained astronaut who is scheduled to participate in an upcoming spaceflight aboard Virgin Galactic&#8217;s VSS Unity.</li>
<li>Sun Yitian, “Ken” (2023). Yitian’s work has been featured in major international collections, including a collaboration with Nicolas Ghesquière for Louis Vuitton&#8217;s Pre-Fall 2024 collection.</li>
<li>Ha Bik Chuen, “Wheatfield A” (1994) and “Untitled” (1995). Chuen was a self-taught contemporary artist whose extensive archive spanning 500 boxes is being digitally catalogued by the Asia Art Archive for scholarly access.</li>
</ul>
<p>“Art Basel Hong Kong is always looking for ways to broaden how people experience art,” said Angelle Siyang-Le, Director of Art Basel Hong Kong. “Our partnership with Samsung helps bring art into our homes in a way that feels both accessible and truly high quality. It’s not about replacing the gallery &#8211; it’s about giving more people the chance to live with great art every day.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><u>Celebrating Cultural Legacy: The Lee Kun-Hee Collection </u></strong></p>
<p>During Art Basel Hong Kong 2026, Samsung will also present a curated selection of 20 works from the Lee Kun-Hee Collection on Samsung Art Store, in partnership with the National Museum of Korea. Recognised as one of Korea’s most significant private art collections, the works from the late Samsung Chairman Lee Kun-Hee’s renowned art collection reflect a long-standing commitment to cultural preservation and public access.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>These treasured pieces &#8211; including “Sun, Moon, and Five Peaks,” “Ten Symbols of Longevity” and “Scholar&#8217;s Accoutrements in a Bookcase” &#8211; have shaped artistic discourse across generations and continue to resonate with contemporary art circles.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The selection will be available on Samsung Art Store until January 2027<sup>4</sup>, offering global audiences&#8217; digital access to important works of Korean artistic heritage.</p>

<p>Samsung Australia has today unveiled its most expansive range of OLED TVs yet, bringing three series of Samsung OLED TVs &#8211; S95H, S90H, and S85H &#8211; in more sizes with brighter panels, more intelligent features, and expanded Glare-Free displays.

An OLED TV for every Australian – Glare-Free technology expanded to OLED S90H</strong></p>
<p>In 2026, Samsung has expanded its OLED size lineup by adding more size options, giving Australians more flexibility when choosing the right screen for their home. The S95H series is available in 55&#8243;, 65&#8243;, 77&#8243; and 83&#8243; sizes, while the S90H series is offered in 42&#8243;, 48&#8243;, 55&#8243;, 65&#8243;, 77&#8243; and 83&#8243;.

With Samsung Glare-Free sales doubling in 2025<a href="#_ftn9" name="_ftnref9"><span>[9]</span></a>, Samsung has extended its certified Glare-Free technology<a href="#_ftn10" name="_ftnref10"><span>[10]</span></a> to the OLED S90H to enable the TV to benefit from diffused light, reducing reflections, stunning contrast and keeping every scene looking rich, vibrant, and true to life, even in bright rooms.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Distinctive Designs for Every Living Space</strong></p>
<p>New to 2026, Samsung has introduced three unique design approaches across its OLED series, enabling Australians to choose an OLED TV that best matches their personal style.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As the first OLED Art Store<a href="#_ftn11" name="_ftnref11"><span>[11]</span></a> TV, the OLED S95H features a FloatLayer Design which allows the TV to mount flush against the wall, creating a clean look that appears to float effortlessly in place. Its refined metal back-plated bezel is designed to beautifully elevate any interior, while being ready to support a Wireless One Connect Box that can deliver an optional streamlined, clutter‑free setup with an operational range of 4K transmission of 165Hz within up to a 10m range<a href="#_ftn12" name="_ftnref12"><span>[12]</span></a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Samsung OLED S90H’s Laser-Slim Design is comparatively discreet, with an ultra-thin profile making the TV look beautiful from every angle. Further, the OLED S85H features a Contour Design that makes the TV’s 35mm thin body look sleek from top to bottom. Its smooth flowing silhouette is reminiscent of a wave, and makes an elegant addition to any home.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_7680" style="width: 855px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img class="size-medium wp-image-7680" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/2026_OLED_S95H_FRONT_WALL_Art-Store_smaller-845x563.jpg" alt="" width="845" height="563" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Samsung OLED S95H is the first Samsung OLED TV to feature Samsung Art Store. Image simulated for illustrative purposes. Cables now shown.</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>New Entertainment Companion Experiences</strong></p>
<p>The 2026 OLED TV range are powered by Samsung’s most advanced AI-driven processors, bringing Vision AI Companion<a href="#_ftn13" name="_ftnref13"><span>[13]</span></a> to Australian living rooms for the first time. Designed specifically for shared TV experiences, Vision AI Companion<a href="#_ftn14" name="_ftnref14"><span>[14]</span></a> enables users to interact with their TV through natural conversations, from discovering new content to receiving personalised recommendations and helpful suggestions.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This year, the OLED S95H and S90H are powered by the NQ4 AI Gen3 Processor, which uses 128 AI neural networks to analyse content scene-by-scene and intelligently optimise picture and sound in real time. Such AI-powered picture technologies help deliver a consistently premium viewing experience across all content sources. 4K AI Upscaling<a href="#_ftn15" name="_ftnref15"><span>[15]</span></a> intelligently reconstructs lower-resolution content to approach 4K quality, while Colour Booster Pro uses AI to analyse each scene and enhance colour expression for richer, more dynamic images<a href="#_ftn16" name="_ftnref16"><span>[16]</span></a>. Real Depth Enhancer<a href="#_ftn17" name="_ftnref17"><span>[17]</span></a> improves the perception of depth by adjusting contrast in foreground objects, creating a more lifelike viewing experience.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Motion clarity is also enhanced through AI Motion Enhancer Pro<a href="#_ftn18" name="_ftnref18"><span>[18]</span></a>, which helps reduce blur and improve smoothness during fast-moving scenes such as sports broadcasts. Meanwhile, OLED HDR Pro and OLED HDR+<a href="#_ftn19" name="_ftnref19"><span>[19]</span></a> features enhance contrast and brightness to reveal greater detail in both highlights and shadows on the OLED S95H and S90H respectively.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>New in 2026, AI Soccer Mode Pro<a href="#_ftn20" name="_ftnref20"><span>[20]</span></a> automatically detects live matches and optimises picture and sound for sports viewing. Player detail is sharpened while stadium ambience and commentary are balanced to create a more immersive match experience.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Complementing this is AI Sound Controller<a href="#_ftn21" name="_ftnref21"><span>[21]</span></a>, which gives viewers greater control over how they hear content. The feature analyses audio in real time and separates dialogue from background effects, allowing users to adjust voice clarity or ambient sound independently to suit what they’re watching.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Built for next-generation gaming</strong></p>
<p>Samsung’s 2026 OLED TVs are also engineered to deliver an ultra-responsive gaming experience.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Both the S95H and S90H support Motion Xcelerator 165Hz, enabling smoother gameplay with reduced motion blur during fast-paced action. With compatibility support for NVIDIA G-SYNC and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, gamers can enjoy tear-free visuals and low-latency performance for more responsive gameplay<a href="#_ftn22" name="_ftnref22"><span>[22]</span></a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung’s AI Gaming Optimiser<a href="#_ftn23" name="_ftnref23"><span>[23]</span></a> further enhances the experience by analysing gameplay in real time to detect the genre being played and automatically applying the best settings. This allows players to enjoy optimised visuals and smoother motion without navigating complex menus.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Immersive sound for a complete experience</strong></p>
<p>Samsung’s OLED TVs are designed to deliver surround sound in addition to life-like visuals to create a fully immersive home cinema experience. With the integration of Q-Symphony technology<a href="#_ftn24" name="_ftnref24"><span>[24]</span></a>, the OLED S95H, OLED S90H and OLED S85H models utilise Active Voice Amplifier Pro<a href="#_ftn25" name="_ftnref25"><span>[25]</span></a> to enhance voice clarity by analysing ambient noise and background sounds within the content. Object Tracking Sound<a href="#_ftn26" name="_ftnref26"><span>[26]</span></a> enables the TV utilises strategically positioned speakers to track motion on screen, creating a multi-directional audio experience and helping Australians feel like they are in the heart of the action.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Up to 7 Years of One UI Tizen OS Support delivering Endless Entertainment and Value</strong></p>
<p>Samsung continues to expand the capabilities of its TVs through One UI Tizen OS<a href="#_ftn27" name="_ftnref27"><span>[27]</span></a>, which supports up to seven years of platform upgrades, giving Australians confidence that their Samsung OLED TV will continue to evolve with new features and services over time.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Each Samsung OLED 2026 TV comes with a wide range of built-in entertainment and lifestyle experiences designed to make the TV the centre of the connected home. Through Samsung TV Plus<a href="#_ftn28" name="_ftnref28"><span>[28]</span></a>, Australians can access more than 130 free live channels alongside a growing library of on-demand content spanning news, sport and entertainment.

<p>New to 2026, Google Photos will also be introduced, enabling Australians to display curated memories and personal photo collections as an ambient background on their TV<a href="#_ftn30" name="_ftnref30"><span>[30]</span></a>. This means OLED S95H users can select their own treasured image, choose from a world-class artwork from Samsung Art Store or use Generative Wallpaper<a href="#_ftn31" name="_ftnref31"><span>[31]</span></a> to create a bespoke image when the TV is not being watched.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Built-in support for Bixby and Amazon Alexa further enhances convenience, allowing users to search for content, control smart home devices and manage their entertainment through natural voice commands<a href="#_ftn32" name="_ftnref32"><span>[32]</span></a>.

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced that it has maintained its leadership in the audio-visual sector as the world’s top soundbar brand for the 12th year in a row.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>According to new research from Futuresource Consulting, Samsung captured 21.5% of global soundbar revenue and 19.7% of unit volume in 2025, continuing its leadership streak that began in 2014. This milestone, along with two decades of global TV leadership,<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span>[1]</span></a> reinforces Samsung’s position at the forefront of the home entertainment industry.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung’s sustained success in the soundbar market is driven by advanced audio technology, immersive sound and seamless integration with Samsung TVs. Building on this foundation, Samsung will expand its 2026 audio lineup with new products that deliver cinema-quality sound tailored to different living environments.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The lineup will include:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>HW‑Q990H flagship soundbar</strong>, the successor to the HW‑Q990F</li>
<li>Bouroullec‑designed <strong>Music Studio 7</strong> and <strong>Music Studio 5</strong> Wi‑Fi speakers</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“At Samsung, we take special pride in our soundbar brand and see it as a way to bring premium sound experiences to homes everywhere,” said Hun Lee, Executive Vice President of the Visual Display (VD) Business at Samsung Electronics. “Being named the top soundbar brand in the world for the 12th consecutive year is not just a tremendous honour, but a testament to our commitment to premium home entertainment.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-7656" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/PR_Welcome-to-the-Next-Era-of-Intelligent-Devices_SEAO-Byline-Series-Image-1-Thumbnail-1000x563.png" alt="" width="1000" height="563" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>New technologies often arrive with great fanfare, but the innovations that truly redefine our lives are those that eventually fade seamlessly into the background. We have reached a point in civilisation where the real test of technology is no longer whether we can explain how it works, but whether it works so easily, reliably, and intuitively that it requires no conscious effort from us at all.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>At CES 2026, we shared a vision to unify intelligence across our entire ecosystem. We are committed to integrating AI into our new mobile devices and 4K and higher resolution TVs, alongside of our home appliance line-up globally<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span>[1]</span></a>. Importantly, these are meant to function not just as &#8220;smart&#8221; gadgets, but also companions designed to understand context and routines, meeting people exactly where they are and quietly enabling what matters most to their unique lifestyles.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>AI Companions That Anticipate</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>For decades, the burden has been on the user to learn how to navigate technology. But today, our latest devices are better able to understand user habits and preferences than ever before, addressing their needs and navigating our world at the same time. Soon, we will no longer ask <em>“How does this feature work?”, </em>as we will already live in a reality where your devices will more easily anticipate what you need.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Our latest TVs, for instance, have evolved. Equipped with Vision AI, these devices analyse content, user preferences, and the viewing environment in real-time, automatically optimising picture and sound to deliver the best possible experience, without needing any manual adjustments.<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span>[2]</span></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Similarly, our home appliances are transitioning from tools to true AI companions. By mastering automated routines, they reduce the mental load of household chores while holistically managing the unique aspects of routines around the home.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The next stage of this evolution will be reflected in our upcoming Galaxy S Series line-up. Since launching our first AI enabled smartphone phone in 2024, we have led a paradigm shift from touch-based to multi-modal interactions, and we now aim to drive progress from app-centred usage to agent-centred experiences which reduces the number of steps needed to get things done, allowing intelligence to support tasks more naturally. We are at the cusp of the next phase: mobile devices that will no longer just be portals to information; they will be central AI hubs that proactively manage the complexities of daily life with unprecedented <strong>personalisation and ease. </strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Privacy and Security as a Foundation</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This vision that we have of ambient technology cannot work without absolute trust. As AI becomes more personal, contextual, and deeply embedded in everyday routines, protecting privacy is no longer optional. If a user is concerned about the integrity and safety of their data, technology ends up becoming a source of stress rather than peace. To that end, we are building an ecosystem where privacy is not a setting you have to search for, but the default state.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Our ambition is for AI to feel as trustworthy as it is powerful. We want our users to have total <strong>confidence</strong> that their data, choices, and boundaries are respected, even as their experiences become more intelligent and connected. This is why Samsung Knox remains the bedrock of our security ecosystem, delivering multi-layered, hardware-backed protection that can help provide additional safeguards from your phone to your compatible refrigerator.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>AI personalisation happens directly on the device wherever possible, <a href="https://news.samsung.com/au/your-privacy-secured-inside-the-tech-powering-safe-personalised-galaxy-ai-experiences">keeping personal context local</a> so intelligent experiences do not come at the expense of privacy. And because trust requires more than strong safeguards behind the scenes, we aim to make that protection visible and easy to understand<a href="https://news.samsung.com/au/your-privacy-secured-how-galaxy-ai-empowers-you-to-take-control-of-your-data">, giving users clear insight into what’s protected and the confidence to stay in control</a> as AI becomes a natural part of daily life.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In addition to these comprehensive safeguards, <span><a href="https://news.samsung.com/au/coming-soon-a-new-layer-of-privacy">we will soon introduce a new standard for privacy</a></span> with our latest mobile innovations. After more than five years of development and rigorous testing, this new layer of privacy brings together hardware and software to shield your phone from shoulder surfing wherever you go. With multiple settings for adjusting visibility, users can customise the level of privacy protection according to their needs and preferences.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong><strong>Innovation for Every Lifestyle </strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Our commitment remains focused on developing purposeful and innovative solutions that can be tailored to meet the needs of varied lifestyles. Looking ahead, consumers can soon experience technology and features that do more than just simplify tasks; they will effortlessly level up creativity with advanced camera and editing capabilities, and securely make life easier across how we live, work, and play.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This month, we are not just launching a new Galaxy S Series; we are welcoming a new era of intelligence that is as powerful as it is easy and effortless. We invite you to stay tuned for the reveal of what is to come.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="#_ftnref1" name="_ftn1"><span>[1]</span></a><span> Samsung’s vision as at 5 January 2026, announced at The First Look Exhibition, The Wynn, Las Vegas </span></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced that it ranks as the world’s No.1 TV brand for the 20th consecutive year — marking two decades as the global leader in the television industry.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung had held the top position in the global TV market since 2006, and, according to market research firm Omdia, the company recorded a 29.1% share of the global TV market in 2025. This achievement reinforces Samsung’s leadership across premium, ultra-large and next-generation display technologies.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung led the premium segment priced over $2,500 with a 54.3% market share, driven by Neo QLED, OLED, and lifestyle TVs. It also maintained its lead in the segment over $1,500, holding a 52.2% market share.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“When consumers choose a TV, they’re choosing a brand they can trust for years to come,” said SW Yong, President and Head of the Visual Display (VD) Business at Samsung Electronics. “Our 20-year leadership in the global TV market reflects that trust — built on decades of engineering excellence and premium innovation.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><u>20 Years of Industry-Defining Innovation</u></strong></p>
<p>Since first reaching the No.1 position in 2006 with its design-led <strong>Bordeaux TV</strong>, Samsung has consistently innovated to reshape the television industry:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>2009:</strong> The company accelerated the global transition to <strong>LED TVs</strong>.</li>
<li><strong>2011:</strong> The introduction of <strong>Smart TVs</strong> further transformed televisions into connected entertainment platforms, expanding their role beyond traditional viewing.</li>
<li><strong>2015:</strong> <strong>The Serif </strong>reimagined how TVs integrate into living spaces by introducing a design-focused TV that positioned the screen as a statement piece within the home.</li>
<li><strong>2017:</strong> The company launched <strong>The Frame</strong>, pioneering the <strong>Art TV </strong>category by transforming the television into a customisable digital art canvas.</li>
<li><strong>2017:</strong> In premium picture quality, Samsung continued to set industry benchmarks with the introduction of <strong>QLED TVs </strong>powered by quantum dot technology.</li>
<li><strong>2018:</strong> <strong>8K TVs</strong> delivered approx r 33 million pixels<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span>[1]</span></a> — four times the resolution of 4K.</li>
<li><strong>2020:</strong> Samsung introduced <strong>MICRO LED</strong> technology, advancing self-emissive display innovation and setting new standards for brightness, contrast and colour accuracy in ultra-large screens.</li>
</ul>
<p>Through continuous advancements in picture quality, smart functionality and display innovation, Samsung has played a defining role in establishing today’s premium TV standards.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><u>Strengthening Leadership in Premium and Next-Generation TVs</u></strong></p>
<p>Building on its legacy of innovation, Samsung continues to evolve its premium TV portfolio with expanded <span><a href="https://news.samsung.com/au/feel-the-power-of-colour-samsung-brings-its-first-micro-rgb-tv-to-australia"><strong>Micro RGB</strong> models</a></span>, advancing its next-generation display technologies and reinforcing leadership in high-performance screens. The company also continues to enhance its <span><a href="https://www.samsung.com/au/tvs/all-tvs/"><strong>OLED </strong>and <strong>Neo QLED</strong> lineups</a></span>, delivering premium picture quality, ultra-large screen options and differentiated display performance.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung is expanding its <strong>Mini LED</strong> offerings as well, bringing enhanced brightness, contrast and precision control to a wider range of screen sizes and price tiers to extend advanced display performance across its lineup. At the same time, continued investment in <strong>AI-powered TVs</strong> integrates advanced processors and intelligent features that optimise picture, sound and personalisation in real time.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With two decades of proven global leadership, Samsung remains one of the most consistently recognised and trusted TV brands worldwide, offering industry-leading technology across multiple price tiers, screen sizes and display innovations.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="#_ftnref1" name="_ftn1"><span>[1]</span></a> Native 8K content availability is very limited. Picture quality of upscaled content will vary. Real 8K Resolution is defined as having 7,680 x 4,320  pixels, 4K Resolution is 3,840 x 2,160</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Samsung Electronics Australia has today announced the expansion of its commercial display offerings locally with the launch of Samsung Spatial Signage. Rolling out in 85-inch, 55-inch and 32-inch sizes throughout the year, the new range combines immersive glasses-free 3D visuals with AI-powered content optimisation through Samsung VXT’s AI Studio to streamline signage creation for commercial environments.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-7573" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/ISE-2026-Samsung-Spatial-Signage-1-1-1024x576.png" alt="" width="1024" height="576" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/ISE-2026-Samsung-Spatial-Signage-1-1-1024x576.png 1024w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/ISE-2026-Samsung-Spatial-Signage-1-1-728x410.png 728w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/ISE-2026-Samsung-Spatial-Signage-1-1-1000x563.png 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/ISE-2026-Samsung-Spatial-Signage-1-1-768x432.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“As commercial environments continue to evolve, integrating display technology with smart content solutions has become critical”, said Shawn Kwon, Vice President, Integrated B2B at Samsung Electronics Australia. “With glasses-free 3D Spatial Signage supported by AI-powered Samsung VXT, we’re helping businesses deliver more immersive and engaging experiences across a broad range of commercial use cases. With that, we are now seeing early use cases spanning duty free shops, department stores and sports stadiums – where 3D content is bringing the ‘Wow’ factor, enhancing a customer’s experience. We’re proud to be empowering businesses with Spatial Signage products – Australian businesses can now be very creative with their own customer engagement, as by bringing 3D into the main stage, content can be delivered in a much more intuitive environment.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Bringing Brands to Life Across a Range </strong><strong>of Environments With Spatial Signage</strong></h3>
<p>Spatial Signage is Samsung’s industry-leading 3D digital signage that delivers an immersive visual experience. Using Samsung’s <strong>patented</strong> <strong>3D Plate technology</strong>, it creates a sense of spatial depth positioned behind the LCD panel. Content retains the sharpness of 2D visuals while adding natural-looking 3D depth — without the need for specialised equipment such as 3D glasses. The display’s presentation naturally draws attention in retail, luxury, museum and entertainment settings, helping direct focus to key promotions, exhibitions or important information.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-7575" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/ISE-2026-Samsung-Spatial-Signage-3-1-1024x576.png" alt="" width="1024" height="576" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/ISE-2026-Samsung-Spatial-Signage-3-1-1024x576.png 1024w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/ISE-2026-Samsung-Spatial-Signage-3-1-728x410.png 728w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/ISE-2026-Samsung-Spatial-Signage-3-1-1000x563.png 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/ISE-2026-Samsung-Spatial-Signage-3-1-768x432.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The newly launched 85-inch Spatial Signage display features a 4K UHD resolution (2,160 x 3,840) in a 9:16 portrait format, which enables brands and venues to present 360-degree rotating visuals that show front, back and side views of a product or scene.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Powered by Samsung’s industry-leading <strong>Quantum Processor</strong>, the display provides 4K UHD upscaling, 16-bit colour mapping and dynamic HDR refinement to deliver sharper detail, smoother tonal transitions and consistent colour accuracy. Additionally, an anti-glare panel helps maintain clarity under bright or challenging lighting conditions.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Spatial Signage features an<strong> UltraThin Design </strong>with a slim 52mm profile and a lightweight 49kg build. Compatible with a <strong>Slim Fit Wall Mount</strong>, the display installs like conventional signage and integrates cleanly into compact or design-sensitive locations, without the bulky, box-like enclosures typically associated with traditional showcase-style displays.<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span>[1]</span></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-7578" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/ISE-2026-Samsung-VXTs-AI-Studio-app-1-1024x576.png" alt="" width="1024" height="576" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/ISE-2026-Samsung-VXTs-AI-Studio-app-1-1024x576.png 1024w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/ISE-2026-Samsung-VXTs-AI-Studio-app-1-728x410.png 728w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/ISE-2026-Samsung-VXTs-AI-Studio-app-1-1000x563.png 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/au/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/ISE-2026-Samsung-VXTs-AI-Studio-app-1-768x432.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>AI Studio</strong>, a new AI-powered content app within <strong>Samsung </strong><strong>VXT</strong>,<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span>[2]</span></a> allows for streamlined content creation for all Samsung signage connected to the platform. The app transforms static images into signage-ready video without the need for external tools or manual setup. Content created through VXT’s AI Studio app is automatically optimised with refined shadow detailing, adjusted margins and background treatments for Spatial Signage — creating more realistic and balanced visuals tailored for a wide variety of commercial environments.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Recognised for its pioneering 3D capabilities, Spatial Signage has been <span><a href="https://news.samsung.com/global/samsung-makes-enterprise-debut-at-ces-2026-with-spatial-signage">named</a></span> a <strong>CES 2026 Innovation Award</strong> <span><a href="https://www.ces.tech/ces-innovation-awards/2026/samsung-spatial-signage/"><strong>Honouree</strong></a></span><strong> in the newly introduced Enterprise Tech category</strong>, which made Samsung one of the first to be recognised in the category during its commercial debut at the show. Last year, the display was also named an IFA 2025 Innovation Award <span><a href="https://www.ifa-berlin.com/innovation-awards">Honouree</a></span> in the ‘Best in Emerging Tech’ category.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Spatial Signage will be available in Australia from April with the 85-inch model at an RRP of $28,530 (incl. GST). The 32-inch variant will follow in July, with the 55-inch arriving in September; pricing for both models will be confirmed closer to launch.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="#_ftnref1" name="_ftn1"><span>[1]</span></a> Slim Fit Wall Mount must be purchased separately.</p>
<p><a href="#_ftnref2" name="_ftn2"><span>[2]</span></a> Samsung VXT is a cloud-based digital signage platform that combines content creation, management, and remote device control within a single CMS, accessible via desktop and mobile. VXT is sold separately, and feature availability may vary by region. AI Studio will be available globally in 1H.2026 and may incur additional costs depending on usage.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>At <em>The First Look</em> during CES 2026, we moved beyond the traditional roadmap of hardware iterations to unveil a broader strategic vision: &#8220;Your Companion to AI Living.&#8221; This vision combines both hardware and visual intelligence to deliver an entertainment experience across our TVs, monitors, and audio ecosystem that anticipates users’ needs and preferences in how they consume their preferred entertainment.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As the world’s leading TV brand for 19 consecutive years<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span>[1]</span></a>, we recognise that our leadership is no longer defined solely by the screens we produce, but by how effectively we integrate them into the lives of our consumers.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In the Southeast Asia and Oceania (SEAO) region, this shift is particularly critical. According to the latest <em>e-Conomy SEA</em> report by Google, Temasek, and Bain &amp; Company, consumer interest in AI in Southeast Asia is three times the global average<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span>[2]</span></a>. This heightened receptivity to innovation informs our 2026 strategy, driving a push towards a proactive, multi-agent experience.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>From Tactical Usage to Intuitive Environments</strong></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With the rapid maturation of the digital economy across the SEAO region, our 2025 TV Awareness Study<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><span>[3]</span></a> shows that 88% of consumers surveyed in SEAO now use a smart TV as their primary screen. This tells us that modern consumers are no longer looking for a passive display device; they want an intelligent<strong> Entertainment Companion</strong> &#8211; a device that understands context.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As daily life becomes increasingly complex, the value proposition of technology must shift from manual utility to proactive assistance. At the core is <strong>Vision AI Companion (VAC)<a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4"><span>[4]</span></a></strong>, designed to make television more intuitive, conversational and personalised. Simply ask a question<a href="#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5"><span>[5]</span></a> while you’re watching the TV about a sports event, or even travel suggestions and Vision AI Companion will deliver an answer near instantly, accompanied by helpful visuals and related content. Questions might include asking VAC to <span>recommend what to wear based on trending clothing styles, or to find you an ideal brunch spot nearby.</span> Alongside <strong>SmartThings<a href="#_ftn6" name="_ftnref6"><span>[6]</span></a></strong> as the underlying architecture, the screen becomes a central command hub, orchestrating the home from climate control to household management. This is technology that simplifies life rather than adding to its cognitive load.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<h3><strong>Defining the Premium Experience: Sight and Sound</strong></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The bar for home cinema has shifted towards premium, ultra-large screen experiences designed for zero compromise. In SEAO, 68% of consumers surveyed prioritise high-end, cinematic experiences at home<span>3</span>. We are meeting this demand by scaling our ultra-large screen offerings and introducing the world’s first <span><a href="https://news.samsung.com/au/samsung-unveils-worlds-first-130-inch-micro-rgb-tv-featuring-next-generation-colour-and-timeless-new-design" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>130-inch Micro RGB TV</strong></a></span><a href="#_ftn7" name="_ftnref7"><span><strong>[7]</strong></span></a><strong> (R95H model)</strong>, marking a big step in display innovation and ultra-realistic picture quality.<a href="#_ftn8" name="_ftnref8"><span>[8]</span></a> The core LED light source is redesigned and re-engineered,<a href="#_ftn9" name="_ftnref9"><span>[9]</span></a> delivering exceptional colour performance on top of great brightness and contrast.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>True immersion is a multi-sensory business. We pair our display expertise with 12 years of audio excellence<a href="#_ftn10" name="_ftnref10"><span>[10]</span></a> to transform the home audio experience, creating a unified acoustic environment. In 2026, <strong>Q-Symphony<a href="#_ftn11" name="_ftnref11"><span>[11]</span></a></strong> evolves select TVs and speakers into an adaptive ecosystem that intelligently optimises sound based on each room’s unique layout<a href="#_ftn12" name="_ftnref12"><span>[12]</span></a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This intelligence extends beyond entertainment to the battle station for gamers. Leading the <strong>Odyssey gaming monitor</strong> lineup is the 32-inch Odyssey 3D (G90XH model), Samsung’s first 6K glasses-free 3D<a href="#_ftn13" name="_ftnref13"><span>[13]</span></a> gaming monitor that pushes the boundaries of resolution and refresh rates,<a href="#_ftn14" name="_ftnref14"><span>[14]</span></a> ensuring a visual experience that is as seamless as it is immersive.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Elevating Home Expression Through Art and Content</strong></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Technology is most impactful when it enhances how we live and what we watch. In today’s vibrant and diverse consumer landscape, the visual display is not only a source of entertainment, but also a canvas for personal expression, supported by a growing ecosystem of content that enriches the home experience.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This year, we are bridging the gap between premium technology and home aesthetics through <span><a href="https://www.samsung.com/au/lifestyle-tvs/the-frame/ls03fw-85-inch-the-frame-pro-4k-vision-ai-smart-tv-black-qa85ls03fwwxxy/?srsltid=AfmBOopAbXJTHnJPhXGviTIeMNRLnOlBv_ICWqY-PO_RruNlR5Z_RR8P'" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>The Frame Pro</strong></a></span>. By utilising our advanced Glare-Free display technology<a href="#_ftn15" name="_ftnref15"><sup>[15]</sup></a> and access to curated art via the Samsung Art Store<a href="#_ftn16" name="_ftnref16"><sup>[16]</sup></a>, the screen complements a room’s atmosphere rather than dominating it. It enables users to showcase their heritage and tastes, transforming a high-performance device into a centrepiece of artistic expression.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Samsung TV Plus</strong>, our free ad-supported streaming (FAST) service, has also surpassed 100 million monthly active users (MAU) in 30 countries worldwide<a href="#_ftn17" name="_ftnref17"><span>[17]</span></a>, marking a 12 million increase in users since October 2024, further redefining entertainment for consumers with Samsung TVs leading the global TV market.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<h3><strong>Inspiring the Next Two Decades of Innovation</strong></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>At Samsung, our commitment is to ensure that technology is no longer something you must learn, but something that understands you. Through <strong>“Your Companion to AI Living,”</strong> we are evolving the visual display from the centre of the room to the heart of the home.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>We are not just selling hardware; we are building the infrastructure for a more intuitive way of living. By aligning our global innovation with the unique digital appetite of the SEAO region, we are ensuring that the next era of home entertainment isn&#8217;t just about better pixels, but about being a better companion in your daily life.</p>

<p>Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced an exclusive global partnership with the leading guitar brand, <span><a href="http://www.fender.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fender</a></span>, to the TV edition of Fender Play to Samsung TVs in 2026.<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span>[1]</span></a></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Players can choose an education path for four different instruments<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span>[2]</span></a>: electric guitar, acoustic guitar, bass or ukulele. Musicians can also access on‑demand courses by skill level, each with a wide range of step‑by‑step lessons built around familiar songs. Through Jam Mode, players can pick a fun background and play along with curated tracks from a variety of genres, turning their screen into a stage.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung will debut a live preview of the experience at <span><a href="https://www.ces.tech/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CES 2026</a></span>, with on-screen demos that will showcase the immersive learning experience. With 20 consecutive years of leading the global TV market, Samsung delivers the picture, sound and reliability that keep new players engaged as they build skills.</p>
