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.

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.

“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.”

20 Years of Industry-Defining Innovation

Since first reaching the No.1 position in 2006 with its design-led Bordeaux TV, Samsung has consistently innovated to reshape the television industry:

• 2009: The company accelerated the global transition to LED TVs, setting new standards for slimmer, more energy-efficient displays.
• 2011: The introduction of Smart TVs further transformed televisions into connected entertainment platforms, expanding their role beyond traditional viewing.
• 2015:The Serif reimagined how TVs integrate into living spaces by introducing a design-focused TV that positioned the screen as a statement piece within the home.
• 2017: The company launched The Frame, pioneering the Art TV category by transforming the television into a customizable digital art canvas.
• 2017: In premium picture quality, Samsung continued to set industry benchmarks with the introduction of QLED TVs powered by quantum dot technology.
• 2018:8K TVs delivered over 33 million pixels — four times the resolution of 4K.
• 2020: Samsung introduced MICRO LED technology, advancing self-emissive display innovation and setting new standards for brightness, contrast and color accuracy in ultra-large screens.
• Through continuous advancements in picture quality, smart functionality and display innovation, Samsung has played a defining role in establishing today’s premium TV standards.

Strengthening Leadership in Premium and Next-Generation TVs

Building on its legacy of innovation, Samsung continues to evolve its premium TV portfolio with expanded Micro RGB models, advancing its next-generation display technologies and reinforcing leadership in high-performance screens. The company also continues to enhance its OLED and Neo QLED line-ups, delivering premium picture quality, ultra-large screen options and differentiated display performance.

Samsung is expanding its Mini LED 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 line-up. At the same time, continued investment in AI-powered TVs integrates advanced processors and intelligent features that optimise picture, sound and personalisation in real time.

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.

LAS VEGAS — Jan. 6, 2026 — Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. yesterday held “FAST Forward: How New Streaming Models Are Shaping the Next Generation of TV” as part of its Tech Forum panel series at CES 2026. Taking place at The Wynn in Las Vegas, Nevada, the panel brought together leaders from entertainment and media to explore the evolution of streaming and the rapid rise of free-ad-supported television (FAST).

The session highlighted the interconnected relationship between today’s rapidly evolving consumer behaviours and preferences, the transformation of content by technology and monetization models, the expanding role of creators as studios and the ways in which interactive and live experiences are catalysing a shift from passive viewing into active engagement.

Moderated by Natalie Jarvey of The Ankler, the panel featured Salek Brodsky, SVP and Global Head of Samsung TV Plus; Alessandra Catanese, CEO of Smosh and Bruce Casino, EVP, Sales & Distribution, U.S., NBCUniversal Global TV Distribution.

FAST Gains Momentum as Audiences Recalibrate Value

As audiences grapple with subscription fatigue and a fragmented streaming landscape, the panel focused on how FAST is restoring simplicity and value to television. Samsung TV Plus[1] anchored the conversation as a platform designed to reduce friction, offering hundreds of live and on-demand channels in one free, easily accessible experience across Samsung TVs and devices worldwide.

“The TV experience today can often feel like too much work for the viewer,” said SVP Brodsky. “Our goal with Samsung TV Plus is to simplify television again and combine the power of linear discovery with a modern, connected experience that feels effortless, curated and truly valuable.”

The panellists emphasized that FAST has evolved into a core part of the streaming ecosystem, complementing subscription and traditional models while delivering premium, proven programming at scale. For Samsung TV Plus, that evolution is rooted in shared experiences that elevate viewing and meet users not just where they already are, but where they want to be.

Hybrid Models Redefine the Streaming Ecosystem

Panellists emphasized that the evolution of streaming is less about replacing traditional models and more about expanding how audiences engage with content. FAST, subscription and linear distribution models are increasingly working in tandem, allowing studios to extend the life of proven franchises, reach new viewers and unlock additional value without sacrificing performance elsewhere. By leveraging data, audience behaviour and decades of content insight, media companies are deploying FAST to complement existing channels and create a more resilient and diversified ecosystem.

EVP Bruce Casino highlighted how this approach has enabled NBCUniversal to bring both classic and contemporary content to FAST audiences while continuing to see strong performance across platforms. “FAST doesn’t replace traditional distribution, it extends it,” said Casino. “What we’re seeing is that when great content shows up in multiple places, it creates incremental value rather than cannibalization — allowing franchises to thrive across FAST, streaming and linear channels.”

Creators Emerge as the New Studios

The panel also examined how the changing nature of consumer habits and television platforms means content creators do not have to work exclusively with legacy studios to reach a broad audience. As this medium expands from social platforms to the living room, FAST is helping bridge digital culture and traditional TV, while also serving to elevate its production quality.

Samsung TV Plus was highlighted as a platform that helps creators evolve from digital-first brands into full-fledged television studios, helping expand reach, unlock new monetization opportunities and introduce content to broader, global audiences.

One of the clearest examples of a brand that has taken the step from digital-first brand to legitimate TV studio is sketch comedy-improv collective Smosh. By launching a FAST channel with Samsung TV Plus, Smosh has been able to strengthen its connection with its already-dedicated fans while gaining access to a much larger viewer base. Due to this evolution, Smosh has enhanced long-term growth.

“Partnering with Samsung TV Plus allowed us to elevate our production quality and invest in the future of the Smosh brand,” said CEO Alessandra Catanese. “It was the right platform to help us reach a broader audience while positioning our content in a premium environment that supports where we’re headed as a company.”

Live and Interactive Experiences Drive Engagement

Looking beyond on-demand viewing, panellists discussed how live programming like concerts and interactivity are reshaping the television experience by creating shared moments that audiences actively participate in.

With features such as synchronized premieres and real-time participation, technology is transforming television from a passive activity into an interactive experience — fostering connection, excitement and a sense of belonging that brings viewers together organically. Together, the panellists agreed that the future of television will be defined by flexibility, cultural connection and experiences that invite participation, not just consumption.

“Authentic content that creates cultural connection and brings people together is what matters most,” said SVP Brodsky. “That’s why we’re investing in live events, creator programming and interactive formats that remind people why TV has always been the centre of the home.”

As streaming continues to evolve, Samsung is focused on helping shape a TV ecosystem that delivers value for viewers, opportunity for creators and scale for advertisers, — redefining what television can be in 2026 and beyond.

• To help American Football fans understand the basics, Samsung and American Football ex-pro and pundit Jason Bell, have launched a Jargon Buster Playbook, offering easy explainers so fans understand their foul plays from fumbles and snaps from safeties

• Despite this, American Football’s popularity is increasing here in the UK, with nearly a quarter (23%) of UK American Football fans considering purchasing a larger TV screen enjoy and enhance the full matchday experience at home and one in five (20%) are already planning on hosting a Superbowl party in February.

NFL ex-pro and pundit, Jason Bell, pictured with the Samsung 98” 8K TV at Samsung KX, London

LONDON, UK – October 9, 2024 – With the season now in full swing and the London game series underway, the UK has hit peak American Football fever. However, new research by Samsung has revealed that most UK fans are grappling with  the basics of the sport, with more than 4.8 million fans pretending to understand the rules.

As the official TV partner of the NFL, Samsung has therefore teamed up with leading American Football pundit and ex-pro Jason Bell, to create the Jargon Buster Playbook – to help fans with a simple, crystal-clear guide to the most common game phrases. Top misunderstood phrases and rules included ‘Post Up’ (25%), the ‘downs system’ (23%) and what the difference is between the AFC and NFC divisions (24%). Others were even lost on some of the most common terms, with 18% not understanding what a quarterback was. Despite this, two thirds of fans (67%) are happily following each game permanently on the blindside.

The research found that a third (32%) of the UK – more than 17 million – are going to be glued to this year’s hotly anticipated season, with the Kansas City Chiefs setting their sights firmly on the unprecedented accolade of three Super Bowl wins in a row.

Some viewers are getting creative to appear ‘in-the-know’, despite not grasping the rules. Among them, 10% admit to frantically looking up terms on their phones during games, while another 9% simply mimic the cheers around them during crucial plays—anything to fake it til they make it.

The research also found that American Football isn’t alone in leaving fans puzzled. Brits are just as baffled by the rules of sports closer to home, with Rugby (18%), Cricket (15%), and Tennis (12%) topping the list of games they watch without really understanding what’s going on.

Despite the confusion, Brits are still embracing American Football with open arms. 20% are already planning a Superbowl party this season and equally one in five will host a social event at home centred around an in-season game. A further 9% have even upgraded their TV to a larger screen to immerse themselves in the action, with a further 23% considering doing so in the coming months. Nearly a quarter (23%) are also considering upgrading to either 4K or 8K, so they watch tackle and touchdown with perfect clarity.

Jason Bell comments: “With this season set to be one of the most dramatic yet, it’s the perfect time to dive into one of the world’s most thrilling sports in the world. As exhilarating as it is, I know how confusing the terminology can be if you’re new to it, making our new Jargon Buster Playbook the perfect tool to break down the basics of the game so everyone can enjoy it.

“With just the three games taking place live in the UK, most UK fans will need a home setup that delivers a front-row experience to the drama. Whether you’re just starting out or you’re a long-time fan, this guide, paired with the perfect TV at home, will help you feel at the heart of the action all season long.”

Zeena Hill, Director of Marketing for TV/AV at Samsung Electronics in the UK and Ireland, said: “With American Football’s popularity booming across the UK, fans across the nation are searching for the ultimate TV and audio upgrade to elevate their viewing experience at home. Our research uncovered an interesting paradox between the increasing appeal of the game and understanding it.

“So we are working with American Football guru Jason Bell to create this basic jargon buster playbook. This combined with the unique clarity and quality of our TVs means fans can now not only watch every detail for the ultimate immersive experience but also can now relax knowing they understand exactly what’s happening!”

Samsung is the official TV partner of the NFL this season, with the partnership extending across the whole season, culminating at this year’s Super Bowl on February 9, 2025. Samsung’s latest 4K and 8K TVs offer unique AI-enabled features – such as AI Motion Enhancer Pro which sharpens and smooths out object motion to follow every element of the game with consistent clarity – delivering the ultimate at-home viewing experience to watch the thrilling detail of every kick, play, sack and touchdown of one of the biggest sports in the world.

To help fans embrace the action head-on this season, Samsung has also teamed up with DAZN to offer a one-week NFL Game Pass subscription included with the purchase of any Samsung TV. Providing fans with additional access to live NFL games and exclusive content, this further solidifies Samsung’s commitment to delivering top-tier sports entertainment to its customers.

LONDON, United Kingdom – 20th October 2023 – Samsung has introduced a clever feature on Samsung’s TV range^[1] which can reduce energy consumption by up to 12%^[2], helping people save money by cleverly detecting if you are in the room or not and dimming accordingly.

As more people become energy-conscious, consumers are seeking new ways to be mindful of their environmental impact, reduce their carbon footprint and save money where they can. This simple feature can mean saving valuable pounds off your energy bill as it analyses your usage to save you money.

Samsung Electronics, a global leader in the TV industry, has been propelling its commitment towards sustainable tech through a series of new features, including AI Energy Mode.  This feature can be easily accessed through the SmartThings app, Samsung’s integrated and expansive multi-device ecosystem controller, so users can easily lower their energy consumption and monitor their homes’ energy usage – starting with the television.

What is AI Energy Mode?

• A smart energy-saving feature which monitors energy usage in real-time and adjusts to the environment. It works by using the TV’s built-in processor and sensors to analyse viewing environments and ambient light and automatically adjusts relevant settings to save energy.

How do I use it?

• The feature will be powered by Samsung’s SmartThings app, which serves as a remote control for the entire home. Simply open the SmartThings app, activate AI Energy Mode and let the TV’s AI processor handle the rest.
• What’s more, the immersive 3D Map View on the SmartThings app shows a bird’s eye view of the home so users can easily see their devices* at-a-glance to oversee and manage energy consumption.

What does AI Energy Mode do?**

• Environment Adaptive Brightness: The built-in light sensor automatically adjusts screen brightness based on surrounding light conditions. Using advanced motion sensor, the TV automatically dims brightness when it detects no viewer actively for more than two hours.
• Content Adaptive Brightness: Using advanced AI technology, the TV’s processor analyses on-screen motion and dynamically adjusts scene brightness.

What are the benefits?

• Al Energy Mode can reduce energy consumption by 12 percent1, enabling users to take a step towards an eco-conscious future.
• Generate real-time hourly, daily, weekly and monthly records of energy consumption and comparative cost for the specified timeframe. Users can also diagnose usage patterns of the TV and detect situations where they are wasting energy or exceeding a set budget for the month.

[1] AI Energy Mode is available on SmartTV models released in 2023 (CU7000 or higher) and Lifestyle TV models released in 2023 (LS03C or higher).

[2] Based on Neo QLED 8K 65QN800C. Energy consumption results, Al Energy Mode based on internal tests. Energy saving rate is based on internal tests, may vary depending on ambient brightness and content. 12% saving rate is measured in the ambient illuminance 100 lux environment, and in an environment exceeding 120 lux, some of the Al energy saving functions may work, which may reduce the energy saving rate.

*Compatible devices required.

**Energy saving may vary according to model, viewing conditions or types of content. Does not work with gameplay or viewing priority modes. Energy savings based on internal test results and may vary. Requires SmartThings app, Internet connection, and SmartThings enabled devices. Adaptive Brightness will not operate in environments exceeding 80 lux.

LONDON, UK – 30 August 2023 – Over half of Brits (71%) are planning to watch the hotly anticipated rugby tournament from the sofa at home this September.

But when it comes to the big game, new research from Samsung has revealed that 44% of the nation are confused about the new rugby laws that will be introduced. And with over a quarter (27%) of the UK being self-professed sofa refs, there is more of a need than ever this year to understand the updates.

Which is why Former England rugby international and broadcaster Ugo Monye has teamed up with Samsung – for the recently launched 98” Q80C TV – to equip the nation to see clearly, without the need to ‘try’.

The presenter and pundit said: “Millions of people are excited about September’s line-up. And while the new laws are going to shake up the game – getting your head around the regulations is less exciting. But with the help of Samsung’s big TV’s, viewers can supersize their experience and feel like they are in the best seats in the stadium, ready from the comfort of their home for knock-out match analysis. Game on.”

Dan Harvie, Vice-President TV/AV Division, Samsung Electronics UK & Ireland added: “Ultra-large screen TVs are on the rise, as people look to watch more major cultural moments at home with friends and family.  And when it comes to the best way to watch rugby this September – bigger is better – our large screen TVs bring all the excitement of the stadium experience to consumers right from their homes. In fact, our customers are typically upsizing their TVs by an average of 13 inches, which is why we’re producing televisions with 98-inch screens for the first time ever. With the introduction of the new rugby laws, it’s never been a better time to upsize your screen to enjoy all the action up close in the sharpest definition.”

Ugo shares his top tips on the key laws to look out for over the next few weeks:

• Shot Clock: The main law change that rugby fans will notice is the shot clock. Designed to speed up play on the field and stop time-wasting, players have 90 seconds to take a conversion, 60 seconds for a penalty kick. Scrums and lineouts have a time limit of 30 seconds whilst the ball must be released within 5 seconds for rucks.

• Bunker: Another major introduction is the Bunker. Recently trialled at the Summer Nations Series, the match referee will be able to consult the Foul Play Review Official stationed in the ‘Bunker’ if they are unable to determine if a possible incident of foul play isn’t clear or obvious after two big screen replays.

• TMO innovations – Also known as Television Match Official, the TMO is an individual who watches the match action on a TV screen away from the pitch and feeds information to the referee via an earpiece. For this year, TMOs can only interrupt play to investigate serious or dangerous play that the officials have missed.

• Deliberate foul play – Referees can now show a full red card to players on the pitch for intentional foul play. Players that are handed a full red card will not be able to return to the pitch and can’t be replaced.

Samsung’s 98” Q80C TV is the ultimate TV for individuals that want to supersize their entertainment and enjoy all the thrills of the stadium experience at home – perfect for having friends over & group watching all the rugby action. Driven by the Neural Quantum Processor 4K, it uses AI Upscaling technology to enhance image quality to fit a super large screen, enhancing the depth and sharpness of the content allowing you to see every bit of crisp detailing on the pitch.

Introducing 98” QLED Q80C

Dive into the full power of AI with Q80C. Driven by a 4K Neural Quantum Processor, it uses AI Upscaling technology to enhance image quality to fit a super large screen, enhancing the depth and sharpness of the content^[6]. Combine this with Quantum HDR+ technology, delivering superior black and brightness performance allowing you to see every bit of the crisp detailing. Partnering with the 100% colour volume of Quantum Dot, this allows viewers to see even the brightest of scenes and worlds full of over a billion colours. Enjoy only on Samsung screens, vibrant, authentic colours all validated by PANTONE, bursting into life on your screen. If this makes you want to spend hours immersed in your favourite content, you can also help reduce strain on your eyesight by switching to EyeComfort Mode, an intelligent picture setting designed to automatically adjust the screen’s brightness and tone based on a built-in light sensor and sunset to sunrise information. If viewers are watching the TV during evenings, the EyeComfort Mode will enable the blue light level reducer to allow pictures to appear warmer and more comfortable for the eyes.

Q80C’s SuperSlim design fits seamlessly into your home. Its stunning, super slim and near bezel-less design provides an ultra-clear window into your entertainment. An immersive experience is not complete without incredible sound, and despite its SuperSlim design, sound can boom from this TV. Built into the Q80C, Dolby Atmos provides exceptional sound quality allowing viewers to indulge in their favourite shows with a virtual 3D sound experience. Samsung’s Object Tracking Sound Lite lets you feel every beat of the action, elevated by Q-Symphony to orchestrate TV and soundbar in perfect harmony meaning watchers can have the premium sound experience, with sound playing from both the TV and soundbar together.
