<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung South Africa has announced the launch of its new Mini LED M70H and Mini LED M80H televisions, expanding its premium TV<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><sup>[1]</sup></span></a> portfolio with powerful new viewing experiences fit for the modern connected home. Combining stunning Mini LED picture quality with Samsung&#8217;s latest Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven innovations, the new range represents the next step in the company&#8217;s vision for more intelligent, personalised and immersive entertainment.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With 20 years Global No.1 TV<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span><sup>[2]</sup></span></a>, Samsung continues to redefine how people experience content at home. The arrival of the Mini LED M70H and Mini LED M80H reinforces this commitment, bringing cutting-edge display technology and advanced AI capabilities to local consumers while laying the foundation for Samsung&#8217;s next chapter in television.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Premium Entertainment Powered by Mini LED Technology</strong></h3>
<p>The new range delivers exceptional picture performance through Samsung&#8217;s advanced Mini LED technology, which uses significantly smaller<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><span><sup>[3]</sup></span></a> LEDs to achieve greater control over brightness and contrast. The result is deeper blacks, brighter highlights, improved detail and enhanced colour accuracy across every scene.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Designed for households that demand premium performance, the Mini LED M70H and Mini LED M80H offer a compelling combination of picture quality, AI features and sleek design, making them ideal centrepieces for modern living spaces. Whether streaming blockbuster movies, enjoying live sport, gaming with friends or watching your favourite series, you can expect a more immersive and lifelike entertainment experience that elevates everyday viewing.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The launch of the new Mini LED range reflects Samsung&#8217;s broader Vision AI strategy, which seeks to transform televisions from display devices into intelligent companions that understand, adapt and personalise experiences for users. Building on the Vision AI roadmap unveiled at CES 2026, Samsung is integrating AI across its television portfolio to create more intuitive interactions, smarter content experiences and enhanced convenience within the connected home.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Mini LED M80H: The Ultimate AI-Powered Football Experience</strong></h3>
<p>Leading the new range is the Mini LED M80H, the flagship model designed to showcase Samsung&#8217;s latest AI-driven entertainment innovations.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The M80H features the new AI Football Mode<a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4"><span><sup>[4]</sup></span></a> (AI Soccer Mode), an artificially intelligent feature developed specifically to enhance football viewing experiences. Using real-time AI analysis, AI Football Mode automatically optimises both picture and sound settings when football content is detected.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This feature intelligently adjusts brightness, contrast and colour to ensure clearer visibility across the pitch while simultaneously remastering audio to recreate the atmosphere and excitement of the stadium. From fast-moving plays and dramatic goals to crowd reactions and commentary, every moment is enhanced to create a more immersive viewing experience.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As football continues to unite fans across South Africa and around the world, AI Football Mode demonstrates how Samsung is using artificial intelligence to make content more engaging, responsive and enjoyable in real time.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h3></h3>
<h3><strong>Mini LED M70H: Premium Mini LED Performance Within Reach</strong></h3>
<p>The Mini LED M70H brings many of the advantages of Samsung&#8217;s advanced Mini LED technology to consumers seeking an accessible entry point into the premium television category.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Delivering exceptional brightness, sharp detail and immersive picture quality, the M70H offers an outstanding entertainment experience across a wide range of content. Whether enjoying family movie nights, catching up on favourite shows or watching live sports, the M70H provides the performance and reliability consumers have come to expect from Samsung. By making advanced Mini LED technology available to more households, Samsung continues to expand access to premium viewing experiences without compromise.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The introduction of the Mini LED M70H and Mini LED M80H marks another significant milestone in Samsung&#8217;s ongoing television innovation journey. The new range reflects Samsung&#8217;s vision for a future where televisions do more than simply display content, but actively enhance, personalise and enrich every viewing experience.</p>

									<description><![CDATA[How to Make Your TV a Smart TV You have a perfectly good TV. The picture quality is fine, the size is right for your room – but it does not stream. Or it]]></description>
																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><span>How to Make Your TV a Smart TV</span></h2>
<p>You have a perfectly good TV. The picture quality is fine, the size is right for your room &#8211; but it does not stream. Or it does, but slowly, with an app library that has not been updated in two years and a remote that takes four button presses to get to Netflix. Sound familiar?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The good news is that turning a basic TV into a smart TV &#8211; or upgrading a sluggish one &#8211; is easier and more affordable than most people expect. The better news is that if you are in the market for a new TV, today&#8217;s smart TVs have matured to the point where a separate streaming device may no longer be necessary at all. Here is how to think through both options…</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-25522 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/2026_Neo-QLED_QN80H_PERS_STAND_Picture-Quality-e1782216283427.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="667" /></p>
<h2></h2>
<h2><span>Option one: add a streaming stick</span></h2>
<p>A streaming stick plugs into your TV’s HDMI port and overlays a full smart platform on top of whatever operating system your TV already has. It is the fastest and most affordable route to a smart TV experience, with devices available in South Africa typically costing between R600 and R2,500 depending on the platform and features on offer.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Streaming sticks have three genuine advantages. First, they receive software updates independently of your TV &#8211; so even as your television ages, the streaming platform stays current. Second, they tend to offer broader app libraries than built-in TV platforms, particularly for international content. Third, they are portable &#8211; you can take them between rooms, to a holiday home, or plug them into a hotel TV abroad.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The trade-off is that a streaming stick is one more device to manage, one more remote to lose, and one more thing drawing power from your wall socket. For older TVs, it is often the right call. For newer ones, the calculation is less clear.</p>
<h2></h2>
<h2><span>Option two: buy a smart TV</span></h2>
<p>Modern smart TVs have come a long way from the slow, app-poor platforms of five years ago. Today&#8217;s flagship smart TVs run dedicated operating systems with fast processors, regular software updates, and native support for every major streaming platform &#8211; including Disney Plus, DStv Stream, Netflix, and YouTube. <span><a href="https://www.samsung.com/za/tvs/tv-buying-guide/what-is-smart-tv/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Here is a full breakdown of what a smart TV actually offers</a> &#8211; including the features that separate a genuinely capable platform from one that just carries the label.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung&#8217;s Tizen operating system, for example, ships with a Universal Guide that aggregates content recommendations across all your streaming services in one place, so you spend less time switching between apps and more time watching. Voice control, SmartThings integration, and regular over-the-air updates mean the TV improves over time rather than aging out of usefulness.<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><sup>[1]</sup></span></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>For South African households with fibre or a strong LTE connection, a mid-range or flagship smart TV purchased in 2024 or later is likely capable enough to replace a streaming stick entirely &#8211; provided the app support for local platforms is confirmed before you buy.</p>
<h2></h2>
<h2><span>The South African streaming landscape matters</span></h2>
<p>Not all smart TV platforms support all South African streaming services equally well. Before committing to either a TV or a streaming device, confirm that the platform you are choosing has native, well-maintained apps for the services you actually use. Showmax and DStv Stream have had inconsistent availability across certain TV operating systems historically &#8211; a point worth verifying for your specific model before purchase.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The local app landscape for streaming sticks varies by platform and changes regularly &#8211; before purchasing, it is worth checking that the device you are considering has current, well-maintained apps for Showmax, DStv Stream, and any other South African services you use. For smart TV buyers, Samsung’s Tizen platform has significantly improved its local app availability in recent years and is worth evaluating specifically against your streaming requirements.<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span><sup>[2]</sup></span></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><span>Which smart TV option is right for you?</span></h2>
<p>If you have a TV that is no more than three years old and already carries a smart platform &#8211; the honest answer is to try it properly before spending money on a streaming stick. Update the firmware, install the apps you need, and give it a week. You may find it is capable enough for your needs.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>If your TV is older, does not have built-in smart features, or has a platform that is no longer receiving updates, a streaming stick is the most cost-effective upgrade available. It will outlast the TV itself and can move with you when you eventually replace the screen.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>If you are buying a new TV, the smart platform should be part of your decision &#8211; not an afterthought. <span><a href="https://www.samsung.com/za/tvs/tv-buying-guide/what-size-tv-should-i-get/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Samsung&#8217;s TV size guide</a> is a useful starting point for matching screen size to your room, and Samsung.com offers free delivery and flexible finance options that make upgrading more accessible than buying through a third-party retailer.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span><img class="aligncenter wp-image-25523 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/2026_OLED_S90H_FRONT_WALL_Glare-Free-1-e1782216406694.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="667" /> </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span>Whether you upgrade with a streaming stick or invest in a new smart TV, the goal is the same: effortless access to the shows and services you love. For South African households, <a href="https://www.samsung.com/za/tvs/all-tvs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Samsung’s latest models</a> rank among the best smart TVs, combining powerful performance with seamless integration of local streaming platforms.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span>To make the right choice, explore <a href="https://www.samsung.com/za/tvs/smart-tv/highlights/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Samsung’s Smart TV guide</a> to understand what a Smart TV really offers, and use the <a href="https://www.samsung.com/za/tvs/tv-buying-guide/what-size-thttps:/www.samsung.com/za/tvs/tv-buying-guide/what-size-tv-should-i-get/v-should-i-get/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TV size guide</a> to match the perfect screen to your space. With free delivery and flexible finance options, upgrading to a smarter entertainment experience has never been easier.</span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span>Samsung has been recognised as the Most Preferred household Refrigerator and Washing Machine Brand in South Africa<sup><a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><sup>[1]</sup></span></a> </sup>, according to the Brand Attitude Survey (BAS) 2025 conducted by Ipsos, a top global market research firm. This is but one of the accolades that underscores Samsung’s strong reputation, influence and the trust that local customers have in its appliances. </span>Samsung believes that this recognition is particularly powerful because it reflects direct consumer preference within South Africa.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span><img class="alignnone wp-image-25515 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/MENA_and_Africa_Kitchen_St_6_2_763243-e1782202738256.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="560" /></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span>Samsung&#8217;s success is driven by its relentless pursuit of innovation and its commitment to meeting the evolving needs of consumers. By combining cutting-edge technology with sleek design and intuitive functionality, Samsung continues to raise it’s standards in the consumer electronics industry.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In another remarkable 2025 achievement highlighted by market research firm Omdia’s report &#8211; Samsung was ranked as the World’s No.1 TV brand<sup><a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span><sup>[2]</sup></span></a> </sup> for the 20th consecutive year; marking two decades as the global innovator in the television industry. Samsung has held the top position in the global TV market since 2006 and; the company recorded a 29.1% share of the global TV market in 2025. For Samsung, the 20 consecutive years of leadership demonstrate its sustained innovation, technological excellence and the ability to continuously meet evolving consumer expectations.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-25516 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/2026_OLED_S90H_FRONT_WALL_Glare-Free-e1782202824545.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="667" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span>Furthermore, Samsung has recently proudly announced that it has maintained its position in the audio-visual sector as the world’s top soundbar brand for the 12<sup>th</sup> year in a row. According to new research from Futuresource Consulting, Samsung captured 21.5% of the global soundbar revenue and 19.7% of unit volume in 2025<sup><a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><span><sup>[3]</sup></span></a> </sup>, continuing its incredible streak that began in 2014.</span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>This milestone, along with two decades of global TV authority &#8211; reinforced Samsung’s position at the forefront of home entertainment. And not only that, </span>this achievement demonstrates strong consumer confidence in the brand&#8217;s audio innovations while also strengthening Samsung&#8217;s capability in delivering premium home entertainment experiences to its customers.</p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>To top things off &#8211; Samsung has also recently retained its position as the world’s No. 1 gaming monitor brand for the seventh consecutive year, continuing a run that started in 2019. According to the latest data from International Data Corporation (IDC), Samsung captured 18.9% of the global gaming monitor market by revenue<sup><a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4"><span><sup>[4]</sup></span></a> </sup> &#8211; reinforcing its premier position in high-performance gaming displays. </span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>Samsung also ranked first in the OLED gaming monitor segment for the third consecutive year, achieving a 26% market share<sup><a href="#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5"><span><sup>[5]</sup></span></a> </sup>. </span>This premium position highlights Samsung&#8217;s commitment to performance, innovation and delivering cutting-edge display technologies for gamers and professionals alike.</p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p>These outstanding accolades provide independent proof of Samsung’s ground-breaking innovation and authority across multiple product categories. With a vision to shape the future of technology, Samsung is committed to pushing boundaries and creating experiences that enrich lives.</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Living spaces are an extension of personal taste and identity, and <span>Samsung</span> is defining the role of the television in that space. Samsung’s latest range of The Frame and OLED TVs invites consumers to see their screens not just as entertainment hubs, but as design statements that elevate the home.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-25268 size-large" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/TV-Lifestyle-assets_Front_KV1-Option-2-1024x469.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="469" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/TV-Lifestyle-assets_Front_KV1-Option-2-1024x469.jpg 1024w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/TV-Lifestyle-assets_Front_KV1-Option-2-1000x458.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/TV-Lifestyle-assets_Front_KV1-Option-2-768x351.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Where Art Meets Innovation &#8211; The Frame</strong></h3>
<p>At the heart of Samsung’s TV design philosophy, one can find The Frame TV &#8211; a television that is more than what meets the eye. Designed to resemble a framed piece of art, The Frame transforms into a curated gallery display when not in use, where users can show anything from timeless masterpieces to personal photography.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With its customisable bezels and slim, wall-flush mounting, The Frame blends effortlessly into various décor styles, whether minimalist, contemporary, or eclectic. The Frame fits into its surroundings with quiet confidence while still delivering brilliant 4K picture quality powered by Samsung Vision AI<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><sup>[1]</sup></span></a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-25269 size-large" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/TV-Lifestyle-assets_Back_KV-1-1024x469.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="469" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/TV-Lifestyle-assets_Back_KV-1-1024x469.jpg 1024w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/TV-Lifestyle-assets_Back_KV-1-1000x458.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/TV-Lifestyle-assets_Back_KV-1-768x351.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Minimalism at its Best &#8211; OLED Elegance</strong></h3>
<p>For those drawn to sleek sophistication, Samsung’s OLED TVs offer a different kind of design magic. Near-bezel-less edges and refined finishes allow these displays to blend easily into a room.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Powered by innovative OLED technology, Samsung TVs deliver remarkable contrast, vivid colour, and immersive depth, all housed within a design that complements rather than competes with the space. The result is a viewing experience that feels both cinematic and effortlessly integrated into modern living spaces.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Whether it’s a carefully curated living room, a bold entertainment space, or a serene bedroom retreat, Samsung’s TV range is crafted to enhance both function and form. These TVs help you add texture, tone, and personality to a room.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="#_ftnref1" name="_ftn1"><span><sup style="font-size: small;">[1]</sup></span></a><span style="font-size: small;"> Samsung Vision AI features are available on 2025 Neo QLED, OLED, QLED (excluding Q6F model) and The Frame as of Q1 2025. Supported models may vary depending on the feature.</span></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. has announced that it has maintained its No. 1 position in the global commercial display market in 2025, marking 17 consecutive years at the top with a 35.2% share by unit sales, according to research firm Omdia.<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><sup>[1]</sup></span></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Since achieving the global No. 1 position in the commercial display market for the first time in 2009, Samsung has continuously strengthened its leadership in the B2B display sector. In 2025, the company reached an all‑time high in annual sales when it shipped more than 2.5 million units.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This sustained performance reflects Samsung’s focus on next-generation signage that combines advanced display hardware with cloud and AI-based solutions in retail, corporate, education and hospitality environments.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung’s B2B display portfolio is built on its commitment to product innovation. Newly launched this year, Samsung Spatial Signage displays striking 3D content in a slim 52mm profile. It has already been recognised with a <a href="https://news.samsung.com/za/samsung-makes-enterprise-debut-at-ces-2026-with-spatial-signage" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CES 2026 Innovation Award</a> in the Enterprise Technology category and an iF Design Award 2026. Going forward, Samsung plans to expand the lineup to include additional sizes.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung’s <strong>Colour E‑Paper</strong> lineup delivers ultra‑low power signage as an alternative to traditional paper posters. The <a href="https://news.samsung.com/za/samsung-showcases-colour-e-paper-and-ai-signage-solutions-at-ise-2025" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>13-inch Colour E-Paper</strong></a> is a commercial display which to applies a bio-resin derived from phytoplankton in its housing.<a href="#_edn1" name="_ednref1"><span>[i]</span></a> The display’s housing consists of 45% recycled plastic and 10% phytoplankton-based bio-resin, allowing the manufacturing process to reduce carbon emissions by more than 40% compared to conventional petroleum-based plastic materials. <a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span><sup>[2]</sup></span></a> Samsung plans to go expand the use of this material across its E‑Paper lineup.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The portfolio also features extra-large format displays designed for high-impact business environments—ranging from the 105-inch QPDX-5K, 115-inch QHFX models to the upcoming 130-inch Micro RGB signage (QPHX model).</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Alongside hardware, Samsung expects to maintain its industry‑leading market position by connecting devices and solutions to provide customers with consistent, integrated experiences. This includes the <strong>Samsung VXT</strong> platform for remote device management and content operations as well as the new <strong>AI Studio</strong> app, which enables easy, signage‑ready video creation from a single product image. <a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><sup>[1]</sup></span></a></p>

<h3></h3>
<h3><strong>Smart TVs for Smarter Living</strong></h3>
<p>More than just a screen, today’s TV has become a central hub for entertainment, productivity, and connection. Samsung’s OLED and The Frame TV ranges are designed with this in mind, offering intuitive features that adapt to users’ needs and preferences.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung Electronics has announced that it ranks as the world’s No.1 TV brand<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><sup>[1]</sup></span></a> for the 20th consecutive year — marking two decades as the global innovator 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’s<span> report</span>, the company recorded a 29.1% share of the global TV market in 2025. This achievement reinforces Samsung’s top position across premium, ultra-large and next-generation display technologies. 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 top position in the segment over $1,500, holding a 52.2% market share.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span><strong>20 Years of Industry-Defining Innovation</strong></span></h3>
<p>Since first reaching the No.1 position in 2006 with its design-led <span><strong>Bordeaux TV,</strong></span> Samsung has consistently innovated to reshape the television industry:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><span><strong>2009:</strong></span> The company accelerated the global transition to <span><strong>LED TVs &#8211; </strong></span>setting new standards for slimmer, more energy-efficient displays.</li>
<li><span><strong>2011: </strong></span>The introduction of <span><strong>Smart TVs</strong></span> further transformed televisions into connected entertainment platforms &#8211; expanding their role beyond traditional viewing.</li>
<li><span><strong>2015: The Serif</strong></span><span> </span>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><span><strong>2017:</strong></span> The company launched <span><strong>The Frame,</strong></span> pioneering the <span><strong>Art TV </strong></span>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 <span><strong>QLED TVs</strong></span> powered by quantum dot technology.</li>
<li><span><strong>2018: 8K TVs</strong></span> delivered four times more the resolution of 4K.</li>
<li><span><strong>2020:</strong></span> Samsung introduced <span><strong>MICRO LED </strong></span>technology, advancing self-emissive display innovation and setting new standards for brightness, contrast and colour accuracy in ultra-large screens.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Through continuous advancements in picture quality, smart functionality and display innovation &#8211; Samsung has played a defining role in establishing today’s premium TV standards.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span><strong>Strengthening its Position in Premium and Next-Generation TVs</strong></span></h3>
<p>Building on its legacy of innovation, Samsung continues to evolve its premium TV portfolio with expanded<span><strong> Micro RGB </strong></span>models, advancing its next-generation display technologies and reinforcing its invention in high-performance screens. The company also continues to enhance its <span><strong>OLED </strong></span>and <span><strong>Neo QLED</strong></span> line-ups, delivering premium picture quality, ultra-large screen options and differentiated display performance.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung is expanding its <span><strong>Mini LED </strong></span>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<span><strong> AI-powered TVs </strong></span>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 ground-breaking technology across multiple price tiers, screen sizes and display innovations.</p>
