Samsung TVs
2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 lineup compared

Samsung is probably the best known and largest TV manufacturer. The Korean company uses almost exclusively VA-LCD panels for its TVs. Thus, all TVs have good black levels and a high contrast ratio. With QLEDs, the Quantum Dot layer is added.

The 2020 Samsung televisions are richly equipped with Dolby Digital, Amazon Alexa and HDR10+. Unfortunately, you have to do without DTS sound formats, Google Assistant and Dolby Vision.

The 2021 lineup brings new QLEDs and, for the first time, the new Neo QLEDs, which use a mini LED backlight. This allows the picture to be illuminated equally strongly, since there are significantly more dimming zones. Thus, a much higher contrast can be achieved, which has a positive effect on the picture quality.

More about TV manufacturer Samsung

Samsung has been the global market leader in TV manufacturing for many years. In the course of the last few years, the company has expanded its product range increasingly. In addition to the use of VA-based screens in various product series such as the QLED or Neo QLED series, since 2022 the portfolio has also included OLED-based TVs, so-called QD-OLED models. 

Not only has the range of models grown to a considerable size, but also the in-house functions, which often cause many question marks among consumers with convoluted marketing terms such as “Quantum Matrix Technology Pro”, “Infinity One Design” or “Neural Quantum Processor”.  

To ensure that you know what you are getting for your money the next time you search through the TV jungle and don’t have to spend a long time looking for lengthy explanations of obscure terms, we have picked out the most important manufacturer-specific features below and provided a brief description for you in alphabetical order.

Samsung TV technologies explained

The so-called air slim design refers to a shape that is quite slim and comparatively flat on the back. Advantage: Models designed this way can be mounted almost flat on the wall in combination with a slim-fit bracket. Additionally, the housing is relatively narrow and is often less than 30 millimetres in depth.

Samsung uses the term Auto Motion Plus to describe motion smoothing. Strictly speaking, this term summarises a series of functions that help you to display fast image sequences more clearly. Current Samsung models have the corresponding options for this in the Sharpness settings.

If a Samsung TV has the Infinity One design, the housing of this model is not only particularly flat, but also completely even on the back. The depth can be significantly less than 20 millimetres. When mounted on the wall, the slim appearance contributes to an more ordinary look.

Based on the Infinity One design, selected Samsung televisions have a so-called Infinity Screen. Of course, the panel is not endless, but has an almost invisible, extremely narrow edge. Depending on the seating position and the distance, the frame around the display is almost unnoticeable.

A special method of motion smoothing is hidden behind this. When activated, the television continuously inserts blank frames between the displayed content. To accomplish this, the backlight is regularly switched off and on again. This creates repeated pauses during playback. As a result, the picture appears clearer. We also speak of this function as black frame insertion.

Since 2021, Samsung has been selling television models called Neo QLED, which have a backlight system based on so-called mini LEDs. This concept is combined with Quantum Dots, see the term QLED. In addition to conventional 4K TVs, this technology is also used in the manufacturer’s more expensive 8K devices.

That’s how Samsung describes its upscaling technology for content that is below 4K or 8K resolutions. It is an AI-based process that adds pixels to the image. This makes it possible to display a comparatively low-resolution image in a higher definition. Lite variants are cheaper and support a refresh rate of only 60 hertz. Other versions support up to 144 hertz, have increased clock rates, can have different graphics units and other additional changes in detail.

As part of the OTS feature, the audio playback takes place on the basis of object tracking. In this case, the sound is arranged through the speakers in a way that the playback is constantly at the current position of the object. However, as the TV device gets bigger, the effect becomes more noticeable. Samsung differs between three performance levels: OTS Lite, OTS+ and OTS Pro. Stereo sound is generally not supported.

Along with selected high-end TVs, Samsung has already been selling a peripheral device labelled “One Connect Box” since 2013. The special feature: All ports, such as HDMI or USB, are located in one central place, which you can position around your TV if necessary. Usually, the additional device is placed on the back of the stand. A smaller slim version was released with the 2021 model year.

TVs called QD-OLED are based on an adapted panel with a self-luminous pixel structure. As with QLED models, nanoparticles are used as an additional element. This allows the devices to combine perfect black, high contrast and a finer colour representation.

If we break down this marketing name into its main components, we first get the “Q” as an identification for the Quantum Dot technology. This provides the TV with additional nanoparticles that act as colour filters and thus ensure a larger colour space. On the other hand, we get “LED” as a reference to the type of backlighting. Note: Conventional QLED TVs do not have mini-LEDs and are partly manufactured by Samsung without the so-called local dimming.

If the Samsung model is promoted with Q-Symphony, it is possible to operate the TV simultaneously as a center speaker within a larger sound system. If you connect a compatible soundbar, the internal speakers of the television do not switch off, but are synchronised with the sound bar. The result is a better surround sound. Bluetooth also ensures a wireless connection between the devices.

An additional marketing term you might come across is Quantum HDR. In general, Samsung uses it to describe the combination of Quantum Dots, see QLED, and an HDR-capable screen. Technically, this basically means more displayable colours and a brighter display. The peak brightness of the panel according to Samsung is indicated by the value at the end. You then only have to multiply this by 100 to get the manufacturer’s specification.

The name Quantum Matrix Technology Pro will mean little or nothing to the average consumer. In fact, it simply refers to the way the background illumination works using extremely small and flat mini-LEDs. Samsung uses this technology in TVs of the Neo QLED series. Compared to conventional QLED models, the light control of the display is more precise. The result is generally a higher contrast value and a deeper black.

This is the name of the in-house Linux-based operating system. Practically all modern Samsung TVs are equipped with this control centre. Each year, a new version is released as part of the new TV line-up. In addition to a large app and streaming offer, many devices have a dedicated gaming hub that is integrated directly into the user interface. The voice assistant Bixby is also at your side if necessary.

Is the brightness increase really worth it?

In mid-July, the company from South Korea announced that it would be increasing the size of the S90C series once again. For the 2023 line-up, the range had already been extended upwards by a 77-inch variant. An additional step in this direction has now been taken. The QD-OLED series, which is still quite new, will be expanded by an 83-inch model – for now on the US market. 

However, only at first glance. If you take a closer look at the technology underneath, you will be in for a surprise. In order to realise the plan, a cooperation between the electronics company and LG Display is necessary. Until now, however, the LG subsidiary has not produced QD-OLED panels. So without further ado, the company is using a WOLED display of the respective size. 

As a result, the largest model in the series is technically out of line and could cause irritation and disappointment among consumers who like to buy beyond 80 inches. It is not yet clear whether this version will also be available in Europe at some point.

According to South Korean media, panel producer LG Display will deliver the first batches of WOLED displays to Samsung Electronics this month. Although an initial agreement on the cooperation has been reached, general conditions such as the duration of the contract and the volume do not seem to have been finally clarified yet and are currently running on the basis of a trial order. However, no official announcement has been made so far. 

The aim is apparently to supply 77″ and 83″ panels, which are supposed to further expand the QD range in the coming year. For this purpose, Samsung has requested the LG subsidiary to carry out the production according to certain specifications and to realise the production in the South Korean plant in Paju.

This year, Samsung’s line-up will once again get a literal addition. To be precise, this refers to the Q80C series and a 98-inch variant based on Full Array Local Dimming. However, the huge screen diagonal is not entirely new.

The South Korean manufacturer has already launched TVs with such large dimensions on the market in recent years. Most recently the QN100B from the Mini-LED series. In the long run, the TV is supposed to compete against the TCL 4K model of the same size. 

The entry-level price will be a hefty 8,000 euros, but it should be significantly lowered thereafter, making the Q80C a relatively “inexpensive” model in terms of its size.

The TV market seems to be increasingly aware of the fact that 8K devices are lagging behind in terms of sales success for various reasons, and first manufacturers like TCL seem to have finally realized this. Meanwhile, the focus seems to change. Thus, attention could increasingly go to a display that is as smooth as possible and free of streaks.

Instead of additional 8K TVs, which only attract a few consumers, there is now more and more interest in 4K240. However, what has already found its way into monitors would first have to arrive in the TV landscape. Apart from a few exceptions with 144 frames per second, 120 hertz is still the measure of all things. 

At CES2023, for example, Samsung showcased the first OLED-based TV panel with an input signal of native 240 hertz behind closed doors. Laptops and monitors with such a high frame rate were already launched at the end of 2022. An additional will follow later this year. 

TCL will launch a TV with 240 hertz at half the vertical resolution via VRR before the end of this year. Whether LG Display will follow suit at this point is only a question of time. Advantages are mainly in the field of post-next-gen consoles and sports broadcasts.

This year, Samsung plans to add new 4K as well as fresh 8K TVs to its Neo QLED portfolio again. This includes the QN900C, QN800C, QN700C models coming up from the 8K segment and the UHD lineup with with the QN95C, QN90C and QN85C. High-end models will have more dimming zones than their predecessors, further minimizing the blooming effect.

Within the 8K devices, a 12K mini-LEDs backlight will be used with control of up to 1300 zones. Samsung also emphasizes the TVs’ “14-bit processing and AI upscaling,” but only in relation to the backlight controller and not the LCD panel. So far, however, it is unclear whether the TVs will also support HDMI 2.1 QMS.

Samsung will launch two new QD-OLED TVs this year, joining last year’s S95B model. The two new models are named S95C and S90C and are announced by Samsung Display with a peak luminance of up to 2000 nits. The devices are also certified with AMD FreeSync Pro, but still do without Dolby Vision.

At the beginning of this year, the South Korean electronics manufacturer released the so-called Gaming Hub for its 2022 TVs and thus paved the way for cloud gaming directly via the TV without a console. Owners of devices from the 2021 lineup will be also provided with this feature and can download the respective apps from the App Store in the next few weeks. However, the Gaming Hub interface will initially continue to be available exclusively on 2022 models.

Smart TVs that will also feature game streaming in the future: QN700A, QN800A, QN850A, QN900A, WS1A, LS03A, AU7000, AU8000, AU9000, Q50A, Q60A, Q70A, Q80A, QN85A, QN90A and QN95A

More services such as Antstream and Blacknut are expected to follow next year and then be available for TVs starting with the 2021 model year.
