Summary of Samsung Presents AI-Powered Screen Innovations at Australian Visual Display Tech Summit 2026

Samsung Electronics hosted an Australian Visual Display Tech Summit in Sydney on May 14 and 15, offering local media and industry professionals a deeper look at Samsung’s 2026 range of AI-powered TVs and an early look at its 2026 Odyssey line-up ahead of its global rollout.

 

The Tech Summit offered hands-on demonstrations highlighting how AI enhances picture quality, viewing experiences, and display performance across Samsung’s Micro RGB, OLED, and Odyssey gaming displays.

 

The technologies showcased at the Tech Summit reflect Samsung’s long-standing leadership in the category, with the company ranking as the global TV market leader for 20 consecutive years.[1]

 

 

Micro RGB for Premium Home Viewing

 

A key focus of the event was Samsung’s new Micro RGB TV lineup, led by the flagship 75-inch R95H and Micro RGB R85H models. Designed for premium home viewing, the line-up delivers hyper-realistic and precise colour, deep contrast, and an immersive picture quality.

 

 

Samsung is also expanding Micro RGB technology with screen sizes ranging from 55 to 115 inches, bringing its core strengths — including rich colour, sharp contrast, and refined local dimming — to more home environments.

 

Powered by the Micro RGB AI Engine Pro[2], Samsung’s latest Micro RGB TVs optimise colour and contrast in real time for near life-like detail. The lineup is also certified for a ≥100% BT.2020 colour gamut ratio[3] and includes certified Glare Free technology[4] to reduce reflections for a clearer viewing experience[5]. Features such as Micro RGB Precision Color 100[6] and Vision AI Companion (VAC)[7] further enhance picture quality and personalised viewing.

 

OLED Innovation Powered by AI

 

Samsung’s 2026 OLED lineup combines immersive picture quality, refined design, and intelligent features to elevate the viewing experience. Leading the lineup is the OLED S95H, which delivers brighter OLED performance, advanced HDR processing, and a premium FloatLayer Design that stands out even when the screen is off.

 

VAC brings AI to the center of the screen experience, offering a more natural way to interact with the TV and discover relevant content. Additional Samsung AI features further expand the OLED experience beyond picture quality.

 

AI Upscaling Pro[8] improves low-resolution content by enhancing clarity, depth and contrast, while AI Soccer Mode Pro[9] can optimise picture and sound for soccer and AI Sound Controller Pro[10] gives viewers greater control over voice, music and sound effects.

 

HDR10+ Advanced technology delivers more precise brightness control, improved tone mapping and a more dynamic picture[11]. Combined with certified Glare-Free[12] technology that minimises reflections, the OLED S95H maintains exceptional contrast and sharpness, even in bright spaces.

 

The OLED S95H also features Samsung’s new FloatLayer Design for a lighter, gallery-inspired look. Art Mode and Samsung Art Store[13] allow the TV to function as both a screen and a piece of home décor.

 

 

Shaping the Next Era of Screens

 

“Samsung’s 2026 display lineup combines the features consumers value most in TVs and monitors, including stunning picture quality, thoughtful design and AI features that make screens more personal and intuitive,” said Hun Lee, Executive Vice President of Visual Display (VD) Business at Samsung Electronics. “Across the lineup, Samsung is delivering a more complete screen experience for how people watch, play and work every day.”

 

With its 2026 portfolio, Samsung is expanding advanced screen technologies and AI features across a broader range of products and price points. From home entertainment and gaming to everyday productivity, the lineup reflects a future in which screens are smarter, sharper and more personalised than ever.
