List of Samsung TVs by year of release from 2008 to 2026

As of 2026, Samsung offers several lines of televisions, each with significant technical differences that justify their separate classification. These differences stem from display manufacturing technology; for example, LED displays come in several variants depending on the materials used and the type of backlighting. Laser TVs have not become widely popular due to the need to create special viewing conditions.

Overview of Samsung TV lineups

Over time, Samsung’s TV lineup has undergone a number of significant changes driven by technological advancements.

Between 2008 and 2016, Samsung manufactured both plasma and LED TVs. Plasma models were designated with codes such as PS32A5000, while LED TVs had model numbers such as UN32E7000. Even then, plasma TVs were considered outdated, and only a limited number of models were produced; in 2012, production of plasma TVs was discontinued.

In 2014, Samsung began producing TVs with 4K UHD resolution. An additional letter was added to the model numbers of these TVs to distinguish them from standard Full HD TVs. For example, the UN32HU7000 model became one of the first UHD models. A year later, Samsung released updated premium LED TVs with improved displays and brighter panels. These “super” models, such as the UN40KS7000, were produced from 2015 to 2016 and became the foundation for Samsung’s future line of high-end TVs.

In 2017, Samsung introduced QLED TVs. QLED TVs utilized quantum dot technology (an additional color filter) to improve color reproduction and brightness, allowing the displays to reproduce a much wider range of hues. Most QLED TVs in the 8 and 9 series support a 120 Hz refresh rate and use true 10-bit panels capable of displaying over a billion colors.

It is worth noting the 8K TVs, production of which began in 2018. These models were positioned as the company’s flagship products. However, from the very beginning, most users noted a lack of visual differences when watching video between 8K and 4K TVs. The 8K format proved to be excessive; panels with such high resolution were not in demand. In 2025, production of 8K panels was discontinued, and, as a result, 8K TVs were no longer manufactured.

In 2021, the company continued to develop this technology by launching its Neo QLED TVs. These TVs use Mini LED backlighting combined with QLED panels, which significantly improves contrast and the effectiveness of local dimming. Neo QLED models are easily recognizable by the additional letter “N” in the model number, such as in the QN75QN90D. These TVs are capable of displaying a billion shades of color.

OLED TVs Samasung

Samsung also returned to OLED technology after an unsuccessful attempt in 2014. The OLED S9 TV released that year was extremely expensive, featured a relatively low-quality panel, and failed to gain widespread popularity. As a result, Samsung decided to discontinue OLED TV production and focus instead on developing QLED technology.

Over time, however, the market changed significantly. OLED TV prices gradually decreased and eventually became comparable to those of premium LED TVs, while OLED picture quality continued to noticeably surpass traditional LED displays. Realizing the growing demand for OLED technology, Samsung decided to return to OLED TV production.

Mass production of Samsung OLED TVs began in 2022 with models such as the QN65S95D. Since Samsung develops and manufactures its own OLED panels, the company’s production capacity alone cannot fully satisfy demand. Because of this, Samsung uses both its own QD-OLED panels and WRGB OLED panels supplied by LG, depending on the specific TV model.

Special Editions of Samsung TVs

In addition to its traditional TVs, Samsung launched the LifeStyle line in 2017. These models stand out for their design and functionality. The lineup includes series such as The Frame, designed to display paintings by famous artists or your own photos in standby mode; The Sero, featuring a rotating screen (production has been discontinued); and The Terrace, a TV designed for outdoor use. In 2025, Samsung introduced the LSM7F model from the Movingstyle line—a tablet with a tuner mounted on a stand.

In 2020, Samsung also entered the projector market with its laser projection systems, often referred to as laser TVs. Models such as the SP-LPU9D project a widescreen image onto special screens and serve as an alternative to traditional large TVs. However, these devices have significant limitations in terms of usage, as they can only provide proper viewing conditions in dark rooms. Samsung’s entry into this segment was an attempt to compete in the laser TV market with Chinese manufacturers, who were the first to begin producing such TVs.

Samsung TVs with Micro LED technology are not included in this review. Despite their advanced technology, these models were ultimately discontinued due to extremely high production costs and very high retail prices, which led to low market demand.

From time to time, Samsung releases unusual transitional models that do not follow the standard model number structure, such as the QNX1D. These TVs are typically assembled using components originally intended for earlier models but updated to work with new operating systems. Such TVs usually appear when Samsung has surplus components left over after production adjustments. To distinguish them from regular models, Samsung designates them with the letter “X,” creating hybrid TVs that combine older hardware platforms with updated operating systems.

TVs with Micro RGB Technology

In 2025, Chinese LED display manufacturers developed advanced panels featuring a new type of backlighting. Although advertisements claim that this is “pixel-level backlighting,” that is not actually the case; rather, the backlight LEDs have simply been reduced to an acceptable size. The cost of these TVs is comparable to that of OLED TVs, but in terms of image quality, they still fall short of OLED models.
