Which smart TVs have the clearest, brightest and best picture?

Samsung's commitment to picture quality is evident across its lineup of TVs, all of which have at least 4K Ultra HD resolution (8.3 million pixels). Whether you choose an OLED TV, with its self-emissive pixels offering greater contrast and ‘true’ blacks, or a Neo QLED 8K TV with Quantum Dot technology for vibrant colours, you’re going to have a superior viewing experience.

Most TVs these days use the same sort of technology, but they don’t always apply it in the same way. Models from some cheaper brands might appear to have the same specs as models from premium brands, but it doesn’t mean the image will look identical, or that the user experience will be the same. Generally, you get what you pay for.

It’s worth noting that although modern TVs have at least 4K UHD resolution, most content isn’t streamed or broadcast in 4K (this is where movie buffs turn to 4K Blu-ray). A Samsung 4K TV - or 8K TV - can’t turn lower quality content into 4K or 8K quality, but their upscaling capabilities can enhance the quality of lower-resolution content like full HD or HD TV shows.

Samsung's Neo QLED TVs, like the QN900C, take picture quality to the next level. With Mini LED backlighting, these TVs deliver enhanced brightness, making HDR content truly shine. Coupled with Quantum Dot technology, Neo QLED TVs provide an extensive colour palette for breathtaking visuals. And, thanks to an ultra-slim design and wall-mount compatibility, you can turn your living room into a home theatre without the clutter.

When it comes to TVs, one size does not fit all. The size and layout of your room, as well as your preferences, are important factors, because a huge TV can overwhelm a small room and a small TV can get lost in a large space. From compact 32-inch models to large 85-inch displays, Samsung has screen sizes to suit every home. Samsung's 65 and 75-inch TVs are popular choices for immersive home theatre setups, while the 43 and 55-inch options cater to those seeking a more modest screen size.

Samsung's Smart TVs are optimised for gaming. With features like Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) and variable refresh rates, gaming consoles like PlayStation and Xbox can deliver smooth and responsive gameplay on models like the Q60C QLED and Neo QLED TVs.

Many Samsung TVs incorporate Dolby Atmos, which delivers a more immersive and lifelike audio experience for video games, as well as movies and TV shows, that have been encoded with this advanced audio technology.

Whether you're looking for a top-of-the-line 85 inch QLED, or a smaller and more budget-friendly option, there will be a Samsung TV to suit your needs. In addition to its regular TVs, Samsung has a few specialty models as well. It’s The Frame QLED TV, for example, has picture frame style borders, and displays artworks when not being watched. With weather-resistant durability and anti-glare technology, meanwhile, The Terrace TV is designed to cope with living in your outdoor entertainment area.

Rather than the Android operating system that many smart TVs run on, Samsung uses its own Tizen system in its TVs. With a user-friendly interface and access to a range of smart features and apps, including Netflix, Amazon Prime and Apple TV, it’s simple to access movies and shows on your subscription streaming services. With built-in wifi and Bluetooth connectivity, you can easily connect your Samsung Smart TV to the internet or pair it with compatible sound bars and keyboards. And with voice assistants like Alexa, Google Assistant, and Samsung’s own Bixby, even members of the family too young to type can control the TV (don’t worry, this handy feature can be switched off!).

Other Samsung appliances also run on the Tizen operating system, so if you have a compatible smart fridge, washing machine, dryer, air conditioner or robotic vacuum, you can easily connect them through Samsung's SmartThings platform, and manage them through your TV.
