Which Samsung TV should you choose in 2026? The salesperson's guide
From €499.99 to over €6,000, the Samsung range is huge. This guide takes you to the right model for your budget, your room and what you watch, with our real prices. And we also tell you when a model isn't right for you.
- Small budget : Mini LED M74H, from €499.99
- Best value for money : OLED S92H
- Bright living room : S95H or Micro RGB R95H
- PS5 and Xbox : never below the QN80H
The three questions to ask yourself
Before looking at specific models, ask yourself three simple questions. They already rule out half the range.
- What is the light like in your room? A south-facing picture window doesn't need the same TV as a dimly lit lounge in the evening.
- What do you watch? Mostly TV and series, lots of films, sport, video games?
- How far away do you sit? That sets the size, and size weighs heavily on the budget.
The full specs for each series are on our page Samsung range 2026. Here, we get straight to the advice.

By size and distance
Our rule: for 4K, sit at least 1.5 times the screen diagonal away. According to HelloTV, a 65-inch should be watched from 3 m, a 75-inch from 4 m, and an 85-inch or larger from 4.5 m. And "most people buy too small". For details, see what size TV to choose.
| Sofa-to-screen distance | Recommended size | Samsung models to watch |
|---|---|---|
| 1.5 to 2 m | 43 to 50 inches | M74H 43" (499,99 €), QN70H 50" (749,99 €), S92H 42" or 48" for gaming |
| 2 to 2.5 m | 50 to 55 inches | QN80H 55" (1 199,99 €), S92H 55" (1 999,99 €) |
| 2.5 to 3 m | 55 to 65 inches | QN70H 65" (999,99 €), S95H 65" (2 999,99 €) |
| 3 to 3.5 m | 65 to 75 inches | QN80H 75" (1 999,99 €), R85H 75" (2 499,99 €) |
| Over 3.5 m | 75 to 100 inches | QN80H 85" (2 499,99 €), R95H 85" (6 699,99 €), QN80H 100" (3 799,99 €) |
By room
A bright room, a large window
This is Samsung's favourite territory. Choose a model Glare Free : the OLED S95H (the best compromise), the S92H (slightly less bright, but already matte) or the Micro RGB R95H (even brighter on light images, no visible marking). If you like a decorative TV, The Frame also has a matte screen.
A dark room, a cinema corner
Here, theOLED reigns supreme: perfect blacks, no halo around subtitles. The S92H is more than enough in the dark; the S95H brings more brightness in HDR. Glare Free isn't necessary, but it doesn't hurt.
By usage
Films and series
OLED S92H or S95H in 55 or 65 inches. An honest point: if you watch a lot of Netflix or Disney+ and the Dolby Vision matters to you, no Samsung supports it. Films then display in HDR10, which looks great on these models, but a demanding film buff may prefer another brand. Also consider a soundbar: with the S95H, the sound is decent but no more.
Sport
You need a panel native 120 Hz ("100 Hz" on the spec sheets) and good brightness for daytime matches. The QN80H is ideal, in 65 or 75 inches. For families, with seats off to the side, an OLED keeps its colours better than a VA panel. Samsung also offers an automatic football mode on its recent models.
Gaming: PS5, Xbox and PC
| Profile | Our pick | Public price |
|---|---|---|
| Console, small budget | Neo QLED TQ55QN80H (55", 144 Hz, 4 HDMI 2.1) | 1 199,99 € |
| Console, large screen | Neo QLED TQ65QN85F (65", 2025, 144 Hz) | 1 399,99 € |
| Console, OLED | OLED TQ55S92H (55", 165 Hz, Glare Free) | 1 999,99 € |
| PC gaming desk | OLED TQ42S92H (42", 165 Hz) | 1 299,99 € |
| The best | OLED TQ65S95H (65", 165 Hz, very low latency) | 2 999,99 € |
HelloTV measured just 5.7 ms of latency on the S95H in game mode. PS5 and Xbox go up to 120 Hz; beyond that (144 or 165 Hz), only a PC can take advantage. For PC use on an OLED, turn on the screen saver and hide the taskbar. More tips in our gaming TV guide.
Bedroom, kitchen, second TV
The Mini LED M74H in 43 inches (499,99 €) or 50 inches (599,99 €) is perfect: good picture, full Tizen with Auvio, VRT MAX and Netflix. The QN70H 43-inch (599,99 €) adds Neo QLED processing. For a kitchen, the QLED TQ32Q5F Full HD (379,99 €) is enough.
The TV that doubles as décor
The Frame in 55 inches (1 399,99 €) or 65 inches (1 699,99 €), or The Frame Pro in Mini LED (from 1 499,99 €). When switched off, it displays a work of art. Budget for the Art Store subscription if you want a wide choice of artworks.
If you're torn between two sizes, go for the bigger one. And if you're torn between two models at the same price, look at the 2025 end-of-line: the S95F 55-inch at 1 499,99 € is a top-end QD-OLED with Glare Free, cheaper than the 2026 S92H 55-inch. Ask us in store.

- The R85H is not a cheaper R95H for a conservatory : it doesn't have Glare Free. Facing a large window, go for an S95H or an R95H.
- Belgian model names : a review mentioning the S90H, S93H or S94H is about our S92H. Careful, the Belgian S90H has weaker sound (2.1, 40 W). And a US review of the 'S95H' is talking about our S99H.
- Dolby Vision : no Samsung reads it. If it matters to you, let us know.
- Operator apps : there's no Pickx (Proximus) or Telenet TV app on Samsung. You'll keep your set-top box, or use an Apple TV or casting. See Belgian apps by brand.
- Sound : 20 or 30 W on most models. For films, budget for a soundbar, ideally a Samsung to make the most of Q-Symphony.
- An OLED for news channels all day long : it's not ideal, because of static logos. A Mini LED or Micro RGB will be more worry-free.
- The S99H and R95H without a One Connect box : the wireless One Connect is an optional extra, not included. If you want a single cable on the wall, the S95H has it as standard.

Frequently asked questions
Which Samsung should I choose for a very bright living room?
Go for a Glare Free model: the S95H OLED, the S92H or the R95H Micro RGB. Avoid the R85H and QN80H facing a picture window: they're bright, but their screen is glossy.
Which Samsung should I choose for a PS5?
A 120 Hz model with HDMI 2.1: QN80H, R85H or an OLED (S92H, S95H, S99H). The QN70H and M74H are 60 Hz panels: the PS5 works on them, but without 120 Hz mode.
Which Samsung for a bedroom?
The M74H Mini LED in 43 or 50 inches, or the 43-inch QN70H. For a smaller screen, the 32-inch TQ32Q5F QLED will do. Remember to check you have the apps you need.
OLED or Micro RGB at Samsung?
OLED for evening cinema, perfect blacks and viewing angles. Micro RGB for a very bright room, very large sizes, lots of TV hours per day and zero risk of burn-in.
Should you buy a 2025 model at the end of its run?
Often, yes. The 55-inch S95F (€1,499.99) and 65-inch QN85F (€1,399.99) are still excellent TVs, cheaper than their 2026 equivalents. They also receive ongoing Tizen software updates.
What size should I choose?
For 4K, allow a viewing distance of at least about 1.5 times the screen diagonal. A 65-inch is best watched from 3 m away, a 75-inch from 4 m. Most people buy too small.
