    The TV is quietly taking over jobs the AV receiver used to do

    There is a piece at ecoustics arguing the television is absorbing work that used to belong to the receiver, and I think it is right about who it actually affects. Nobody running an Anthem with seven passive speakers and four ceiling channels is unplugging anything this year. The person being...

    Eclipsa Audio is on Samsung TV Plus now, and the demo was a 280-seat room

    Samsung has started running Eclipsa Audio content on TV Plus, which is the first time the format has had anywhere to live outside YouTube. It is IAMF underneath, encoded and delivered through TV Plus channels, and if your set or bar does not support it you quietly get a stereo version instead...

    Samsung's flagship LCD does 4K at 165Hz - who is plugging a PC into an 85-inch?

    Went through the 2026 Samsung range writeup and the number that stopped me was 165Hz. That is the R95H, the new Micro RGB set sitting above Neo QLED, listed at up to 4K/165Hz with VRR, ALLM, FreeSync Premium Pro, G-SYNC Compatible and HGiG. The R85H below it uses the same Micro RGB display...

    Micro RGB, Micro LED, RGB mini LED - Samsung's naming is a mess

    What Hi-Fi has the Samsung R95H going on the bench next week, and the panel tech in it is called Micro RGB. That is not Micro LED, the self-emissive stuff Samsung has been selling at silly money for years. Micro RGB is Samsung's take on the same idea Sony markets as True RGB and most of us have...

    The $247 Samsung U8000H beat the $329 Ember 4-Series across three 4K discs

    Tom's Guide ran a head to head on the two cheapest new TVs they had in the lab, Samsung's 2026 entry level U8000H against Amazon's Ember 4-Series, and I like the method here more than the usual budget TV roundup. Three films off 4K Blu-ray in Filmmaker mode, fed through an HDMI splitter so both...

    RGB mini LED still has not landed in 2026 - can the R95H fix that?

    What Hi-Fi says the Samsung R95H goes on their bench next week, and the way they framed the year matches what I have been muttering since spring: 2026 has been flat. The sets that did well, the Samsung S99H and the LG C6, are refinements of five-star predecessors. Nobody is shocked when a good...

    Samsung's QS90H ditches the subwoofer at $1,000 - but Atmos still wants a Samsung TV

    Engadget put this at 8.8 and the headline is that Samsung finally built an all-in-one bar that does not ship with a wireless sub. Thirteen drivers instead of the eight in last year's QS700F, and the cabinet grew about three and a half inches to fit them. The reviewer went in straight off months...

    HDR10+ Advanced bakes motion smoothing into the metadata, and Filmmaker Mode sits it out

    Digging into what Prime Video and Samsung are actually shipping this month, and the feature list is stranger than the headlines make it sound. HDR10+ Advanced has six listed pieces: enhanced overall brightness, intelligent motion smoothing, local tone mapping, genre based optimization, advanced...

    Disney+ is back to 4K in Europe over VP9, and my Samsung TV is not invited

    So Disney found a way around the injunction, and the answer looks like VP9. Heise reported the codec, and Disney itself has only said it adopted an alternative technology and started restoring 4K UHD. The logic writes itself: HEVC is the thing InterDigital is fighting them over, so out it goes...

    Samsung ships HDR10+ Advanced on Prime Video first, but won't say on what

    So the format war has a first shot fired. Samsung put the announcement out yesterday: HDR10+ Advanced goes live on Prime Video globally sometime this month, and Samsung's 2026 sets are the first hardware to take it. Dolby Vision 2 was announced back in September 2025, a couple of months earlier...

    Samsung S85H is the entry OLED to beat on brightness, the sound is not

    What Hi-Fi have reviewed the S85H and their short version is that it is one of the better entry-level OLEDs they have tested, mainly on brightness. They ran it through their usual peak brightness stress test with Pan, which is mastered at 4000 nits, and reckoned it burns brighter than previous...

    The Pac-Man game in Samsung's Editor's Choice was reselling your bandwidth

    The detail that got me in the Mnemonic write-up isn't that Samsung TV apps were reselling residential bandwidth. It's which app. A Pac-Man game that Samsung itself had put in the Editor's Choice row. Not something sideloaded, not a sketchy IPTV player you had to go hunting for. The store's own...

    With the S95H shipping, is the older S95D and its matte screen the smarter buy now?

    Came across Home Cinema Choice's review of the QE65S95D, which was Samsung's 2024 QD-OLED flagship, and it made me wonder what these are going for now that S95H units are landing in people's houses. The S95D is the one with the matte anti-reflection finish, and that single decision is still the...

    S95H first shipments landing - third gen QD-OLED and the NQ4 Gen3 chip

    First allocations of Samsung's 2026 flagship S95H are reaching dealers, and the headline items are a third generation QD-OLED panel and the new NQ4 AI Gen3 processor. That is about as much hard detail as anyone outside Samsung has right now, so I am going to hold off on the superlatives until...

    8K has gone quiet - Samsung is the only big brand still making the sets

    What Hi-Fi went round the major TV brands asking what is actually happening with 8K and came back with a pile of no comments, a couple of nothing to share right now, and one statement about broader adoption depending on how content and distribution ecosystems evolve. That last one is corporate...
