Samsung TVs in 2026 — The Full Lineup + Honest Install Take
US #1 by market share — QD-OLED, Neo QLED, and the new Micro RGB.
Samsung sells the most TVs in the US. The 2026 lineup spans QD-OLED at the top (S99H, S95H, S90H, S85H), refreshed Neo QLED (R85H, QN80F), and the all-new Micro RGB R95H — the first US RGB Mini-LED set. Samsung is the only major brand that doesn't support Dolby Vision; the trade-off is the Glare Free 3.0 coating, One Connect cable management, and the Wireless One Connect option on flagship sets.

Samsung-specific install notes
[Rick — drop your Samsung-specific install notes here. Warranty experience (RMAs, response time, support quality), common DOA / defect patterns you've seen, panel uniformity reality (banding, vignetting, bright corners), which model in the lineup actually delivers the best value vs. what's overpriced, and any installer-only gotchas that buyers wouldn't know (HDMI port quirks, software bugs, mounting quirks). 3-6 sentences is plenty.]
