Co unveiled its 2026 home theatre lineup, aiming to cement its position as the leading TV maker amid intensifying competition and what it described as a shift toward jumbo televisions.The company’s latest LCD-based 4K televisions make use of new display backlighting technology to reproduce a wider range of colours than previous models could manage, it said in a statement Sunday. Samsung is also debuting its next series of high-end OLED TVs as it continues chipping away at LG Electronics Inc’s position as the leading global brand in that category, which offers deeper blacks and punchier contrast than LCDs.

Some of Samsung's new televisions are larger than what was once considered standard, with a few measuring around or above 100 inches. “Super big screens continue to be the fastest-growing TV segment and the market is expected to double in 2026,” the company told reporters last month ahead of Sunday's announcement.
