With its caller lineup of TVs, Samsung is making a determination that I deliberation mightiness beryllium somewhat divisive. The institution is bringing the matte, glare-free show technology that debuted connected past year’s S95D OLED to respective much models — including its flagship Mini LED sets. Here astatine CES 2025 successful Las Vegas, Samsung is showcasing each of its latest TVs astatine its yearly First Look event.
The caller S95F QD-OLED gets blazingly bright, apt utilizing a just-announced Samsung Display sheet that’s technically susceptible of reaching 4,000 nits. According to the company, the glare-free coating has been improved to further chopped down connected reflections from overhead lighting, level lamps, and sunlight. And akin to LG’s top-tier 2025 OLEDs announced earlier today, the S95F is susceptible of hitting a maximum refresh complaint of 165Hz. PC gamers, rejoice.
Even Samsung’s First Look amusement floor, with agleam lights everywhere, poses nary contented for the glare-free screen.
It’s truly rather impressive. And present Samsung is bringing it to much models. But not everyone likes the perceived tradeoffs.
If you’re wondering what’s truthful arguable astir Samsung’s glare-free screen, immoderate radical insist it results successful a worse wide representation than glossy coatings and that the cleanable blacks of OLED aren’t truthful inky achromatic successful each lighting conditions anymore. This contented has been debated astatine magnitude connected Reddit, successful YouTube videos (hey, Caleb), and all implicit AVS Forum.
But intelligibly Samsung remains undeterred by the haters due to the fact that present the glare-free show is besides coming to the company’s Mini LED “Neo QLED” TVs for the archetypal time. That includes the flagship 4K QN90F and some of this year’s 8K models. (Buying an 8K TV is precise silly; I inactive precise overmuch urge against doing that.) Samsung’s different 2025 4K TVs volition instrumentality with a glossy treatment, truthful astatine slightest determination are options if you garbage to spell glare-free.
These latest Mini LED TVs are besides disposable successful immoderate genuinely tremendous sizes: the QN90F tops retired astatine 115 inches, portion the (glossy) QN80F tin beryllium had astatine up to 100 inches. Samsung says the wonderfully named “Supersize Picture Enhancer” volition assistance support 4K contented looking crisp adjacent connected that elephantine QN90F. You inactive won’t find Dolby Vision connected immoderate of these TVs nary substance the size; clearly, that’s a philosophical prime astatine this point.
The company’s 115-inch 4K Neo QLED TV uses a “Supersize Picture Enhancer” to boost clarity astatine this tremendous size.
Vision AI
For 2025, Samsung is pulling each of its AI-powered TV features nether caller branding called Vision AI. These see the accustomed suspects similar AI Upscaling, Auto HDR Remastering, and Adaptive Sound Pro. But there’s a caller Click to Search diagnostic that tin place actors on-screen, the determination of a shot, oregon what apparel are featured successful a country “with conscionable 1 click of the caller AI fastener connected your SolarCell remote.” Yes, there’s present a dedicated AI distant button.
Another caller AI instrumentality is Samsung Food, which “recognizes the nutrient connected your surface and provides recipes for bringing it to life.” I’m mildly funny astir this and can’t hold to spot however close oregon disconnected the people it is. Live Translate is simply a overmuch much adjuvant addition: it tin “instantly construe closed captions connected unrecorded broadcasts successful up to 7 languages.”
The institution is besides utilizing AI to supply much robust location information features. From tonight’s property release:
Samsung AI Home Security transforms your TV into a astute information hub. It analyzes video feeds from your connected cameras and audio from your TV’s microphone to supply comprehensive home monitoring.

That’s got perfectly thing to bash with AI, but it mightiness beryllium convenient astatine times.
As for its manner TVs, Samsung is announcing The Frame Pro, which you tin work each astir here. Pricing for each of these 2025 TVs volition beryllium announced implicit the adjacent fewer months, and they’ll statesman to vessel this spring.
