The Entertainment Companion zone at The First Look 2026 marked a new chapter in Samsung’s visual display evolution — building on two decades as the world’s No. 1 TV brand. The space was divided into art, gaming and entertainment sections, anchored by the world’s first 130-inch Micro RGB TV and the Vision AI Companion.
Samsung Newsroom stepped inside the exhibition to see how hardware innovation and AI-driven visual intelligence come together to create new immersive experiences.

Micro RGB 130”: CES Innovation Awards 2026 Best of Innovation Winner
The Micro RGB 130” TV made its debut at First Look. Visitors were first struck by its scale, then by the precision of its color reproduction across varied content. Micro RGB 130” also delivers 100% of the BT.2020 wide color gamut, certified by Verband der Elektrotechnik (VDE), to enable more accurate, life-like colors.
As screen sizes grow, maintaining image consistency becomes more challenging. Samsung addressed this with Glare Free technology, enabling uniform image rendering without distracting reflections — a key reason the Micro RGB 130” TV earned a CES Innovation Awards 2026 Best of Innovation honor.

Beyond the technology, the Micro RGB 130” TV’s Timeless Frame design reflects a modern evolution of Samsung’s TV legacy — preserving the Timeless Gallery concept first introduced at CES 2013. The lower edge of the frame meets the floor, creating the effect of a window that blends seamlessly into its surroundings.
The Micro RGB TVs will be available in 100-, 85-, 75-, 65- and 55-inch sizes.

6K Gaming: Immersion on Another Level
Odyssey 3D Monitor
The glasses-free Odyssey 3D 32″ (G90XH6K) — the world’s first 6K 3D gaming monitor — invited visitors to experience their favorite games in new ways. Around 60 games can be enjoyed in 3D including “The First Berserker: Khazan,” “Stellar Blade,” “Lies of P: Overture” and “Mongil: STAR DIVE.”

“I tried gaming in 3D for the first time, and it felt completely new and immersive,” said Jerry Ruiz, a digital content creator from Kennewick, Washington. “Being able to play 3D games without wearing glasses was especially impressive — I don’t think I’ll be able to go back to regular gaming.”
Personalized Entertainment: Tailored to Individual Lifestyles
Tizen
The new Tizen operating system enables personalized recommendations through expanded content discovery. Viewers can access curated programming based on viewing trends and seasonal themes through a simple, intuitive interface.

Samsung extended entertainment beyond watching and listening by inviting visitors to take the mic with Stingray Karaoke on Samsung TV. With microphone connectivity, tambourine effects and applause sounds, the TV transforms into a karaoke system, while features such as echo, reverb and voice tuning recreate the feel of a professional performance. Visitors could also test their skills with Fender Play TV, available exclusively on Samsung TV. The service offers guitar tutorials led by top instructors, along with virtual band sessions through Jam mode.
Available in 30 countries, Samsung TV Plus brings a wide range of entertainment programming — from sports and music to creator content — across more than 3,500 channels and 66,000 video-on-demand titles.
Big Screen, Glare-Free Immersion
The large-display setup demonstrated Samsung’s Glare Free technology, delivering immersive paired with Micro RGB picture quality and spatial audio. The experience reflected Samsung’s vision of the TV as an Entertainment Companion.

Spatial Signage
Samsung also introduced Spatial Signage, a new display form factor that combines detailed 2D content with immersive 3D effects. Using spatial optical technology measuring just 52 millimeters thick, the display creates a pronounced sense of depth — as if an additional layer of space exists within the screen. The system integrates with existing Samsung signage, enabling centralized remote management of both content and hardware.
With life-size 3D effects and vivid visuals, Spatial Signage can be used for advertising, events, artist exhibitions and museum displays.
