Samsung Electronics is hosting its 2026 European Tech Seminar in Frankfurt, Germany, from April 15–16, offering media and industry professionals an early, hands-on look at its latest AI-powered TV, display and audio innovations ahead of their global rollout.
Now in its 15th year, the Tech Seminar brings together leading experts to experience Samsung’s newest technologies in a real-world setting. This year’s event focuses on how AI is reshaping the role of the screen — making it more adaptive, responsive and relevant in everyday life.
Across its 2026 lineup, Samsung is expanding AI-powered capabilities to all TV models, reinforcing its commitment to making intelligent, personalized viewing experiences more widely accessible.
▲ Sangmin Lee from Samsung’s Picture Quality Solution Lab introduces the enhanced brightness of the new OLED and its reduced power consumption.
Making the Screen More Helpful With Vision AI Companion
At the center of this year’s seminar is Vision AI Companion (VAC), Samsung’s integrated AI platform designed to make the TV more intuitive and context-aware.
▲ Steffen Greb from Samsung’s ECSO demonstrates the Art mode and explains the Vision AI Companion. Working as an intelligent companion, VAC helps users engage with content more naturally — from surfacing real-time information about what’s on screen to supporting everyday activities such as discovering recipes or planning travel. By connecting entertainment with everyday utility, it extends the role of the TV beyond content into a more central part of the smart home experience.
Samsung’s AI TV lineup elevates movies, sports and gaming with real-time optimization. AI Upscaling Pro sharpens low-resolution content with enhanced clarity, depth and contrast. AI Soccer Mode Pro adapts picture and sound to match the speed and intensity of live play. AI Sound Controller Pro analyzes dialogue, background music and sound effects, letting users fine-tune elements like crowd noise and commentary for a more immersive experience.
Advancing Picture Innovation Across Premium Displays
Samsung continues to expand its leadership in display innovation with its 2026 lineup. At the seminar, the company is showcasing its latest Micro RGB technology, delivering highly precise color control, deeper contrast and a more immersive visual experience.
▲ Olivia Lee from Samsung’s Picture Quality Solution Lab showcases Samsung’s latest Micro RGB technology. Powered by the Micro RGB AI Engine Pro, the display continuously refines color and contrast in real time. It also achieves 100% color coverage of BT.2020, demonstrating highly accurate and lifelike color expression. A 75-inch model on display highlights the scalability of the technology, along with enhanced local dimming performance.
▲ Youngju Oh from Samsung’s Picture Quality Solution Lab introduces a new color evaluation method with the emergence of BT.2020 for 100% Wide Color Gamut Display. Samsung’s 2026 OLED lineup — including the S99H, S90H and S85H — offers expanded options across different viewing preferences, combining deep blacks, rich color and refined design. The flagship S99H features a FloatLayer Design for a lighter, more elevated presence, along with Pantone Validated ArtfulColor for more faithful color reproduction.
To improve viewing comfort across environments, Glare Free technology is now extended to the S90H, helping reduce reflections and maintain consistent picture quality in both bright and dim settings.
Extending Performance Across Gaming Displays and Lifestyle Audio
Samsung is also showcasing its display portfolio beyond TVs with new high-performance gaming monitors and lifestyle audio products. The gaming lineup on display includes the Odyssey G6 OLED gaming monitor (G60FS) with a 500Hz refresh rate, alongside the 32-inch Odyssey G8 (G80HS) featuring 6K resolution — delivering ultra-fast responsiveness and exceptional visual clarity for demanding environments.
In audio, Samsung is expanding its lifestyle portfolio with Music Studio 7 and Music Studio 5, combining immersive sound with design that blends naturally into modern living spaces.
▲ Jin Yoo from Samsung Research America Audio Lab showcases the new Wi-Fi speaker, Music Studio 5. Music Studio 7 features a 3.1.1-channel configuration and enhanced Q-Symphony, enabling more synchronized and immersive sound across connected devices. Music Studio 5 offers powerful audio performance in a more compact form, supported by AI Dynamic Bass Control for deeper, more balanced low frequencies without distortion.
Expanding AI Across the Entire Screen Experience
“This year, we are expanding advanced AI across our full lineup, from premium to more accessible models, while embedding Samsung’s distinctive AI capabilities throughout the entire screen experience,” said Hun Lee, Executive Vice President of Visual Display (VD) Business at Samsung Electronics. “By bringing innovation to picture quality, sound and connectivity, we are redefining what users can expect from AI-powered screens.”
