Samsung has announced its next generation of QD-OLED TVs for 2023 and will be available in two variants and three sizes using Samsung Displays’ next-generation OLED panel.
The 2023 range includes the S95C and the more affordable S90C and will be the successor to last year’s S95B, which has had a great response from reviewers and customers. The new models feature the same 55-inch and 65-inch sizes as before, but Samsung will now also offer a new 77-inch size, which is becoming increasingly popular with shoppers.

Both models feature Samsung Display’s next-generation quantum dot OLED panel, also seen on the Odyssey OLED G9 launched yesterday. This new panel has a claimed peak brightness of 2000 nits, although this is only achievable on a 3% window, with more conventional 10% window tests hitting 1500 nits. Samsung panels also use a standard RGB subpixel layout instead of the WRGB layout used by LG panels, which can cause some color saturation issues and near-black overshoot artifacts. Despite the increase in brightness, Samsung still claims reduced power consumption thanks to the improved panel efficiency.
Between S95C and S90C, the main difference is in the design. The S95C has a slimmer design thanks to the presence of Samsung’s One Connect Box, while the S90C has a wider bulge on the back to have all connectors integrated.

Both TV variants support 144Hz refresh rate and Samsung Gaming Hub feature. They’re also the first OLED TVs to be certified with AMD’s FreeSync Premium Pro for variable refresh rates and HDR while gaming.
In addition to the QD-OLED models, Samsung also announced new LCD-based Neo QLED 8K and 4K models with mini-LED backlights and Samsung’s new Neural Quantum processor with 14-bit processing and AI upscaling. There are also new Micro LED models for 2023, ranging from 50 inches to 140 inches.
The company also announced an 8K variant of its ultra-short-throw laser projector, the Premiere 8K, capable of projecting a 150-inch image. The compact Freestyle projector also gets an updated model for 2023, with a new Smart EDGE Blending feature that lets you position two Freestyle projectors to create a wide 21:9 image without manually aligning them. This model will also include the Samsung Gaming Hub.
All information on prices and availability will be revealed later.
