Forget about diving for your phone when you have a question while watching your favourite sport, movie or TV show.<\/p>\n
The latest AI-powered TVs unveiled by Samsung Australia in Sydney this week promise to answer the questions for you, without distractions.<\/p>\n
Samsung, which is arguably leading the world in AI in smartphones<\/a> and household appliances like fridges and washing machines<\/a>, has put artificial intelligence front and centre of its premium TV line-up for 2026.<\/p>\n But it\u2019s not AI that is changing, the tech giant, which is celebrating 20 years as the world\u2019s number one TV brand, is massively expanding its Aussie line-up.<\/p>\n It will offer 50 per cent more glare-free TV models than last year, 50 per cent more art TV options and 50 per cent more ultra large displays.<\/p>\n Interestingly though, it seems to have moved away from touting 8K models, sticking with mainly 4K options arguably better suited to Australian internet speeds. <\/p>\n Its biggest model is now a whopping 115 inches with the AI-powered Micro RGB flagship coming with a price of almost $42,000.<\/p>\n Dropping down to the 85 inch version will save more than $30,000 with a RRP of $9999, while the 55 inch version is $2499.<\/p>\n A new 83 inch OLED Samsung TV will sell for $999, while 100 inches of the Neo QLED TV will cost $6999.<\/p>\n For those on a budget, the 2026 TV range starts from $749 for an AI-powered 43 inch Mini LED model.<\/p>\n The full AV line-up includes an expanded portfolio of Wi-Fi speakers and soundbars, including a new Music Studio series, the next generation of powerful Q-Series soundbars, and refreshed Sound Tower models.<\/p>\n Samsung believes its Vision AI Companion (VAC) features will be particularly popular with Australian sports fans<\/p>\n It\u2019s available across 4K and above TVs. <\/p>\n Samsung says it will bring together its broadest range of AI platforms, including Bixby, Perplexity, and Microsoft Copilot, to \u201cmake the TV experience more intelligent and personalised\u201d.<\/p>\n \u201cDesigned to work alongside users as an entertainment companion, VAC can help guide what to watch, what to eat, and what to listen to, extending the role of the TV beyond viewing alone,\u2019\u2019 a Samsung statement said.<\/p>\n \u201cUnlike AI designed for individual devices and users, Samsung Vision AI Companion is purpose-built for the communal TV screen using various LLMs (large language models), including Microsoft Copilot and Perplexity to share visualised, intelligent responses adapted to Australian questions and requests.<\/p>\n \u201cAn upgraded version of Bixby sits at the core of Vision AI Companion which enables more natural dialogue, deeper contextual understanding, and personalised responses.\u201d<\/p>\n
