Best 2026 Samsung TVs for image processing

#1 Samsung S90H
4.4

Samsung’s processor is capable and often excellent at detail, upscaling and cleanup, but some AI modes can over-brighten or cool the image and are better disabled for accuracy.

Pros: glare resistance, black levels

Cons: Dolby Vision support, color gamut

#2 Samsung R85H
4.2

Processing is generally good with clean sources and HDR, although smoothing and compressed-stream cleanup are weaker areas.

Pros: overall satisfaction, color gamut

Cons: value for money, local dimming performance

#3 Samsung R95H
4.0

Processing is strong at sharpening HD sources and managing the complex RGB backlight. Some automatic enhancements can make natural content look overdone.

Pros: color volume, overall satisfaction

Cons: value for money, color accuracy

#4 Samsung U8000H
4.0

Everyday 4K streams can look clean, but aggressive compression artifacts and poorer sources receive little effective cleanup.

Pros: white balance accuracy, design and appearance

Cons: overall satisfaction, value for money

#5 Samsung S85H OLED
3.6

Processing is competent for everyday sources, and crisp textures help the picture look detailed. Compression cleanup, over-sharpening and aggressive HDR treatment are less consistent.

Pros: black levels, picture quality

Cons: glare resistance, reflection handling

#6 Samsung S95H OLED
3.3

Image processing performs reasonably, although it has limitations that make the experience dependent on settings or usage.

Pros: picture quality, overall satisfaction

Cons: design and appearance, Dolby Vision support

#7 Samsung M80H
3.0

The stronger processor helps selected broadcasts and allows useful enhancements, yet compression cleanup is weak and aggressive settings can look artificial.

Pros: gaming performance, color accuracy

Cons: value for money, overall satisfaction

#8 Samsung 77S90H OLED
3.0

Fine detail is preserved, but compression artifacts are not cleaned up as effectively as on some competing OLEDs.

Pros: black levels, contrast ratio

Cons: Dolby Vision support, stutter handling

#9 Samsung M70H
1.0

Lower-resolution video can remain soft, and weak compression cleanup leaves lower-quality streams looking rough.

Pros: sound quality, picture quality

Cons: value for money, local dimming performance
