The 2023 range includes the S95C and the more affordable S90C and will be the successor to last year's S95B, which 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 among buyers.
Both models feature the next generation quantum dot OLED panel from Samsung Display, also seen on the Odyssey OLED G9 launched yesterday. This new panel has a claimed peak brightness of 2000 nits, although that is only achievable on a 3% window, with more conventional 10% window testing achieving 1500 nits. Samsung's panels also use a standard RGB subpixel layout instead of the WRGB layout used by LG panels where the latter can cause some color saturation issues and near black overshoot artifacts. Despite the increase in brightness, Samsung still claims reduced power consumption owning to better panel efficiency.
Aside from the QD-OLED models, Samsung also announced new LCD-based Neo QLED 8K and 4K models with mini-LED backlight and Samsung's new Neural Quantum Processor with 14-bit processing and AI upscaling. There are also new Micro LED models for 2023, which range from 50-inch to 140-inch in size.
The company also announced an 8K variant of its ultra-short throw laser projector, the Premiere 8K, which can project 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 place two Freestyle projectors to create a wide 21:9 image without manually aligning them. This model will also include the Samsung Gaming Hub.
Samsung's latest Galaxy Unpacked event took place on Wednesday. The company announced several new products during a prerecorded announcement -- the new Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4 smartphones, the Galaxy Watch 5 and Watch 5 Pro, and the Buds 2 Pro wireless earbuds.
Alongside the Z Fold 4, Samsung announced the $999 Z Flip 4 smartphone. The Flip design, as its name implies, flips open vertically, like an old flip phone. But instead of revealing a tiny display on the top and a physical number pad on the bottom, the height of the device holds a 6.7-inch display. When closed, there's a 1.9-inch cover screen on the front of the phone for functions like seeing incoming calls or answering texts.
As for wearables, Samsung announced two new smartwatches: the Galaxy Watch 5 and the Watch 5 Pro. Both models come with Samsung's BioActive Sensor, which has gained a temperature sensor that keeps tabs on your skin's temperature and logs readings in Samsung Health.
Both models are available to preorder right now. The Watch 5 starts at $279 for the Bluetooth model or $329 for an LTE version. The Watch 5 Pro is $449 for Bluetooth or $499 for the LTE model. If you preorder before Aug. 26, you'll get a Wireless Charger Duo, up to $125 off with an eligible trade-in, and a $50 Samsung.com credit.
Finally at the event, Samsung announced a new pair of completely wireless earbuds. The $229 Galaxy Buds 2 Pro feature a revamped, smaller design but retain the key features of premium wireless earbuds.
Features like active noise cancellation and ambient mode either block out all background noise so you only hear what's streaming from your phone to your earbuds, or let in just enough of the ambient noise that you're aware of overhead announcements or nearby traffic as you commute to work, respectively.
Samsung boasts the Galaxy A14 5G will have a longer-lasting battery than its previous models and an upgraded camera, specifically a 13-megapixel front camera and a rear camera with three lenses. The company expects improved depth of detail and color. The 6.6-inch screen features a 90Hz display and upgraded FHD+ resolution.
A new taskbar on the Z Fold 4 shows your favorite apps, while new swiping gestures on the phone make switching between applications more intuitive. The Z Fold 4 screen is also brighter than the Fold 3 and has a higher refresh rate than earlier models, which makes things like scrolling through websites smoother.
With 2021 behind us, TV companies are starting to shift their focus to releasing their 2022 lineups. Like almost everything over the past two years, CES 2022 was held virtually, and most companies announced their new lineups then. Some manufacturers have come out with new technologies, including Samsung's long-anticipated QD-OLED technology and updated OLED panels from LG Display. 2021 was the year of the Mini LED; will 2022 be the year of the Quantum-Dot OLED?
These lists are based on what has been confirmed so far. We'll update them as new details are confirmed, and as new models are announced throughout the year. This list mainly focuses on U.S. models; some lineups may be different in other countries.
Samsung's focus this year is mainly on improving the software that powers their smart TVs, with mainly incremental improvements to most of their lineup. The exception to that is their new QS95B, which is their first Quantum Dot OLED display (QD-OLED), which uses blue OLED panels combined with quantum dot color filters to achieve a brighter image and more accurate colors. Gaming is a definite priority for Samsung this year, as most premium models have new gaming features, including an all-new Gaming Hub, a 144Hz refresh rate, and HDMI 2.1 bandwidth on all four ports. They've also refreshed their Lifestyle TVs, including the Frame, Serif, and Sero. All three models now feature matte finishes to reduce glare, and there are new mounting options for the Frame, including a rotating slim mount.
For the most part, Samsung is keeping with the same model names as last year, substituting 'B' instead of 'A' for the year suffix. They've also added the 'S' lineup for their new QD-OLED displays, starting with the S95B. Unfortunately, there are still some significant differences between U.S. and European models.
Sony announced most of their 2022 lineup at CES 2022. It's an impressive lineup, with multiple high-end models that take advantage of the latest technology, including their first QD-OLED TV, the Sony A95K, and their first two Mini LED TVs: the 8k Sony Z9K and the 4k Sony X95K. All their mid to high-end models use the same processor, the new Cognitive Processor XR, but the entry-level Sony X80K uses the older X1 Processor and is limited to a 60Hz refresh rate and slower HDMI 2.0 bandwidth. According to Sony, all models except the X85K will launch with advanced gaming functionality, including variable refresh rate support, 4k @ 120Hz gaming, and HDMI 2.1 bandwidth on at least two of the HDMI inputs. Sony has also refreshed the remote on their high-end models, including a "Find Remote" feature that works through the TV's built-in voice assistant.
LG also announced most of their 2022 lineup at CES 2022. Most of their models are very similar to last year, with nothing groundbreaking coming out for most of them. They've simplified their lineup a bit, removing the number of sizes some models are available in. LG has upgraded their EVO panel from last year, and the new G2 is supposed to be significantly brighter than last year's, whereas the C2 is advertised to be more efficient, thanks to an improved heat dissipation system. They also plan on releasing OLEDs in new sizes, including a 42" and a massive 97" G2. Unlike Samsung, they don't appear to have any plans to release QD-OLED displays. Not much has changed on their LCD models, as the lineup is nearly identical to the 2021 lineup. Not much is changing with their proprietary smart interface, known as webOS, either, but they're now using the year to identify the software version instead of version numbers. So instead of 2022 models shipping with webOS 7, the new version is now known as webOS 22.
TCL didn't reveal their full 2022 lineup at CES in 2022, instead, they announced a few new models in their "XL" lineup, and showcased some of the new technology they've been working on. Both of the new "XL" TVs announced run Google TV instead of Roku. The X925, or X9 for short, also uses TCL's Mini LED technology, and is much thinner than most TVs on the market. TCL also confirmed that they're working on updated versions of the 5, 6, and 8-Series Roku TVs and that they'll have more to announce in the coming months. Once we hear more about their 2022 plans we'll update this article.
Typically considered to be an entry-level budget brand, Hisense has released more premium models in recent years. They've refreshed their lineup for 2022, updating the specs on most of their 4k models, adding ATSC 3.0 tuners to most models, and updating most of their lineup to the new Google TV smart interface instead of Android TV. Hisense has also expanded their entry-level lineup, adding a larger version of the A6H and a new, smaller TV with a 1080p screen. They've also carried over the U9DG dual cell TV and their only 8k model, the U800GR, to this year. Unfortunately, as with previous years, these Hisense models are only available in North America. Any international models, even those with similar or even identical names, are completely different models.
Vizio has finally started lifting the curtain on their 2022 lineup, which they call their 2023 lineup. As previously announced, the 50" MQX supports up to a 240Hz refresh rate, but only with a 1080p native resolution, making it a great choice for competitive PC gamers. The MQX Series supports 4k 120Hz over HDMI 2.1, but the lower models are all limited to 60Hz and don't support HDMI 2.1 bandwidth.
Panasonic recently announced their new flagship OLED TV - the LZ2000. The successor to last year's popular JZ2000, it's very similar overall, but features an upgraded processor and runs the latest version of Panasonic's proprietary smart interface. Unfortunately, Panasonic TVs aren't currently available in North America, so we're unable to buy and test them.
2022 is shaping up to be an impressive year for the TV industry. Manufacturers seem to be mainly focused on improving and perfecting the new technologies released last year. From wider adoption of Mini LED backlights to the first QD-OLED displays, it should be an exciting year. As processor technology continues to improve, smart features are getting faster and more powerful every year, and it's nice to see manufacturers focusing on improving the overall user experience. Sadly, there are still issues with the global supply chain, so it's likely that TVs this year will be more expensive than previous models, and there may be availability issues as new models are released. 2b1af7f3a8
