Long gone are the days of TVs with boxy hardware, visible pixels and metal antennas that were always fun to elongate and retract when you were a kid. Today, TVs are thinner than framed artwork, can automatically rotate with the click of a remote control and can even let you buy and sell NFTs — all features of Samsung’s latest lifestyle and NEO QLED TVs, in retailers and online in Australia from March 16.
“The innovations Samsung brings to its range in 2022 allows Australians to have not just a TV, but a customisable and personalised screen that can be used to showcase and purchase art, experience content, work, play and connect with their favourite people,” says Jeremy Senior, Samsung Electronics Vice President of Consumer Electronics.
So, which new Samsung TVs are now on offer, and how much will they cost you?
Samsung Neo QLED 8K
This year’s Neo Quantum Processor introduces a new Shape Adaptive Light technology that maximises the brightness and accuracy of shapes on the screen. Samsung’s 2022 Neo QLED also features Real Depth Enhancer, a picture quality algorithm that creates a greater sense of depth and therefore a sense of realism.
Samsung’s 2022 Neo QLED also uses a built-in light sensor and sunset/sunrise information to automatically determine the screen’s brightness and tone. As the ambient light changes, the screen will gradually reduce the amount of light and offer warmer tones, adjusting the blue light levels accordingly. Reducing blue light will allow for a more comfortable viewing experience at night.
Neo QLED’s sound features also got upgraded. Building on OTS (Object Tracking Sound), which directs the sound to move across the room along with the object on-screen, 2022 Neo QLED will take this up a notch with native Dolby Atmos support, making it the industry’s first TV to support Dolby Atmos with upwards and side-firing speakers for three dimensional sound without the need for peripheral devices.
“We are proud to incorporate industry-leading audio technology for an impressive three-dimensional sound experience,” says Senior. “With multi-channel speakers placed throughout the TV, Neo QLED delivers a dynamic sound experience that tracks the actions from all corners.”

Samsung The Frame
The Frame now offers an incredibly realistic art-viewing experience outside of a museum thanks to the anti-glare, low-reflection panel technology featuring an embossed, Anti-Glare Matte Display. It also helps minimise fingerprints and smudges, allowing users to enjoy their favourite artwork in excellent condition.
“As with any living space, light can often be the biggest challenge as reflections can impact the way people view and enjoy art and images,” says Senior. “With this in mind, Samsung has incorporated cutting-edge anti-glare and anti-reflection technology into the newest model of The Frame, The Serif and The Sero, providing a realistic experience for when utilising the TV in Art and Ambient Mode+.” concludes Senior.
