Samsung just unveiled its new OLED TVs at CES 2026, including the flagship Samsung S95H OLED TV.
Like the previous model, it comes in 55, 65, 77, and 83-inch sizes, and Samsung promises it’s up to 35% brighter than the previous Samsung S95F, which was already the brightest OLED TV on the market. It will also have a new generation of image processor to help improve the image.
It will also have a metal frame around the bezel and will support Samsung’s Art mode, a first for the company’s OLED TVs.
It’s a real shame to lose this for people who were looking for a super stylish solution, and if Samsung is keeping the price the same for the S95H as it is for the S95F, this feels like a drop in value.
Some PC enthusiasts will welcome the change, however, as the One Connect box has an HDMI bandwidth limitation that could be an issue in some cases (although it made no difference for general TV use).
Samsung takes, but Samsung gives
But it’s not all bad news. This change also means that Samsung is introducing a new option for the S95H: you can optionally purchase and use Samsung’s new Wireless One Connect box and, in doing so, double the number of HDMI ports you have.
The wireless box first appeared on Samsung The Frame Pro and Samsung QN990F TVs last year, and is capable of losslessly streaming 4K 165Hz HDR images to the screen from its range of HDMI connections; It works very similar to the One Connect box, but wirelessly.
But the improvement here isn’t the wireless connection (although some will love that): it’s the fact that you can combine the HDMI ports built into the TV with the Wireless One Connect box.
That means you can have eight (!) full-power HDMI 2.1 ports connected to the Samsung S95H without having to fuss with switching boxes. You’ll have to pay for the privilege, but some people will be happy to offer a truly perfect solution to the HDMI crisis.
I have six devices that I want to connect to the four HDMI ports on my TV at home, for example: a sound bar, two streaming boxes (which serve different purposes), a PS5, a Switch, and a 4K Blu-ray player. It’s a lot, but at the same time it’s not – I’m not. that It’s strange to have accumulated these things over time.
So while my first reaction when Samsung pulled the plug (only) on the One Connect box on the S95H was negative, when the company told me it meant the ability to have eight HDMI ports, all accessible as regular ports in the TV’s menu, I think I’m now on board with the whole thing.
The Samsung S95H doesn’t have a price or release date yet, but Samsung usually releases its flagship OLED TVs in February or March.
