Samsung just dropped a vision of the future of home entertainment at CES 2026, and it's massive in every sense. The company showcased a 130-inch Micro RGB TV, AI-powered viewing features, and a slew of connected devices designed to transform how people watch, listen, and interact at home. With actor Ahn Hyo-seop helping demonstrate the new tech, Samsung is making a clear statement about where it's heading next.
Samsung just showed the world why it's been the global leader in TVs for 20 years, and it did it with a bang at CES 2026. The company's "The First Look 2026" exhibition in Las Vegas unveiled a dizzying array of home entertainment tech designed to blur the line between your living room and a movie theater. At the center of it all: a 130-inch Micro RGB TV so massive and vivid that it made actor Ahn Hyo-seop, who's built a career delivering emotional performances on screen, stop and genuinely marvel at what a home viewing experience could become.
"When I watch movies at home, there are always moments where I think 'This really should be in a theater.' But with a screen like this, I feel like you could fully immerse yourself at home," Ahn said, standing in front of the gargantuan display. Built with sub-100-micrometer red, green and blue LEDs and a seamless floating-screen design, the TV won CES Innovation Awards 2026 Best of Innovation for good reason. The thing delivers breathtaking clarity and color depth. Samsung paired the cutting-edge Micro RGB technology with refined aesthetics inspired by the company's 2013 design legacy, so it works as both a cinematic display and an object of art in the home. That's the pitch, anyway, and honestly, it's hard to argue when you're standing in front of something that big and that good.
But the real star of the show might actually be the software powering Samsung's new TVs. Vision AI, the company's new suite of intelligent viewing features, tailors picture and sound based on what you're watching and what you like. Ahn was especially drawn to AI Soccer Mode, which uses real-time scene analysis to optimize visuals and sound, enhancing on-screen ball motion and adjusting commentary volume levels to match the moment. Viewers can even interact with the TV in real time to check stats, player bios, and more through Vision AI Companion. "The AI Sports feature caught my eye right away," Ahn said. "I honestly thought this could be the next generation of how we experience sports."
That's the same kind of thinking Samsung applied across its entire CES lineup. The Freestyle+, a new portable projector that's basically stealing the spotlight, features a twice-as-bright display and exclusive AI OptiScreen technology that automatically adjusts for uneven surfaces and colors. named it Best of CES, and for good reason. Pair it with Vision AI Companion for conversational content interaction, and you've got a projector that doesn't just display content, it understands how to present it.
