Samsung Unveils Ambitious Vision for the Future of Television at CES 2026 VD Deep Dive Session
At CES 2026, Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. hosted a fascinating Visual Display (VD) Deep Dive session, where they shared their exciting plans for the future of television. The event, which took place at The Wynn Las Vegas, was led by SW Yong, the President of Samsung's VD Business. It provided a comprehensive look at how Samsung aims to redefine the role of television in contemporary connected homes, building on two decades of market leadership.
As the global landscape for televisions evolves, marked by a growing demand for premium features, larger screens, and smarter user experiences, Samsung unveiled its vision for what lies ahead in the television industry. The company highlighted its commitment to enhancing TV capabilities with next-generation Artificial Intelligence (AI), all while ensuring exceptional picture quality remains a top priority.
The year 2026 is set to be crucial for Samsung's VD business, with advancements such as Micro RGB and OLED technology leading the charge in the premium TV segment. Additionally, the introduction of mini LED technology aims to make premium TV more accessible, while ultra-large displays are expected to elevate the immersive viewing experience both at home and beyond. This comprehensive lineup promises to extend Samsung's cutting-edge screen technology to a broader audience while solidifying the company's reputation for innovation and high performance.
"We are witnessing a significant shift in how viewers engage with their television experience, transitioning from a passive viewing model to one that encourages direct interaction," stated President Yong. "As television continues to evolve, Samsung remains committed to maintaining its influential position by building upon our legacy of hardware excellence year after year."
Enhancing the TV Experience with Vision AI
Central to Samsung's strategy for 2026 is the introduction of the Vision AI Companion (VAC), an innovative intelligent platform that strives to make watching TV more intuitive, conversational, and tailored to individual preferences. VAC is set to be integrated into nearly all of Samsung's television offerings. This platform intelligently monitors what viewers are watching, anticipates their needs, and presents relevant contextual information directly on the screen, effectively transforming the television from a mere display into an active participant in daily life.
By seamlessly embedding AI throughout its ecosystem, Samsung is expanding the television's role beyond simple entertainment, facilitating deeper integration into smart home systems and fostering more meaningful interactions. This direction reflects Samsung's dedication to creating connected experiences that adapt to users, all while ensuring the picture quality and reliability that consumers value.
Revolutionizing Scale, Design & Lifestyle Innovation
During the session, Hun Lee, Executive Vice President (EVP) of VD Business, elaborated on Samsung’s groundbreaking 130-inch Micro RGB TV, showcasing it as a significant technical milestone and underscoring the company’s focus on lifestyle-oriented TV innovation. "As content quality continues to improve, it's only natural for viewers to seek a greater level of immersion," remarked EVP Lee. "In developing our products, Samsung prioritizes the tangible experiences brought about by technologies like VAC, rather than solely focusing on technical specifications."
As Samsung celebrates two decades of being the world's leading TV brand, the VD Deep Dive session conveyed a powerful message: true leadership is achieved through relentless innovation. By merging exceptional hardware quality with intelligent, connected experiences, Samsung is paving the way towards a future where televisions not only provide outstanding picture clarity but also foster smarter, more personalized, and meaningful experiences for households worldwide.
