42-inch Samsung TVs – Test Rankings

Available screen sizes: 42”, 48”, 55”, 65”, 83”

Technology: WRGB OLED

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

Samsung S90H is a TV that simply makes a brilliant impression. The combination of OLED’s absolute black, high brightness and excellent motion clarity produces a picture that’s hard to look away from. And that’s exactly what you expect from a good OLED TV. The matte anti-reflective coating also works very well. Reflections on a sunny day become less of an issue, and thanks to the standard polariser...

Verdict:

Samsung QN90F is a television that, in many respects, demonstrates how mature miniLED technology can be developed. It offers excellent contrast and blacks, very high HDR brightness that works well for both movies and games, and a matte screen that makes a significant difference in everyday use. It is this feature that makes the QN90F one of the best televisions for viewing in sunny living rooms – ...

Technology: LCD VA, QLED

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

Samsung Q8F is quite a successful continuation of the Q67D model. It offers similar image quality in HDR content, and with a brightness of around 500 nits, it creates an effect that is hard to call ordinary. The support for the HDR10+ format also helps, which has been competing with Dolby Vision for some time and provides comparable experiences in many productions. The contrast is another plus – f...

Technology: LCD VA, QLED

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

Samsung Q7F is the cheapest model from the manufacturer’s QLED line, and it must be said that several advantages can be pointed out here without any problem. After calibration, the colours look really good, and the additional QLED filter makes the colours more saturated than in typical budget LCD televisions. It also features a VA panel, which offers quite decent native contrast. This is definitel...

Technology: LCD IPS, White LED

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

Samsung U8000F with a VA panel is a television that can pleasantly surprise in its class – of course, if we know what to expect from it. The greatest strength of this variant is definitely the quality of blacks. Compared to the version with an IPS panel, the difference is huge – the image gains depth, contrast looks significantly better, and evening movie sessions no longer resemble watching conte...

Verdict:

Samsung The Frame 2025 is a TV like no other – and even though competition has emerged, it still does it best. The matte display, flush with the wall, and a single thin cable thanks to the One Connect module make the device resemble a painting more than any other screen. The Art Store app still offers the best art scans on the market (even if they are subscription-based), and with interchangeable ...

Technology: WRGB OLED

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

Samsung S90F is an excellent representative of the premium mid-range in the world of OLED TVs. We have an organic matrix here that guarantees perfect contrast – and no matter how much LCD manufacturers try with local dimming in Mini LEDs, this black simply cannot be replicated. The S90F shows its class without any compromises. Compared to last year's model, we get a slightly brighter WOLED panel, ...

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

Samsung DU7192 is a simple and affordable television that is well-suited for everyday use. Thanks to its VA panel, it stands out with good contrast. This is especially important when watching movies in the evening. The blacks are deep, and details in dark scenes are easily visible. It makes a really good impression under dim lighting. After appropriately adjusting the colour settings, the picture ...

Verdict:

Samsung The Frame LS03D (2024) is not just an ordinary TV that you place in the corner and forget about after two days. Right away, it’s clear that the manufacturer aimed for more than just displaying movies. First, the "Art" mode grabs attention – with just a few clicks, we can turn The Frame into a digital gallery, showcasing works that, combined with the matte screen, really resemble a real pai...

Verdict:

Samsung offers two top models with a 4K resolution when it comes to MiniLED technology. In this test, we took a closer look at the not so "fancy" QN95D and QN90D, which we can also find under the name QN92D. Samsung proudly calls its MiniLED televisions the NeoQLED series. Thanks to this technology, the TV offers excellent contrast and high brightness, making movie watching an experience reminisce...
