42-inch Samsung TVs – Test Rankings

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

Technology: WRGB OLED

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

The Samsung S90H is a TV that simply makes a superb impression. The combination of an OLED’s absolute black, high brightness and excellent motion clarity gives a picture that’s hard to look away from. And that’s exactly what we expect from a good OLED TV. The matte anti-reflective coating also works very well. Reflections in bright sunlight stop being a major problem, and thanks to the presence of...

Verdict:

The Samsung QN90F is a television that, in many respects, demonstrates how maturely miniLED technology can be developed. It offers excellent contrast and black levels, very high HDR brightness that works well for both films and games, and a matte panel that makes a huge difference in everyday use. It is this feature that makes the QN90F one of the best televisions for watching in sunny living room...

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 can create an effect that is hard to call average. The support for the HDR10+ format also helps, as it has been realistically competing with Dolby Vision for some time and delivers comparable experiences in many productions. The contrast is ...

Technology: LCD VA, QLED

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

The Samsung Q7F is the manufacturer's cheapest model in the QLED range, and it must be said that several advantages can be easily identified here. After calibration, the colours look really good, and the additional QLED filter makes the hues more saturated than in typical budget LCD televisions. Additionally, it features a VA panel that offers quite decent native contrast. It is certainly not at t...

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 biggest advantage of this variant is certainly the quality of black levels. Compared to the version with an IPS panel, the difference is enormous – the image gains depth, contrast looks significantly better, and evening film sessions no longer feel like watch...

Verdict:

Samsung The Frame 2025 is a television unlike any other – and even though competition has emerged, it still does it best. The matte display, flush mounting 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 continues to offer the best art scans on the market (even if they are subscription-based),...

Technology: WRGB OLED

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

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

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

Samsung DU7192 is a simple and affordable television that performs well for everyday use. Thanks to the VA panel, it stands out with good contrast, which is especially important when watching films in the evening. The blacks are deep, and details in dark scenes are well visible. With subdued lighting, it creates a really good impression. After properly adjusting the colour settings, the picture be...

Verdict:

Samsung The Frame LS03D (2024) is not an ordinary television that you can place in the corner and forget after two days. Here, it is immediately evident that the manufacturer has focused on something more than just playing films. First, the “Art” mode captures attention – with just a few clicks, we can turn The Frame into a digital gallery, displaying works that, in combination with the matte scre...

Brand: SAMSUNG

Verdict:

Samsung offers two top models with 4K resolution when it comes to MiniLED technology. In this test, we took a closer look at the perhaps not so "high-end" QN95D, but rather the QN90D, which can also be found under the name QN92D. Samsung proudly calls its MiniLED televisions the NeoQLED series. It is precisely because of this technology that the television offers excellent contrast and high bright...
