Samsung Neo QLED 2023 TV and new soundbars – now available (AV)

The Samsung Neo QLED 2023 range in 4K and 8K and sizes from 43-85”, and new soundbars are available now.

Beyond making large screen sizes and premium picture quality, openness and connectivity are what set our 2023 TV range apart. We see the role of TVs in 2023 as being a central hub for monitoring and controlling the multitude of digital devices in the home via the integrated Samsung Smart Hub feature.
