Samsung TVsare so ubiquitous because the company basically has a model and price point for every customer, and Samsung makes some of the best displays available (provided you’re not looking atan LG OLED). For 2024, Samsung made updates to its Neo QLED and OLED lineups, leaning on new and improved chips and AI to tweak what you’re watching on the fly and upscale lower resolution videos to 4K and 8K – because Samsung is still committed to popularizing 8K screens, too.
Whether you’re looking for a gigantic bezel-and-port-less screen or a far more manageable 4K OLED, Samsung has you covered, but if you’re not familiar with what Samsung changed, here’s the rundown.
We coveredSamsung’s 2024 TV lineupduring CES 2024 earlier this year, but at the company’s Unbox and Discover event on Thursday, July 11, 2025, those new TVs finallybecame available for preorder. We’d note that while Samsung announced these as ‘preorders’, the shipping times on the models show a quick turnaround of about a week from Samsung or Amazon, so you won’t have to wait long. Better yet, Samsung is sweetening the deal by throwing in a free 65-inch TV when you purchase a new 2024 model from March 21 to April 11th while supplies last.
Whether you’re looking for a gigantic bezel-and-port-less screen or a far more manageable 4K OLED, Samsung has you covered. To learn more about the company’s free TV deal, what TV you’ll get, and what’s changed with the 2024 models, here’s the rundown.

Samsung Neo QLED 8K TVs
Samsung Neo QLED 8K QN900D
Samsung’s Neo QLED 8K TV has a bezel-less, ultra-thin design and the ability to upscale whatever you throw at it to a smooth 8K picture. It is available in 65, 75, ann 85-inch models.
Available in sizes ranging from 65 to a gigantic 85-inches, the Samsung Neo QLED 8K QN900D is the most premium of the company’s flagship TVs, and it starts at a very high $5,000. The 8K screen is bezel-less and ridiculously thin, thanks to Samsung’s decision to offload a majority of its ports to a breakout “One Connect” box that can be mounted on the back of the TV or discretely stowed in a credenza or media unit. All models also feature Samsung’s NQ8 AI Gen3 Processor for upscaling anything you watch to 8K, since most television shows and movies max out at 4K, and in the case of broadcast TV, even lower resolutions.

That chip also enables features like Samsung’s Real Depth Enhancer Pro, which attempts to create depth between the foreground and background by “[finding] the focal point in each frame and [adjusting] for a fully dimensional picture,” according to its product details. Even if you’re not worried about the QN900D’s AI-powered features, there’s the usual smart TV bells and whistles to consider as well, like Samsung’s Gaming Hub, which bundles game streaming services into a convenient location, support for high-end audio standards likeDolby Atmos, and a 240Hz refresh rate.
Samsung Neo QLED 8K QN800D
Samsung’s cheaper Neo QLED 8K TV has larger bezels and a slightly less slim body but the same skill at playing 8K content and upscaling everything else to fit. It is available in 65, 75, and 85-inch models.
Samsung also sells a cheaper $3,500 version of its 8K TV called the Neo QLED 8K QN800D. It still uses the company’s One Connect Box to keep the TV itself slim, and comes with features like the Samsung Gaming Hub for playing game streaming services, AI upscaling for creating 8K content, and Real Depth Enhancer Pro.
The key difference, other than the price, is that it does have visible bezels and isn’t as razor-thin as the more expensive 8K model, and it maxes out at a 165Hz refresh rate. That doesn’t mean it isn’t a luxurious TV, but it might matter to you, the brave 8K aficionado.
Samsung Neo QLED 4K TVs
Samsung Neo QLED 4K QN90D
Samsung’s Neo QLED 4K can upscaling video content to 4K and comes with the company’s Samsung Gaming Hub and support for Dolby Atmos. It comes in 43, 50, 55, 65, 75, 85, or 98-inch models.
The 4K version of Samsung’s 2024 Neo QLED TV is available in even larger sizes than the 8K version, with 43-inches on the small end and a whopping 98-inches on the big end. Samsung’s Neo QLED 4K QN90D uses the NQ4 AI Gen 2 Processor, and naturally is only capable of upscaling content to a 4K resolution rather than the 8K resolution of the other Neo QLED TVs.
You’ll still get the Real Depth Enhancer Pro and Samsung’s motion smoothing tech for the TVs' 144Hz refresh rate display, though. Not to discount the Samsung Gaming Hub and Dolby Atmos support Samsung includes, but at a certain point, there are vanishingly few ways to differentiate the company’s different TVs.

Samsung Neo QLED 4K QN85D
Samsung’s cheaper Neo QLED 4K TV has nearly all the same features as its more expensive sibling, only with a lower 120Hz refresh rate. It comes in 55, 65, 75, and 85-inch models.
Take, for example, the Samsung Neo QLED 4K QN85D, which has the same processor, AI upscaling, and software features as the more expensive QN90D. Both models also feature physical ports on the bottom and side of the TV rather than a breakout box. The difference between the two is the lower refresh rate on the QN85D. In this case, 120Hz on the QN85D in comparison to 144Hz on the QN90D.
Samsung ‘The Frame’ QLED LS03D
Samsung’s 2024 The Frame is remarkably similar to last years with interchangeable frames, a matte display, and the ability to display the art of your choice when not in use.
Samsung’s The Frame is more of an aesthetic object than a TV meant to offer a high quality viewing experience, but it’s not bad at doing both. Like past models, it supports interchangeable frames to match the decor of your home and create the illusion that it’s just a picture frame and a matte display to cut down on reflections. The TV itself is a 4k QLED display, with a Quantum Processor 4K to upscale content and built-in motion sensors, so the display can dim or turn off when you’re not in the room. The Frame has four HDMI ports, but the focus is the art experience. Art Mode lets The Frame display art in a lower power, low refresh rate mode, and Samsung’s Art Store lets you add new art to your display over time as your mood and tastes change or new art becomes available to view for free.
Samsung 4K OLED TVs
Samsung OLED S95D
Samsung’s high-end 2024 OLED has a super slim design that forces its ports onto a breakout box, while supporting the company’s usual 4K upscaling. It is available in 55, 65, and 77-inch models.
On the low-end of Samsung’s line, the company’s OLED TVs come in two variations. The Samsung 4K OLED S95D uses a similar razor-thin design similar to the Neo QLED 8K displays, where ports physically on the TV body are removed save for a single connector that links to a breakout box that can be easily hid to obscure the usual mess of cables that go into a TV. The S95D also has AI upscaling up to a 4K resolution, the previously detailed depth enhancing feature, Dolby Atmos support, and Samsung’s HDR Pro tech for greater contrast between the light and dark colors on the display.
Samsung OLED S90D
The cheaper Samsung OLED TV has physical ports without the need for a breakout box, supports AI upscaling up to 4K resolution, and has Samsung’s Gaming Hub for streaming games. it is available in 55 or 65-inch models.
The Samsung 4K OLED S90D, meanwhile, actually has ports, and a design that makes it look like a super-thin sheet of glass is glued to a rectangular base. The upscaling, depth enhancing, motion smoothing, and Dolby Atmos you know and love are on this model too, along with software features from Tizen OS, like the Samsung Gaming Hub. A key difference between the S90D and the S95D is that it only supports HDR+, which means it’s technically dimmer than the S95D, and it’s max 65-inch size.
What kind of UHD TV is Samsung giving away for free?
Samsung TU690T Series LED 4K
Samsung’s free TV is from 2022, but its LED display makes it bright enough for most living rooms or bedrooms.
The 65-inch Crystal UHD TU690T TV Samsung is giving away as part of this deal is technically from Samsung’s 2022 line-up, but that doesn’t mean it’s totally out of date, especially for free. It uses a 4K LED panel and has Samsung’s built-in Crystal Processor 4K for upscaling your favorite movies and shows to 4K resolution, so everything stays crisp regardless of what you’re watching. It doesn’t feature local dimming like some of Samsung’s fancier LED-powered displays, but it should still be bright enough for the average spare room or bedroom. The only clear downside of the free TV, besides a slightly lower quality screen, is the limited number of ports. The TU690T only comes with two HDMI ports, which severely limits how many game consoles, streaming sticks, and cable boxes you can connect to it.
