Samsung’s 2026 QLED and Mini LED TVs feature an AI Football Mode

Samsung has unveiled four new TV models for 2026 – QLEDs QN80H and QN70H, and Mini LEDs M80H and M70H – which will offer a specialist football mode in time for 2026. World Cup. Prices start at $350.

New QLED The lineup, which includes the QN80H and QN70H, features mini LEDs with quantum dots for more color, and sizes ranging from 43 to 100 inches.

Meanwhile, the M80H and M70H use Mini LED backlighting, and are joint successors to U8000 we reviewed in 2025. The ranges feature “bright, accurate colors combined with cinematic contrast” and will also be available in sizes from 43 to 100 inches. Additionally, Samsung says a new 100-inch M90H will be coming later this year.

Samsung’s AI Football Mode recognizes the on-screen game and optimizes settings for a “stadium-like experience in your living room.” It’s available on all TVs except the M70H, which has a more general football mode.

I’ve seen the AI ​​Soccer mode in action, which is designed to make ball movement sharper and the grass greener. It was like watching TV in Vivid mode, with exaggerated green tones and exaggerated reds. During the brief demo, I found that the ball moved too quickly for me to see if there was any actual benefit to the movement.

All new TVs, except the M70H, include Samsung Vision AI Companion with Bixby. The companion gives you features like the AI ​​audio controller, which lets you raise different parts of the soundtrack – whether it’s dialogue or background noise.

The QN80H, QN70H and M80H feature a 144Hz Motion Xcelerator to support PC gaming, while the M80H adds a 240Hz DLG rate for “faster response times and smoother motion.”

The company also guarantees up to seven years of Tizen OS updates with every TV.
