Samsung Electronics America has unveiled a brand film starring BTS “SUGA” on October 5. As a Samsung ambassador, SUGA shows how he uses The Freestyle 2^nd Gen, the latest versatile portable projector from Samsung, in his own unique way. The film was unveiled on Samsung social media accounts including its Youtube channel.

In the film, SUGA emphasizes that “You’ve got the freedom to use The Freestyle anytime, anywhere. No others, only SAMSUNG!” as he demonstrates how he enjoys the portable projector.

No matter which option you select, our leading lineup of TVs can help you win the weekend with the best in picture quality, sound and connectivity, so you can get it all done while enjoying the big games.

So which screen is right for you? We can help!

Samsung screens are designed to fit your lifestyle, and we offer the largest screen portfolio in the market. Whether you’re looking for a large screen or small, 8K or 4K, or even a portable entertainment option – we’ve got you covered. And to make the fundamentals easy, you can shop with confidence knowing that Samsung is the #1 global TV brand for 17 years running – and the #1 ranking in overall product quality for TVs and warranty coverage. Enjoy peace of mind knowing Samsung Care covers your TV if something does go wrong – and Samsung TVs also scored highly in satisfaction for screen size, durability, as well as image and sound quality².

Plus, only Samsung delivers added benefits built right in – like Samsung TV Plus — the Samsung free ad-supported TV (FAST) and video on-demand service built into all 2016-2023 Samsung Smart TVs, Galaxy mobile devices, select Family Hub refrigerators and on the web – you can even enjoy access to more than 2,000 channels globally.

More Samsung TVs than ever also come with the Samsung SolarCell remote, an eco-friendly solution that uniquely charges via indoor or outdoor lighting. The remote is expected to save up to 200 million batteries from the landfill over the next seven years³ – not to mention, you won’t need to worry about changing your battery.

Get started with finding your perfect match:

Want a big screen for the big game?
You’re not alone! Last year, 44% of Americans bought a new TV primarily to enjoy the luxury of a larger screen (Circana), with the largest growth in 85-inch+ screens.

James Fishler, Senior Vice President, Home Entertainment & Display Division, Samsung Electronics America adds, “When it comes to choosing the right TV, always choose the highest quality screen that’s right for your lifestyle – and whichever you pick, I suggest considering a larger screen size. Most people are surprised to hear that the recommended viewing distance for a 98-inch 4K TV is just six to 12 feet – making it perfect for medium-to-large living rooms and open layout homes.”

If you’re considering getting a larger screen, but aren’t sure if it will fit your space – check out our handy guide. A quick rule of thumb is to multiply the diagonal length of the TV by 1.2 to determine your ideal viewing distance.  For example, a 98” screen would require 118 inches or 9.8 feet of space between your couch and the TV for optimal viewing.

If that’s what you’re looking for, shop our ultra-large screens – like our Samsung 98” Class Neo QLED 4K (Q80C) and the Samsung 98” Class Neo QLED 8K (QN990C).

Looking for theater-like entertainment with sleek design and smart features?
Check out our family of OLED TVs like the S90C (55”- 83”) and the S95C (55”- 77”) perfect for those seeking the vivid colors and bold contrast that OLED technology delivers. Whether you prefer dramatic thrillers or fantasy football, you can watch your favorite content in a whole new light with these captivating TVs.

Looking for the best in brilliant picture quality, sound and smart features?
Look no further than our iconic Samsung Neo QLED 8K TVs – the QN900C (65”- 85”) and QN800C (65”-85”). These trailblazing TVs don’t just boast amazing tech specs, but also deliver a picture that defies limits, thanks to its Infinity Screen with Slim One Connect Box. They also provide a great way to enjoy your favorite daytime games, even in well-lit rooms – you don’t need to worry that the sun’s glare will distract you from the next big play.

Or, if you’d rather go for a high-end 4K TV – we also offer a full line-up of Samsung Neo QLED 4K TVs – the QN95C (55”- 85”), QN90C (43”- 85”) and QN85C (55”- 85”). Samsung Neo QLED 4K is a whole different deal, offering over a billion shades of color, larger-than-life sound that reacts to the action on screen, and resolution that’s automatically enhanced, no matter what you’re watching.

Hosting outdoors?
Check out The Terrace outdoor TV, now offered in class sizes up to 85”. This screen is perfect for tailgating – whether at the stadium, or your backyard – so you can get fresh air and a view.  The Terrace is uniquely designed to be durable, with the new 85” class model earning an IP56 rating for dust and water protection. Even on the brightest of days, the details will stay crisp all year round thanks to a screen with Direct-Sun Protection⁴.

Looking for the perfect blend of design and style with great picture quality?
The Frame is TV when it’s on, art when it’s off. With Samsung partnering with museums like The Met and the Louvre, you’ll have access to more than 2,300 pieces of art through the Samsung Art Store – and can transform any space in your home into your personal art gallery.

With so many great choices, we get it can be tough to decide. Take our online quiz to find your perfect match – and shop our latest deals while supplies last!

Collaboration between iconic art institution and #1 global TV brand brings iconic works of art from The Met collection into The Frame users’ homes

The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met) is collaborating with Samsung Electronics to bring some of the Museum’s most treasured works of art to millions of Samsung Smart TV screens as digital art. The Samsung Art Store¹—which enables users of The Frame to continuously transform any space by displaying more than 2,300 pieces of digital art, including works from the most renowned artists, museums, and industry tastemakers—is today unveiling a selection of iconic artworks in collaboration with The Met.

Samsung Art Store users can choose from 38 pieces across a wide range of The Met’s storied curatorial departments, including the American Wing, Asian Art, Egyptian Art, European Paintings, Islamic Art, and more. The selected works were chosen by Samsung Art Store Curator Daria Greene. The offering features high resolution digital reproductions of renowned artworks across a variety of cultures and time periods. Select works are currently on view at The Met in New York City.

Samsung Art Store users can display beloved works of art in their homes, including: Edgar Degas’ The Rehearsal of the Ballet Onstage (ca. 1874); Vincent Van Gogh’s Sunflowers (1887); Paul Cézanne’s Still Life with Apples and Pot of Primroses (ca. 1890); and Georges Seurat’s Circus Sideshow (Parade du Cirque) (1887–88). The Frame owners can also display ancient artifacts such as an Egyptian wedjat eye amulet (ca. 1070–664 B.C.), and medieval treasures including The Unicorn Rests in a Garden (1495–1505), the famed French and South Netherlandish textile from the Unicorn Tapestries. Celebrated Japanese artworks such as Katsushika Hokusai’s Under the Mannen Bridge at Fukagawa (ca. 1830–32) as well as Utagawa Kuniyoshi’s Concise Illustrated Biography of Monk Nichiren: Calming the Stormy Sea at Tsunoda in Exile to Sado Island (1835–36) can also be displayed on The Frame. The collection also features several historically significant American artworks like Emanuel Leutze’s Washington Crossing the Delaware (1851).

“Since its founding in 1870, The Met has been dedicated to bringing art and culture to the daily lives of visitors and art enthusiasts around the world,” said Josh Romm, Head of Global Licensing and Partnerships at The Met. “Our collaboration with Samsung activates this mission in a new and modern way, allowing consumers to enjoy iconic works from The Met collection at home. As users explore the selection and choose works to display, this program will create a new dialogue about art, creativity, and technology.”

The Met’s objective to reveal new ideas and unexpected connections across time and cultures through its collections is a fitting collaboration with the Samsung Art Store, one of the largest digital platforms of its kind. Showcasing art from museums and galleries around the world to The Frame users across 42 countries, the Samsung Art Store explores centuries of art, from old masters including Botticelli, Leonardo, Goya, and Van Gogh to contemporary artists such as Shinique Smith and many more through diverse monthly programming.

“The Samsung Art Store is honored to partner with The Metropolitan Museum of Art to bring world renowned artworks into millions of homes worldwide,” said Sang Kim, EVP and General Manager of the North America Service Business, Samsung Electronics. “At Samsung, we’re constantly working to redefine the entertainment experience through technological innovation, and we’re delighted to partner with such an iconic institution to enable users for the first time to enjoy The Met’s culturally significant works of art via a modern digital canvas from the comfort of their homes.”

The Samsung Art Store is available exclusively on The Frame by Samsung—a 4K Smart TV with a billion shades of color and a picture frame bezel that delivers vivid, lifelike TV when it’s on and art when it’s off. Its Matte Display drastically reduces light reflections for a canvas-like finish—perfect for showcasing digital collections from the Samsung Art Store along with personal photography and artwork. Users can choose from a collection of picture frame-like TV bezels to customize their space and can upgrade the included slim-fit wall mount to the new auto-rotating wall mount² to display content vertically or horizontally, so all stunning artworks can be viewed exactly as the artist intended.

About the Met

The Metropolitan Museum of Art was founded in 1870 by a group of American citizens—businessmen and financiers as well as leading artists and thinkers of the day—who wanted to create a museum to bring art and art education to the American people. Today, The Met displays tens of thousands of objects covering 5,000 years of art from around the world for everyone to experience and enjoy. The Museum lives in two iconic sites in New York City—The Met Fifth Avenue and The Met Cloisters. Millions of people also take part in The Met experience online. Since its founding, The Met has always aspired to be more than a treasury of rare and beautiful objects. Every day, art comes alive in the Museum’s galleries and through its exhibitions and events, revealing both new ideas and unexpected connections across time and across cultures.

1 A single user subscription for Art Store costs $4.99/month or $49.90/year.
2 The auto-rotating wall mount is sold separately and is compatible with the 2022-2023 models of The Frame in 43”, 50”, 55”, and 65” class screen sizes.

Make room for tall wine bottles, large cartons of leftovers and bulk food purchases by moving the adjustable slide-in shelves that are flexibly designed to fit in just half the fridge. And with all your food neatly stored and readily visible, it’s easier to see what you have and avoid forgetting about items hidden away in a back corner.

Plus, you don’t have to worry about running out of ice or asking guests to bring extra bags – Samsung’s convenient built-in Dual Auto Ice Maker produces both regular cubed ice and smaller Ice Bites that chill your drinks faster[4], so you’ve always got full bins of two different ice options.

You can also monitor and manage your fridge’s power usage right from your phone for convenient sustainable living. Your 32 cu. ft. Mega Capacity 3-Door French Door Refrigerator with Dual Auto Ice Maker comes equipped with Samsung’s SmartThings Energy feature, which lets you view and adjust the power and temperature settings and get energy saving tips and alerts via your SmartThings app.[5].

The 85” Class model is the largest Samsung Terrace yet – now with an upgraded Neo QLED panel, improved weather resistance, Samsung Gaming Hub & more

Update: The Terrace is now available. For the latest deals, visit Samsung.com

Samsung Electronics America, Inc. today introduced the newest addition to the Samsung TV portfolio – the 85” Class Terrace Full Sun. The biggest Samsung outdoor TV yet, this new model delivers outdoor-optimized picture quality, with a Neo QLED 4K screen that can stay bright even on the sunniest days, thanks to Direct-Sun Protection[1], as well as a new IP56 rating for durability. The Terrace will be on display at CEDIA Expo 2023, so home installers can experience the screen firsthand alongside other Samsung custom install (CI) offerings.

“Years ago, TVs were reserved for your living room, either mounted on the wall or in an entertainment center. However, just as people are evolving what they watch and how they watch TV, they are also expanding where they watch. We’re seeing a greater demand for TVs that can be experienced from a variety of non-traditional places, such as while camping, on the ceiling, or even in the great outdoors. The Terrace makes it easy to enjoy your favorite shows, movies, and games – now, on an ultra-large screen – while outside in your backyard,” said James Fishler, Senior Vice President, Home Entertainment & Display Division, Samsung Electronics America. “The Terrace series has also become one of the stars in the Samsung CI portfolio, so it’s only fitting that we’re debuting our largest and best spec’d outdoor TV at the biggest CI event of the year. We can’t wait for attendees to check it out.”

The 85” Class Terrace is available at $19,999 on Samsung.com.

Outdoor Optimized Technology

The new model features an improved Neo QLED panel that allows you to experience incredible 4K clarity with 100% Color Volume for a billion shades of brilliant color that won’t wash out in extreme brightness. With Direct-Sun Protection¹, you can watch TV even in direct sunlight. Plus, it sports an improved IP56 rating that assures protection from water and dust, so you can enjoy your favorite entertainment year-round. The Terrace is complete with a Wide Viewing Angle and Anti-Glare screen that make it easy to watch what you love with nearly no reflections or distractions.

The 85” Class Terrace effectively reduces onscreen motion blur, so everything from your favorite movie scenes to the on-screen action of Sunday football stays smooth. Equipped with the Quantum Processor 4K, the TV can automatically upscale content into 4K, reduce image noise, restore lost detail, and offer crisp definition regardless of the input source, in addition to HDR10+ and support for multiple simultaneous video feeds.

Designed for permanent outdoor installation, The Terrace provides an ultra-large and comprehensive solution for high-end backyard theaters. With an HD Base-T receiver built-in, custom installers can run a single LAN cable to The Terrace to extend HDMI connected devices.[2]

Smart and Improved Features

Also new to this year’s model is support for Samsung Gaming Hub. Gamers can now access their favorite titles from a portfolio of over 3,000 games from streaming partners like Xbox, NVIDIA GeForce NOW, Amazon Luna, Utomik, Antstream Arcade, and Blacknut – no console required.[3] With Auto Game Mode, you can even play faster on a screen that’s optimizing for gaming.

A full smart TV experience, The Terrace runs on the Samsung Tizen operating system, so you can access over 600 apps and control nearby smart devices using SmartThings directly from the TV. It also includes Samsung TV Plus – Samsung’s free ad-supported TV (FAST) and video on-demand service (AVOD), which gives access to over 2,000 channels globally and thousands of on-demand shows and movies.

The 85” Class Terrace includes the Samsung SolarCell Remote, which uses a solar panel for convenient charging, whether it’s located indoors or outdoors. It provides a sustainable alternative to traditional battery-powered remotes, expected to save up to 200 million batteries from landfills over the next seven years.

Mega Capacity Refrigerator line offers up to 32 cu. ft. of storage capacity and the Smart Top Load Laundry pair delivers unrivaled pet hair and odor removal performance

Samsung’s new refrigeration and laundry products offer modern designs paired with smarter, more convenient features for the way people want to live today. The Mega Capacity French Door refrigerator line includes class-leading storage capacity[1] in Samsung’s most popular 3-Door and 4-Door French Door models. The line has unique, energy saving technology and the convenient features that people have come to expect from America’s number one home appliance brand, and the number one refrigerator brand[2].

“We are continually pushing the boundaries of design and innovation to offer appliances that exceed the expectations of our customers,” said Shane Higby, Senior Vice President and Head of Home Appliance Business, Samsung Electronics America. “Our new fridge and laundry products expand our portfolio of appliances that offer elevated designs coupled with super-sized capacity, energy saving features and connectivity that only Samsung can deliver.”

Mega Capacity Fridges Bring Unrivaled Storage and Modern Convenience

Samsung has fully redesigned its most popular line of French Door refrigerators. The new Mega Capacity line features 10% more capacity than previous models[3] to offer the most storage space in the category[4]. The new fridges have a modern, flat-door design that includes 3-Door and 4-Door models in full-depth and expanded options for counter-depth models. The largest 3-Door model offers 32 cu. ft. of storage capacity – America’s largest capacity refrigerator in its class[5]. The largest 4-Door model offers 31 cu. ft. of space.

Mega Capacity models have spacious interiors with convenient features for all your food storage needs, with adjustable slide-in shelving to make room for large and tall items. With more capacity and organization options, you have plenty of room to store more groceries and keep items within easy reach.

The new line of refrigerators also offers the Dual Ice maker with Ice Bites first introduced in Samsung’s Bespoke fridges, located in the freezer drawer. When combined with the external ice dispenser, you can choose from 4 types of ice and get up to 38 more pounds of ice per day.

The entire line is Wi-Fi enabled, making it easy to view and adjust your fridge’s power settings and receive a notification when the door is left open through Samsung’s SmartThings app[6].

The First Samsung Laundry Products Designed for Pet Owners

Nearly three-quarters of U.S. households have at least one pet[7], and those pet owners often take additional steps with laundry chores to remove pet hair and odors. That’s why Samsung is introducing its first laundry pair with Pet Care features to simplify laundry tasks for pet-friendly homes. The new Smart Top Load Washer with Pet Care Solution and the Smart Dryer with Pet Care Dry work together to remove 6 times the pet hair[8] and reduce common pet odors[9].

The Smart Top Load Washer with Pet Care Solution has an innovative wash cycle that creates dynamic water currents to loosen dirt and rinse hair through specially designed dual pet hair filters, trapping hair inside. The filters can easily be removed and cleaned, similar to cleaning laundry lint filters. For heavily soiled items, you can skip the laundry room sink and just scrub and pretreat items with the washer’s built-in Active WaterJet faucet. Save yourself time and effort and wash more pet beds and blankets in a single load, thanks to the Extra-Large 5.4 cu. ft. capacity drum.

Breathe easier and keep your clothing and your pet bedding clean and smelling fresh with Samsung’s Dryer with Pet Care. The dryer uses a dynamic tumbling algorithm specifically engineered to help eliminate unpleasant smells, and when your clothing and pet items require a deeper cleaning, just toss you can use the Steam Sanitize+ setting to remove 95% of pollen from fabric[10], relax light wrinkles and reduce odors.

The laundry pair is Wi-Fi enabled to simplify the process of doing laundry. Get end-of-cycle alerts and remotely start, stop, schedule or delay cycles using the SmartThings app. For added convenience, SmartThings will use Auto Cycle Link to automatically match the wash and dry cycle for optimal cleaning[11].

Energy Saving Appliances for Everyday Sustainability

The Mega Capacity refrigerator line and the Smart Top Load laundry pair are designed to help you conserve energy at home. The appliances are ENERGY STAR® Certified and include advanced energy saving features with SmartThings Energy. SmartThings Energy makes it effortless to monitor and manage your compatible Samsung appliances power usage with energy saving tips and alerts to help lower your electric bill all from your phone. SmartThings Energy is available in the SmartThings app^[12].

Purchase your new appliances with total confidence, knowing they’ll serve you reliably for years to come. Samsung’s Mega Capacity refrigerators come with a 10-year warranty on parts and five years of coverage for labor on the Digital Inverter Compressor, and Samsung’s Smart Top Load Washer with Pet Care Solution runs on a durable and efficient Digital Motor Inverter motor that is protected by the industry’s longest 20-year warranty[13].

Samsung Mega Capacity refrigerators are available in 3-Door and 4-Door French Door configurations, including a Family Hub option. Color options include Fingerprint Resistant Stainless Steel and Black Matte Steel. The line starts at $1999.

The Smart Top Load Washer with Pet Care Solution is available for $1,149 and the Smart Dryer with Pet Care Dry is available in Electric ($1,149) or Gas ($1,249) models. The pair is offered in Brushed Navy and White color options.

The new laundry products will be available in early August, and the Mega Capacity refrigeration line is available now on Samsung.com and at select retailers nationwide.
