He tested three models before launch: the 65-inch R95H RGB Micro LED, S90H OLED and flagship S99H, after earlier CES and South Korea previews.
Empson said the R95H showed strong local dimming, brightness and colour, while the S90H's new Glare Free coating reduced reflections but raised questions over black levels and panel type.
The wall-mountable S99H impressed with bright QD-OLED images and a Frame-like design, as Samsung expands OLED choices and shifts Neo QLED below new RGB Micro LED sets.

Will Samsung's new Micro RGB TVs truly rival OLED in real-world home use, or are the upgrades mostly theoretical?

How might the shift to LG WOLED panels in Samsung's S90H impact color performance and consumer trust in the long run?

With OLED burn-in risks reportedly reduced and longer warranties, is now the safest time ever to invest in OLED TVs?
