BTTR Roundup #73: TVs as art, EVs vs PHEVs and 99 impressive deals

On Wednesday I got the chance to check out Samsung's 2026 lineup of TVs. While Samsung spent quite some time talking about how good its new microRGB TVs are (and from my limited time looking at them, I tend to agree), it was the OLED models that once again captured my eye.

In particular, Samsung had one of its new S95H OLEDs mounted on a wall. This year, Samsung has introduced what it calls a FloatLayer design, which lets the TV get mounted flush against a wall.

It has the effect of framing the TV like a painting, with a silver edge behind the panel and the tiniest bezels on the screen itself.

At the launch event, Samsung had combined that with a piece of art from the Art Store, and I found myself constantly staring at it like I was in a museum. To avoid burn-in, the art shifts a few pixels to the side periodically to ensure the screen is changing, but it's not enough for you to notice unless you're really looking for it.

Friends, I think it might be time to upgrade my old TV...
