Samsung Electronics’ Glare-Free certified TV display technology, featured in its OLED lineup, has won the 2025 Canstar Blue Innovation Excellence Award in Home Entertainment.
The accolade recognises standout innovation in consumer technology, with Canstar Blue judges calling Samsung’s glare-reduction breakthrough a “game-changing” advancement for everyday users.
The technology made its debut in 2024 on the Samsung OLED S95D TV, utilising an embossed coating that scatters ambient light across varied angles and diffusion patterns.
This approach significantly reduces on-screen reflections while preserving Samsung’s OLED TVs’ brightness, object sharpness, and colour accuracy qualities.
“Samsung’s OLED Glare-Free technology, validated by UL certification, stands out for its innovation, making OLED TVs far more versatile for use in bright environments,” said the Canstar Blue judges.
Samsung has expanded the technology’s application across a broader range of 2025 models including the Samsung OLED S95F, Neo QLED 8K QN990F, Neo QLED 8K QN900F, Neo QLED QN90F, The Frame Pro, and The Frame.
Select Samsung monitors have also adopted the technology, such as the Odyssey OLED G8, Odyssey OLED G6, and OLED Smart Monitor M9, bringing anti-glare benefits to Australians using their displays for work, streaming, and gaming.
“Samsung’s Glare-Free certified OLED technology reflects years of research, development and investment, setting a new benchmark for TV design and versatility in the Australian market,” said Phil Gaut, Director – Consumer Electronics, Samsung Australia.
“By addressing the pervasive issue of glare, Samsung has redefined what consumers can expect from their televisions, combining cutting-edge technology with practical benefits to help enhance everyday living.”
The award adds to Samsung’s recent recognition by Canstar Blue, where the company currently holds the Most Satisfied Customers Award – TV, having earned 5-star ratings across Performance, Durability, User Friendliness, and Features & Functionality.
Samsung also secured a second Canstar Blue Innovation Excellence Award in the Laundry Appliances category for its Bespoke AI Heat Pump Combo washer, which judges praised for “its speed and energy ratings, offering improved efficiency and potential time savings compared to other models.”
