Samsung’s latest TV has been independently verified to protect your eyes and your sleep — and yes, that means your midnight binge just got a doctor’s note.
We’ve all heard the saying: “screens before bed are bad,.” Yet somehow, I’ve been watching screens to go to sleep after a day of working with the screens for around eight to 10 hours. Well, I might consider switching to Samsung’s micro RGB TVs for both my work and leisure requirements, as they’ve recently got an eye- and sleep-friendly certification.
In a press release, the Korean tech giant has announced that its Micro RGB TV (the R95H model) has received two certifications from VDE (which is a German testing body).
What certifications has the Samsung TV received?
The Samsung TV has received the Safety for Eyes certification and the Circadian Rhythm Display (CRD) certification. Without making things too technical for you, the R95H model has been officially tested to not wreck your eyes or sleep, especially during the hours after sunset, when too much blue light consumption can disturb your sleep cycle.
Here’s how it works. The first certification, Safety for Eyes, takes care of the blue light emissions — the wavelength which is associated the most with eye strain and disturbed sleep — confirming that the television meets the safe thresholds for prolonged viewing sessions.
The second one, Circadian Rhythm Display (CRD) verification goes a step further by confirming that the TV actually mimics the pattern of natural light. The television leans toward producing cooler tones during the day, warmer tones in the evening, and, most importantly, dials down blue light at night.
How do the compatible TVs pull this off?
Basically, it doesn’t force your brain into thinking that it’s noon by producing cool light, when it’s midnight, so that viewing the television doesn’t disrupt your sleep cycle. But how does the TV manage all this?
Well, it’s Samsung’s micro RGB LED architecture that allows the display to make the fine-grained adjustments in the overall brightness and color profile of the screen, with an enhanced level of precision that isn’t present on other models.
While the Safety for Eyes certification is available across the company’s 2026 TV lineup, Circadian Rhythm Display (CRD) is currently available on the premium models.

The LG C5 OLED is a gorgeous, if increasingly niche TV.
For value and practicality, OLED is not the most compelling choice, but for purists it’s still the best choice.
Let’s get this out of the way now. OLED is absolutely undefeated when it comes to contrast and viewing angle. If I had the budget to build a dedicated home theater space in my home, and money was no object, I would be mounting the largest OLED TV I could get my hands on in that space. Something like LG’s 98-inch G5 OLED, which would run me a cool $25,000.
Alas, most of us don’t have that kind of pocket change lying around, and most homes don’t have purpose-built blacked-out home theaters. For most of us with regular living rooms in our homes or apartments, we’re contending with windows, lamps and overhead lights in a space that serves as the living center of our home. This is where our kids watch cartoons, where we catch the big game and where we do family movie nights. I’m increasingly skeptical that OLED is the best choice for most families. MiniLED TVs are cheaper, brighter and nearly as stunning.
Sonos is wading into budget speaker waters with the new Era 100 SL speaker
Sonos stripped out the voice assistant, kept everything that actually matters, and somehow made a better speaker in the process.
The new Era 100 SL is the company’s latest compact wireless speaker, and it’s essentially the Era 100’s quieter sibling: same stellar audio DNA, just without built-in voice control.
No voice assistant means it won’t accidentally order you a pizza mid-playlist, which depending on your willpower is either a bug or a feature. What it will do is sit quietly on a shelf — at 182.5 × 120 × 130.5 mm, it genuinely disappears into a room — and then completely contradict its size the moment you hit play. Under two kilograms, looks like nothing, sounds like considerably more.
YouTube is finally addressing the riskiest side of deepfaked videos
A new tool will help journalists and civic leaders detect AI videos impersonating them.
YouTube is stepping up its fight against one of the most troubling uses of AI: deepfake videos that impersonate real people. The company announced it is expanding its likeness detection technology to a pilot group of journalists, government officials, and political candidates. It’s a move aimed at protecting public figures from AI-generated impersonation.
