LG Electronics’ OLED lineup is now being joined by its first micro RGB and mini RGB TVs, which are rolling out at retailers globally.
The new LG MRGB95B, LG MRGB9M and LG MRGB85B TVs are launching in the U.K., North America, Europe and other regions this week, having been first announced in December last year, just ahead of the 2026 Consumer Electronics Show.
LG is pursuing an alternative strategy to rivals such as Hisense and Sony, which have positioned their new RGB LED TVs as their flagship models this year. Instead, it continues to market its OLED televisions as its flagships, and they have the best picture quality overall, it says.
In addition, LG is splitting its RGB LED TVs into two categories – micro RGB and mini RGB. The LG MRGB95B belongs in the former category as LG’s only micro RGB TV this year, while the MRGB9M and MRGB85B are being marketed as mini RGB TVs. The MRGB95B employs what the company calls “true RGB” technology with red, green and blue LEDs sitting behind the LCD panel, while the other mini RGB TVs only have green and blue LEDs, lacking the red. The green and blue LEDs also cannot operate independently, LG Korea told FlatpanelsHD.
Instead of using a red LED, the two mini RGB models create the red colour using filters. Readers should be aware that Sony also refers to its top RGB LED TVs as “True RGB.”
FlatpanelsHD also said that only the LG micro RGB TV has local dimming zones, with the mini RGB TVs instead using an edge-lit panel. That’s an important distinction too, because while RGB LED can cover more of the BT.2020 colour gamut that measures HDR standards, local dimming zones are the most decisive factor in overall image quality, and are the only way for LCD displays to achieve HDR quality pictures.
From those explanations, it’s clear that the LG MRGB95B is by far the most superior model in LG’s RGB LED TV lineup. It’s equipped with the Alpha 11 video processor found in the company’s flagship OLED models, the G6 and W6 TVs, and it can achieve 330Hz resolution at 1080p or 165Hz at 4K resolution, with 75-, 86- and 100-inch size options available. The 86-inch model is available at multiple stores now, priced at £5,799, while the 100-inch version costs £12,999. There’s no information yet on the cost of the 75-inch model.
As for the MRGB9M, this is a more affordable RGB LED TV that will be sold in 65-, 75- and 86-inch sizes and comes with a ZeroConnect box, but has so far not appeared in any stores we’re aware of, so we don’t have price details yet.
Meanwhile, the MRGB85B is the lowest cost model, which will likely compete with LG’s budget B6 OLED model. It’ll be sold in more sizes, with 50-, 55-, 65-, 75- and 86-inch options available. Prices for the 55-inch model start at £1,299.
