Just hours after its rival LG Electronics announced its first RGB LED TV, Samsung Electronics has hit back, revealing that it’s going to massively expand its lineup of Micro RGB TVs next year.
The world’s top TV brand said its 2026 Micro RGB TVs, which have not yet been given an official model name, will come in 55-, 65-, 75-, 85-, 100- and 115-inches, offering consumers a much wider range of options compared to this year’s standalone 115-inch model. Moreover, each one will come with a customised Micro RGB module and advanced chipset to enhance brightness and improve colour accuracy, the company said.
Samsung uses the term MicroRGB to describe its RGB LED display technology, which surpasses traditional Mini-LED. Whereas Mini-LED TVs such as Samsung’s Neo QLED range use a white and blue backlight, RGB LED TVs implement individual red, green and blue modules that are easier to control, expanding the colour range and improving reproduction and accuracy. Each of the LEDs can be further refined with enhanced colour-dimming technology, and this is the secret that will allow the new TVs to achieve 100% coverage of the BT.2020 wide colour gamut, Samsung said.
The LED modules are microscopic in size, and there’s an upgraded Micro RGB AI Engine Pro chip that will provide greater control on a frame-by-frame basis, Samsung promised. It’s likely that Samsung will also implement some proprietary picture-processing technology to make sure the colours remain as natural as possible and retain picture sharpness. The new chip includes a Colour Booster and HDR features to further improve colour accuracy and contrast.
The company also talked about various AI features, including 4K AI Upscaling Pro and AI Motion Enhancer Pro technologies.
We’re certainly very eager to see how Samsung’s new Micro RGB TVs perform with our own eyes and whether or not they’re even more impressive than the already-excellent 2025 model. Samsung said the newer TVs will also come with its Glare Free screen technology, which is a special coating that’s designed to block reflections from ambient light sources, such as the sun or the living room lights.
This video from HDTVTest's Vincent Teoh explains what makes the 2025 Micro RGB TV so amazing:
The new Micro RGB TVs are undoubtedly going to be extremely high-end, and they have all of the premium features one might expect from such models, with HDR10+, Dolby Atmos and Samsung’s proprietary Q-Symphony and Adaptive Sound features. They’re also going to support Eclipsa Audio, which is a rival spatial sound format that Samsung helped to develop.
What we don’t know yet is how much the new Micro RGB TVs are going to cost, but the fact Samsung is going all out with such a wide range of size options suggests that the company really does see this as a kind of OLED-beating display technology and wants to make it more accessible.
The problem is that the existing 115-inch Samsung MicroRGB TV comes with an uber-expensive price tag of £25,000, so it’s questionable how affordable the smaller TVs can really be made. But then again, TV brands are well known for slapping massive prices on jumbo-sized TVs and making smaller versions much cheaper, so there’s hope that the 55-inch and 65-inch models might fall in a reasonable price range.
Expect to find out more about Samsung’s Micro RGB TVs, including details on their specifications, potential prices and availability, next month at the 2026 Consumer Electronics Show.
