Not many hours after LG announced its own RGB TV technology, Samsung – which already offers a 115-inch Micro RGB TV – announces that in 2026 it will offer a new premium Micro RGB TV in six sizes.
Samsung’s as-yet-unnamed 2026 Micro RGB TV will come in 55-, 65-, 75-, 85-, 100- and 115-inch sizes, each with individual Micro RGB modules for brighter and more accurate color reproduction, all controlled by a custom chip.
As with the previous 115-inch Micro RGB TV from Samsung, the 2026 series replaces traditional white and blue backlighting with individual red, green and blue modules for a more immersive viewing experience that is easier to control.
Each of these LEDs will be further refined with improved RGB color dimming capabilities. These also achieve 100% BT.2020 wide color spectrum, as certified by VDE.
Each LED module in Samsung’s new TVs is super small, and Samsung chooses this technology to deliver the best possible picture. To do that, it’s not just the Micro RGB LED lights – the company’s special ingredient, if you will, is the processor and image processing.
Samsung’s custom Micro RGB AI Engine chip is being upgraded with a Pro designation – Micro RGB AI Engine Pro – and will offer more control on a frame-by-frame basis. This will likely be deployed in custom imaging technologies to ensure colors remain vibrant and immersive without skewing towards unrealistic levels, while also improving sharpness.
As we should all expect in 2025 and 2026, there is a wide range of AI tools, including 4K AI Upscaling Pro and AI Motion Enhancer Pro, both of which run in real-time.
Arguably even more important on a Micro RGB TV – as it’s about colors that can compete with the best OLEDs and surpass the best mini-LED sets – the Micro RGB AI Engine Pro also includes Color Booster and HDR functions to ensure a vivid visual experience.
It’s safe to say that we’re excited to see how good Samsung’s 2026 Micro RGB TV looks in real life, and whether it impresses us as much as the previous 2025 115-inch model. The new TVs will have the same glare-free screen, which is not only a step above LG’s Micro RGB evo, but also makes it easier to position the TVs. This makes an even bigger impact if you choose one of the larger models. This custom screen coating blocks reflections from artificial and environmental light, and since we’ve tested it on other Samsung TVs, such as the Samsung S95F OLED, one of the best TVs of 2025, it performs very well.
Samsung’s Micro RGB TVs will support Dolby Atmos, as well as Samsung’s own Adaptive Sound Pro and Q-Symphony, the latter of which is particularly useful if you use other Samsung audio devices such as smart speakers or soundbars.
In addition, Samsung has hinted that its entire 2026 TV lineup will support Eclipsa Audio for a surround sound experience — though we’ll have to wait until the 2026 Consumer Electronics Show to find out more.
And if you thought Vision AI was going away, brace yourself: Samsung’s Micro RGB TV will continue to support it in a variety of ways. Using the AI button on the included remote control, you can get contextual search results for voice or text queries, translate audio in real-time, generate wallpapers and even access Perplexity AI on the big screen.
There’s no price or exact launch date yet for Samsung’s 2026 Micro RGB TV, but it’s clear that improvements to individual Micro RGB LEDs and improved processing indicate that the tech giant is committed to the platform and wants to bring it to more households.
The big question, however, is price. Right now, Samsung’s 115-inch Micro RGB TV has a suggested retail price of NOK 299,990, and with multiple sizes – including 55-, 65-, 75-, 85- and 100-inch options – the question becomes how much lower that price can go, especially with changes to the core technology.
This expansion will result in a wider Micro RGB range from Samsung, with a likely flagship model boasting all the latest improvements, the latest chip and the anti-glare finish. We will have to wait for the final details. Still, bringing base Micro RGB technology to a lower price point would be a win, especially as the market becomes increasingly competitive.
Time will tell, but we’ll be testing Samsung’s 2026 Micro RGB TVs at CES 2026 – and who knows, maybe we’ll see Ballie again this year. We expect Samsung’s RGB TVs to hit stores in the coming year, but we’re more unsure about the cute robot.
