Samsung and LG Set 2026 Micro‑RGB TV Push Ahead of CES

Micro‑RGB backlighting targets brighter, wider‑gamut LCDs to defend the premium tier from Chinese challengers.

Overview

  • Samsung says its 2026 Micro RGB lineup will span six sizes from 55 to 100 inches after first commercializing a 115‑inch model in August.
  • LG will debut its first Micro RGB TV at CES 2026 under the Micro RGB Evo name with Intertek certification for 100% coverage of broadcast, digital cinema and photo standards.
  • Micro‑RGB uses sub‑100‑micrometer red, green and blue LEDs as the backlight, enabling denser local dimming, higher brightness and improved color accuracy versus conventional mini‑LED systems.
  • Hisense and TCL have shown RGB‑based LCDs and Sony is expected to join, with 2026 offerings positioned at large sizes and premium prices.
  • South Korean brands are positioning Micro‑RGB alongside OLED rather than replacing it, while large LCD panel supply remains concentrated in China following LG Display’s exit from the segment.
