Overview

  • Samsung will showcase Micro RGB TVs spanning 55, 65, 75, 85, 100 and 115 inches in 2026, with VDE‑certified “Precision Color 100” claiming 100% BT.2020 coverage.
  • LG’s debut Micro RGB evo series arrives in 75-, 86- and 100-inch sizes using the α11 AI Processor Gen 3 and Micro Dimming Ultra with more than 1,000 local dimming zones.
  • LG says Intertek certified the new models for full BT.2020, DCI‑P3 and Adobe RGB gamut coverage, and the 100‑inch version earned a CES 2026 Innovation Award.
  • Both companies plan public demonstrations at CES 2026, though pricing and retail availability timelines remain unannounced; Samsung’s previously released 115‑inch model lists at about $30,000.
  • Micro RGB uses independently controlled red, green and blue micro‑LEDs as the LCD backlight to boost color purity and brightness over mini‑LED, and rivals including Hisense, TCL and Sony are preparing similar 2026 sets.
