Not even a day after LG announced its own RGB TV technology, Samsung – which already offers a 115-inch Micro RGB TV – announces that, by 2026, it will offer a new high-end Micro RGB TV in six sizes.
Samsung’s as-yet-unnamed Micro RGB 2026 TV will arrive in 55-, 65-, 75-, 85-, 100-, and 115-inch sizes, each featuring individual Micro RGB modules for brighter, more accurate colors, all controlled by a custom chip.
As with Samsung’s previous 115-inch Micro RGB TV, the 2026 series replaces the traditional white and blue backlighting with individual red, green and blue modules for a more immersive and easier-to-control viewing experience.
Each LED module in the new Samsung TVs is very small and Samsung opts for this technology to provide the best possible picture. To achieve this, it’s not just about the Micro RGB LEDs – the company’s special sauce, if you will, is the processor and processing.
Samsung’s custom Micro RGB AI Engine chip is being upgraded with a Pro designation – the Micro RGB AI Engine Pro – and will offer more frame-by-frame control. This will likely be deployed in custom image processing technologies to ensure colors remain vibrant and immersive without biasing 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 work in real time.
Arguably more important on a Micro RGB TV – since these are colors that can rival the best OLEDs and outperform the best mini-LED sets – the Micro RGB AI Engine Pro also includes Color Booster and HDR features to ensure a vibrant viewing experience.
It’s safe to say that we can’t wait to see how good Samsung’s 2026 Micro RGB TV is in person and whether it leaves us as impressed as the previous 115-inch 2025 model. The new TVs will feature the same Glare Free display, which is not only a step above LG’s Micro RGB evo, but also makes TV placement easier. This importance doubles if you opt for one of the larger sizes. This custom screen coating blocks glare from artificial and environmental light, and as we’ve tested it on other Samsung TVs such as the Samsung S95F OLED, one of the best TVs of 2025, it works very well.
Samsung’s Micro RGB TVs will support Dolby Atmos, as well as Adaptive Sound Pro and Samsung’s Q-Symphony, the latter of which is particularly useful if you use other Samsung audio devices like smart speakers or soundbars.
Additionally, Samsung announced that its entire 2026 TV lineup will support Eclipsa Audio for a spatial sound experience – although we’ll have to wait until the 2026 Consumer Electronics Show to find out more.
And if you thought Vision AI was disappearing into the ether, buckle up: Samsung’s Micro RGB TV will continue to support it in a variety of ways. Using the AI button on the included remote, you’ll be able to get contextual search results for voice or input queries, translate audio in real time, generate wallpapers, and even access Perplexity AI on the big screen.
There’s no pricing or exact launch timeline yet for Samsung’s 2026 Micro RGB TV, but it’s clear that the improvements to the individual Micro RGB LEDs and improved processing indicate that the tech giant is committed to the platform and wants to bring it to more homes.
But the big question is price. Right now, Samsung’s 115-inch Micro RGB TV costs $30,000, and with more sizes — including 55-, 65-, 75-, 85-, and 100-inch options — the question is how low 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 featuring all the latest improvements, the newest chip and a glare-free finish. We will have to wait for the final details. Still, bringing core Micro RGB technology to a lower price point would be a win, especially as the market becomes more and more competitive.
Time will tell, but we’ll get hands-on with Samsung’s 2026 Micro RGB TVs at CES 2026 – and who knows, maybe we’ll see Ballie again this year. I expect Samsung’s RGB TVs to ship in the coming year, but I’m less sure about the adorable robot.
