Just one day after LG announced that it’s bringing its first-ever Micro RGB TV to CES 2026, Samsung has fired back with some Micro RGB news of its own. Not only will Samsung bring its new Micro RGB TV to CES, but it will deliver it in screen sizes as small as 55 inches.
According to information sent to Tom’s Guide, Samsung plans on expanding the Micro RGB lineup from just the one 115-inch model it announced back in August to 55-, 65-, 75-, 85- and 100-inch screens to allow people with less space to bring what could possibly be one of the best TVs of 2026 into their home living room.
The war for picture-perfect color is heating up
Samsung and LG’s Micro RGB technology work in a similar fashion — they utilize arrays of sub-100μm red, green, and blue LEDs to produce higher color volumes than traditional LED-LCD screens.
Despite going by different names, Samsung and LG’s Micro RGB display technology work in a similar fashion — they utilize arrays of sub-100μm red, green, and blue LEDs to produce higher color volumes than traditional LED-LCD screens.
We measure color volume by the percentage of the BT.2020 wide color gamut they cover — and Samsung's Micro RGB TVs will cover 100%, a claim the company says has been independently verified by a third-party testing outfit called VDE.
In layman’s terms, Micro RGB TVs are set to introduce more vivid colors that were previously difficult to display on Mini-LED screens. Though, if Hisense's $15,000 110UX model is anything to go by, they're not going to be cheap.
A CES for the ages
If you’re keeping track, Samsung and LG have joined Sony as the brands that have so far announced their plans to debut Micro RGB TVs in 2026.
While we haven't heard its plans for CES 2026, Hisense actually debuted its version of this technology called RGB-MiniLED at CES 2025 and even brought TVs to the market earlier this year in both 100- and 116-inch screen sizes. I'd expect to hear something more about this technology from the brand sooner rather than later.
So how will Samsung, LG, Hisense and Sony differentiate themselves in a space that, up until now, had no competition? Well, Samsung says its Micro RGB will sport similar Glare-Free technology to what we saw on the Samsung S95F OLED and support for Eclipsa Audio, the new Dolby Atmos rival.
At just 55 inches, however, Samsung’s model could be the first one that offers a compromise between next-generation performance and reasonable sticker price.
While these additional features are promising, my main concern is that Micro RGB TVs are simply too big — and too pricey — for most folks, especially in this economy. At just 55 inches, however, Samsung’s model could be the first one that offers a compromise between next-generation performance and reasonable sticker price.
Unfortunately, we won't be able to verify that hunch until sometime in 2026 when the prices formally get announced. Until then, we'll have to settle for going eyes-on with the new TVs when we land in Vegas early next year.
