Not even a day 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 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 color, all controlled by a custom chip.
As with Samsung’s previous 115-inch Micro RGB TV, the 2026 line swaps traditional white and blue backlighting for individual red, green and blue modules for a more immersive and easier-to-control viewing experience.
Each LED module in the new Samsung televisions is very small and Samsung is opting for this technology to offer the best possible image. To do that, it’s not just about the Micro RGB LEDs: the company’s special sauce, so to speak, is the processor and processing.
Samsung’s custom Micro RGB AI Engine chip is being updated with a Pro designation, Micro RGB AI Engine Pro, and will offer more frame-by-frame control. This is likely to be implemented in custom image processing technologies to ensure colors remain vivid and immersive without drifting 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 more important on a Micro RGB TV, as this is a color 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 vivid viewing experience.
It’s safe to say that we’re eager to see how good Samsung’s Micro RGB 2026 TV looks 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 up from LG’s Micro RGB evo but also makes it easier to position the TV. That importance doubles if you opt for one of the larger sizes. This custom screen coating blocks reflections from ambient and artificial light and, as we’ve tested on other Samsung TVs like 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 Samsung’s Adaptive Sound Pro and Q-Symphony, the latter of which is especially useful if you’re using other Samsung audio devices like smart speakers or sound bars.
Additionally, Samsung has teased that its entire 2026 TV lineup will support Eclipsa Audio for a spatial sound experience, although we’ll have to wait for the 2026 Consumer Electronics Show for more information.
And if you thought Vision AI was fading 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 control, you’ll be able to get contextual search results for voice or typed queries, translate audio in real time, generate wallpapers, and even access Perplexity AI on the big screen.
There’s no price or exact launch time yet for Samsung’s 2026 Micro RGB TV, but it’s clear that 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.
The big question, however, is the 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 much lower that price can go, especially with the changes made to the core technology.
This expansion will result in a broader Micro RGB lineup from Samsung, with a likely flagship model featuring all of the latest improvements, newest chip, and a glare-free finish. We will have to wait for the final details. Still, bringing basic Micro RGB technology to a lower price would be a win, especially as the market becomes increasingly competitive.
Time will tell, but we’ll be testing Samsung’s Micro RGB 2026 TVs at CES 2026, and who knows, we might see Ballie again this year. I hope Samsung’s RGB TVs come out next year, but I’m not so sure about the cute robot.
