Samsung’s enormous micro-RGB TV is coming to smaller screen sizes, and it borrows one great feature from Samsung OLED TVs
Not even a day after LG announced its own RGB TV tech, Samsung – which already offers a 115-inch Micro RGB TV – is announcing that, come 2026, it will offer a new premium Micro RGB TV in six sizes.
Samsung’s not-yet-named 2026 Micro RGB 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 the previous 115-inch Micro RGB TV from Samsung, the 2026 line swaps traditional white and blue backlighting for individual red, green, and blue modules for a more immersive viewing experience that’s easier to control.
Each LED module in Samsung’s new TVs is super tiny, and Samsung is opting for this tech to deliver the best picture possible. To do that, it’s not just 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 control on a frame-by-frame basis. This will likely be deployed in custom picture-processing technologies to ensure colors remain vivid and immersive without skewing toward unrealistic levels, while also improving sharpness.
As we should all expect in 2025 and 2026, there’s 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 – since it’s all about color that can rival the best OLEDs and surpass the best mini-LED sets – the Micro RGB AI Engine Pro also includes Color Booster and HDR features to ensure a vivid visual experience.
It’s safe to say we’re keen to see just how good Samsung’s 2026 Micro RGB TV looks in person, and whether it leaves us as impressed as the previous 2025 115-inch model. The new TVs will feature the same Glare Free screen, which isn’t just a step above LG’s Micro RGB evo but also makes TV placement easier. That importance doubles if you’re opting for one of the larger sizes. This custom screen coating blocks reflections 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 performs very well.
Samsung’s Micro RGB TVs will support Dolby Atmos, as well as Samsung’s own Adaptive Sound Pro and Q-Symphony, the latter of which is especially helpful if you’re using other Samsung audio devices like smart speakers or soundbars.
Additionally, Samsung has teased that its entire 2026 TV lineup will support Eclipsa Audio for a spatial sound experience – though we’ll have to wait for the 2026 Consumer Electronics Show to learn more.
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, 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 pricing or exact launch timing yet for Samsung’s 2026 Micro RGB TV, but it’s clear that refinements to individual Micro RGB LEDs and improved processing indicate the technology giant is committed to the platform and wants to bring it to more households.
The big question, though, is price. Right now, Samsung’s 115-inch Micro RGB TV goes for $30,000, and with more sizes – including 55-, 65-, 75-, 85-, and 100-inch options – the question becomes how much lower that price can go, especially with changes made to the core tech.
This expansion will result in a broader Micro RGB lineup from Samsung, with a likely flagship model boasting all of the latest enhancements, the newest chip, and the glare-free finish. We’ll need to wait for final details. Still, bringing base Micro RGB tech to a lower price point would be a win, especially as the market becomes increasingly competitive.
Time will tell, but we’ll be going hands-on with Samsung’s 2026 Micro RGB TVs at CES 2026 – and who knows, we might just see Ballie again this year. I expect Samsung’s RGB TVs will ship in the coming year, but I’m less certain about the cute robot.
