Not even a day after LG announced its own RGB TV technology, Samsung – which already offers a 115-inch Micro RGB TV – is announcing that in 2026 it will offer a new premium Micro RGB TV in six sizes.
Samsung’s as-yet-unnamed 2026 Micro RGB TV comes in 55-, 65-, 75-, 85-, 100- and 115-inch sizes, each with individual Micro RGB modules for brighter, more accurate colors, all controlled by a custom chip.
As with the previous 115-inch Micro RGB TV from Samsung, the 2026 line replaces traditional white and blue backlighting with individual red, green and blue modules for a more immersive viewing experience that is easier to control.
Each LED module in Samsung’s new TV is super small, and Samsung chooses this technology to deliver the best possible picture. To do that, it’s not just the Micro RGB LEDs – the company’s special sauce, if you will, is the processor and the processing.
Samsung’s custom Micro RGB AI Engine chip is being upgraded with a Pro designation – Micro RGB AI Engine Pro – and will offer more control on a frame-by-frame basis. This will likely be implemented in custom imaging technologies to ensure colors remain vibrant and immersive without skewing towards unrealistic levels, while 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.
Perhaps more importantly on a Micro RGB TV – as it’s all about color that can compete with the best OLEDs and surpass the best mini-LED sets – the Micro RGB AI Engine Pro also includes Color Booster and HDR functions to ensure a vivid visual experience.
It’s safe to say we’re eager to see 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 have the same Glare Free display, which is not only a step above LG’s Micro RGB evo, but also makes TV positioning easier. That meaning doubles if you choose 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 particularly useful if you use other Samsung audio devices like smart speakers or soundbars.
In addition, Samsung has teased that its entire 2026 TV lineup will support Eclipsa Audio for a spatial audio experience — though we’ll have to wait for the 2026 Consumer Electronics Show to learn more.
And if you thought Vision AI disappeared into the ether, brace yourself: 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 backgrounds, and even access Perplexity AI on the big screen.
There’s no pricing or exact launch time yet for Samsung’s 2026 Micro RGB TV, but it’s clear that tweaks to individual Micro RGB LEDs and improved processing indicate the tech giant is committed to the platform and wants to bring it to more households.
The big question, however, is the price. Right now, Samsung’s 115-inch Micro RGB TV goes for $30,000, and with multiple sizes — including 55-, 65-, 75-, 85-, and 100-inch options — the question becomes how much lower 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 boasting all the latest improvements, the latest chip and the glare-free finish. We will have to wait for the final details. Still, bringing base 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 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 to ship in the coming year, but I’m less sure about the cute robot.
