Samsung officially launched the world's first Micro RGB television in South Korea – a gigantic 115-inch model first presented at CES 2025. Instead of traditional Mini-LEDs, millions of microscopic RGB (red, green, and blue) diodes are placed directly behind the panel. The result? A wider color gamut, more local dimming zones, and even 20% better energy efficiency.
Precision through AI
The heart of the new screen is the Micro RGB AI Engine processor, analyzing the image frame by frame and optimizing colors in real-time. The television achieves 100% coverage of the BT.2020 standard and has the "Micro RGB Precision Colour" certification from VDE. Thanks to AI, the display is capable of bringing muted colors to life, improving contrast, and providing a significantly more accurate representation of source materials.
Specification for the Demanding
The new model offers 4K resolution, a refresh rate of 144 Hz for smooth gaming without blurriness, support for HDR10+, AI upscaling, as well as a 70-watt 4.2.2 audio system with Dolby Atmos. There are four HDMI 2.1, USB-A, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth available. Additionally, the television can synchronize the image with Philips Hue smart lighting, creating a cinematic atmosphere in the living room.
Price and Future Plans
In South Korea, the Micro RGB TV costs 44.9 million won (~32 thousand USD). It will first hit the American market and then expand to other countries. Initially, only the 115” variant will be available, but Samsung has announced further models – 75” and 85” in 4K and 98” in 8K. The competition is not standing still: Sony is preparing similar technology for 2026, and Hisense has already showcased its model 116UX RGB-Mini LED.
