Samsung Expands Micro RGB TV Lineup for 2026, Scaling Premium Color Tech to Living Room Sizes
Samsung has officially unveiled its 2026 Micro RGB TV lineup, signaling a strategic move to bring ultra-premium display architecture into more conventional home environments. By expanding the available screen sizes and integrating advanced AI processing, the company is attempting to democratize a technology that was previously reserved for massive, high-cost installations.
The new 2026 collection introduces two primary series, the R95H, and R85H. Although Samsung first introduced its Micro RGB technology last year exclusively in a 115-inch model—which debuted at a price point of just under $30,000—the new Micro RGB 115 is now part of a broader range of options. The latest lineup offers screen sizes ranging from 55 inches up to 115 inches, making the technology more accessible for typical living room layouts.
This expansion was highlighted during the Inside Samsung, The First Look Europe 2026 event, where the company detailed a fundamental shift in how these displays produce color. Unlike traditional screens that rely on white or blue LED backlights, the Micro RGB architecture utilizes a redesigned structure featuring independently emitting red, green, and blue LEDs.
Precision Engineering and AI Integration
At the heart of the new displays is a micro-sized RGB backlight that employs local dimming technology to achieve extreme precision in both brightness and color. To manage this hardware, Samsung has implemented a dedicated Micro RGB AI engine designed to handle dynamic color adjustments in real-time, ensuring higher color accuracy across the panel.
The Samsung R85H Micro RGB series specifically showcases this 4K Ultra HD capability, blending the new hardware with “Vision AI” to enhance the viewing experience. The TVs operate on the One UI Tizen OS, integrating them further into Samsung’s connected ecosystem.
The introduction of these various sizes represents a significant pivot in the high-end display market, as the company seeks to set a new benchmark for color accuracy while moving away from the “large-format only” constraint of previous iterations. This move highlights the ongoing competition among manufacturers to refine RGB LED innovations for the consumer market.
As part of its 2026 AV and TV selection, Samsung is positioning the Micro RGB line alongside its other premium offerings. For consumers navigating the different technologies, the company has provided detailed explanations of its OLED, Micro RGB, Neo QLED, and Mini LED ranges to help buyers distinguish between the various display architectures.
