The new micro RGB technology will make the leap out of its niche in 2026 and will be available in standard display sizes for the home sector for the first time.
Micro-RGB screens are a form of LCD display. Basically, the image is created by liquid crystals that allow light to pass through or block it. The necessary light comes from a backlight. In micro RGB displays, the backlight is generated by individually controllable red, green and blue LEDs with a size of less than 100 micrometres. In contrast to OLED televisions, micro RGB TVs also require colour filters to display realistic colours. However, the corrections have less of an impact compared to classic white/blue LED backlights. This makes the picture appear clearer and more realistic.
According to the manufacturer, TVs with micro RGB technology fully cover the modern 4K colour space BT-2020 and therefore ensure high colour fidelity. Unlike OLED displays, there is no risk of permanent burn-in of the image.
Micro RGB televisions
We have two micro RGB models in our range: the high-end model R95H and the R85H. The R95H is the technically fully equipped flagship model with better image processing, a higher frame rate and glare-free coating. The R85H offers the same micro RGB basis as a more affordable variant, but does without some premium features.
Instead of the HDR tone mapping «HDR10+» and the AI image processor «Micro RGB AI Engine» for AI upscaling (AI-controlled upscaling to 4K) as in the R85H, the R95H offers the higher-quality versions «HDR10+ Advanced» and «Micro RGB AI Engine Pro». The glare-free coating is designed to reduce reflections and ensure that you can see the R95H's image better in dark scenes in bright rooms.
The R95H is also the better choice for gaming: it repeats the image at 165 hertz instead of 144 hertz. This ensures a smoother image display during fast movements, for example in first-person shooters or racing games.
The R85H is available in 65 and 75 inch screen diagonals. The 55 and 85-inch sizes will be available from stock in our warehouse later in June.
Other features of both devices include a Pantone-certified colour display, Dolby Atmos and various AI functions which, according to Samsung, improve the image display even for content with a lower resolution.
Thanks to Samsung Vision AI voice support, you can converse in natural language with AI assistants such as Copilot and Bixby. They display videos and images on the screen to match their answers. Live translations and generated subtitles for the displayed content are also possible with Vision AI.
The AI Sound Controller analyses the video sound in real time and separates voices and sound effects. This allows you to make the dialogue louder by voice command to make it easier to understand.
OLED and LCD televisions
Samsung has also further developed the TV series with already established display technologies. You can find the new devices in the overview below. My colleague Luca categorised some of the TVs announced at the beginning of the year

Technically, the new televisions are equipped with faster processors, which should provide more precise colour reproduction and better motion sharpness.
OLED devices
An OLED TV is best for you if you like to watch films and series in dark rooms. It is worth mentioning that the mid-range S90H model now also has a glare-free surface. This was previously reserved for upper-class devices.
In addition to micro RGB, LCD televisions also include NeoQLED and mini LED devices. The technologies differ in the way the backlight is generated and the dimming zones are calculated.
Feels just as comfortable in front of a gaming PC as she does in a hammock in the garden. Likes the Roman Empire, container ships and science fiction books. Focuses mostly on unearthing news stories about IT and smart products.
