Samsung has pulled back the curtain and showed us the technology behind its range if new Micro RGB TVs that promise superior picture quality, colour and contrast.
RGB are three letters customers are going to be seeing if they go shopping for the latest 2026 flagship TVs.
The Australian market is the largest in the southern hemisphere when it comes to large screen televisions and the fourth largest in the world.
Research shows two thirds of Australians believe a bigger screen adds immersion with a similar number saying accurate colour makes images more realistic.
Samsung is not alone with RGB technology but as we discovered the company is applying unique processes and technology to get the best possible result.
The goal is enhanced colour accuracy, improved brightness and superior motion control. These are some of the main tent poles of picture quality.
In the comparison of last year’s flagship Neo QLED TVs and this year’s Samsung RGB TVs – the new Micro RGB TVs were noticeably better with punchier colours and better brightness.
Samsung has adopted Micro RGB technology which can easily be scaled to the 100 to 150-inch segment where not all technologies can compete.
Samsung was the first brand to introduce Micro RGB in its 115-inch model that was introduced at the end of 2025.
Samsung’s 2025 R95 Micro RGB flagship models are a major shift away from standard backlights to coloured light.
QLED TVs use blue mini LEDs with a quantum dot layer whereas Micro RGB uses individual micro-sized red, green and blue LEDs which allows for independent colour control for more vibrant and lifelike visuals and a wider colour gamut.
The LEDs are under 100 micrometers which is about 1/40th the size of conventional LEDs.
To prevent colour mixing in content with intermediate tones, the Samsung TVs use two independent processors – a RGB fine light control and an AI picture engine for precise colour expression.
The R95H has six times more local dimming zones than previous QLEDs, delivering significantly higher contrast.
Colour performance is the big boost with Micro RGB – it can present content as creators intend by achieving the complete BT.2020 colour space
The Samsung TV can exceed 100 per cent of the BT.2020 colour volume at around 106 per cent, notably in red and blue while green is the most challenging to reproduce.
In terms of colour accuracy, the TV is at around 99 per cent versus QLED at 76 per cent.
Samsung’s 2026 Micro RGB R95 line-up ranges from 65 to 130 inches.
Also onboard is GlareFree Technology that was developed for real viewing environments, especially sunny regions like Australia, and increasingly applied across Samsung’s TV and monitor lineups.
