Samsung is preparing for a new phase in its high-end television catalog by focusing on technology Micro RGB across its entire premium lineThe company plans to extend this type of panel to diagonals ranging from 55 to 115 inches, with the idea that it will cease to be a rarity reserved for giant models and become present in much more common living rooms.
Until now, the only commercial model with this technology was a huge television of 115 inches and a price close to $30.000focused on a very exclusive niche. The move the brand is preparing for next year seeks just the opposite: bringing Micro RGB to more consumer-friendly formats and opening the door to somewhat more affordable priceswhile remaining in the premium segment.
A Micro RGB range that covers sizes from 55 to 115 inches
Samsung has confirmed that its new family of premium televisions will feature Micro RGB models in 55, 65, 75, 85, 100 and 115 inchesIn other words, it will range from screen sizes more or less manageable for an average European living room to screens clearly designed for very large or almost cinematic domestic spaces.
The South Korean firm will present this range for the first time at the CES of Las Vegaswhere it will showcase the complete lineup as a benchmark for what it considers its new standard for premium home television. Specific availability in European countries and arrival dates in Spain will be detailed later, as for now There are no official dates or prices..
What the company has made clear is that All these models will share the same Micro RGB panel architecture.Based on the 115-inch television that served as a technological showcase, each screen size will adapt its design, number of zones, and performance level to suit different room types and budgets.
From within the Visual Display division itself, they speak of create a new premium category that covers "the full range of modern living spaces", both as a centerpiece in a large living room and in configurations where a high-end model is sought that does not occupy the entire wall.
What makes Samsung's Micro RGB TVs different
The key to these televisions lies in their backlighting system. Instead of using White or blue LEDs with color filtersAs is the case with most current LCDs and Mini LEDs, Micro RGB uses Red, green and blue LEDs less than 100 microns that emit light independently. This structure allows for much more precise control of brightness and color in each area of the screen.
In practice, this architecture is similar to what OLED panels offer in terms of extremely fine light controlbut while maintaining typical advantages of advanced LCDs: very high peak brightness, no burn-in issues, and a potentially longer lifespan. Samsung emphasizes that the result is a wider color range and more flexible light intensity than that of other current technologies.
These micrometric LEDs, organized by RGB subpixels, are combined with an improved dimming system that adjusts the light zone by zone with great precision. This reduces the halo effect around bright objects against dark backgrounds, one of the Common criticisms of Mini LEDs, and you get a contrast closest to “almost absolute black” that demanding users look for in movies and series.
Furthermore, the Micro RGB design opens the door to very high brightness peaks geared towards HDRThis is especially relevant for content recorded in high dynamic range and in brightly lit rooms. Although the brand hasn't released official figures, its positioning as an ultra-premium range suggests sustained brightness levels well above those of conventional OLEDs.
Micro RGB AI Engine Pro processor and BT.2020 certified color
To take advantage of this hardware, Samsung integrates a dedicated processor into the new range, the Micro RGB AI Engine ProThis chipset uses artificial intelligence to analyze content in real time and adjust parameters such as brightness, contrast, sharpness, and motion in each scene.
Among the features that accompany this processing engine, the following stand out: 4K AI Upscaling Pro and AI Motion Enhancer ProThe first one deals with upscaling non-4K content to make the most of the panel, while the second one focuses on smoothing and better defining fast-paced scenes, something that is especially noticeable in sports, video games, and action movies.
Another of the technical pillars is technology Micro RGB Precision Color 100which uses a refined Micro RGB light source to improve the dimming and blending of red, green, and blue subpixels. According to information provided by Samsung, this solution achieves 100% of the BT.2020 color space, a figure reserved for very few televisions and which directly targets users looking for the most faithful color reproduction possible.
This certification, endorsed by organizations such as VDE, means that the television is capable of displaying a extremely wide color coveragewith highly saturated tones when the content demands it, but without distorting the original material. This is especially relevant for home cinema, HDR content, and, in general, for those who value a highly calibrated image.
AI features and a TV that does more than just display images
Beyond image quality, Samsung is using these new models to reinforce its strategy of integrate artificial intelligence into the televisionThe new Micro RGB line arrives with an updated version of Vision AI Companion, the brand's multi-agent platform.
This system combines advanced language models with voice interaction through Bixbyso that the user can maintain more natural conversations with the televisionIt's not just about asking it to change the channel or open an app: the idea is to be able to ask questions, receive content recommendations, get summaries, translate in real time, or launch more complex searches without having to touch the remote.
Within this environment, functions such as the following are integrated: simultaneous translation (Live Translate)AI-generated backgrounds to personalize the screen, and direct access from the TV to services like Perplexity or Copilot, which allow you to do everything from looking up information to browsing the web with AI assistance. All of this is structured within an environment designed so that The television acts almost as an additional household assistant.
This push into AI fits with the industry trend, in which both Samsung and other manufacturers, including LG, are using the high-end televisions as a showcase for its artificial intelligence platforms and connected services.
Glare Free, advanced sound and Eclipsa Audio
Samsung has also brought several of the solutions it had already introduced in its recent OLED and Neo QLED TVs to the Micro RGB series. One of the most noticeable is the Glare Free coatingdesigned to minimize reflections from direct lights or windows on the screen.
This layer aims to maintain contrast and color fidelity even in brightly lit rooms, which is important in Europe and Spain, where many living rooms combine large windows with large televisions. By reducing glare and annoying reflections, Visibility of details in dark scenes is improved, and reflections are prevented from ruining the experience..
In terms of audio, the Micro RGB range includes as standard Dolby Atmos, capable of generating a multidimensional sound field; Adaptive Sound Pro, which adjusts the sound according to the type of content and the characteristics of the room; and Q Symphony, which synchronizes the TV speakers with compatible Samsung soundbars and sound systems to expand the soundstage.
To all this is added Eclipse AudioThe new spatial sound system that Samsung has announced for its next-generation televisions. This set of technologies aims to offer more immersive 3D audio without relying exclusively on external equipment, although these are still recommended for users who want a more extreme home cinema experience.
Prices, availability and context in the European market
One of the biggest questions surrounding this new Micro RGB family is its cost. For now, Samsung has not provided exact prices or release dates. for Europe or Spain, beyond confirming that the first units will be shown at CES and that sales will begin throughout the following year.
The only clear reference point is the 115-inch model already launched in South Korea, priced around $30.000clearly beyond the reach of the average consumer. However, the company itself and various industry sources indicate that The new, smaller sizes will have significantly lower prices., maintaining the focus on the premium segment but moving away from that almost inaccessible range.
Internally, the goal would be to ensure that the price difference compared to the brand's current Neo QLED and OLED ranges is not as significant as the current gap between these and the 115-inch Micro RGB TV. If they achieve this, The 55, 65 or 75 inch models could become “aspirational” but realistic options for those who plan to upgrade their high-end television in the coming years.
In the European context, this move comes at a time of intense competition. Manufacturers such as Hisense and LG are developing their own solutions with Micro RGB or Mini RGB backlightingand they are also expected to showcase significant advancements at international trade fairs. This scenario could translate into more models with advanced technologies and downward pressure on prices as supply increases.
If Samsung's plans come to fruition and Micro RGB technology is extended to its entire premium range, the high-end television market in Spain and Europe could experience a turning point: a generation of screens that combine RGB micrometric LEDs, AI processing, BT.2020 color accuracy, anti-glare coating, and enhanced spatial sounddesigned to bring to more homes a technology that until now was only seen in products that were almost like shop windows.
