Samsung Introduces Groundbreaking Micro RGB TV, Revolutionizing Television Experience
Samsung Unveils Revolutionary Micro RGB TV at CES 2025
Samsung has made a significant leap in TV technology with the unveiling of its new Micro RGB TV at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2025. This groundbreaking TV could mark the first step towards bridging the gap between today's best Mini-LED TVs and the future's attainable MicroLED TVs.
The 115-inch Samsung Micro RGB TV boasts an impressive capability of covering 100% of the BT.2020 color gamut, a first for a commercial TV. This means it can reproduce a vast array of colors, ensuring a vibrant and lifelike viewing experience.
Unlike traditional LCD TVs, the Micro RGB TV uses a dense array of tiny red, green, and blue LEDs as its backlight. These LEDs, each less than 1/10th of a millimeter, are arranged in a complex pattern. This innovative design offers greater contrast control than Mini-LED TVs, resulting in razor-sharp contrast and unparalleled color volume.
However, it's important to note that the Micro RGB TV is not a true MicroLED TV. MicroLED TVs, such as Samsung's high-end models, feature self-emissive pixels where each tiny LED emits its own light and color independently. This technology offers perfect black levels, very high brightness, no haloing or blooming effects, and superior contrast since each pixel can be individually controlled.
While the Micro RGB TV offers significant advancements, it still has some limitations compared to MicroLED TVs. For instance, it may exhibit some haloing (blooming) around bright objects and less perfect blacks. However, the Micro RGB backlight technology is an enhanced MiniLED approach, offering nearly OLED- and MicroLED-like local dimming precision and color accuracy.
The Samsung Micro RGB TV also comes with built-in smart features and Samsung's Vision AI software suite, ensuring a seamless and intelligent viewing experience. It also boasts a native 144Hz refresh rate, making it ideal for fast-paced content like video games and sports.
Despite the advancements, MicroLED TVs remain prohibitively expensive for most people, with Samsung's smallest MicroLED TV being 89 inches and debuting at $100,000. In contrast, the Micro RGB TV is much cheaper, with the 115-inch model costing about $32,000, making it a more affordable option for those seeking high-quality TV technology.
In summary, the Samsung Micro RGB TV offers excellent, though slightly limited, picture quality at a more affordable price compared to true MicroLED TVs. While it may not match the perfect blacks and infinite contrast of MicroLED TVs, it delivers a vibrant color gamut, razor-sharp contrast, and a matte, glare-free finish, making it a remarkable sight to behold.
| Feature | MicroLED TV | Micro RGB TV (Samsung) | |---------------------------------|---------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------| | Pixel lighting | Each pixel is self-emissive (individual LEDs form image) | LCD panel with RGB LED backlight (transmissive) | | Black levels | Perfect blacks, no blooming | Deep blacks but can have blooming around bright objects | | Color accuracy | Very high (pixel-level control) | Very high, enhanced by dense RGB LEDs and AI processing | | Brightness | High but usually lower than Micro RGB | Higher peak brightness than OLED, nearly MicroLED levels | | Cost | Very expensive (e.g., $150,000 for 115”) | Much cheaper (about $32,000 for 115”) | | Technology type | Self-emissive display (like OLED but with inorganic LEDs) | Transmissive LCD panel with advanced RGB LED backlight | | Potential image artifacts | Minimal to none | Some haloing (blooming) and "dirty screen" effect possible |
