LG will unveil its first Micro RGB television set at CES 2026 next month, with the company revealing the first information today.
The new Micro RGB technology is a significant advance on Mini LED, according to LG. That’s because it uses tiny individual red, green and blue LEDs as backlights rather than them all being white by default.
The company promises OLED-level precision over those RGB backlights to “sets a new benchmark for colour accuracy and visual fidelity in LCD TVs.”
Furthermore, the company is promising the latest AO Processor Gen 3 that’ll handle upscaling to delivery greater sharpness and balanced, natural looking images. LG says this enables a new RGB Primary Colour Ultra technology that brings a full spectrum of colour reproduction. That includes 100% coverage on the BT.2020, DCI-P3 and Adobe RGB standards. There’s also a thousand different dimming zones for brightness control.
“Achieving the utmost visual fidelity is the goal of any display, and with the LG Micro RGB evo, we have achieved a milestone previously thought impossible for this category,” said Park Hyoung-sei, president of the LG Media Entertainment Solution Company. “This launch marks the evolution of the RGB TV, redefining industry standards to offer uncompromising performance for customers who demand exceptional colour accuracy.”
The sets will be available in 100-inch, 86-inch and 75-inch sizes with full details to be announced in Las Vegas. We don’t expect them to be cheap. At all. We’re talking five digits. Samsung and Sony are working on the technology too.
CES runs from January 6 to January 9 with press conferences traditionally taking place on the Monday. In this instance that’ll be January 5.
