LG has confirmed that it will launch its first Micro RGB LCD television in 2026, marking the company’s entry into the emerging RGB LED TV segment. It is called the LG Micro RGB evo TV, and it will be offered in 100-inch, 86-inch and 75-inch screen sizes, with pricing to be revealed closer to launch. The announcement matters because it places LG alongside Samsung, Hisense and others in what is shaping up to be a key display technology transition for large-format premium TVs next year.
LG says the Micro RGB evo TV will use α (Alpha) 11 AI Processor Gen 3 with Dual Super Upscaling for ‘enhanced sharpness and natural, balanced images’. This is the same image processing platform typically reserved for the brand’s high-end OLED models, such as the LG G5. According to LG, the TV has been certified by testing firm Intertek to deliver 100% coverage of the BT.2020, DCI-P3, and Adobe RGB colour gamuts, a key claim for professionals and enthusiasts focused on colour accuracy.
Brightness figures have not been disclosed, but LG positions the Micro RGB evo as a flagship LCD model, placing it above conventional Mini LED TVs in its lineup. Also, the LG Micro RGB TV features Micro Dimming Ultra with over 1,000 dimming zones for precise colour and contrast control.
The 100-inch variant, listed internally as the MRGB95B, has already received a CES 2026 Innovation Award, signalling LG’s intent to showcase the technology prominently at CES in January.

Micro RGB is not the same as Micro LED. Instead of individual red, green and blue LEDs for every pixel, like it is on Micro LED, Micro RGB uses clusters of extremely small red, green and blue LEDs as the backlight. These clusters illuminate multiple pixels through a colour filter.
RGB LED systems are said to offer improved colours and contrast than standard blue or white LED backlights used in most LCD TVs today. This approach allows brands to push colour performance closer to OLED levels while retaining the brightness advantages of LCD technology.
LG’s announcement adds momentum to the Micro RGB TV trend that began gaining visibility at CES 2025, when Hisense showcased its 116-inch 116UX RGB TV, and Samsung introduced a 115-inch Micro RGB TV that went on sale in August. TCL has already demonstrated RGB TV models for China, while Sony is expected to launch its TrueRGB TV in early 2026.
So far, most RGB TVs have been extremely large and priced in the tens of thousands of dollars. LG’s move to offer 75-inch and 86-inch options suggests the technology is moving towards more realistic home sizes, which could help bring prices down over time.
For LG, Micro RGB complements rather than replaces OLED. OLED remains the company’s reference technology for pixel-level control and contrast, while Micro RGB allows LG to compete at the very high end of LCD, where brightness, screen size and colour volume matter more than absolute black levels. Using the Alpha 11 processor across OLED and RGB LCD also helps unify LG’s premium image processing approach.
If you are considering a large premium Mini LED TV in 2025, the Micro RGB evo is worth keeping an eye on, especially if colour accuracy and extreme brightness are priorities. That said, pricing, real-world brightness and zone control performance will determine how competitive it is against established Mini LED flagships and OLED alternatives. Buyers not planning to go beyond 75 inches may still find current OLED and Mini LED options a better value until LG shares full specifications and pricing.
LG is expected to reveal more details, including pricing and regional availability, around CES 2026.
