4 Smart TVs Redefining Picture Quality — 2026 Lineup
- LG is bringing Micro RGB evo (MRGB95) to more practical screen sizes (75", 86", 100").
- Samsung will expand Micro RGB into smaller, mainstream sizes and add Eclipsa Audio and an updated AI platform.
- Sony plans “True RGB” Bravia models (50"–115") and may use MediaTek’s MT9131 chipset and Google TV.
- Samsung's leaked S99H OLED is positioned as a 2026 flagship with screens from 55" to 83" and support for Eclipsa Audio.
Why 2026 looks like the year of RGB MiniLED/Micro RGB
2025 introduced RGB MiniLED with Hisense’s 116UX and Samsung’s MR95F (Micro RGB). Manufacturers say 2026 will scale that tech to more consumer-friendly sizes, bringing improved color precision and HDR performance to living rooms.
LG Micro RGB evo (MRGB95)
Specs & positioning
LG’s Micro RGB evo, branded MRGB95, will ship in 75-, 86- and 100-inch sizes. It uses the α (Alpha) 11 AI Processor Gen 3 for upscaling and AI-driven picture tuning.
Color & contrast
LG claims full coverage of BT.2020, DCI‑P3 and Adobe RGB color spaces for improved color fidelity. The TV will feature over a thousand local dimming zones — fewer than some rivals — which could limit extreme HDR contrast compared with top-tier Micro RGB implementations.
Unknowns
LG has not confirmed pricing or full feature lists; expect more detail at CES 2026.
Samsung’s expanded Micro RGB lineup
New sizes and audio
Samsung plans to broaden Micro RGB beyond its MR95F, introducing 55-, 65-, 75-, 85-, 100- and 115-inch models. Smaller screens lower the barrier to entry compared with the very large, expensive sets sold in 2025.
Platform & features
Samsung says the new models will achieve BT.2020 coverage, include an updated AI chipset and companion, and support Eclipsa Audio — a spatial sound format developed with Google.
Sony True RGB (Bravia 10, Bravia 9 II, Bravia 7 II)
What to expect
Sony has trademarked “True RGB” and is expected to launch Bravia models using RGB MiniLED tech in sizes from about 50" to 115". Rumors mention a Bravia 10 using MediaTek’s MT9131 chipset and Google TV as the platform.
Positioning
Sony’s entry signals RGB MiniLED going mainstream across OLED and LCD categories, with a focus on calibrated color and integration with Google TV.
Samsung S99H OLED — the rumored flagship
Where it fits
Leaked entries suggest Samsung’s S99H may be the 2026 OLED flagship, sitting above the S95F successor. Reported sizes run from 55" to 83".
Features to watch
Expect premium image processing, and because Samsung is rolling Eclipsa Audio across its 2026 lineup, the S99H will likely support that open spatial audio format alongside advanced HDR capabilities.
What this means for buyers
2026 will be the year RGB-based MiniLED and Micro RGB move into mainstream sizes, giving shoppers more options between OLED and advanced LCDs. Compare color gamut coverage, dimming zones, and audio platform support when choosing a set.
