What are Micro RGB TVs and why are they everywhere at CES 2026?

Micro RGB technology dominated CES 2026, featuring individually-controlled red, green, and blue LED backlights that achieve 100 percent coverage of the BT.2020 HDR color standard—a first for TVs. Unlike OLED panels that turn pixels completely on or off, Micro RGB uses liquid crystal layers with precise RGB backlighting and thousands of dimming zones to deliver superior color accuracy and brightness compared to quantum dot displays. Samsung, LG, and Hisense unveiled complete Micro RGB lineups ranging from 55 to 163 inches, a major expansion from Samsung's original $29,999 115-inch model.
