You’ll need a positively giant spot of space for Samsung’s massive MicroRGB screen, and likely a lot of money to go with it.
CES 2026 is home to lots of gadgets and exciting tech, giving a taste of what’s to come in the next six to nine months of the year, and one of those things is new TV technologies.
Yes, there are some new terms to memorise, and Micro-RGB is one of them.
A concept that uses tiny red, green, and blue LEDs to light up behind each and every pixel, you can consider Micro RGB to be this year’s premium TV tech that isn’t OLED, with both taking the top spot for what TVs will do this year.
They’re both built for great colour and clarity, but one area Micro-RGB might have the lead in is size. While OLED tends to max out at 97 inches, MicroRGB screens can go even bigger again, and the biggest is at CES this year.
Samsung’s 130 inch Micro RGB TV measures a staggering 3.3 metres diagonally, making it basically a wall as a TV.
That’s clearly bigger than the 115 inch Micro-RGB screen Samsung talked up before CES kicked off, and sits as the flagship R95 model ahead of smaller models expected this year, covering 55, 65, 75, 85, and 100 inch screens by comparison.
The design follows something Samsung first launched back in 2013 called “Timeless Frame” design, and essentially is about technology being represented as art showcasing the display almost floating in space.
That doesn’t sound dramatically different from what LG is trying in its wallpaper approach used on this year’s W6 OLED TV, but the tech is very different.
Instead of OLED, Samsung is using those tiny red, green, and blue pixels to light up individual pixels, and even bolstering colour and HDR with new versions of its processing specifically made for Micro RGB screens. Part of this is a system called Micro RGB Precision Colour 100, which delivers 100 percent of the BT.2020 wide colour gamut, made somewhat easier to see with a glare free screen technology.
“Big screens are no longer the exception; they’re the expectation,” said Simon Howe, Director of AV at Samsung Australia.
“Responding to this demand, Samsung is introducing its largest Micro RGB TV with a timeless design that transforms the best picture quality into an artistic centrepiece to elevate home decor,” he said.
There are other features in the mix, many of which rely on artificial intelligence, such as an AI sports mode for football and soccer, an AI sound controller, and even the ability to make wallpaper from generative AI, something we can only hope is better than the creepy dogs Acer’s Swift laptop AI delivered.
Pricing for the screen won’t likely be cheap, though it does seem like the 130 inch Samsung Micro RGB could at least be on the cards for interested Australians, with a possible release date later in the year. Maybe.
