Weekly Gear Update: Unveiling LG's RGB LED TV and Google's Find Hub for Wear OS

Looking ahead to 2026, LG has announced the launch of a top-of-the-line RGB LED television. This new model will boast an advanced processor along with a more luminant screen, achieving complete BT.2020, DCI-P3, and Adobe RGB color spectrums for exceptional color precision. Remarkably, LG plans to offer these sets in more conventional sizes, spanning from a vast 100 inches to a more typical 75 inches, aligning with modern living room aesthetics and consumer desires.

RGB LED technology promises enhanced brightness and color accuracy, different from micro LED displays where each individual pixel emits light on its own. Instead, RGB LED employs red, green, and blue clusters to light up several pixels simultaneously, marking a significant leap forward in color performance from OLEDs that have been favored for years.

Samsung's New Micro RGB TV Lineup Announcement

Samsung is also stepping into the future with its unveiling of micro RGB TVs, expected to be available in sizes from 55 to 115 inches by 2026. These will be the smallest RGB LED TVs introduced by any major brand so far, and we anticipate competitive models from cost-effective manufacturers like Hisense and TCL.

Samsung's latest TV will feature a highly AI-enhanced chipset and promises to deliver 100 percent BT.2020 coverage, hinting at mesmerizingly accurate colors. The race is on to see which South Korean company can deliver the best tech as these exciting advancements reach consumers by 2026.

Google Expands Find Hub to Wear OS

Google is expanding its services by launching the Find Hub app on Wear OS smartwatches. Building upon previous improvements to align more closely with Apple’s ecosystem, this new offering allows smart device users to track their gadgets' last known locations directly through their watches.

This isn't just a basic version; users can utilize Google Maps for tracking, trigger a sound to find their lost item, secure it, or even reset it to factory settings. However, to leverage these features fully, a smartwatch with cellular capability is recommended, particularly when the paired phone has gone missing.

Potential Cutback in Nvidia's Graphics Card Supply

An anticipated memory shortage in 2026 could have significant implications, with possible impacts on pricing and availability across various tech sectors. Persistent rumors suggest that Nvidia might reduce its deliverables of the RTX 50-series GPUs by up to 40 percent during the first half of the year compared to 2025 levels, although these claims are speculative at this stage.

Initially expected to refresh the RTX 50 series with new 'Super' models early in 2026, industry whispers now hint at a postponed launch toward the year's end. The shift in timeline may be Nvidia’s strategic response to soaring RAM and SSD costs in the market, though confirming this remains tentative.

Nvidia could also be transitioning VRAM sourcing responsibilities to its partners like Asus and MSI, further indicating how memory constraints might influence future hardware pricing and availability. Yet, despite these murmurings, the current graphics card market is strong, with numerous options available and even some price drops noted since midyear.
