Major TV Reveals at CES 2026

Micro RGB: A Highlight of CES 2026

CES remains the go-to place for unveiling the latest in television technology. This year, while OLED and Mini LED technologies continue to feature prominently, Micro RGB is claiming a significant spotlight, especially in high-end models.

Samsung's New TV Lineup

Samsung's Micro RGB Innovations

Samsung introduced their innovative Micro RGB TVs at CES 2026, focusing not just on large screens but on redefining color precision and brightness in LCD televisions. They employ tiny red, green, and blue LEDs for enhanced color richness and more accurate light control compared to traditional LCD models.

A standout is the 130-inch Micro RGB model, displayed on a grand gallery stand. It's powered by Samsung’s advanced Micro RGB AI Engine Pro, incorporating Micro RGB Color Booster Pro and Micro RGB HDR Pro, plus HDR10+ Advanced support for superior contrast and color fidelity. Future models will range in size from 55 inches to as much as 100 inches, integrating cutting-edge AI for visuals and audio.

These TVs also include Samsung’s Glare Free finish and connect with its Vision AI platform. The massive 130-inch model acts more as a flagship illustration of possibilities rather than an everyday consumer option, demonstrating Samsung’s commitment to leading-edge TV technology.

Samsung OLED Enhancements

Samsung's 2026 OLED lineup, featuring the S95H, S90H, and S85H models, leverages quantum dots to deliver more vibrant colors and illumination. This series builds upon Samsung's ongoing advancements in screen processing and anti-glare technology, improving usability in well-lit rooms.

At the high end, the S95H employs a quantum dot layer for optimal brightness and color quality. The S90H variant offers cost-effective access to high-end features, including glare reduction and strong image processing. Meanwhile, the S85H focuses on delivering essential OLED benefits, such as deep blacks and broad viewing angles, now also available in a new 48-inch size suitable for limited spaces or gaming setups.

The entire OLED range benefits from Samsung's Vision AI tools, which dynamically enhance motion and audio, ensuring comprehensive viewing and auditory experiences.

LG's Cutting-Edge TVs

LG's Revolutionary Wallpaper TV

LG returns with its OLED evo W6 Wallpaper TV, merging sleek design with top-tier functionality. The unit is remarkably thin at just 9mm, designed to be wall-mounted with almost no gap. It connects through a Zero Connect Box that offers wireless video transmission over considerable distances.

Features include LG's Hyper Radiant Color and Brightness Booster Ultra for improved colors and brightness, and it proudly boasts Intertek's 'Reflection Free with Premium' certification for minimal reflectivity. It's equipped to handle gaming, supporting 165Hz refresh rates and ensuring compatibility with G-SYNC and FreeSync technology.

LG's Foray into Micro RGB

At CES, LG also steps into the premium RGB-backed display category with its Micro RGB evo series, focusing on an extensive color range and high brightness. These sets offer sizes up to 100 inches, featuring LG’s α11 AI Processor Gen3 for advanced image scaling, localized dimming, and HDR performance.

These TVs offer full BT.2020, DCI-P3, and Adobe RGB spectrum coverage, emphasizing LG's drive towards exceptional color accuracy. LG's introduction into this space indicates an industry-wide pivot towards better brightness and color quality for large displays.

New C-Series OLEDs from LG

LG's C6 and C6H OLED models uphold the brand's reputation for excellence through a balance of cost and performance. The C6H includes the innovative Primary RGB Tandem panel, aimed at enhancing brightness and color depth, appealing to those who prioritize OLED advantages without seeking the top-tier of LG's offerings.

TCL's Latest in Mini LED Technology

TCL X11L SQD-Mini LED TV

TCL emphasizes Mini LED's viability with the X11L SQD-Mini LED TV, targeting large home theaters. The model integrates Super Quantum Dot technology with dense Mini LED backlighting for outstanding color and light performance.

The X11L can achieve brightness levels up to 10,000 nits, potentially making it one of the most luminous at CES. Its advanced local dimming system includes up to 20,000 zones for remarkable contrast and minimized bloom. TCL claims comprehensive BT.2020 color space coverage, placing it among the few achieving such standards if validated post-launch.
