Samsung Scales Up Micro RGB, Turning Halo Tech into a Full Range

Just announced, the move sees Micro RGB step beyond its original halo role and into a more established premium tier within Samsung’s LCD lineup. The range now runs from 55 through to 115 inches, expanding on the single 115-inch model introduced in 2025.

Micro RGB sits above Samsung’s Neo QLED range and reworks the conventional LCD backlight structure. Instead of using a white LED backlight with colour filters, it employs densely packed red, green and blue LEDs, each acting as an independent light source. The approach is designed to improve light control, contrast and colour precision compared to existing Mini LED systems.

For 2026, Samsung is splitting the range across three series. The 115-inch MR95F remains the flagship, with the new R95H models covering 65, 75 and 85 inches, and the R85H range spanning 55 through 85 inches. A 100-inch option is expected to follow later in the year.

Colour performance is central to Samsung’s messaging. The top-tier R95H models are claimed to achieve full coverage of the BT.2020 colour space, a benchmark few consumer displays genuinely reach, backed by VDE certification. That’s paired with what Samsung calls its Micro RGB AI Engine Pro, which brings frame-by-frame processing, HDR refinement, and upscaling into the mix. As always, the real-world impact will come down to implementation, but the intent is obvious: this is being framed as a reference-class LCD platform.

Beyond panel tech, the feature set reads like a greatest hits list from Samsung’s flagship TVs. Glare-free anti-reflection returns for brighter rooms, wide-viewing-angle technology aims to preserve off-axis performance, and gaming support pushes up to 165Hz with VRR on the R95H series. Even the 115-inch model supports 144Hz, alongside Samsung Gaming Hub and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro.

Audio and smart features follow suit. Dolby Atmos, Object Tracking Sound and Q-Symphony are all present, with up to 70W of onboard amplification in higher-end models. Samsung is also rolling out its new Eclipsa Audio spatial format across the 2026 lineup, alongside the familiar Tizen platform.

Then there’s AI. Samsung’s Vision AI Companion layers conversational voice interaction, content discovery and generative features over the core TV experience, with support for multi-agent systems such as Copilot and Perplexity. It’s a broad church, and one that reflects the wider industry push to position the TV as a smarter, more interactive hub rather than just a display.

Samsung says availability will vary by region throughout 2026, with this initial rollout focused on the US. Pricing keeps Micro RGB firmly in premium territory; the 115-inch MR95F is listed at US$29,999.99, while the R95H series runs from US$3,199.99 (65-inch) to US$6,499.99 (85-inch). The R85H range starts at US$1,599.99 for the 55-inch model.
