LG Opens Preorders for Micro RGB Evo TVs Starting at $5,000

The move signals a push into a new high‑end TV class that uses separate red, green and blue LEDs to boost color and brightness without the burn‑in risk of OLED.

Overview

  • LG, which opened U.S. preorders Wednesday, priced the Micro RGB evo at $4,999 for 75 inches, $6,999 for 86 inches and $7,999 for 100 inches.
  • Samsung’s R95H Micro RGB flagship is already on sale, with listings from $3,200 for 65 inches and $4,499 for 75 inches, and the company and reviewers say it can cover up to 100% of the BT.2020 color gamut.
  • Independent lab testing by Tom’s Guide measured Hisense’s UR9 RGB Mini‑LED at about 93% of BT.2020, calling it one of the most colorful TVs they have tested.
  • Micro RGB replaces white or blue backlights with individually controlled red, green and blue LEDs, which allows finer color control and high HDR punch while avoiding OLED burn‑in.
  • Brands are launching these models as large, premium flagships now, and Samsung has confirmed lower‑tier R85H sets in 55 and 65 inches starting at $1,599, with Sony’s detailed rollout still to come.
