LG Prices First Micro RGB TV as Hisense Test Sets New Color Benchmark

The rollout signals a premium debut for RGB LED, with early lab data pointing to real gains in color range.

Overview

  • LG opened preorders for its Micro RGB evo MRGB95, listing a 75-inch model at $4,999 with 86- and 100-inch options on its site.
  • Engadget notes the set uses LG’s Alpha A11 processor and a Micro RGB Engine to drive arrays of red, green, and blue LEDs across more than a thousand dimming zones.
  • Tom’s Guide lab measurements found the Hisense UR9 covers about 93% of the BT.2020 gamut, making it one of the most colorful TVs the outlet has tested, with a full review still to come.
  • Flagship RGB LED models now include Hisense UR9, Samsung R95H, TCL RM9L, and LG MRGB95, with 75-inch prices clustered around $4,499 to $4,999 and higher premiums for 85- to 100-inch screens.
  • RGB and Micro RGB replace white or blue backlights with separate red, green, and blue LEDs to boost color purity and brightness, though real-world picture quality will still hinge on contrast control, image processing, and how content is mastered.
