LG has a new plan beyond OLED: a Micro RGB television of up to 100 inches to fight in the high-end LED range

If we look at a premium television today, we find a map that is increasingly difficult to read. OLED, Mini LED, the very expensive MicroLED, RGB MiniLED, Micro RGB: many names sound similar, but they do not mean the same thing nor do they promise to solve the same problems. And that difference matters, because we're not just talking about marketing, but about how the screen lights up, how color is reproduced, and what viewing experience we can expect when we bring the TV into the living room. In this increasingly populated field, LG now appears with the MRGB evo AI.

The interesting thing is that the brand arrives when Micro RGB has already begun to move in the market. At Xataka we have seen it up close with the Samsung R95H, the company's first Micro RGB. The underlying idea is that the high-end LED range also begins to compete because of how the light behind the panel works. In other words, the fight is no longer just about having more inches or more brightness, but about better controlling how the color is generated.

That's where LG's latest move for Spain comes in. The company has announced a family of premium LED televisions in sizes of 75, 86 and 100 inches, with the focus on color, brightness and large format. In its communication, LG insists that this proposal is based on the experience accumulated over years with its OLED televisions, especially in image processing and precision.

The high-end LED has changed: LG also wants to play with light and color

To understand the proposal, it is advisable to separate the pieces well. LG's Micro RGB technology continues to work on an LED base, but changes the way the panel is illuminated: instead of relying on a more traditional LED backlight, it uses a backlight made up of independently controlled red, green and blue LEDs. These LEDs, they promise, are smaller than the company's own Mini LEDs and are designed to expand color reproduction. The key, therefore, is not in each pixel emitting light on its own, but in fine-tuning the lighting that comes from behind much more.

Here appears the bridge that the brand wants to build with its most recognizable territory. The company assures that MRGB uses “OLED precision” to control each of the RGB LEDs in the backlight, a way of presenting this technology as an heir to part of its image experience, although applied to another family of televisions. The technical protagonist of this idea is the third generation 4K α11 processor, a family of chips associated with LG's most ambitious televisions.

The promise of the image relies, above all, on color. According to LG, this model is the first Micro RGB TV to obtain the triple certification of 100% TriColor color coverage by Intertek, with full coverage of BT.2020, DCI-P3 and Adobe RGB. We are talking about three color spaces that serve to measure how far a screen can go when reproducing different tones, from audiovisual standards to more demanding image uses. Added to this, always according to official information, are up to 13,104 Micro LEDs, 5,184 independent zones and a peak of up to 3,000 nits.

The manufacturer also talks about Anti-glare Pro with a reduction of up to 98% in controlled conditions, a promise designed for those who watch television during the day or in bright rooms. Added to that are Dolby Vision for compatible HDR content, Dolby Atmos for surround sound and a design ready to stick to the wall. It is a less striking part than the backlight, but important to complete the audiovisual experience without limiting it only to color and brightness.

Anyone who has used a recent LG television knows very well that webOS is the basis of its interface. Here the difference is in the package that accompanies it: search with Gemini and Copilot, voice control, recommendations, virtual assistant and updates planned until 2031. LG also includes Shield to reinforce privacy, data security and system integrity. Operation relies once again on the Magic Pointer Remote, the remote control with a wireless pointer that allows you to move around the interface with a motion sensor and scroll wheel.

If we buy a television of this type, we probably won't do it just to watch movies or series with the highest quality possible. We also expect it to respond well when we connect a console, use a PC or access a cloud gaming service. There LG places several pieces on the table: VRR at 165 Hz, a variable refresh rate that allows the screen to adapt its rhythm to the game signal to gain fluidity and avoid jumps in the image. Add to that Motion Booster up to 330 Hz, AMD FreeSync Premium and compatibility with GeForce NOW.

Price and availability of the LG Micro RGB evo AI

In the commercial section there is an important nuance. LG has not included prices in the press release sent in Spain, but figures do appear on the company's Spanish website. It is not confirmed if they are recommended RRP, discounted final prices or promotional amounts. These are the prices that we can see right now on LG's Spanish website:

- 75-inch LG Micro RGB evo AI MRGB96 Smart TV: 2,696.10 euros

- 86-inch LG Micro RGB evo AI MRGB96 Smart TV: 3,564.86 euros

- LG Micro RGB evo AI MRGB96 100-inch Smart TV: 11,480.03 euros

We have contacted LG to confirm the exact nature of those prices. We will update the article when the firm confirms whether these amounts correspond to the recommended RRP, final price or promotion.
