New display tech — and object of lust — alert: Samsung is launching yet another backlighting technology that it is calling micro RGB TV. This “uses red, green, and blue Micro-LEDs to unlock hyper-real color and contrast.” Samsung is claiming an industry-first 100% color coverage of BT.2020 and Pantone Validated colors. The technology supports 144Hz refresh rates for gaming and “Micro RGB HDR+” (but no Dolby Vision or specific brightness claims). Samsung is also using its best glare-free coating (that should significantly increase viewing comfort and apparent contrast), 4K AI upscaling, Dolby Atmos speakers, and Bixby AI for its visual search and voice interface.
The first set is 115″ and shipping in the U.S. and Korea for $30,000. I should be getting eyes-on with one at Samsung HQ in the coming weeks.
