Samsung has unveiled the world’s first 115-inch Micro RGB TV, priced at USD 30,000, delivering 100% BT.2020 color gamut coverage and exceptional contrast.

The future of television may be arriving sooner than expected, as Samsung introduces its highly anticipated 115-inch Micro RGB TV - one of the most cutting-edge and talked-about displays in recent years.

This is the first model in its class, priced at over USD 30,000 and boasting technical specifications that rival or even outperform today’s most premium TVs.

The star feature is its Micro RGB technology. Unlike Mini-LEDs, known for superior backlight control, deep blacks, and high brightness, Micro RGB goes further by using ultra-tiny LEDs - each less than 0.1mm - composed of red, green, and blue elements arranged in a complex matrix.

This minute scale allows for incredibly precise contrast control. Samsung claims its 115-inch Micro RGB TV achieves 100% BT.2020 color gamut coverage - an international benchmark for color accuracy no commercial TV has previously attained. For comparison, Samsung’s leading OLED model, the S95F, covers around 90.2% of the BT.2020 spectrum.

Combining minuscule LED size with independent light emission for each primary color, the Micro RGB system produces outstanding contrast and a vibrant color range. At CES 2025, the 115-inch display became the showpiece of every room it occupied.

The TV also features a 144Hz refresh rate, intelligent features, Samsung’s Vision AI software suite, and a matte anti-glare coating similar to the brand’s high-end OLED series.

However, according to Tom’s Guide, this Micro RGB model is not a “true” MicroLED TV. Genuine MicroLED displays are self-emissive, where each pixel emits its own light. These offer perfect blacks and higher brightness than OLED without the risk of image retention (burn-in). Yet the production cost remains prohibitively high. Samsung’s smallest true MicroLED TV, at 89 inches, still costs around USD 100,000.

Nonetheless, the launch of the 115-inch Micro RGB TV is seen as a pivotal bridge between today’s premium Mini-LEDs and the future of MicroLED displays, which remain technologically ideal but financially inaccessible.

Samsung has announced that the TV will debut in South Korea at 44.9 million won (approximately USD 32,300), with plans to roll it out in the US and other markets soon after.
