Samsung’s Micro RGB TV Is Basically a Window, Not a TV

Samsung Gulf has dropped a new flagship in the UAE: the world’s first Micro RGB TV, a premium screen designed for people who treat their living room like a mini cinema rather than just a place to binge dramas. The set replaces a standard backlight with snowflake-sized red, green and blue chips, each smaller than 100 micrometres, to push more precise colour and brighter highlights. 

On top of that hardware, Samsung is leaning hard on AI. The Micro RGB AI Engine analyses every frame in real time, upscales content to 4K and tweaks both picture and sound on the fly. Add Dolby Atmos, multi-directional speakers and a super-slim metal design that scales up to 115 inches, and you’re looking at one of the most serious home cinema displays you can actually buy in the UAE. 

If you’re comparing high-end screens, it’s clearly aimed above the usual premium options like LG’s OLED evo G5 and other flagship TVs already in the UAE. 

What is Samsung’s Micro RGB TV?

This isn’t just another “brighter QLED” refresh. Micro RGB is a different way of building a TV.

• Uses microscopic RGB chips instead of a single backlight layer
• Each chip is individually controlled for more precise light and colour
• Claims pure, vibrant and true-to-life colours across the panel 
• Built around the Micro RGB AI Engine for real-time optimisation
• Aims for a picture that looks almost indistinguishable from reality

In a typical LCD or QLED TV, you get a backlight behind the pixels and local dimming zones trying their best not to wash out blacks. Micro RGB takes that further by shrinking the light source into tiny RGB elements, giving the TV much finer control over brightness and colour in different areas of the screen.

In simple terms: fewer “grey” blacks, more punch in highlights and more accurate colour shading, especially in HDR content. Samsung positions this above its existing Neo QLED range rather than replacing it. 

Picture quality: tiny chips, big upgrade

Samsung is leaning on both hardware and certifications to sell the picture quality story.

• Snowflake-sized RGB chips under 100µm for fine control of light 
• Micro RGB Precision Color promises 100% BT.2020 colour coverage
• PANTONE-validated colour accuracy for more natural skin tones and content mastering
• Micro RGB HDR+ boosts brightness pixel by pixel for HDR scenes
• Glare Free technology, UL-certified, to cut reflections in bright rooms

The headline spec is the 100% BT.2020 wide colour volume, which is a much wider colour space than the usual Rec.709 used in older TV content. Paired with Micro RGB Precision Color, the TV is tuned to display content closer to how studios master modern HDR films and shows. 

The glare-free coating is a big deal for UAE homes, where bright windows, white walls and overhead lighting are basically standard. Instead of turning your screen into a mirror, the panel is designed to reduce reflections and maintain contrast, so you can still see dark scenes in daytime matches, not just at night. 

Micro RGB AI Engine: cleaning up your content

All the hardware would be wasted without decent processing, so Samsung is stacking a long list of AI features into the Micro RGB TV.

• 4K AI Upscaling Pro with 128 neural networks to sharpen lower-res content 
• Supersize Picture Enhancer to keep big-screen images from looking soft
• AI Motion Enhancer Pro to reduce blur in fast sports and action scenes
• Micro RGB HDR+ for dynamic HDR remastering
• Active Voice Amplifier Pro to boost dialogue over background noise

The idea is simple: most of what you watch still isn’t native 4K with perfect bitrates. Streaming apps, live TV and even some sports feeds need help. The AI processor analyses each frame to reduce noise, sharpen edges and upscale detail before it hits the screen, which matters even more when you push up to 115 inches. For sports fans in the UAE, the blur reduction and motion handling will likely be just as important as the raw resolution.

The voice enhancement is handy too. Instead of turning everything up and annoying the neighbours, the TV can selectively raise dialogue so you hear speech clearly over crowd noise, explosions and background music.

Audio and design: built for a cinema room

A big screen without decent sound is just a giant laptop display. Samsung has actually paid attention to audio here.

• Multi-directional speakers on the top, sides, bottom and back of the TV 
• Object Tracking Sound+ (OTS+) so effects follow movement on screen
• Dolby Atmos support for height and surround effects
• Q-Symphony to sync with compatible Samsung soundbars
• Metal SuperSlim design, scaling up to 115 inches with a premium finish

Object Tracking Sound+ uses the TV’s multiple speakers to make sound appear to move with the action – for example, a car travelling left to right or a helicopter passing overhead. Combined with Dolby Atmos and a good Atmos soundbar, you can build a serious home cinema system without wiring speakers all over the room. If you want to see how much difference a proper Atmos setup makes, have a look at our coverage of high-end Dolby Atmos systems and soundbars in the UAE. 

On the design side, the Micro RGB set keeps things clean and slim despite its size. The Metal SuperSlim profile is aimed at luxury living rooms and dedicated media rooms where cables and bulky bezels are not welcome. Yes, 115 inches is ridiculous for a bedroom TV. No, that won’t stop anyone here from trying. 

Where Micro RGB fits in Samsung’s UAE lineup

Samsung already sells Neo QLED, OLED and lifestyle TVs like The Frame and The Frame Pro in the UAE. Micro RGB sits above all of them as the halo product for people who want “the best one” and have the budget (and wall space) to match. 

• Part of Samsung’s premium TV portfolio, not a replacement for Neo QLED or OLED
• Targets large-size screens, including 115 inches
• Focused on colour accuracy, brightness and glare-free viewing
• Designed to pair with Samsung soundbars via Q-Symphony
• Available through authorised Samsung retailers and online channels in the UAE 

If your use case is more modest – gaming on a PS5 Pro, regular Netflix and some sports – a good OLED or high-end QLED will still do the job and cost far less. We’ve already broken down how to think about 4K consoles and TV choices in the UAE in our PS5 buying guide, which still applies here if you’re not jumping straight to Micro RGB money. 

For anyone building a high-end cinema room or showpiece living space, though, Micro RGB is now the flagship Samsung wants you to look at. You can see Samsung’s full Micro RGB lineup and specs on the official site, and then compare against the rest of its TV range before swiping your card.
