Samsung - MicroLED status

Samsung is now starting to sell its new range of microLED RGB TVs, which are which are microLED-backlit LCDs. Samsung launched two series, the high-end flagship R95H and the R85H, with sizes ranging from 55-inch up to 85-inch (Samsung says it will release a 100-inch model by the end of the year).

The R95H flagship microLED RGB TV offers a 165Hz refresh rate, and Samsung's anti-glare coating, and it starts at $3,200 for the 65-inch model. The 85-inch R95H costs $6,500. 

Samsung is demonstrating a new 140-inch microLED tiled TV, in which the display continues on its edges. Samsung calls this technology a Mirror Bezel, although this is a bit misleading as the edge is a full display and not just a mirror.

The idea is that the microLED display continues on the edge of the display, and can display extra information, or extend the image, or just provide ambient lighting (similar to Philips' Ambilight). 

As we reported last week, Samsung officially launched its new RGB MicroLED TVs, which are microLED-backlit LCDs. Samsung launched two series, the high-end flagship R95H and the R85H.

We'll start with the R95H, which is Samsung's flagship 2026 TV, that will be available in 130, 85, 75 and 65 inches. These are all 4K 144Hz LCDs that offer a color gamut of 100% Rec.2020, Tizen OS 10, Wireless One Connect Ready, Anti-glare coating, Eclipsa Audio, HDR10+, HFR, VRR, and HLG. The R95H utilize Samsung's latest Micro RGB AI Engine Pro processor.

In early 2025, Samsung demonstrated a prototype microLED smart mirror device, that utilizes AI to scan your face and recommend treatment solutions to tailor your skin. Today Samsung Electronics announced that it is set to release this device as an actual product.

Samsung aims to grow the AI beauty mirror not as a single product but as a "K-beauty data platform", building an ecosystem that connects skin diagnosis to product recommendations. Samsung's first partners are Amorepacific, Kolmar Korea, Olive Young, and Twiinnet. Last year it collaborated with Innisfree, which will likely be a partner too.

According to Korean media reports, Samsung will launch a flagship 130-inch microLED RGB TV (microLED-backlit LCD) at CES 2026 next week. It is likely this model will be quite pricey, as Samsung's current 115-inch model costs $30,000.

A few weeks ago we reported that Samsung will introduce new microLED RGB TVs at CES, five different models: 55-, 65-, 75-, 85-, and 100-inches. But it seems it has recently decided to also launch a new flagship model, at 130-inch.

Samsung Electronics announced that it will unveil a new range of RGB MicroLED LCD TV at CES 2026. Samsung will introduces five new sizes - 55-, 65-, 75-, 85-, and 100-inches. Samsung is certainly aiming to offer more affordable panels that what it is currently offering.

Last year, Samsung Electronics launched the world's first microLED backlit LCD, the 115" MicroLED RGB, priced at $32,000 in Korea (and $29,999 in the US).

A couple of months ago Samsung launched its first microLED RGB TV, the MR95F 115" 4K 120Hz LCD TV that is backlit by red, green and blue microLEDs. The TV was available in Korea for 45 million Won, or around $32,000 USD, and it is now available for pre-order in the US with a slightly smaller price tag, only $29,999. 

Samsung says that this TV "establishes a new benchmark for color accuracy, contrast and immersive viewing in the ultra-premium TV segment". The TV supports a wide 100% BT.2020 color gamut.

Samsung Display has published a public call-out for Korean Universities to propose new display research projects, in a wide range of areas - mostly OLED displays and next-generation displays.

SDC will select up to 10 projects, and will award 100-200 million Won ($70,000 - $150,000 USD) per year to each project. Our of these 10 projects, 2-3 projects will receive an additional 600 million Won ($430,000 USD) over two years.

Samsung Electronics officially launched its first microLED RGB TV. The 115" TV is an LCD TV that is backlit by red, green and blue microLEDs. Samsung says that this TV "establishes a new benchmark for color accuracy, contrast and immersive viewing in the ultra-premium TV segment".  The TV supports a wide 100% BT.2020 color gamut.

The TV is now available in Korea, and it will also launch in the US - and globally - soon. The price in Korea is 45 million Won, or around $32,000 USD. This is a premium product indeed - although the price is much lower than a comparable true microLED Samsung TV.

During the K-Display 2025 conference, Samsung Display unveiled a new flexible wearable microLED display. This new panel offers a brightness of 6,000 nits, and a density of 326 PPI. 

Samsung says that this new display has 700,000 microLED chips, each 30 um in size. This means the resolution is likely to be 640×360. The size, in that case, will be about 2.25 inch diagonal, which is quite large for a smartwatch.
