New Delhi: LG is set to debut its first-ever flagship RGB television at the Consumer Electronics Show 2026. It is called the LG Micro RGB evo, the latest TV will use individual red, green and blue LEDs as its backlight system, a move LG stated will enable far more precise colour and brightness control than existing LCD-based technologies. LG also noted that the Micro RGB evo has already picked up the CES 2026 Innovation Award and will be showcased publicly in Las Vegas in January. LG’s latest flagship TV is what the company calls Micro RGB Technology, which replaces traditional white LED backlights and colour filters. LG’s approach directly generates colour at the backlight level, allowing finer control over the colour accuracy, brightness and contrast.
LG has stated it has applied techniques developed over more than a decade of OLED TV development to this RGB LCD platform, using the OLED-style precision to control each RGB LED. The TV is powered by the latest Alpha 11 AI Processor Gen 3, which comes with a dual AI upscaling system designed to handle different types of content simultaneously. The TV achieves 100% colour gamut coverage across BT.2020, DCI-P3 and Adobe RGB standards, a level typically associated with professional reference displays.
This makes it more particularly relevant for HDR content, cinema-grade viewing and colour-critical work such as photo or video editing. The contrast performance is handled through Micro Dimming Ultra, which uses more than a thousand local dimming zones to manage the light output across the screen. The TV preserves fine detail in both dark and bright scenes while avoiding common LCD issues like blooming. The Micro RGB evo runs LG’s latest webOS software, with features such as Voice ID, personalised home screens, AI-powered picture and sound tuning tools, and expanded content discovery options. LG is positioning the TV as both a high-end display and a more personalised smart TV experience.
The LG Micro RGB evo will be available in 100-inch, 86-inch and 75-inch sizes. The 100-inch version is the model that received the CES 2026 Innovation Award. LG’s announcement comes at a time when other TV makers are also pushing toward RGB-based backlight systems. Sony recently trademarked the term True RGB in Japan and Canada. According to some reports, the trademark has fueled speculation that Sony may come with the RGB-mini LED technology as part of its 2026 Bravia TV lineup.
