<h3></h3>
<h3><strong>So, what should you consider when choosing a high-performance TV?</strong></h3>
<p>Verify that the television uses advanced technologies such as Real Quantum Dot, capable of reproducing accurate and consistent colours, even in very bright scenes. Look for equipment that offers 100% colour volume<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span><sup>[2]</sup></span></a> , which delivers more vivid and accurate images across different types of content.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Brightness stability:</strong> a Real Quamtum Dot TV maintains brightness and colour intensity without degrading. Opt for technologies that do not use elements such as cadmium<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><span><sup>[3]</sup></span></a>, which are associated with better long-term performance and current sustainability standards. Beyond resolution, consider how the image behaves under different lighting conditions and in content such as movies, sports or video games.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Choosing a television goes beyond comparing sizes or resolutions:</strong> it involves understanding how the technology behind the image works.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>By considering these recommendations, you can make better decisions and enjoy a viewing experience that lasts.</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-25092 size-large" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Micro_RGB_Thumnail_768163-1024x576.jpeg" alt="" width="1024" height="576" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Micro_RGB_Thumnail_768163-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Micro_RGB_Thumnail_768163-728x410.jpeg 728w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Micro_RGB_Thumnail_768163-1000x563.jpeg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Micro_RGB_Thumnail_768163-768x432.jpeg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Display innovation has always been at the heart of <span>Samsung</span>’s television leadership, and the company is once again rewriting the rules of what a screen can offer. With the unveiling of the <strong>115-inch Micro RGB television</strong>, Samsung introduces micro-sized Red, Green, Blue (RGB) colour precision backlight<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><sup>[1]</sup></span></a> display of its kind, marking a bold new chapter in Samsung’s TV technology and visual performance.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Building on the success of Samsung’s <span>Quantum Mini LED</span> technology, Micro RGB pushes the frontier even further. By harnessing microscopic red, green and blue LEDs as a direct backlight, Samsung has created a display capable of unprecedented colour precision, lifelike realism and intelligent picture processing<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span><sup>[2]</sup></span></a>. The result is a television experience<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><span><sup>[3]</sup></span></a> that feels less like watching a screen and more like opening a window to another world.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>A Breakthrough in Colour Technology</strong></h3>
<p>At the core of the new Micro RGB display is a revolutionary approach to colour reproduction. Ultra-thin RGB LEDs emit pure red, green and blue light independently. Unlike traditional TVs that rely on white backlights filtered through colour layers, Micro RGB produces colour directly from the source.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This microscopic precision allows the display to render colours with remarkable depth and accuracy while supporting nearly the entire range of colours visible to the human eye. The system also optimises sound, ensuring dialogue clarity and immersive depth that matches the vivid visuals.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Three Innovations that make the Micro RGB special;</strong></h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Big Technology in Microscopic Form</strong><br />
Micro RGB technology uses microscopic red, green and blue LEDs that act as a direct backlight system. These LEDs are smaller than those used in Mini LED technology and deliver independent colour emission for richer tones, deeper contrast and the widest colour spectrum ever offered on a Samsung TV.</li>
<li><strong>Unmatched Colour Accuracy</strong><br />
The Micro RGB display achieves <strong>100% of the </strong><span>2020 colour gamut</span>, surpassing the widely used <span>DCI-P3</span> standard. Certified by VDE<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><sup>[1]</sup></span></a>, this achievement ensures every shade appears balanced and authentic, producing images that are strikingly close to real life.</li>
<li><strong>The Power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Processing</strong><br />
Driving the experience is the <strong>Micro RGB AI Engine</strong>, powered by Samsung’s advanced chipset. Using 128 AI neural networks, the processor analyses content in real time to optimise every scene. The AI engine controls each RGB light individually to enhance colours, sharpen motion and upscale lower-resolution content to stunning 4K quality.</li>
</ul>
<h3></h3>
<h3><strong>A Premium Home Entertainment Experience</strong></h3>
<p>Beyond its breakthrough display technology, the Micro RGB television integrates a range of advanced features designed to elevate the home viewing experience:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Micro RGB Colour Booster Pro</strong> – AI-powered colour enhancement for richer, more vibrant visuals</li>
<li><span><strong>Dolby Atmos</strong></span> – cinematic sound powered by built-in top-channel speakers</li>
<li><strong>Glare-Free Screen<a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4"><span><sup>[4]</sup></span></a> – comfortable viewing anytime with reduced reflections, ensuring clear, distraction-free visuals even in bright rooms</strong></li>
<li><strong>Object Tracking Sound</strong> – audio that follows the movement on screen for realistic immersion</li>
<li><strong>Q-Symphony<a href="#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5"><span><sup>[5]</sup></span></a> – synchronised sound between Samsung TVs and compatible soundbars</strong></li>
<li><strong>Metal SuperSlim Design</strong> – a refined, premium metal frame that complements the expansive 115-inch display</li>
<li><strong>Vision AI Companion<a href="#_ftn6" name="_ftnref6"><span><sup>[6]</sup></span></a> – enhanced search and voice interaction powered by <span>Bixby<a href="#_ftn7" name="_ftnref7"><span><sup>[7]</sup></span></a> </span></strong></li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With Micro RGB, Samsung demonstrates that the future of television lies not only in bigger screens but in smarter, more precise control of light and colour. By combining microscopic LED technology with advanced AI processing, the company is redefining how images are created, displayed and experienced.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As Samsung continues to push the boundaries of display innovation, the Micro RGB television signals a new era where colour, intelligence and design converge to deliver the most immersive viewing experience yet.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

									<description><![CDATA[Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. has announced the official launch of its Micro RGB, one of the world’s best displays to feature a micro-scale RGB LED backlight]]></description>
																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. has announced the official launch of its Micro RGB, one of the world’s best displays to feature a micro-scale RGB LED backlight behind a large 115-inch screen. This breakthrough display establishes a new benchmark for colour accuracy<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><sup>[1]</sup></span></a>, contrast and immersive viewing in the ultra-premium TV segment.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung’s Micro RGB is built on Samsung’s proprietary Micro RGB Technology, which arranges individually controlled red, green and blue micro RGB LEDs <span>— each less than 100µm </span>in size <span>— in an ultra-fine pattern </span>behind the panel. Unlike conventional backlighting, the architecture enables precision control over each red, green and blue RGB LED.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-25014 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Samsung-TVs-and-Displays-Micro-RGB-LED-AI-Color-Booster-Pro-Precision-Color_main1.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="620" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Samsung-TVs-and-Displays-Micro-RGB-LED-AI-Color-Booster-Pro-Precision-Color_main1.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Samsung-TVs-and-Displays-Micro-RGB-LED-AI-Color-Booster-Pro-Precision-Color_main1-908x563.jpg 908w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Samsung-TVs-and-Displays-Micro-RGB-LED-AI-Color-Booster-Pro-Precision-Color_main1-768x476.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Micro RGB achieves unprecedented precision in the control of micrometre-sized RGB LEDs, raising the bar for colour accuracy and contrast in consumer displays,” said Taeyong Son, Executive Vice President and Head of the R&amp;D Team of the Visual Display (VD) Business at Samsung Electronics. “With this launch, we’re setting the standard in the large-sized, ultra-premium TV market and reinforcing our commitment to next-generation display innovation.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Micro RGB is powered by Samsung’s Micro RGB Artificial Intelligence (AI) engine, which uses AI processing to fully optimise both picture and sound<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span><sup>[2]</sup></span></a>. This advanced technology analyses each frame in real time and automatically optimises colour output for a more lifelike and immersive picture. With this AI engine, Micro RGB Colour Booster Pro recognises scenes with dull colour tones and enhances colours across all content for a more vivid and immersive viewing experience<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><span><sup>[3]</sup></span></a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Additionally, Samsung’s Micro RGB features Micro RGB Precision Colour, ensuring colours are delivered as intended for maximum accuracy and vividness, with precisely controlled colours that achieves 100% colour coverage of BT.2020, an international standard for colour accuracy established by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). The display also received ‘Micro RGB Precision Colour’ certification from the Verband der Elektrotechnik (VDE), one of the top German electrical engineering certification institutes.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With Glare Free<a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4"><span><sup>[4]</sup></span></a> technology, Samsung’s Micro RGB minimises reflections, even in bright lighting conditions for a more comfortable and focused viewing experience. Apart from providing next-generation performance, Micro RGB’s super slim metal design achieves a sleek, minimalistic profile to complement any interior.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With Samsung Vision AI integrated, Samsung’s Micro RGB brings the latest state-of-the-art AI technologies including AI picture and sound and a smarter Bixby<a href="#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5"><span><sup>[5]</sup></span></a> voice assistant, powered by generative AI &#8211; which offers a more conversational and personalised experience for TV users to get more from what they’re watching without leaving the screen.</p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span>Samsung’s Micro RGB is also secured by Samsung Knox, one of the industry’s best security solution designed to protect users’ sensitive personal data and Samsung’s seven (7)-year free<a href="#_ftn6" name="_ftnref6"><span><sup>[6]</sup></span></a> Tizen OS Upgrade program &#8211; which ensures ongoing software enhancements and long-term support.

<p>As businesses settle into the realities of hybrid and flexible work models, one thing becomes clear &#8211; productivity no longer depends solely on where work happens, but on how well workspaces are equipped and fit for purpose. From corporate offices to home setups, display technology has emerged as a critical enabler of focus, efficiency, and employee well-being.</p>
<h3></h3>
<h3>Back to Work, Back to Productivity</h3>
<p>The return to structured work routines is prompting organisations to rethink their workspace standards. Employees are moving between offices, home desks and shared environments, often using multiple devices and applications throughout the day. High-quality monitors play a pivotal role in supporting this shift by helping to minimise distractions and maintain consistency across work locations.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>A well-chosen monitor can support smoother workflows and more effective collaboration, whether an employee is sifting through data at headquarters or joining a virtual meeting from their home office.</p>
<h3></h3>
<h3>Choosing the Right Monitor Matters</h3>
<p>The importance of display quality on daily productivity is paramount and the right monitor setup delivers tangible business benefits:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Greater screen clarity and real estate</strong> enable employees to manage multiple windows, documents, and tools simultaneously, improving task efficiency and reducing time lost to constant switching.</li>
<li><strong>Ergonomic design</strong> helps reduce eye strain, neck tension and fatigue, supporting long-term comfort and healthier work habits over extended hours.</li>
<li><strong>Flexible connectivity options</strong> simplify device integration, allowing employees to move seamlessly between laptops, desktops and shared systems without unnecessary downtime.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h3>Designed for Different Business Use Cases</h3>
<p>No two roles work the same way and monitor choices should reflect this reality:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Single large-format screens</strong> are ideal for finance, operations and analytics professionals who require clarity and precision when working with complex data.</li>
<li><strong>Ultra-wide displays</strong> support creative teams, developers and multitaskers who benefit from expanded horizontal space and uninterrupted workflows.</li>
