Samsung's latest Micro RGB technology appears to utilise traditional LCD panels along with backlighting, but it may feature the sharpest local dimming available to date.

Samsung's innovatory Micro RGB technology, while technically an LCD panel with a backlight, promises the finest local dimming available.

In a groundbreaking development, Samsung has introduced Micro RGB technology, a novel LCD backlighting system that promises to revolutionise the gaming monitor market. This innovative technology uses micrometre-scale red, green, and blue LEDs positioned behind the panel, each individually controllable to produce precise colors and contrast.

Unlike traditional LED LCD TVs that use white LEDs with colour filters or Mini-LED backlights typically emitting blue or white light, Micro RGB uses separate RGB micro-LEDs (under 100 micrometers in size) for backlighting, enabling finer local dimming and richer, more accurate color reproduction with full BT.2020 color gamut coverage.

While Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) displays are emissive (each pixel produces its own light) and offer perfect black levels by turning off pixels individually, Micro RGB is a backlit LCD technology, still requiring a panel to modulate light. However, by controlling individual red, green, and blue LEDs at a micro scale as backlight, Micro RGB achieves local dimming effectiveness close to OLED, reducing blooming (halo effect) seen in Mini-LED and conventional LED LCDs, and maintaining high brightness levels superior to OLED.

Micro RGB technology differs from microLED technology, which are true emissive displays made of microscopic red, green, and blue LEDs forming the image without a backlight. Samsung's Micro RGB is not a self-emissive panel but a sophisticated backlight solution for LCDs, whereas microLEDs produce light and color at each pixel independently. MicroLEDs generally offer OLED-like contrast and color performance with potentially better durability and brightness but are typically more complex and expensive to manufacture at large sizes. Samsung's Micro RGB TV bridges a gap by offering enhanced LCD backlighting benefits approaching those of OLED and microLED at large screen sizes, with lower power consumption and without some microLED production challenges.

Key Differences

| Technology | Light Source Type | Color Control | Contrast & Black Levels | Brightness | Production Complexity | |------------------|--------------------------------------|---------------------------------|-------------------------------|-----------------------|--------------------------------------| | Micro RGB | Micro-scale RGB LEDs as backlight | Independent red/green/blue LEDs | Local dimming close to OLED | Very high brightness | New but based on LCD tech, less complex than microLED | | OLED | Self-emissive organic pixels | Each pixel emits own light/color | Perfect blacks, pixel off | Moderate brightness | Mature, complex materials | | MicroLED | Self-emissive microscopic RGB LEDs | Each pixel independent LED | Perfect blacks, very high contrast | Very high brightness | High complexity, costly manufacturing |

The Future of Gaming Monitors

Samsung's Micro RGB is an advanced LED-backlight system with micro-sized RGB LEDs behind an LCD panel, enabling superior color and contrast control with higher brightness and energy efficiency compared to traditional Mini-LED or LCD TVs. It offers an alternative to OLED and microLED by combining pixel-level color backlighting with LCD modulation instead of self-emissive pixels.

Compared to existing LCD gaming monitors with mini-LED local dimming, the new Micro RGB tech has separate RGB LEDs for each backlight that can be controlled individually. Brighter OLED panels still seem like the best solution in the medium term when it comes to lighting control, contrast, and HDR performance. However, Micro RGB panels may offer an interesting value-orientated alternative.
