LG Electronics said on the 16th that it will debut the LG Micro RGB Evo at CES 2026, the world's largest home appliance and IT trade show, to be held in Las Vegas, U.S., Jan. 6–9 (local time) next year.
Micro RGB is a technology that miniaturizes the light source used in the backlight, an essential component of liquid crystal display (LCD) TVs, and uses red (R), green (G), and blue (B) light-emitting diodes (LEDs) as the light source instead of conventional white to maximize color reproduction. Even if similar technology is used, the picture quality that customers actually experience will differ depending on how precisely the LED backlight is controlled and the ability to accurately render the different wavelengths of RGB.
LG Electronics said it applied precise light-source control technology accumulated through LG OLED, which has held the global No. 1 spot in OLED TVs for 13 years, to the Micro RGB Evo to deliver picture quality that surpasses typical LCD TVs. By applying the sophisticated technology of OLED TVs, which control self-emissive pixels at the pixel level, to Micro RGB TVs, it independently controls RGB LEDs at the light-source level.
To that end, the LG Micro RGB Evo is equipped with the 3rd-generation Alpha 11 AI processor based on a dual AI engine, the same processor used in the 2026 OLED TV lineup. With the powerful performance of the industry's only AI processor dedicated to OLED picture and sound, it achieves picture quality that surpasses the limits of LCD TVs through the "Micro Dimming Ultra" technology, which precisely controls screen brightness and contrast. It provides natural, well-balanced images through "Dual Super Upscaling," which processes two types of AI upscaling simultaneously.
LG Electronics said the product received the "Triple 100% Color Coverage" certification from Intertek, a global testing and certification organization. Meeting 100% of the broadcasting standard (BT.2020), digital cinema standard (DCI-P3), and photo/graphics standard (Adobe RGB) means it reproduces color optimized for various use cases, including high-definition broadcasting, movies, photography, and video editing.
Personalized customer experiences, which are steadily upgraded based on LG TV's five AI features—AI Concierge, AI Search, AI Chatbot, AI Personalized Picture/Sound Wizard, and Voice ID—are also applied to the LG Micro RGB Evo.
Through LG Electronics' proprietary smart TV platform webOS, users can enjoy a growing array of content—art, games, movies, shopping—without separate equipment such as a set-top box or console.
The LG Micro RGB Evo also received a CES Innovation Award, presented by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA) to the most innovative products and services ahead of the opening of CES 2026.
Park Hyeong-se, head of the MS Business Unit at LG Electronics (president), said, "The LG Micro RGB Evo is a premium LCD TV unlike anything before, delivering innovative picture quality and color by applying the DNA of the world's No. 1 OLED."
