Samsung Electronics has officially unveiled the world’s first 130-inch Micro RGB TV (model R95H) at CES 2026, marking the company’s largest Micro RGB display to date. The ultra-premium television features next-generation color reproduction, AI-driven picture processing, and a redesigned frame aesthetic inspired by architectural windows. The announcement positions Samsung at the forefront of the ultra-large TV segment as competition in premium display technology intensifies.
What’s New in the 130-Inch Model
The R95H features Samsung’s proprietary Micro RGB technology, which uses individually controlled red, green, and blue micro LEDs smaller than 100 micrometers arranged behind the LCD panel. This architecture enables the TV to achieve 100% coverage of the BT.2020 color gamut, an international color accuracy standard established by the International Telecommunication Union.
Samsung introduced a “Timeless Frame” design for the 130-inch model, evolving its 2013 Timeless Gallery aesthetic with a refined frame that makes the screen appear to float within architectural-style borders. The display integrates audio directly into the frame, balancing sound output to match the screen’s massive scale.
The TV debuts at Samsung’s Exhibition Zone during CES 2026 in Las Vegas, running January 6-9, 2026. Samsung has not announced pricing or availability details yet.
Advanced Picture and AI Features
The 130-inch model runs on the Micro RGB AI Engine Pro, which analyzes each frame in real time to optimize color output and contrast. The system includes Micro RGB Color Booster Pro to enhance dull tones and Micro RGB HDR Pro for refined detail in both bright and dark scenes.
Key technical capabilities include:
- Micro RGB Precision Color 100: Delivers 100% BT.2020 wide color gamut with VDE certification
- Glare Free technology: Minimizes reflections to preserve color accuracy across varied lighting
- HDR10+ ADVANCED: Industry-first next-gen HDR10+ implementation
- 144Hz refresh rate: Variable refresh rate support for gaming
The TV supports Eclipsa Audio and includes Samsung’s Vision AI Companion with conversational search, AI Football Mode Pro, Live Translate, Generative Wallpaper, Microsoft Copilot, and Perplexity integration.
Why This Matters for the TV Market
Samsung’s 130-inch launch comes as the company expands its Micro RGB lineup downmarket with more affordable 55-, 65-, 75-, 85-, and 100-inch models. The original 115-inch Micro RGB TV launched in August 2025 at $30,000, limiting its market reach.
Micro RGB technology positions Samsung between Mini-LED and Micro-LED displays by using RGB backlighting instead of white backlighting found in conventional LCDs. This approach delivers significantly higher brightness than OLED while avoiding OLED’s burn-in risks and brightness limitations in well-lit rooms.
The 130-inch model directly targets the ultra-premium home theater segment as competition from other vendors enters the Micro RGB space.
Micro RGB vs. Other Display Technologies
| Feature | Micro RGB | OLED | Mini-LED |
|---|---|---|---|
| Color accuracy | 100% BT.2020 | ~75-80% BT.2020 | ~90% BT.2020 |
| Peak brightness | Higher sustained levels | Limited in bright rooms | High but less color-pure |
| Black levels | Zone-based dimming | Perfect pixel-level | Zone-based dimming |
| Burn-in risk | None (inorganic LEDs) | Yes (organic compounds) | None |
| Backlight type | RGB micro LEDs | Self-emissive pixels | White LEDs |
What’s Next for Samsung’s Micro RGB Lineup
Samsung will showcase the 130-inch model throughout CES 2026 but has not confirmed whether it will reach retail availability. The company is expected to focus on launching its smaller, more affordable Micro RGB models in 2026 to broaden market access.
Industry observers anticipate pricing announcements closer to the official launch date, though the 130-inch model will likely exceed the $30,000 price point of the 115-inch version. Samsung’s 2026 TV lineup represents the industry’s first implementation of HDR10+ ADVANCED technology.
The company continues to position Micro RGB as its flagship premium display technology, emphasizing its immunity to burn-in and superior color reproduction compared to OLED alternatives.
