LG has long dominated the OLED market, but 2026 marks a shift toward RGB LED displays as nearly every major manufacturer introduces models using the new technology. The company's $3,600 75-inch Micro RGB evo MRGB95B, currently under review, illustrates both the potential and limitations of the format.

The MRGB95B is available in three screen sizes, with the 75-inch version representing the smallest option. It includes four HDMI 2.1 ports, supports Dolby Vision (though not the newer Dolby Vision 2 or HDR10+), and ships with LG's redesigned Magic Remote, which adopts a more conventional shape compared to earlier curved models. The television runs on webOS and delivers responsive performance, though its interface is perceived as less intuitive than platforms like Google TV, Apple TV, or Roku. All major streaming applications are supported.

RGB LED technology employs separate red, green, and blue LED backlights, enabling more precise color reproduction than traditional white or blue LED backlights that rely on filters or quantum dots. This architecture can yield higher color brightness and expanded color gamut coverage. LG refers to the technology as Micro RGB, while competitors often use the term Mini RGB LED. Despite smaller individual LED units, neither LG nor Samsung has confirmed increased zone counts or performance gains.

In practical testing, the MRGB95B achieves high peak brightness, measuring 4,011 nits in HDR Filmmaker mode, which enhances visibility in sunlit environments. Highlights in scenes from films like *The Meg* appear particularly vivid in bright rooms. However, the display exhibits notable drawbacks. Out-of-the-box color accuracy shows measurable deviation, with a tendency toward light blue tones that affect skin tones and cause white elements to appear subtly tinted. The glossy screen surface produces significant reflections, especially under direct lighting, resulting in rainbow artifacts and reduced contrast in darker scenes. Local dimming performance also shows more blooming than competing models.

Viewing angles remain constrained by the underlying LED architecture, leading to color washout when observed from off-center positions. While the TV performs adequately in controlled lighting, ambient light sources such as ceiling or floor lamps can severely impact perceived image quality during evening viewing.

LG's recent security concerns have drawn attention after a Gamers Nexus investigation identified potential vulnerabilities and continuous audio recording features. LG has contested these findings. During initial setup, users may bypass acceptance of the webOS terms of use and privacy policy, though doing so limits access to built-in streaming services and requires external devices for content access. The television supports Dolby Atmos, Dolby Atmos FlexConnect, and offers gaming-oriented features including variable refresh rate, auto low-latency mode, and G-Sync compatibility.

Compared directly with other models, the MRGB95B faces strong competition. The Sony Bravia 7 II delivers superior color accuracy and better reflection handling at a lower price point, while the Hisense UR9 offers comparable performance at a reduced cost. Within LG's own lineup, the G6 OLED and Samsung S95H provide significantly improved contrast, viewing angles, and color fidelity for only a modest price premium. These OLED alternatives achieve perfect blacks through pixel-level light control, eliminating blooming but sacrificing peak brightness.

Overall, the MRGB95B functions effectively in specific scenarios, particularly well-lit environments where high brightness is advantageous. However, its out-of-the-box color inaccuracies, reflection issues, and competitive positioning suggest it does not represent a decisive advancement in display technology. For many consumers, LG's OLED offerings may present a more balanced combination of performance and value.

The Verge's testing methodology involves extended use across varied lighting conditions, including daylight, artificial lighting, and darkness. Evaluations incorporate streaming content, physical media playback, and gaming across multiple platforms. Measurement tools include Calman color calibration software, Murideo pattern generators, and spectrophotometer-based color analysis equipment. Results reflect performance as delivered from the factory, without professional calibration, mirroring typical consumer experience.
