This year marks a significant shift in the world of TVs as next-generation models with more accurate colors than ever before are set to hit the market. The new backlighting technology behind these panels is called RGB LED, or micro RGB for short, and it promises to deliver gorgeous color accuracy and an overall brightness that can outcompete OLED TVs.
RGB LED technology uses thousands of tiny white LEDs to illuminate specific sections of the screen from behind, providing a more accurate representation of colors than traditional backlighting methods. This means that viewers will be able to see shades that were previously impossible to see, thanks to the ability to display 100 percent of the BT.2020 color scale.
While RGB LED TVs are still in their early stages and some issues need to be addressed, such as color bleed between the green and blue backlighting and potential blooming around bright elements on screen, they are expected to become a major player in the mid-tier TV market in the coming years.
Several top manufacturers, including Hisense, Sony, Samsung, and LG, have announced plans to release models featuring RGB LED technology this year. With more content being created that takes advantage of the expanded BT.2020 color spectrum, viewers can expect better colors from their TVs long-term. For now, slightly better colors and brighter panels may not be enough to prompt a hasty upgrade for most consumers, but it's definitely worth considering.
Testing time is near, and our team will soon be putting these new displays through their paces in order to see how they hold up in real-world scenarios.
