New RGB Mini LED technology guide

While traditional Mini LED TVs use white backlighting, RGB Mini LED technology relies on LEDs capable of directly emitting the three primary colours: red, green, and blue. This approach reduces light loss and significantly improves richness, particularly for 4K HDR content, with colour coverage that can approach the BT.2020 colour space. But is this innovation enough to dethrone OLED? In this new guide, we take an in-depth look at how RGB Mini LED, also known as True RGB at Sony or Micro RGB at Samsung and LG, works, as well as its practical benefits for movies, TV shows, sports, and video games. We also address its limitations, including blooming, viewing angles, and contrast, which remains lower than that of the best OLED panels. Finally, there’s a comparison of the different technologies and practical advice to help you identify the essential criteria for choosing your next TV. An essential guide to understanding one of the major advances in TV display technology and determining whether RGB Mini LED meets your expectations.

The world of hi-fi and home theatre still has many surprises in store, with new technologies, enhanced performance, and improved ease of use. While waiting to discover them, feel free to take a look at previous hi-fi, home theater, and gaming releases on the blog!
