Samsung now has TVs with Micro RGB, QLED, and OLED displays. Here are the pros and cons of each, informed by our lab testing.

Samsung just released its new Micro RGB TV R95H, featuring breakthrough technology that introduces individually-lit LEDs capable of producing blue light to the panel. Samsung has long used a clever workaround to produce blue hues with a blue LED backlight behind panels made of red, green, and yellow LEDs, and it works, but it isn't very accurate.
By integrating blue LEDs directly into the same unit as red and green, the R95H is capable of producing a wider range of colors with stunning accuracy. While it shares the same DNA as its QLED cousin, the QN90F, the Micro RGB panel offers contrast and detailing more akin to the S95H OLED. With blue, red, and green LEDs integrated into millions of specially-designed micro lenses, you get color accuracy that sets out to outstrip the king of color: the OLED.
The scientists who developed the blue LED won a Nobel Prize. Seriously. For decades, the blue LED was by far the most difficult (and expensive) to try and develop, and was critical in the development of white LED light. A white LED is actually a blue one with the addition of a special chemical that flouresces when electricity is applied.
