Micro RGB vs OLED TVs: What’s the difference?

A side-by-side composite of two images: On the left is the LG C2 OLED, wall-mounted and displaying a mountain in front of a galaxy-rich night sky. On the right is Samsung's Micro RGB TV, also wall-mounted, displaying a colorful, abstract image.

For years, OLED technology has dominated the premium display market, offering a great picture quality with deep, perfect black levels. OLED has become the gold standard for high-end TVs, to the point where most of the best TVs available right now are OLEDs. But there's a new challenger on the horizon: Samsung Micro RGB.

Micro RGB has been making headlines for the past year or so, thanks in part to Samsung's marketing. The TV-maker is one of many developing their own version of Micro RGB. The promise of the tech is that it could address some of OLED's limitations while delivering its own advantages. But will Micro RGB actually prove to be better than the current reigning champ?
