LG and Samsung announce new television technologies and lineup shifts

LG Electronics has unveiled its 2026 Smart TV lineup, highlighting QNED and Mini RGB evo models. These displays utilize new technologies such as QNED Pro Dynamic Colors and Tandem LED to achieve 100% color volume and improved contrast through precise brightness control and reduced halo effects.

In a separate strategic shift, Samsung is reportedly preparing a major overhaul of its television catalog for 2027. Reports suggest the company may phase out traditional QLED panels in favor of a simplified hierarchy consisting of Ultra, Plus, and Basic tiers. This move, which includes a potential reduction in Neo QLED production, is intended to address competition from Chinese manufacturers like TCL and Hisense by focusing on high-end Micro RGB and OLED technologies.
