Outstanding high-end TVs sold in Vietnam in the first half of 2026

The TV market in the first half of 2026 welcomes a new wave of RGB technology when companies introduce a specific product line. This is a screen technology that replaces the traditional white backlight with tiny LED light clusters with three colors red, green, and blue. The advantage of this technology is richer colors, superior color accuracy and brightness compared to before.

However, firms pursue different strategies in product positioning. Samsung puts Micro RGB on the highest-end TV line, while LG sees OLED as the key technology in the top segment. Meanwhile, TCL continues to strengthen its leading position in Mini LED TVs with SQD-Mini LED technology. Although LG and TCL have introduced RGB TVs, the products are positioned in a lower price segment than Samsung's Micro RGB models.

The ability to express rich colors is the reason TCL is still confident with Mini LED before the wave of RGB TVs. C8L is the only model using this panel that can display 100% of the BT.2020 color range, something only high-end Micro RGB TVs can achieve (Samsung and LG models are 98-100%). This result is thanks to TCL adding new quantum dot technology Super QLED and Ultra Color Filter panels.

SQD-Mini LED is also TCL's big step forward in improving Mini LED's ability to control local dimming zones with Precise Dimming Zones to help increase contrast and display deep blacks. The maximum number of local dimming zones is more than 4,000, four times more than current high-end Mini LED models of the same size.

C8L is also equipped with many other advanced parameters such as maximum brightness of 6,000 nits and 144 Hz scan frequency. As the largest panel manufacturer, TCL is still keeping the 11th generation CSOT line to produce C8L and other high-end models while OEMs let partners use the 10th generation line.

In addition to panel technology, the C8L has an ultra-thin alloy bezel design and a Bang & Olufsen branded speaker system. However, this is also a TV line that shows TCL's ambition to elevate its brand in Vietnam, so the price is quite high compared to the company's previous high-end products, up to 150 million VND for the 98-inch version. Other size options include 55, 65, 75 and 85 inches with prices from 38 million VND.

After many years of putting effort into Neo QLED, Samsung switched to using Micro RGB technology for its highest-end consumer TVs from 2026. This is considered a breakthrough technology for TVs that use backlighting, replacing the basic white LED bulbs with lights that can display three colors red, green and blue. Upgrading helps RGB TVs have higher color accuracy and a significantly wider supported color range.

R95H is the first TV to achieve 100% color range according to BT.2020 standards. It's the same RGB technology, but the word Micro in the name emphasizes the number of thousands of LED bulbs in Samsung TVs, allowing much better control of the local dimming area than regular Mini RGB.

In addition to panel technology, Samsung 2026 TVs also have major changes in software as this is the company that integrates the most AI platforms. In addition to Bixby AI, the company's products also include Gemini used in combination with Google applications and the Copilot chatbot application. The One UI Tizen operating system is also more personalized, with Samsung Knox Security hardware-level security.

R95H has four sizes 65, 75, 85 and 130 inches, priced from 54 million to 1.5 billion VND.

LG added two completely new TV lines this year, Micro RGB and Mini RGB, but still positioned OLED as the most advanced technology. In addition to the main G series as before, the Korean company added a model using Tandem OLED light-emitting layer stacking technology and an ultra-thin design, W6.

LG's highest-end TV has a thickness of 9.9 mm for the entire screen, instead of thin on top and thick on the bottom like conventional OLED models, helping to mount close to the wall without gaps. To achieve this thinness, LG has rearranged the TV's components and speaker system.

In addition, the product uses Zero Connect technology, allowing the transmission of 4K 165 Hz quality images and sound from the signal transceiver box to the screen without the need for cables. This is the first TV to receive True Wireless Lossless Vision certification from TÜV Rheinland, ensuring wireless picture quality equivalent to a wired connection in terms of latency and color accuracy.

W6 and high-end models like G6 continue to improve brightness - a major weakness of OLED TVs compared to high-end LED TVs. The new model has a brightness increased 3.9 times compared to the previous generation with a peak brightness of 4,500 nits, and is certified with Advanced Anti-reflection (reflection level is only 0.3%) to help minimize shadows but still maintain light penetration compared to matte screen technology.

OLED is still the technology considered the standard in imaging with the ability to control absolute deep blacks and almost infinite contrast. This is thanks to the special panel structure with self-luminous pixels, up to 8.3 million pixels on the new G6 line. The model also has the current top maximum refresh rate of 165 Hz, supporting G-Sync Compatible and AMD FreeSync Premium for gaming.

LG OLED evo W6 only has one size of 83 inches in Vietnam, with a announced price of 220 million VND.
