Samsung is getting slightly closer to its goal of bringing MicroLED to the wider consumer market, according to a new press release from the company that can confirm the development of a new 76-inch MicroLED TV, one of its smallest MicroLED TVs yet, featuring exciting specifications that include a 240 Hz refresh rate and 2-nanosecond response time, making it millions of times faster than many of the gaming monitors on today’s market.
“While many TV innovations involve making displays larger or faster, the 76-inch Micro LED CX (joining our 110-inch Micro LED) redefines ‘state-of-the-art’ for TVs,” reads a statement from Samsung. “Samsung has miniaturized technologies introduced in the breakthrough and award-winning display, The Wall, to create the world’s smallest and most affordable Micro LED screen.”
“Between its unmatched screen performance and advanced technologies, Micro LED CX heralds a brighter, more luxurious future for consumer televisions. Additionally, its 20-bit black detail, 240Hz variable refresh rates, and 2-nanosecond response time solidify the 76-inch Micro LED CX’s display as the gold standard of picture quality, no matter what you’re watching or playing. It’s also Samsung’s first Micro LED TV without the need for professional installation, stunning viewers with a 99.9% screen-to-body ratio.”
Samsung didn’t share a price for the MicroLED CX, but it’s sure to be expensive, being that the company priced its 110-inch model at $156,000.
This is more expensive than even LG’s most extravagant OLED TV, the LG SIGNATURE OLED R, a 65-inch rolalble 4K Smart TV that is listed for $99,999.99 on its official website.
“Using tiny LEDs that are substantially smaller than conventional LEDs, the display is powered without backlighting or color filters – just purely sophisticated design, ” reads a blurb for Samsung’s MicroLED technology.
MicroLED is regarded as one of the holy grails of display technology, being that it’s immune to burn-in, one of OLED’s biggest problems.

I had to Google it. It is literally a million times faster... wow.
Cool so if I can afford this and a 4090 I can play 1080p games at 240hz? Because that sounds like a great use of tons of $$$$$
or I could go buy a new car.
MicroLED is the future. OLED is a stop gap, always has been, always will be.
Once this tech matures and becomes maintstream we'll see panels with incredible specs at affordable prices.
Remember, the first plasma back in 2002'ish was like $50,000.
It's all good. Our C9 has been with us since 2018 and still going strong and I'm plenty happy to use the C2 for as many years as it takes for this tech to come down in price.
Same, I still love my C6 and it's a dinosaur comparatively speaking. I admit it could be a bit brighter, and it's starting to show some burn-in after all these years, but still not really thinking of getting rid of it. HDR content on it still looks amazing.
That said, yeah, microLED will be very nice once it finally hits main stream. I figure I'll probably have one more OLED in the Home Theater, whenever I finally either hit the lottery or get fed up with the C6... and by the time that TV gets old will we will see microLED go affordable -- and whatever the next thing everyone wants to wait for will be "just around the corner".
