A bunch of little issues add up to make the MRGB95B not worth the price when competitors do it better.

When it comes to TVs, the LG name has long been synonymous with OLEDs, continually leading Samsung and Sony as the top OLED manufacturer. But 2026 is all about RGB LED TVs. Almost every major company has released models with the new technology — including LG and its $3,600 75-inch Micro RGB evo MRGB95B that I’ve been testing. And while LG’s RGB LED TV benefits from the brightness and color capability the technology provides, it has issues I couldn’t overlook that its less expensive competitors don’t.

The MRGB95B comes in three sizes, with the 75-inch being the smallest. It has four HDMI 2.1 ports, supports Dolby Vision — although not Dolby Vision 2 or HDR10+ — and comes with the Magic Remote design LG unveiled last year. It has a more traditional remote shape instead of the curved wand of previous versions. As with all LG TVs, the MRGB95B runs on webOS. It runs quickly, but I find it less intuitive to navigate than Google TV, Apple TV, or Roku. It supports all of the major streaming apps.

Speaking of software, a quick note: LG has recently come under increased scrutiny after a video from Gamers Nexus showed security vulnerabilities and continuous audio recording on its TVs, which LG has denied. When setting up the MRGB95B, it’s only necessary to accept the terms of use and privacy policy if you want to use webOS. Otherwise, as with any TV, it can be disconnected from the internet, although an external streaming device would be needed for any streaming services (I use an Apple TV 4K, myself).
