Samsung will introduce microLED televisions from 50 to 140″ with refresh rates of 240Hz in 2023. The company will announce this during CES in Las Vegas. The company will also show its S95C-QD OLED televisions and new miniLED models in the Neo QLED series for the first time .
Samsung is coming this year with Micro LED CX TVs in 50″, 63″, 76″, 89″, 101″, 114″ and 140″. The Micro LED CX models get according to Digital Trends a refresh rate of 240Hz and an advertised response time of ‘2 nanoseconds’. Samsung doesn’t mention a resolution, but the company’s current microLED generation offers 4k panels.
MicroLED TVs have individual LEDs for each pixel. As a result, no backlight is needed, because each pixel generates its own light, just like with an OLED television, for example. Pixels can also be switched off individually and achieve a high brightness. The company is not yet sharing pricing or availability details for the Micro LED CX series. The company’s previous 89-inch microLED TV cost a minimum of $80,000.
