Samsung has launched its first Micro RGB TV with improved color accuracy
Samsung's Micro RGB technology is being positioned as an upgrade to Mini LED backlights that employ an array of tiny white or blue LEDs behind a TV's LCD panel. Micro RGB backlights instead use an ultra-fine pattern of individually controlled red, green and blue LEDs that are each less than than 100µm in size.
The new backlight is powered by Samsung's Micro RGB AI engine, which the company says 'analyzes each frame in real time and automatically optimizes color output for a more lifelike and immersive picture.' The technology allows for improved color accuracy and better contrast by precisely controlling the intensity of the individual LEDs, and Samsung says it can even boost the color in dull scenes, making them appear more vivid and immersive.
The other big advantage of Micro RGB is that the technology is cheaper to produce than MicroLED TVs. While Samsung's first 115-inch model is launching at KRW 44.9 million – or around $32,362 – the company also currently sells a smaller 110-inch MicroLED TV in the US for $150,000.
Other features of the new 4K TV include a 144Hz variable refresh rate for gaming, AI upscaling, HDR10+ support, a 70-watt 4.2.2 speaker setup that supports Dolby Atmos, four HDMI 2.0 ports, a pair of USB-A ports, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. It can also function as a Matter controller, and if you use Philips Hue lights, the TV can sync their color to what's on screen.
Samsung isn't the only company pursuing this upgraded approach to Mini LED TVs. Earlier this year, The Verge got a demo of Sony's awkwardly-named General RGB LED Backlight Technology, featuring backlight zones made up of red, green, and blue LEDs. And at CES 2025, Hisense announced its 116-inch TriChroma LED TV, which also features a backlight made up of individual RGB LEDs controlled by a new system the company calls RGB Local Dimming Technology. But while Hisense claims its TV can reproduce 97 percent of the BT.2020 color space, Samsung says its Micro RGB technology is even better, reproducing 100 percent and potentially making it one of the most color accurate TVs available to consumers.

Trump Floats Deal to Let Nvidia's Blackwell Chips Into China -- With a 50% Power Cut
President Donald Trump has signaled he may be open to letting Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) ship a toned-down version of its most advanced Blackwell AI chip to China if the company trims its capabilities by 30% to 50%. The comment comes shortly after Trump confirmed an unusual arrangement already in place for Nvidia's less-powerful H20 chip, which allows exports to China in exchange for a 15% revenue share paid directly to the US government. Advanced Micro Devices will follow the same formula for its MI308 chip, according to a person familiar with the matter. Nvidia has not commented on the president's remarks. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 5 Warning Signs with NVDA. The potential deal for Blackwell would mirror Trump's broader push to secure financial returns for the US in exchange for loosening certain export restrictions a strategy that could influence how American companies negotiate market access in China. While Trump didn't outline a specific timeline, he suggested Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang could soon meet with him to discuss a negatively enhanced Blackwell variant. If approved, the move could mark a shift in how high-end US chip technology is selectively offered abroad. Nvidia's Blackwell chips are the backbone of today's most powerful AI systems but remain off-limits to China under current US rules. Both Nvidia and AMD (NASDAQ:AMD) have taken revenue hits as tighter controls limited exports to older models on par with domestic Chinese alternatives products that have struggled to gain traction. Nvidia has already said it is developing another China-specific chip and will seek approval to sell it. The company noted that further cutting back its Hopper-based H20 chip is no longer viable, suggesting a modified Blackwell could be the clearest path to regaining momentum in one of the world's largest AI markets.

Micron Rides AI Wave With Upgraded Outlook, Analysts See More Gains Ahead
Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU) extended gains Tuesday after boosting its August-quarter outlook, fueled by surging demand and pricing for AI-focused memory chips, signaling continued momentum in the DRAM market through 2026. JP Morgan analyst Harlan Sur maintained Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU) with an Overweight rating and raised the price forecast from $165 to $185 on Monday. Sur said Micron delivered a positive pre-announcement for its August quarter, raising revenue, gross margin, and EPS guidance on stronger-than-expected DRAM (or dynamic random access memory) pricing across AI/datacenter, smartphone, and PC now expects revenue of $11.2 billion versus its prior $10.70 billion midpoint, adjusted gross margin of 44.5% versus 42%, and adjusted EPS of $2.85 versus $2.50. Sur attributed the upside to sustained DRAM strength, improved DDR5 and LPDDR5 contract pricing, and robust HBM (or high-bandwidth memory) demand, with HBM revenue nearing an $8 billion annualized run rate. He highlighted that the HBM3e 12-Hi yield ramp exceeded the 8-Hi ramp and already reached crossover in volume, with visibility to sell out 2026 HBM supply, including HBM3e and HBM4. Tight supply in non-AI DRAM, partially driven by the HBM trade ratio, adds upward pricing pressure, while DDR4 end-of-life shortages contribute marginally. Sur expects DRAM pricing strength to continue through 2025 and into 2026, supported by substantial AI capex and constrained leading-edge supply from the HBM4 ramp. Citing solid execution, improving supply/demand fundamentals, and margin expansion potential, Sur raised his estimates and increased his price forecast from $165 to $185. His new forecast is based on $17 in annualized earnings power in second-half of 2026, applying a 10–12x P/E multiple consistent with mid-to-late cycle valuations for memory stocks. He maintained an Overweight rating, seeing Micron well-positioned for fiscal 2026 and calendar 2026, with strong momentum in high-margin businesses and market share gains. Price Action: MU stock is trading higher by 2.75% to $127.12 at last check on Tuesday.
