Is Micro RGB better than OLED?

Not for contrast. OLED gives true blacks and no blooming. Micro RGB wins on brightness and color volume, especially in a bright room.

Does it support 4K at 120 Hz for consoles?

The panel runs at 100 Hz, so it handles high frame rates well, but check the HDMI inputs for 4K 120 Hz support on the exact model you buy.

Which sizes are available?

It comes in 55, 75 and 85 inches. The 55-inch is the smallest and lightest at about 32 lb.

Does it have Dolby Vision?

No. It supports HDR10 and HDR10+, so Dolby Vision content plays in a standard HDR format.

The TV, a stand, a remote and a power cable. A wall mount and HDMI cables are not included.

Is it good for gaming?

Yes for most players: the 100 Hz panel and low input lag suit consoles. Serious gamers should confirm VRR and 120 Hz support on the specific size.

Our take on the Samsung Micro RGB HDR 4K Ultra HD Smart AI TV 55-inch

The Samsung Micro RGB is a 4K LED TV that uses very small red, green and blue LEDs behind the panel instead of a single white backlight, which gives it finer local dimming and wider color than Samsung's regular LED sets. It runs Samsung's Tizen smart system with Netflix, YouTube and Disney+, and has a 100 Hz panel for smoother sport and games. It sits below Samsung's OLED and Neo QLED flagships on contrast but above its entry-level LEDs. Owners like the brightness and color punch; reviewers note that dark-scene blooming and black levels still trail OLED.
