The LG MRGB95B is a new TV in LG's 2026 TV lineup, sitting above the LG MRGB85B. It features a new RGB Mini LED backlight that's designed to improve color volume by replacing color converters and color filters with separate red, green, and blue LEDs in the backlight. It's powered by the Alpha 11 Gen 3 AI Processor and comes equipped with webOS 26, with guaranteed OS updates for five years through LG's Re:New Program. It supports Dolby Vision but not HDR10+ or the newer Dolby Vision 2. Like LG's 2025 models, it only passes through Dolby audio formats and doesn't support DTS, which may disappoint physical media collectors. The TV has a ton of modern gaming features, such as HDMI 2.1 bandwidth on all four ports, up to 4k @ 165Hz or 1080p @ 330Hz for PC gamers, and support for all major VRR formats. We bought and tested the 75-inch model, but it's also available in an 86- and 100-inch size.
Our Verdict
The LG MRGB95B is a very good TV overall. It looks great in either a bright or dark room thanks to its high peak brightness and excellent black levels. Reflections can still be a bit distracting during the day, but it's not too bad. It has good image processing and cleans up streaming content well. It doesn't track the creator's intent very well and has sub-par accuracy, though, so it's not a good choice for people who care mainly about accuracy. It also has a very slow response time and high CAD, so motion is extremely blurry when gaming or watching fast action like sports.
Bright enough to overcome glare.
Excellent upscaling.
Effective local dimming for deep blacks in simple scenes.
Distracting direct reflections.
Image degrades rapidly when viewed at an angle.
Sub-par accuracy out of the box.
Fast action is very blurry.
The LG MRGB95B is great for home theater use in a dark room. It looks great in the dark thanks to its high contrast, effective local dimming, and great black uniformity. Movies look good for the most part thanks to its decent colors and high peak brightness, and HDR content stands out incredibly well. It struggles more in SDR, though, and it has sub-par accuracy out of the box. It also doesn't track the creator's intent in HDR very well, so it's best to get it calibrated if you care about that. It supports Dolby Vision and passes through all Dolby audio formats, but it doesn't support HDR10+ or DTS audio.
Barely any banding in color gradients.
Effective local dimming for deep blacks in simple scenes.
Specular highlights are bright and stand out well in most content.
Removes judder from most sources.
Doesn't support DTS audio formats commonly used on physical media.
Sub-par accuracy out of the box.
Fast action is very blurry.
The LG MRGB95B is an excellent TV for use in a bright room. It gets extremely bright, so bright content like sports is very easy to see even during the day. It has just decent reflection handling, though, so darker scenes are a bit harder to make out, and bright mirror-like reflections from windows or lamps facing the screen are very clear and easy to see.
Bright enough to overcome glare.
Ambient light has no impact on black levels or color saturation.
Distracting direct reflections.
The LG MRGB95B is very good for watching sports. It's very bright, so visibility of the screen isn't an issue during the day. It also has great processing, and it cleans up low-quality streaming channels well. There's relatively little dirty screen effect in the center of the screen, so uniform colors like the playing field look good. Unlike most other RGB Mini LED models, there's also fairly little color crosstalk, so the white lines on the field don't look green. On the other hand, it has a very slow response time, so fast action is blurry and hard to see. It also has a narrow viewing angle, so it's not well-suited for a wide seating arrangement, as the image degrades quickly as you move to the sides.
Bright enough to overcome glare.
Excellent upscaling.
Few transition artifacts.
Smooths out low-quality content well but removes some fine details in the process.

The LG MRGB95B is just decent for gaming. It has a wide selection of gaming features, like VRR support and HDMI 2.1 bandwidth on all four inputs. It also has a high refresh rate, including a boosted 330Hz mode with a 1080p resolution, great for PC esports players. On the other hand, it has very high CAD at all refresh rates, resulting in very blurry motion that doesn't feel snappy.

The LG MRGB95B has fantastic peak brightness. Small highlight details stand out incredibly well, but it can't maintain them for very long. This isn't an issue with most real content, though. Very bright scenes, like outdoor shots and sports, get extremely bright and stand out well.
Bright enough to overcome glare.
Specular highlights are bright and stand out well in most content.
The LG MRGB95B delivers excellent black levels. Its local dimming feature delivers deep, uniform blacks with fairly smooth zone control. There's a bit of haloing around bright details on a dark background, but it's minor. The native contrast of the panel is high, which helps maintain deep blacks in more complicated scenes.
Effective local dimming for deep blacks in simple scenes.
The LG MRGB95B delivers just decent colors. Colors are bright and vibrant in HDR, with excellent color volume and no color washout in bright scenes. It struggles with colors in SDR, though, and it has sub-par accuracy out of the box. Its color volume also varies depending on the local dimming setting used, and there are distracting color temperature fluctuations when the average brightness of a scene changes.

Note: We're in the process of improving our tests related to image processing, but this score should give you a general idea of how a TV performs overall with its image processing capabilities.
The LG MRGB95B has very good processing. It does a good job cleaning up low-quality content like streaming service, but there's some loss of fine details. On the other hand, it does an excellent job upscaling older content on DVDs or cable TV channels. It has great gradient handling, with just a bit of banding in darker shades. Unfortunately, its PQ EOTF tracking is patchy, and most scenes aren't displayed at the correct brightness level.

Popular TV Comparisons
The LG MRGB95B is a very good TV on paper, but it's held back by its lackluster image accuracy out of the box and noticeable color issues. It faces steep competition from the other 2026 flagship RGB Mini LED models, like the Hisense UR9SG, the Samsung R95H, and the Sony BRAVIA 9 II, and unfortunately, it's by far the worst of the pack. While it's extremely bright, the RGB backlight is poorly tuned, causing noticeable color temperature issues in some scenes. The RGB backlight doesn't even seem to be working properly, as disabling it entirely and forcing the backlight to be always white actually results in better color saturation. Overall, while the hardware shows promise, it's a disappointing first entry for LG into the RGB Mini LED market.
For other options, check out our recommendations for the best TVs, the best gaming TVs, and the best RGB Mini LED TVs.
The Samsung R95H is much better than the LG MRGB95B. The Samsung has a much better anti-reflective coating, so it looks a lot better during the day, and dim scenes are easier to see. The Samsung also has much better color volume, and no distracting changes in color temperature between scenes. Finally, the Samsung has a better local dimming feature, with significantly less haloing around bright details or subtitles on a dark background.
The Sony BRAVIA 9 II is a much better TV than the LG MRGB95B. The Sony delivers a far more accurate image, with significantly better accuracy out of the box, and it displays an image that's much closer to the creator's intent. The Sony has much better reflection handling, so glare from windows and lights facing the TV is far less noticeable, and dark scenes are easier to see during the day. The Sony also has much better color volume, and bright scenes look a lot more vibrant.
The Sony BRAVIA 7 II is better than the LG MRGB95B. The Sony has much better color volume, so bright scenes are more vibrant and lifelike. The Sony also has much better accuracy out of the box, and unlike the LG, there's no change in color temperature between scenes. The LG is a bit brighter and has slightly better contrast, but it's not a significant difference.
The Hisense UR9SG and the LG MRGB95B trade blows in a few different ways, but the Hisense is slightly better overall. The Hisense has much better colors, with brighter, more vibrant colors in most scenes. Motion is also smoother on the Hisense, especially when gaming at high refresh rates. The LG on the other hand, has slightly better native contrast and better black uniformity.
We buy and test dozens of TVs yearly, taking an objective, data-driven approach to deliver results you can trust. Our testing process is complex, with hundreds of individual tests that take over a week to complete. Most of our tests use specially designed test patterns that mimic real content, but we also use the same sources you have at home to ensure our results match the real-world experience. We use two main tools for our testing: a Colorimetry Research CR-100 colorimeter and a CR-250 spectroradiometer.

The LG MRGB95B has fantastic peak brightness in HDR. It's bright enough to easily bring out small specular highlight details, like the sun glinting off a car or the bright peaks of a flame. Very bright outdoor scenes or sports are also incredibly bright. Unfortunately, it can't maintain that brightness for very long, though, and after about a minute of sustained brightness, the TV dims considerably. This isn't noticeable with the vast majority of real content, though.
The posted results are with the TV in its most accurate picture mode with 'Dynamic Tone Mapping' disabled. Below are the results with DTM turned on, which significantly increases brightness in some real scenes but isn't as accurate.
- Hallway Lights: 1,222 cd/m²
- Yellow Skyscraper: 1,359 cd/m²
- Landscape Pool: 508 cd/m²

The TV is slightly dimmer when you switch to Game mode, but it's not really a noticeable difference. It's still bright enough to deliver excellent HDR peak brightness when gaming. Bright details in games stand out well, and very bright scenes look impressive.
The posted results are with the TV in its most accurate picture mode with 'Dynamic Tone Mapping' set to 'HGIG.' Below are the results with DTM turned on, which significantly increases brightness in some real scenes but isn't as accurate.
- Hallway Lights: 1,319 cd/m²
- Yellow Skyscraper: 1,260 cd/m²
- Landscape Pool: 537 cd/m²
The TV has fantastic peak brightness in SDR. It's bright enough to easily overcome glare during the day, even when most of the screen is bright at once, like when watching sports. Like with HDR, it can't sustain very bright details for long, and there's a very noticeable drop in brightness after about a minute. It's rarely noticeable when watching real content, though.

The LG MRGB95B has excellent contrast. The local dimming feature does a great job of reducing black levels in dark parts of the scene while maintaining high brightness in bright areas. The panel's native contrast is also high enough that black levels aren't noticeably raised in more difficult parts of the scene.
for pictures & test results
The local dimming feature has great zone precision. It can dim the backlight tightly around bright details or subtitles, so you'll just see a bit of haloing around them.
for videos & test results
Zone transitions on this TV look good. The leading edge of very bright details moving across a black background is slightly darker than it should be, as the TV can't quite keep up with them. There's very little halo trailing them, though.

Unfortunately, the TV has poor accuracy out of the box in SDR. Its gamma tracking is very off, and it crushes mid-tones drastically, impacting the overall RGB balance and gray tones noticeably. The average color temperature is fine. Color mapping is also slightly off in all shades. It's not too bad, but you'll notice it if you're sensitive to color accuracy.
The color balance also shifts noticeably as the screen's APL changes. You can see this even with a uniform low-luminance slide while moving the mouse across the screen. The issue is far more noticeable with lower Local Dimming settings.

The TV has great gradient handling. There's some minor banding in dark shades of blue and green, but it's not too bad.
The LG MRGB95B has great input lag in the low latency Game mode. There's very little added delay, which helps deliver a responsive feel when gaming.
The TV supports all common formats up to a maximum refresh rate of 165Hz with 4k signals or 330Hz at 1080p. It also displays chroma 4:4:4 properly, which is important for clear text from a PC.
This TV supports VRR across a wide refresh rate range, which helps reduce tearing when the frame rate fluctuates.
