Hisense Makes A Number Of Announcements At CES Today

Posted in Commentary with tags on January 5, 2026 by itnerd

Hisense today unveils its visionary 163MX RGBY Micro-LED Display at CES 2026, presenting a glimpse into the future of ultra-large display technology and earning a prestigious CES 2026 Innovation Award for its industry-first four-primary Micro-LED colour architecture. As a new iteration of Micro-LED display, the 163MX demonstrates Hisense’s continued leadership in pushing the boundaries of colour performance and pioneering foundational display innovations.

The 163MX introduces the industry’s first four-primary RGBY (Red, Green, Blue, Yellow) Micro-LED architecture, adding a yellow sub-pixel to the traditional RGB structure to fill the critical spectral gap between 500 – 600nm, a range where conventional Micro-LED displays fall short and often mute a content’s intended look. By restoring this missing range, the 163MX dramatically enhances colour fidelity and delivers a level of colour expression no Micro-LED has achieved before.

To maintain colour fidelity across its massive canvas, the 163MX employs advanced colour management techniques that precisely balance luminance and chromatic uniformity across 33.17 million subpixels. The result is a display capable of achieving up to 100 per cent of the BT.2020 colour space, establishing a new benchmark for spectral range and accuracy in true Micro-LED technology.

A Vision for the Future of Large-Format Displays

Beyond colour performance, the 163MX reflects Hisense’s broader exploration of how ultra-large displays can exist more seamlessly in premium environments. Despite its imposing scale, the display features a refined, minimalist design with an ultra-slim 32mm profile and a precision zero-gap wall mount, allowing it to integrate neatly into architectural spaces while maintaining an immersive, cinematic presence.

The 163MX offers a clear view into the next phase of Micro-LED development, highlighting how the technology can evolve to balance scale, visual impact and refined design.

Leading the Next Era of Color Technology

As a CES 2026 Best of Innovation Award winner, the 163MX represents a defining moment in Hisense’s pursuit of next-generation colour technology. The award recognizes Hisense’s pioneering work in expanding the colour spectrum through RGBY Micro-LED and underscores the company’s broader mission to continuously advance display technology through meaningful, forward-looking innovation.

From pioneering RGB technologies to advancing multi-primary systems and now reshaping the future of Micro-LED, Hisense remains committed to delivering richer, more expressive and more accessible visual experiences. The 163MX is not just an award-winning display, it is a testament to the company’s role as a global leader in the future of colour. 

Hisense also introduces its most sophisticated RGB Mini-LED televisions to date. As the first TV manufacturer to bring true RGB Local Dimming technology to the market in 2025, Hisense returns this year with a rapid evolution of that breakthrough. This evolution is led by the flagship 116UXS and expands RGB into a more accessible RGB Mini-LED lineup for the first time via the new UR9 and UR8 Series, providing unprecedented colour precision across a wide range of screen sizes.

In 2025, Hisense reshaped the colour conversation entirely by introducing the first consumer RGB Mini-LED TV. Now, Hisense advances that work on two fronts. At the flagship level, the company is introducing a new multi-primary colour system, RGB Mini-LED evo in the 116UXS, expanding the colour spectrum and deepening wavelength-level precision beyond what RGB alone can achieve. At the same time, Hisense is evolving and scaling its RGB technology, rolling it out across the new RGB Mini-LED lineup with even more screen sizes, from 55 to 100 inches, bringing high-performance RGB to a wider audience.

“Accelerated innovation is a hallmark of Hisense,” says Puneet Jain, Senior Director of Marketing and E-commerce at Hisense Canada. “We’re bringing advanced technologies to market faster, scaling them sooner and making them accessible to more homes. This year’s expansion of RGB technology is another example of how we continue to lead the industry forward. It’s the kind of progress that reinforces why Hisense is one of the most dynamic pioneers in the TV market today.”

116UXS and the Four-Colour RGB Revolution

The 116UXS represents the fullest expression of Hisense’s colour philosophy. Colour has always been central to the way Hisense approaches display innovation, not just as a specification, but as the foundation of how viewers connect emotionally with what’s on screen. This year, that philosophy comes to life through Hisense’s new RGB Mini-LED evo backlight system, a four-primary architecture that adds cyan to the current RGB structure.

Cyan sits in the part of the spectrum where human vision is most sensitive to subtle changes, and its addition allows the 116UXS to render gradients, tones and transitions with a level of nuance that feels more natural and lifelike. Scenes gain depth without oversaturation, shadows reveal smoother detail and bright content maintains clarity, creating a picture that feels richer and more dimensional in everyday viewing, not just in dramatic HDR moments.

Powered by the Hi-View AI Engine RGB, the 116UXS intelligently manages tens of thousands of colour dimming zones to preserve this tonal accuracy across fast motion, bright highlights and dark scenes and delivers up to 110% of BT.2020 colour coverage. A nearly bezel-free design and slim 1.57-inch profile keep attention on the picture, while a Devialet Opéra de Paris 6.2.2 audio system provides cinematic sound that complements the display’s enhanced colour performance.

The result is a flagship TV that advances Hisense’s colour story in a meaningful way, pairing next-generation RGB Mini-LED evo technology with a design and processing engine built to make every scene feel more expressive, more precise and more immersive.

RGB For Every Home: New RGB Mini-LED Series

The new UR9 and UR8 RGB Mini-LED Series carry forward Hisense’s RGB breakthrough by making the technology available to more homes, more screen sizes and more price points. As the second generation of the RGB architecture first introduced in 2025, this expanded lineup brings the benefits of richer primaries, cleaner tonal separation and more consistent colour accuracy to more consumers, now spanning screens from 55 inches up to 100 inches.

Where last year’s debut RGB model proved what was possible, this new lineup shows what’s scalable. UR9 and UR8 deliver a dramatically expanded colour range with richer saturation and more accurate tonal reproduction than standard premium TVs on the market. They’re engineered for real homes, preserving colour integrity in bright rooms and maintaining stable, natural colour during fast-paced sports, films and gaming.

The refined industrial design of the UR9 and UR8 and Devialet-tuned audio systems complete a viewing experience that feels premium yet approachable, a reflection of Hisense’s belief that advanced display technology should be within reach for more consumers, not locked behind flagship tiers. By expanding RGB across these new models, Hisense is moving faster than the rest of the market, scaling a technology competitors are still working to introduce and reaffirming the brand’s commitment to making high-performance colour widely accessible.

Finally Hisense today hosted its CES 2026 media conference under the theme “Innovating a Brighter Life,” showcasing its latest advances in display technology and smart home products — focused on more natural colour, healthier viewing and human-centric experiences.

Guided by the theme, Hisense highlighted how long-term, human-centric innovation has translated into sustained global growth and market leadership. In just a few years, Hisense has become one of the world’s fastest-growing consumer electronics brands, now operating in more than 160 countries and ranking No.1 globally in the 100-inch-and-above TV segment and in Laser TVs, according to Omdia. In 2025, Hisense ranked among the top 10 brands in the Kantar BrandZTM Top 50 Chinese Global Brand Builders for the ninth consecutive year, and was named No.1 in the smart home appliance category, according to the Ipsos China Brand Global Trust Index.

This innovation-driven momentum was further recognized at CES 2025, where Hisense received more than 50 international awards across its display and home appliance portfolio, underscoring its leadership in large-screen displays and smart home innovation.

Building on this global momentum, brand trust and market leadership, Hisense also introduced the Hisense Elite Collection for FIFA World Cup 2026TM, marking its third consecutive FIFA World CupTM sponsorship. More than a product lineup, the collection reflects Hisense’s growing global presence and its role in bringing fans together through shared moments — on the screen and throughout the home — around the world’s most celebrated sporting event.

Headlining the announcement was the debut of RGB Mini-LED evo, marking a real system-level evolution in RGB Mini-LED development. As the Origin of RGB Mini-LED, Hisense continues to advance this display route through a system-level evolution—redefining how light sources, control systems and algorithms work together. Rather than pursuing parameter-driven performance alone, the RGB Mini-LED evo introduces an industry-first Sky Blue-Cyan fourth LED into the backlight. With colour performance reaching up to 110% of BT.2020, and colour control achieving 134 bits, RGB Mini-LED evo enables more authentic colour expression, enhanced viewing comfort and balanced energy efficiency. This real evolution forms the technological foundation of the 116UXS RGB Mini-LED TV, the first flagship product powered by RGB Mini-LED evo.

Beyond hardware, Hisense also highlighted the evolution of its smart display ecosystem. Beginning January 1, 2026, VIDAA will transition to V, with VIDAA OS becoming HomeOS, reflecting an expanded platform approach that integrates content, AI-driven services and connected devices across the home.

Through “Innovating a Brighter Life,” Hisense continues to showcase how technology can be applied in practical, human-centric ways — enhancing visual experiences, improving daily comfort and supporting more connected home lifestyles.

Enhance the gaming experience with specialized TV features designed for video games

Posted in Commentary with tags on October 9, 2025 by itnerd

As graphics and gameplay continue to become more true-to-life, having a television that can keep pace with what today’s video games offer is imperative.

With the growing popularity of gaming — according to a report by the Entertainment Software Association of Canada, more than half of Canadians play video games regularly — and rapid innovations in technology and design, it is no longer enough to simply plug a console into the TV and start playing.

Puneet Jain, Senior Director of Marketing and Ecommerce with Hisense Canada offers the following advice on the features to look for when shopping for the ultimate video game TV:

  • Refresh Rate — The faster the rate, the better the image will look on the screen. A variable refresh rate between 48Hz and 144Hz is ideal, reducing screen lag and supporting smooth visuals in motion. The higher the refresh rate, the better.
  • Low Latency MEMC — Motion Estimation, Motion Compensation (MEMC) technology seamlessly inserts frames for smoother motion and heightened visual clarity. This reduces input lag and motion blur, immersing the gamer in the gaming world.
  • AI Upscaling — Unlike traditional upscaling, AI upscaling computes neighbouring pixel colours to restore lost details and reduce image noise.
  • Synchronization — A feature like AMD FreeSync eliminates screen tearing and stuttering by aligning the TV’s refresh rate to match the frame rate of the gaming console. The result is a smoother, more fluid gaming experience with virtually no controller input lag.
  • Gaming Enhancements — Among the latest gaming innovations for TVs is the intuitive Game bar, which provides real-time information on the TV’s optimal settings for gaming, including a frame rate counter, Variable Refresh Rate status and input lag meter.
  • Big Screen — The Hisense PX3-PRO Trichroma laser cinema projector is designed specifically for Xbox, with a sharp 4K image on screen up to a massive 150 inches. It also boasts a refresh rate up to HSR 240, and a feature that automatically detects when your console is on and adjusts the projector settings to create seamless, lag-free gameplay.
  • Big Sound — Just like watching your favourite movie, the soundtrack and audio elements of a game complement the visuals. Look for multi-channel surround sound systems, combined with Dolby Atmos and AI Sound to deliver an immersive audio experience capturing everything from the quietest whispers to the most explosive scenes.

Hisense offers several televisions that package these technologies into its Game Mode feature, creating a dynamic gaming experience. Additional gaming features include “Gaming in Dolby” to provide deeper details and ultra-vivid colours with Dolby Vision, supported by Dolby Atmos enhancing dialogues, background noise and soundtracks.

The all-new QD5N, now available in Canada, is the latest addition to Hisense’s ultra-big screen family, featuring vivid colours and immersive audio for the ultimate gamer-ready performance. Equipped with Game Mode PRO, it offers a 144Hz refresh rate, Low Latency MEMC, VRR (48-44Hz), AMD FreeSync™ Premium, Auto Low Latency Mode and Hisense’s proprietary Game Bar for an ultra-responsive, super smooth and crystal clear gaming performance — there is virtually no screen tearing or output lag.

Hisense continues to strengthen its leadership in premium display technology. According to the latest data from international market research firm Omdia, Hisense ranked No. 1 worldwide in shipments of 100-inch and above TVs in the first half of 2025, capturing 58% global volume share.

This milestone underlines Hisense’s long-term investment in large-screen innovations and its pivotal role in shaping the future of home entertainment.

To demonstrate its position at the forefront of display technology, Hisense will showcase its newest RGB Mini-LED technology at IFA 2025 in Berlin starting this week. The centrepiece of Hisense’s exhibit will be the company’s latest version of the world’s largest RGB Mini-LED TV, a striking 116-inch display that brings images to life with purer colours, exceptional brightness and precise contrast, achieving 100 per cent BT.2020 colour gamut coverage for a truly lifelike viewing experience. Beyond the technical performance, Hisense’s RGB Mini-LED is designed to bring users closer to reality, transforming every viewing moment into an emotionally compelling experience.

RGB Mini-LED, along with other display technologies and AI-powered home appliances, will be the focus of Hisense’s media event at IFA 2025. The event will take place on September 5, 2025, from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the City Cube Berlin (Lower Level) under the theme Own the Moment.
