LAS VEGAS, 2026-01-07 — Hisense is doubling down on color accuracy, and the 2026 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas is where they’re showing their hand. The company’s latest televisions aren’t just bigger; they’re engineered to deliver a more nuanced and lifelike picture, a subtle but significant shift in how we experience visual media.
A New Shade of Brilliant: Hisense’s RGB MiniLED Evo
Hisense is introducing RGB MiniLED evo technology with a unique “sky blue” sub-pixel, aiming for a 110% coverage of the BT.2020 color standard.
The core of this push is RGB MiniLED evo technology, debuting in the flagship 116UXS model. Unlike conventional displays, this system adds a fourth cyan sub-pixel—branded “sky blue”—to more accurately reproduce shades where the human eye is most sensitive. The goal? A more natural look, with improved detail in both bright and dark scenes, and a color gamut reaching 110% of the BT.2020 standard.
Beyond the Flagship: Innovation Trickles Down
While the 116UXS is positioned as a premium offering—precedents suggest a price tag around $30,000, similar to the previous generation 116UX—Hisense is also extending these advancements to more accessible price points. The new UR9 and UR8 series, ranging from 55 to 100 inches, are designed for everyday living rooms, maintaining color stability even in brightly lit spaces and during fast-action content like sports and gaming.
What makes MiniLED different? MiniLED backlights use thousands of tiny LEDs to control brightness and contrast with far greater precision than traditional LCD TVs, resulting in deeper blacks and brighter highlights.
MicroLED Takes a Leap Forward with RGBY
At the very top of Hisense’s lineup sits the 163MX, a massive 163-inch MicroLED television. This model introduces a first: the integration of a yellow sub-pixel into an RGBY configuration. This engineering choice is intended to improve color reproduction between 500 and 600 nanometers, an area where MicroLED technology has historically faced challenges. By precisely managing luminance and color uniformity, the 163MX achieves full coverage of the BT.2020 color space, solidifying Hisense’s position in the high-end large-screen market.
