The new Hisense RGB mini-LED TVs promise dramatically expanded color range with richer saturation and more accurate tonal reproduction. RGB backlights use clusters of red, green, and blue LEDs to produce color without needing traditional color filters.
Enhanced Viewing Experience
The company emphasizes that these TVs preserve color integrity even in bright rooms, whether you’re watching movies or playing games. This addresses a common issue where colors can appear washed out in well-lit environments.
Audio on the new models was tuned by Devialet, the French brand known for its distinctive Phantom speakers. This partnership aims to deliver premium sound quality to match the advanced display technology.
Broader Market Push
Hisense’s first RGB mini-LED, the 116-inch 116UX, launched last year at $30,000. The new UR9 and UR8 Series are designed to bring this technology to a wider audience with more accessible sizing and pricing.
In 2026, other major manufacturers like Samsung and LG are expected to release RGB backlit TVs. Hisense also plans to release high-end RGB variations featuring cyan or yellow pixels, potentially adding complexity to consumer choices.
Key Takeaways
- Hisense expands RGB mini-LED lineup with UR9 and UR8 Series in sizes from 55″ to 100″
- RGB backlight technology eliminates need for color filters and improves color accuracy
- Devialet audio tuning brings premium sound to the new models
- Pricing and availability still to be announced
As RGB mini-LED competition intensifies in 2026, Hisense is positioning itself as an early mover in making the technology more mainstream.
