▋ Hisense: Focused on displaying the new generation RGB-Mini LED TV UX

At CES 2026, Hisense focused on displaying its latest release of the new generation RGB-Mini LED TV UX, which will be launched in China in March.

According to reports, the core upgrades of the new generation of RGB-Mini LED technology focus on key directions such as light source, image quality chip and color management. At the light source level, Hisense innovatively launched the exquisite 4-core true-color backlight architecture, which adds a fourth azure self-luminous chip to the traditional RGB three primary color light-emitting chips. This world-first design directly breaks the color gamut boundaries of traditional display technology.

It is worth noting that Hisense also announced a 163-inch Micro LED TV at the pre-CES press conference. The biggest difference of this Micro LED TV is that Hisense has added yellow sub-pixels in addition to RGB sub-pixels.

Hisense believes that the color performance of Micro LED has reached its limit, and this limit can be exceeded by adding yellow LED to the three primary colors of red, green and blue. Hisense claims that it can now achieve 100% BT.2020 color coverage, but the peak brightness of this TV has not yet been announced; it is expected to sell for more than $100,000.
