Hisense has unveiled a new RGB MiniLED TV at CES 2026, the 116-inch 116UXS, which promises to expand color palettes by adding a fourth cyan pixel.
The company calls the four-color MiniLED backlight “RGB evo,” and the TV’s release follows Hisense’s other three-color MiniLEDs such as last year’s 116UX and the new UR8 and UR9 TVs.
The 116UXS features “tens of thousands of color dimming zones” and promises to reproduce up to 110% of the BT.2020 color spectrum — a feat which which most TVs are unable to achieve. A company representative told that the addition of the cyan pixel also reduces blue light emissions by up to 90%.
The TV features a slim bezel and a panel thickness of 1.57-inches, while onboard sound is handled by a Devialet Opéra de Paris 6.2.2 audio system.
Television manufacturers have experimented with four-color palettes before, and most noticeably Sharp with its Quattron technology. In my review of the Sharp Quattron LC46LE820X, I found that the addition of a yellow pixel pushed some blues into cyan, making the color balance unnatural. It would be interesting to see how Hisense’s cyan pixel affects color reproduction in bench testing.
