CES 2026 is underway and we’re seeing big announcements from some of the world’s most popular TV manufacturers. Among them is Hisense, which has focused its next-gen TV improvements around color production.
The biggest announcement is the brand’s new RGB MiniLED evo tech set to come to a new Hisense 116UXS model first.
It brings with it a fourth color alongside the primary red, green and blue used in RGB tech. That new color is cyan, although Hisense is calling it sky blue, which the brand says will help improve color fidelity.
Hisense says cyan sits in the color 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.” The brand says it can deliver up to 110% of BT.2020 color coverage.
It says the tech allows darker scenes to reveal smoother details, while brighter pictures can maintain better clarity. This is designed to work across everything you watch on the TV, so it means you should get a richer picture even outside of HDR content.

This model is the flagship TV, and we expect it to have a remarkably high price tag. The brand’s previous 116UX model cost $29,999.99 at launch. However, PCMag’s Will Greenwald found it offered both the widest color gamut and brightest picture he’d ever measured on a TV.
That tech from last year is also set to come to more affordable and smaller models as part of the Hisense UR9 and UR8. The sizes will vary from 55-inch to 100-inch with various options in-between, but we’ve yet to learn prices for these models.
Hisense says, “They’re engineered for real homes, preserving color integrity in bright rooms and maintaining stable, natural color during fast-paced sports, films and gaming.”
Back at the top of the brand’s lineup is a new 163-inch MicroLED TV called the Hisense 163MX. The big change here is a different color: it’s bringing a yellow sub-pixel, making the industry’s first RGBY MicroLED tech.

Hisense says this fills the “critical spectral gap between 500 to 600nm” where it says current MicroLED tech has fallen short. It also says it has advanced color management to help balance luminance and chromatic uniformity so the 163MX can achieve up to 100% of the BT.2020 color space.
Other TV announcements at CES 2025 so far include the LG W6 OLED, Amazon’s first lifestyle TV, and Samsung’s new Micro RGB line of TVs.
