If you’ve been paying attention to the world of TVs in the last couple of years, you’ll likely have spotted where the new technical frontier is. OLED panels have now become fairly standard, but the really interesting work is arguably going on in RGB MiniLED tech. It just so happens that Hisense is a genuine leader in this field, as one of the originators of RGB MiniLED TVs in the first place.
That means that in 2026 it has a range of TVs with the panel tech already available, at a time when plenty of other TV-makers are still scrambling to even introduce their first version. If you want to know more about its high-end RGB MiniLED TVs, you’re in the right place – we’re going to explore what’s so impressive about the tech, and the TVs that Hisense has with it right now.
What makes RGB MiniLED so impressive?

MiniLED TVs have been around for a couple of years at this point, but the change to RGB MiniLED is a major upgrade, and for once it’s a change that you can understand just from looking at the name.
Where normal LEDs have a single light, RGB MiniLEDs have three – with individual red, green and blue diodes that can work independently to create colour right at the source, instead of requiring help from those around them.
This means you can combine total colour accuracy with unrivalled brightness. It even outperforms OLED tech on this front, with colour coverage that has to be seen to be believed, without any compromise on brightness. You also don’t have to worry about burn-in, which is the classic fear with any OLED panel, especially if you watch or play the same type of content regularly.
Crucially, the tech also offers much finer control over local dimming zones, so contrast can be enhanced and the difference between vibrant colour and inky black is at times almost eye-melting.
RGB MiniLED vs OLED: Which is more impressive?

We’ve mentioned a few times in this piece already that OLED panels are hugely popular, and with good reason – they’re able to produce vivid picture quality with inky blacks, but they have drawbacks.
As mentioned, burn-in is always a threat in the background, and brightness can be a bit of a letdown, too. That’s where RBG MiniLED starts to pull away, with brightness that can surge way past what most OLED panels offer, with colour accuracy that remains reliable whether you’re in bright viewing conditions or in perfect darkness.
If you look across whole TV catalogues like the one offered by Hisense, you’ll also see that RGB MiniLED TVs have impressive pricing relative to their size – normally, breakthrough technologies like this can be budget-busting, but that’s not the case with RGB MiniLED.

Again, while some very big names in the TV world haven’t yet managed to bring a single RGB MiniLED TV to the market, Hisense is leading the way and has multiple models in various sizes. It has the UR9S, for instance, which comes in 65, 75 and 85-inch variants, and sits at the top of its range.
There’s also the UR8S, in 55, 65, 75, 85 and 100-inch versions, making it super flexible to fit the space you have in mind. Finally, if you want a truly massive TV boasting the very latest panel tech, there’s the UXQ, which comes in 116 and 100-inch versions, and can turn your whole wall into a gorgeous window for content.
This means that you have an RGB MiniLED option, whether you want a really typical-sized TV, at something like 55 or 65 inches, or if you’re making a home theatre to really prompt envy from all sides, and you’re aiming at 100 inches or bigger.

Of the models we’ve talked about above, the UR9S is probably the one that most people will gravitate towards, and it’s easy to see why. It offers RGB MiniLED tech in a really approachable package – with a design that’s particularly lovely thanks to a really compact but sturdy stand.
It’s amazing for immersive content like movies or gaming, too, with 4.1.2 multi-channel surround sound, and a Game Mode that goes up to 180Hz, way more than some other TVs. Plus, an anti-reflection coating keeps it glare-free.
With up to 3,500 nits of brightness, it’s also the perfect pick for a living room or lounge that has plenty of light, and you won’t have to worry about it being drowned out (a classic OLED issue). It’s amazing for sports, too, which is a pretty great thing given the World Cup coming this summer.
Hisense hasn’t yet confirmed pricing for the UR9S, but you can head to the Hisense website here to register your interest in it. Do that, and you could win the chance to get the full price of the TV refunded, netting you a UR9S for free!
