With the Hisense 116UX TV, the brand can boast of offering for sale this year a Mini LED RGB diffuser, in addition to the largest television in the world (one inch better than the TCL 115X955 Max).

While the peak brightness, indicated at around 8,000 nits last April (compared to 10,000 nits announced at CES) remains the same this fall, the number of zones is, however, different from that mentioned in the spring. Hisense then indicated 10,752 zones, without further details. In fact, considering a triplet of RGB diodes instead of a single blue diode in the Mini LED backlighting system and the ability to independently control each of these LEDs, Hisense considers that each triplet of RGB diodes corresponds to three zones, whereas a single zone prevails with a classic Mini LED backlight. It is therefore necessary to divide the figure provided by three to know the actual number of zones, i.e. 3,584 zones (10,752/3).
In terms of colorimetry, efficiency is on the rise and the announced performances command respect with 97% coverage of the Rec.2020 gamut. Similarly, the Color Volume progresses via encoding of each of the three colors on 26 bits. The ability to manage zones by group and to control their brightness, concomitantly with management of the light intensity of each of the zones, allows extremely fine management of brightness. This process allows for independent color brightness generation and eliminates blooming while maintaining precise control over each pixel.
One of the other benefits of a Mini LED RGB backlighting system is the reduction of blue light emissions that are harmful to the eyes. Its percentage here is 38% of the light emitted compared to 70.5% on a conventional Mini LED TV. And since only the diodes needed to display an image are activated, energy consumption is also reduced by 30%.

Based on the Vidaa U9 interface, the Hisense 116UX TV is equipped with a brightness sensor, Pro Game Mode, and Alexa and Vidaa Voice voice assistants. For the rest, Filmmaker Mode, Imax Enhanced certification, and the [abc]Dolby Vision IQ[/abc] function associated with an ambient light sensor are on the menu. Other information on this diffuser: its thickness does not exceed 38 mm and the panel benefits from an anti-reflective coating. Without total guarantee, the technical characteristics of the Hisense 100UX Mini LED RGB TV should be more or less identical. Finally, Hisense announced during its press conference at IFA that all its televisions equipped with Vidaa 6 and above will benefit from the Xbox Cloud Gaming application from the end of 2025.
Immediate availability. Indicative price: €20,000, compared to €25,000 initially announced.
