02.01.2026 • 14h41

Remember, at the beginning of last September, in the boarding area of an Air France flight to the IFA trade show in Berlin, we met representatives from Hisense France, who were also heading to the German capital. On that occasion, we learned of the upcoming launch of a new U9 RGB Mini LED TV series (see our news item (UPDATE) IFA 25 > Surprise: Hisense announces the U9, the first consumer RGB Mini LED). In fact, the brand will be releasing two RGB Mini LED TV series in 2026, the Hisense UR8S and Hisense UR9S, in addition to the UX series already in its catalog.

The Hisense UR8S and Hisense UR9S series therefore illustrate the Chinese firm's new offensive for 2026 on the emerging market segment of RGB MiniLED TVs. The goal, of course, is to democratize this premium display technology, which until now has been limited at Hisense to XXL models like the 100UX and 116UXQ (see our news article "Hisense UX TVs: 100" and 116" Mini LED RGB + 110" Mini LED"). Hisense UR8S and UR9S RGB Mini LED TVs, 100% BT.2020. The Hisense UR8S and UR9S TVs feature a combination of the Mini LED RGB backlighting system and AI processing for sound and image, implemented by the new Hi-View AI Engine RGB processor, for (very) high-flying performance: a peak brightness of 4,000 nits for the UR9S and 3,500 nits for the UR8S, and 100% color gamut coverage. BT.2020 (compared to 95% on the 2025 UX series). Naturally, this chip will also be used for contrast management and motion compensation.

Another major upgrade on the Hisense UR8S and Hisense UR9S TVs is an anti-reflective (Glare Free) coating for maximum viewing comfort, even in brightly lit rooms. The final upgrade in terms of technical specifications, compared to those presented at IFA 2025, is a sound system designed by the French company Devialet (Tuned by Devialet label).

Hisense UR8S and Hisense UR9S Mini LED RGB TVs, up to HDR Dolby Vision 2 and HDR10+ Adaptive££££ While Hisense has yet to reveal many details about its UR8S and UR9S TVs, the information shared in Berlin in September remains, notably the HDR10+/HDR10+ Adaptive HDR Dolby Vision 2 certifications (see our IFA 25 news > HDR Dolby Vision 2, new Tone Mapping and better picture quality?). We also now know that the panels are native 180Hz (300Hz in 1080p) when a PC is connected (120Hz is still the standard for Xbox Series X and PS5 consoles) and that the Pentonic 800 chip is included. It's therefore highly likely that the Hisense UR8S and UR9S TVs will feature four HDMI 2.1 ports (and not just two). And let's not forget the Vidaa 6 operating system for all Hisense Smart TVs. 2026. Finally, regarding the screen sizes of the Hisense UR8S and Hisense UR9S series, we know them: • Hisense 65UR9S (65") • Hisense 75UR9S (75") • Hisense 85UR9S (85")

• Hisense 55UR8S (55")

• Hisense 65UR8S (65")

• Hisense 75UR5S (75")

• Hisense 85UR8S (85")

• Hisense 100UR8S (100")

The Hisense UR8S and Hisense UR9S series are expected to be available in the second quarter of 2026, in time for the next FIFA World Cup to be held in Canada, Mexico, and the United States. Suggested retail prices are still unknown.
