Hisense 116UXS
led by the fl agship 116UXS and new UR9 and UR8 Series. As the fi rst TV manufacturer
to bring true RGB MiniLED Local Dimming technology to the market in 2025, Hisense returned this year with a rapid evolution of that breakthrough. This evolution is
led by the fl agship 116UXS and expands the technology into a more accessible RGB MiniLED lineup for the fi rst time via the new UR9 and UR8 Series, providing unprecedented colour precision across a wide range of screen sizes. The 116UXS represents the fullest expression
of Hisense’s colour philosophy. This year, that philosophy comes to life through Hisense’s new RGB MiniLED evo backlight system, a four-primary architecture that adds cyan to the current RGB MiniLED structure. Cyan sits in the part of the 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 new UR9 and UR8 RGB MiniLED Series
carry forward Hisense’s colour breakthrough by making the technology available to more homes, more screen sizes and more price points. As the second generation of the RGB MiniLED architecture fi rst introduced in 2025, this expanded lineup brings the benefi ts of richer primaries, cleaner tonal separation and more consistent colour accuracy to more consumers, now spanning screens from 55 inches up to 100 inches. TCL continues to push the boundaries of
display technologies that span all screen sizes, from large to small. At its CES 2026 showcase, TCL marked its global debut of its SQD-Mini LED Technology, representing a revolutionary leap in Mini LED performance. By transforming

the local dimming zone of conventional Mini LEDs into Precise Dimming Series, it enables precise light control across the entire screen and delivers exceptional performance in both highlights and shadows. It also incorporates TCL’s industry-leading Super QLED technology and an Ultra Colour Filter Panel, achieving a longer service life, better colour performance, and higher peak brightness. Furthermore, it off ers a more stable global high colour gamut, more precise light control, and a more refi ned appearance. Showcased is the world’s fi rst TV powered
by SQD-Mini LED technology – the TCL X11L. This TV achieves up to 100% BT.2020 All-Scene Wide Colour Gamut and features CSOT’s WHVA 2.0 Ultra Panel for better colour performance, higher native contrast and sharper picture quality. With up to 20,736 precise dimming zones and up to 10,000 nits, HDR content appear vivid and lifelike on this TV. The X11L also stands out with a sleek, nearly 2 cm-thinner and Virtually ZeroBorder design. For audio, it features Audio by Bang & Olufsen, off ering a premium sound experience.
with your TV, including enhanced Google Photos search, new creative features with Nano Banana and Veo, and more. TCL also demonstrated Dolby Vision 2, the next generation of Dolby Vision, designed to deliver exceptional visual experiences through Content Intelligence, cinematic detail, and viewing environment awareness. Dolby Vision 2 is planned to be rolled out to TCL’s X and C TV lineups in 2026 via OTA (Over-the-Air) updates. The industry continues to develop more
acronyms as technology continues to improve the quality of our viewing pleasures. This is more so with enhanced backlighting of the traditional LCD televisions. For instance, MicroLED RGB, MiniLED RGB, SQD-MiniLED and so on. The RGB technologies utilize Red, Blue and
Green LEDs in the backlight units rather than the traditional white LEDs in prior generations, delivering several signifi cant advantages. First, it reduces reliance on fi lters and/or quantum dots for colour conversion, reducing Bill of Material (BOM) costs and power utilization. Second, it greatly expands the gamut to 100% of cinema colour, BT2020. Third, blooming, light spilling from bright areas into dark areas, is decreased and HDR performance improved. While still an LCD display, MiniLED RGB and MicroLED RGB deliver Full-Array Local Dimming (FALD) with far more zones. TCL showcased MiniLED RGB as well as SQD-
MiniLED, with the later integrating white MiniLED back lights combined with Quantum Dot (QD) technology for full colour conversion. Whilst the LCD TV manufacturers battle it
TCL’s collaborations with Gemini integration for
Google TV and Dolby Vision 2 brought exciting upgrades to display experiences at CES 2026. Building on last year’s debut of the fi rst “Always On” Google TV with Gemini, this year’s models will add even more intuitive ways to interact
PEOPLE MAKE THE DIFFERENCE
out to improve this traditional Liquid Crystal Display format, LG Display continues to be the leading supplier of large format OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) panels for several other leading television brands. That said, it is likely the China based manufacturers will eventually rise to compete with LG on larger format displays.
