Hisense pushes RGB Mini LED to the max Hisense made a big splash at IFA, the star of its booth being the massive 116UXS Mini LED model, which the company describes as the next evolution of RGB Mini LED screen technology. The set uses a four-colour backlight which adds a
26
dedicated cyan light source to red, green and blue, so that the system reaches a claimed 110% of BT.2020. Throw in a peak brightness of 10,000 nits, and you’ve a very spectacular screen. There was an interesting secondary message here. The 116UXS incorporates hardware-level low-blue-light technology designed to improve viewing comfort during extended sessions without compromising picture quality. The approach extends to the UR9S and UR8S models in Hisense’s 2026 RGB Mini LED range. Picture quality remains important, but so does the experience of sitting in front of the screen for several hours. Hisense also unveiled a new soundbar. The UX1 uses an 11.2.6-channel configuration, with Dolby Atmos and DTS support, plus Hi-Concerto (multi-speaker) integration with selected Hisense TVs.
LG returns to OLED Visitors to the LG stand were greeted by an AI Orchestra, with its CLOiD robot acting as conductor - a novel way to sell the concept of a connected household. The company also announced ThinQ Claw, a text-chat-
based AI agent that uses natural-language interaction and contextual understanding to provide support based on household conditions, user preferences and routines. There was also a change of tack from last year, when
it removed its entire television line from its IFA booth. For 2026, premium OLED staged a comeback. The ‘Wallpaper’ OLED W6 fronted an art gallery display, while picture-quality demonstrations included OLED evo AI and Micro RGB evo AI, both powered by its α11 AI Processor 4K Gen3.
The company also gave considerable space to its LG Signature lifestyle and appliance range. The latest LG Signature refrigerator uses AI voice
recognition designed to understand conversational language and recommend appropriate refrigeration modes for different foods. The partnering Signature wall oven combines an internal AI camera with AI Gourmet technology, and can recognise different dishes and even suggest an appropriate cooking mode. So what was my takeaway? Ultimately, the big news from IFA didn’t come from a single brand at all. The headline story was the show itself. IFA 2026 was more fragmented, more unpredictable and more eye-catching than ever before. It’ll be fascinating to see where it heads in 2027.
