Hisense adds fourth RGB LED colour to its huge 116-inch TV

RGB TV backlight technology is one of the big flavours of CES 2026, and Hisense has continued the trend in announcing this year’s TV range, headlined by its 116-inch flagship model.

Dubbed the 116UXS, Hisense’s top-of-the-line TV uses the brand’s particular flavour of RGB TV technology: RGB Mini LED evo. It follows the brand’s debut of RGB Mini LED technology last year, with a twist.

Instead of using white backlights and colour filters, RGB Mini LED technology — and the Micro LED variant used by other TV brands — combines red, green, and blue LEDs to produce a wider spectrum of colours. Hisense says its new ‘evo’ technology introduces a fourth, sky blue cyan, LED type into the mix, which it claims is an industry first.

According to Hisense, the lighter blue colour is “one of the most commonly missing portions of the natural light spectrum.” Combined with an upgraded chipset, which works to analyse scenes quicker and more accurately, the 116UXS is said to produce more realistic imagery.

As is often the case for the headline acts at CES, the evo type of RGB Mini LED is likely aimed at early adopters with plenty of disposable income. Good news for the rest of us, Hisense is also bringing its RGB Mini LED (sans ‘evo’) technology to more of its TVs.

Starting with Hisense’s UR9 and UR8 TVs set to launch in Australia in the coming months, the newer technology will be available in screen sizes as small as 55 inches. That should mean more affordable prices, too.

These UR TVs will also benefit from a matte finish, with Hisense joining the anti-glare bandwagon. Samsung had success with its anti-glare TVs last year, so it’s little surprise to see other TV makers follow suit.

We’ll expect to see more about Hisense’s TVs, including its lower-priced ULED range, over the next few months.
