Main technology show CES 2025 introduced many interesting new TVs: from LG OLED G5To Samsung S95F, Samsung Frame ProAnd Panasonic Z95B. But none of them have managed to achieve what Hisense achieved with its latest Mini-LED offering.
I covered the announcement of 116UX ahead of CES 2025. What’s really interesting about this TV (besides the fact that it measures a gigantic 116 inches, making it the largest LED TV in the world) is its name, “TriChroma LED TV”, associated with its RGB Mini-LED technology (read my explanation here).
But reading technology is one thing, seeing in person it’s a whole different story – and even my photos on this page can’t do justice to the stunning color the 116UX is capable of delivering. I hope the TriChroma badge extends across the brand’s line, with smaller, more home-friendly models coming out in the future.
Watching the RGB lighting work in a separate interactive area at Hisense’s CES booth showed me how capable the system is of adjusting the red, green, and blue backlight channels to increase color volume—which also means Hisense can reduce blue light. luminous flux, which is said to be less fatiguing.
However, after looking at Hisense’s demo for a while in a rather dark space, it’s impossible to ignore the sheer brightness of this Mini-LED technology. It’s mega-bright – some might say too much bright—but that’s just one of the factors that helps this technology stand out from OLED competitors.
It’s good to see Hisense standing out from the other big players with technology that makes it stand out from what any of them currently offer. This is one of the main reasons why the 116UX has such an impressive screen – even if its size won’t be a logical purchase for most people. But that doesn’t take away from its technological wonder, an integral part of what makes CES such a standout show year after year.
