Hisense's 116-inch RGB MiniLED TV is now available for $30,000
Following Samsung's announcement of the company's first Micro RGB TV yesterday, Hisense has finally revealed the price tag for its 4K TriChroma TV that uses similar technology and was first revealed at CES 2025. The 116-inch Hisense 116UX is available now from 'select national retailers and authorized resellers' including Best Buy for $29,999, while a newly announced 100-inch version called the 100UX is $10,000 cheaper at $19,999. Traditional Mini LED TVs feature backlighting that use an array of tiny white or blue LEDs that are frequently paired with a layer of quantum dots to finetune the color of the light illuminating the pixels on the TV's LCD panel. It can improve a TV's color reproduction and is a cheaper alternative to MicroLED display technology, but Hisense's RGB-MiniLED technology further improves color accuracy and vividness through the use of individually controlled red, green, and blue LEDs in the backlight. Hisense claims its new TVs can reproduce 95 percent of the BT.2020 color space. Samsung says its new Micro RGB TV reproduces 100 percent, by comparison, but we don't yet know how much its 115-inch model will cost when it eventually makes its US debut.

Samsung reveals 115-INCH mega TV with jaw-dropping price tag and ‘world first' new screen
SAMSUNG has unveiled a whooper new TV - but the size isn't the only shocker. The staggering 115-inch display has an eye-watering price tag. 3 In Samsung 's home turf, South Korea, the new Micro RGB TV will set you back £24,000 (KRW 44.9 million). It's the world's first Micro RGB, a new premium TV technology that Samsung says brings "exceptional" colour accuracy. This is made possible thanks to a micro-scale RGB LED backlight with an ultra-fine pattern behind the panel. It also uses AI processing to boost both picture and sound. There's Glare Free technology too, designed to reduce reflections from bright light conditions that can sometimes make it hard to make out the picture. "Micro RGB achieves unprecedented precision in the control of micrometer-sized RGB LEDs, raising the bar for color accuracy and contrast in consumer displays," said Taeyong Son, Executive Vice President and Head of the R&D Team of the Visual Display (VD) Business at Samsung Electronics. "With this launch, we're setting the standard in the large-sized, ultra-premium TV market and reinforcing our commitment to next-generation display innovation." The TV isn't on sale beyond South Korea yet. But there are plans to release it in the US next. And there will be a global roll out with "a variety of sizes to meet customer needs", Samsung said.
