Hisense's mega 116-inch RGB Mini-LED TV has a mammoth price tag
What's happened? There's a new mega-TV on the block in the form of the 116-inch Hisense UX RGB Mini-LED TV. It's the future of TV technology, and a potential 'OLED killer'. And while it's not quite on sale just yet, we now know how much it will set you back. This is important because: Hisense is the first in the world to mass produce a RGB Mini-LED TV, setting a new benchmark for the screen technology. The image quality of the Hisense UX should be brilliantly bright, colorful and bold. Instead of using only white LEDs and a color filter as a light source, RGB Mini-LED TVs use red, green and blue Mini-LEDs to produce more accurate color and contrast. The set boasts a peak brightness of 8,000 nits, and Hisense says it offers 'industry-leading color coverage of up to 95% BT.2020'. The 116UX runs Google TV, giving you easy access to streaming apps such as Netflix, Prime Video and YouTube. Recommended Videos Why should I care? RBG Mini-LED TVs are the next big thing in the world of televisions, with the potential to topple OLED as the go-to screen type for the best TVs of the future. Sony gave us a sneak peek at its RGB Mini-LED TV prototype earlier this year, which led to us declaring 'if there was ever going to be an OLED killer — at least in the premium TV space — this is it. It's a game-changer.' Now we're past the prototype phase, with Hisense primed to deliver the first RGB Mini-LED set to consumers around the world very soon, with availability in the US. Ok, what's next? It's probably time to start saving. New technology rarely comes cheap, and the Hisense UX is no exception with Best Buy currently listing the set at a staggering $29,999. It's not in stock just yet, but we expect it to be available in next couple of months. Looking further ahead, the introduction of the Hisense UX signals the start of a new wave of TVs. As the likes of LG, Samsung and Sony launch rival products, we'll see a reduction in screen size and price as the technology is refined and manufacturing made more efficient, allowing for a reduction in costs across the board.

Samsung QLED TVs Earn ‘Real Quantum Dot Display' Certification From TÜV Rheinland
Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced that its latest lineup of QLED TVs has received 'Real Quantum Dot Display' certification from TÜV Rheinland, an international certification organization based in Germany. The certification verifies that Samsung's QLED TVs meet global standards for quantum dot display structure, reinforcing the company's technological leadership in the premium TV market. The certification confirms that Samsung QLED TVs comply with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 62595-1-6 standard, which defines the application of quantum dot (QD) light converting unit combined with blue light sources for standard QLED displays. As part of the certification process, TÜV Rheinland analyzed the light spectrum produced by Samsung QLED TVs and confirmed that it displayed clear separation between red, green, and blue—an important marker of color accuracy. This distinction is enabled by quantum dots and may not be as pronounced in displays using alternative materials, which can sometimes cause color mixing or reduced clarity. The results demonstrate how Samsung's use of quantum dots contributes to delivering vivid and precise color expression. With the latest certification, Samsung's QLED TVs are officially validated as true quantum dot displays, further differentiating Samsung's offerings and strengthening consumer trust in premium television technologies. 'This certification objectively validates that Samsung QLED TVs deliver true quantum dot performance built to international standards,' said Taeyong Son, Executive Vice President of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. 'We will continue to drive innovation and strengthen consumer trust as we lead the premium TV market.' The series that have received certification include the Neo QLED 8K (QN990F, QN950F), Neo QLED 4K (QN90F, QN85F, QN80F, QN70F), and QLED 4K (Q8F, Q7F, Q6F) series. Quantum dots are ultra-fine nanomaterials, tens of thousands of times smaller than a human hair, renowned for their ability to reproduce precise and vivid colors depending on light wavelength. The method by which quantum dots are integrated into display panels has become a key indicator for evaluating technological advancement in the premium TV segment. Separately, Samsung's quantum dot technology has also been recognized by global testing organization Société Générale de Surveillance (SGS) for its excellence in cadmium-free design—an environmentally conscious approach that eliminates the use of cadmium, a toxic heavy metal known to pose risks to human health and the environment.
