Are you ready for a revolution in TV technology? Hisense, the origin of RGB MiniLED, first introduced the RGB MiniLED display route at CES 2025 and has continued to advance the technology since then. At CES 2026, the company unveiled its latest RGB MiniLED evo, raising the bar for color accuracy and big-screen performance across the entire display industry.
Even the most advanced displays struggle to display certain natural colors at all, especially when it comes to sky blues, ocean tones and cyan-to-blue gradients. The issue isn’t fine-tuning or calibration, but a fundamental limitation of conventional LED-based backlights — they can't generate some of the key wavelengths found in nature, meaning these colors simply cannot be rendered properly on screen.
Hisense's RGB MiniLED technology — further advanced through RGB MiniLED evo — addresses this challenge, delivering exceptional, natural colors through a combination of advanced light source architecture, optical blending and AI-driven color control, laying a new foundation for more accurate and human-centered picture quality.
Breaking the bottleneck: solving oversaturation and unnatural color
LED backlights have long been a bottleneck for the display industry, even for LED and quantum dot displays. Across today’s TV technologies, getting colors to look truly natural and accurate is still harder than it should be — especially when it comes to wide color coverage and subtle tonal detail. Their limitations are particularly obvious in natural scenes of blue skies and blue-to-green gradients, where even very high-end TVs can display oversaturated blues, unnatural turquoises and inconsistent gradients no matter how much processing power they have.
These gaps mean that what appears on screen can still deviate noticeably from the real world — and from the visual intent of content creators — even on premium displays. Better brightness and dimming zones doesn't fix the issue either, because the problem goes back to the light-source spectrum. In order to fix it you need a fundamentally new light-source architecture. And that's exactly why the RGB MiniLED route — further advanced through RGB MiniLED evo — is designed to address this challenge.
Why Hisense leads the way to picture perfection
Hisense, the origin of RGB MiniLED, are uniquely positioned to drive this evolution in TV technology: they're the only brand with a complete display technology ecosystem spanning RGB MiniLED, TriChroma Laser and MicroLED.
Each of those technologies serves different scenarios, but what they all have in common is a focus on delivering consistent, high-quality performance at large screen sizes. Hisense has spent many years investing heavily in color science and light-source engineering, both critical to maintaining image quality and reliability at large screen sizes, and that investment and expertise has enabled Hisense to introduce a real evolution of RGB MiniLED for the entire industry as part of its roadmap, not as a reactive update.
A real evolution: how RGB MiniLED evo raises the bar
RGB MiniLED evo represents a real evolution within the RGB MiniLED route, building on its strengths and extending how the backlight generates and controls color as display requirements continue to rise. As screen sizes grow larger and expectations for natural color increase, the industry has moved beyond optimizing individual parameters toward more integrated, system-level solutions.
That evolution begins with the RGB + Sky Blue/Cyan quad-LED architecture, an industry first. By introducing a fourth LED, RGB MiniLED evo expands the color generation capability of the backlight, enabling more faithful rendering of skies, oceans, teal and blue-green tones, and supporting up to 110% of BT.2020 color capability.
To ensure these expanded color signals remain consistent across large screens and high-brightness scenes, RGB MiniLED evo also introduces a next-generation optical blending structure, producing smoother gradients and greater stability. This is paired with the Hi-View AI Engine RGB, which delivers 134-bit color control and manages over 40,000 dimming zones,allowing color, brightness, and local dimming to be coordinated as a unified system.
Together, these advancements build on the RGB MiniLED foundation to deliver a system-level evolution across the light source, spectrum, optical structure and AI — demonstrating how the RGB MiniLED route continues to scale and mature for large-screen color performance.
Practical magic: how RGB MiniLED evo makes your viewing more vivid
The improvements RGB MiniLED evo delivers aren't just numbers on a spec sheet. They deliver improvements you can see in every movie, show and sport. ΔE < 1 color accuracy means much more realistic skies, water textures, landscapes and skin tones, free from oversaturated colors or weird-looking artificial tints.
With RGB MiniLED evo, brighter scenes retain far more highlight detail and tonal balance, while darker scenes maintain shadow depth and emotional nuance. Carefully calibrated color reproduction and optimized picture processing help ensure that films are presented as their creators intended , delivering a more faithful and immersive cinematic experience. Dedicated tuning for gaming and sports further enhances responsiveness and clarity across different content types.
RGB MiniLED evo doesn't just deliver a better view. It delivers a more comfortable view too, even during extended viewing. That's because the new light-source architecture produces 80% less blue light, which we know can cause visual fatigue during protracted viewing sessions.
With RGB MiniLED evo you get a more authentic, more involving and more comfortable viewing experience every time.
Meet the new hero TV: the Hisense 116UXS
RGB MiniLED evo isn't a far-future technology, it is being brought to life in Hisense’s upcoming flagship 116UXS TV, which showcases the full RGB MiniLED evo architecture. As the first flagship model built around this complete system, the116UXS offers a clear preview of what the next generation of premium large-screen TVs can deliver.
Hisense 116UXS – the hero model equipped with RGB MiniLED evo, integrating the Hi-View AI Engine RGB and an advanced Obsidian panel, and featuring a stunning 6.4.2 sound system co-engineered with luxury audiophile brand Devialet to deliver a complete premium system that shows off the technology's full potential.
With more accurate color reproduction, greater luminance stability, smoother gradients and a deeply immersive audio experience the Hisense 116UXS sets a new benchmark for premium TV performance – and it demonstrates how RGB MiniLED elevates the entire category.
RGB MiniLED vs OLED and QD-MiniLED: the winner is clear
We already have some excellent TV technologies such as OLED and QD-MiniLED. But RGB MiniLED offers some big advantages in the real-world spaces where we actually watch TV. The first big benefit is that RGB MiniLED maintains higher brightness and much more stable picture performance, and that's not affected by strong ambient light in the way OLED can be.
Another really clear benefit is the way a wide range of everyday content is displayed on an RGB MiniLED TV. They're much more natural-looking, more consistent, and more accurate across all kinds of lighting conditions.
RGB MiniLED also scales really well without becoming prohibitively expensive, which is important in a sector demanding ever-bigger TVs. And it doesn’t have the risk of burn-in that OLED panels can experience after repeated viewings of news, sports, gaming or streaming interfaces.
Each of those improvements would be great on its own. Together, they deliver an exceptional experience that feels more natural and consistent in everyday home viewing.
A new generation, fully realized
RGB MiniLED represents the next generation of display technology for premium TVs, offering a fundamentally different approach to color, brightness, and large-screen performance. With RGB MiniLED evo, that potential is taken further – revealing what this technology is truly capable of as display expectations continue to rise.
As the origin of RGB MiniLED, Hisense is uniquely positioned to drive this evolution forward. And with RGB MiniLED evo, the company hasn't just strengthened its leadership in the RGB MiniLED category. It has helped define a new benchmark for premium TV performance.
More importantly, RGB MiniLED evo points to where premium TV display technology is heading next, as expectations for realism, scale, and more human-centered viewing experiences continue to rise.
