But I did not expect to see a major TV brand take Mini-LED backlighting back to the drawing board.
Meet theHisense116UX TriChroma Mini-LED TV.
It’s innovative, it’s unexpected, and it’s 116 inches big.
To best understand what makes it so compelling, it’s worth starting with the technology itself.
RGB Local Dimming Technology: what is it?
What sets the 116UX TriChroma apart from its high-end Mini-LED competitors ishowits Mini-LEDs work.
Hisense claims that this twist on Mini-LED tech is flush with benefits, from better brightness to energy efficiency.
What most caught my attention in a chat with Hisense representatives, however, was a claim about color.
Both of those TVs currently lead the pack.
If RGB Local Dimming technology really is this effective, it could shake things up in the Mini-LED space.
But you might have to wait a while to bring it to your living room in a smaller size.
It’s only available in one ridiculously large size and it marks the introduction of newfangled technology.
Those two components typically make for a model that’s prohibitively expensive for most people.
It’s also possible that, from a cost perspective, the formula is only justifiable at extra-large sizes.
If the 116UX proves successful, perhaps Hisense revisits the formula next year.
It’s the outcome I’m rooting for.
It would shake up the Mini-LED space.
