Hisense is back at CES 2026 with a lineup of new TVs that includes new RGB Mini-LED TVs (like the UR9 and UR8) and a new Micro-LED TV (dubbed the 163MX). Here's what we know.

Mini-LED is an evolution of traditional LCD TV backlight tech, using thousands of tiny light-emitting diodes to improve picture quality. One of the first mini-LED TVs to become available was the 2019 TCL 8-Series, and it's a technology which has become more widely available with each passing year.

CES 2026 brought two new devices from Hisense, the 116UXS RGB Mini‑LED TV and the XR10 TriChroma Laser Projector.

CES is poised to be the story of RGB LED, with almost every major TV manufacturer set to show off their latest models using the technology. But TCL is hoping to change that narrative, or even overtake it, with its own story — that of the X11L SQD-Mini LED TV.

LED TVs have quietly evolved beyond headline features and spec-sheet noise. Better panels, smarter processing, and improved software support have changed how these TVs perform in everyday use. This piece looks at what’s new in the latest LED TVs and which ones you should buy.

Both LCD TVs and LED TVs have been on the market for many years. TV-size LCDs gained popularity in the mid-2000s, while LED TVs followed a few years later. The marketing departments for many companies, most notably Samsung, have blurred the meaning behind ...

There's a lot of chat at the moment about RGB Mini LED being the next big thing in TV technology. Well TCL thinks it knows better, and has chosen SQD Mini LED as its flagship technology this year. It will feature in the X11L, which launched in China towards the end of last year, and will come to Europe and the US later this year.

RBG-MiniLEDs will be the star of the show at CES 2026, with multiple manufacturers launching new TVs leveraging the technology.

The idea is that by using smaller red, blue, and green LEDs, Micro RGB TVs will not only have better color accuracy, they’ll also see less light bleed. Light bleed happens when an LED TV’s backlight leaks from a bright area of an image to a dark area.
