Hisense Expands RGB Mini-LED TV Lineup for 2026 with New U7 and U8 Series

Hisense is bolstering its television offerings for 2026 with the introduction of the U7 and U8 Series MiniLED TVs, building upon the foundation of its RGB Mini-LED technology first showcased in 2025. These new models aim to deliver premium picture quality and features at competitive price points, expanding access to advanced display technology for a wider range of consumers.

Hisense U7 Series: MiniLED Performance at a Value

The U7 Series is positioned as a step-down offering from Hisense’s flagship RGB Mini-LED models, such as the UR8, while still providing a significant upgrade over traditional LED TVs. It features Hisense’s Hi-QLED MiniLED Pro backlight with full array local dimming, designed to enhance contrast and brightness. The U7 boasts a native 165Hz refresh rate and utilizes the Hi-View AI Engine Pro for image processing, aiming to deliver smooth motion and optimized picture quality.

Available in screen sizes ranging from 55 inches to 116 inches, the U7 Series comes in two versions: one powered by Google TV (U7SG) and another with Fire TV (U7SF). Pricing starts at $1,300 for the 55-inch model, scaling up to $20,000 for the expansive 116-inch version. [CNET]

Hisense U6 Series: Enhanced Color and Smart Features

Complementing the U7, the U6 Series also incorporates MiniLED technology with full array local dimming and Quantum Dot color for improved color accuracy and vibrancy. It includes an AI picture mode to automatically optimize settings based on content. The U6 features a sound system with an integrated subwoofer and is available in sizes from 55 to 100 inches, exclusively with Fire TV onboard. Hisense anticipates the U6 will be available in the coming weeks through Amazon and other retailers.

Expanding RGB Mini-LED Technology

Hisense continues to innovate with its RGB Mini-LED technology, which utilizes red, green, and blue LEDs for more precise color control. The company also showcased its 163MX MicroLED TV at CES 2026, featuring an RGBY (red, green, blue, yellow) architecture, and the 116UXS with RGB MiniLED evo, incorporating cyan into the backlight structure for enhanced color gradients.
