According to sources close to the company, Hisense plans to unveil its newest generation of RGB-Mini LED technology at the show. As the brand that pioneered this approach to backlighting in consumer TVs, they're positioning themselves to push the envelope even further in the premium LCD display space.
Hisense kicked things off back in 2025 with their groundbreaking 116-inch RGB-Mini LED model (the TriChroma series), which ditched traditional white or blue LED backlights in favor of independent red, green, and blue LEDs. This setup delivers dramatically purer colors, wider color gamut coverage (hitting up to 97% of BT.2020 in some implementations), higher peak brightness, and better overall contrast without relying on extra filters. It's a big step up for Mini LED LCD panels, closing the gap on issues like color accuracy and black-level performance that have traditionally given OLED an edge.
The upcoming iteration promises even more refinements - think improved energy efficiency, reduced harmful blue light for better eye comfort, and enhanced AI picture processing through their Hi-View engine. Industry chatter suggests we'll see this tech roll out across a much broader range of sizes, from more practical 55-inch to 100-inch models, making cutting-edge RGB-Mini LED far more accessible than the ultra-premium flagships of last year.
Hisense's official invitation teases a major press conference on January 5, 2026 (local Las Vegas time), where they're expected to lay out the details. Under their "Innovating A Brighter Life" theme, the company is framing this as the start of a more human-centric display era - prioritizing natural-looking visuals, sustainability, and real-world viewing comfort.
The timing couldn't be more intense. CES 2026 is shaping up as a full-on showdown in next-gen TV tech, with heavyweights like Samsung (pushing Micro RGB), LG, Sony, and TCL all planning to showcase their own takes on RGB-based Mini LED or similar backlighting innovations. It's basically a global battle for supremacy in high-end LCD and the future of bright, vibrant home entertainment.
Hisense, already a dominant force in the large-screen market (especially 100-inch+ TVs), seems determined to keep the momentum going. If they deliver on the hype - bringing next-level color volume, precision local dimming, and competitive pricing - it could mark another real leap forward for Chinese brands in the premium display arena, potentially leapfrogging traditional Japanese and Korean rivals in the generational race.
Stay tuned - CES kicks off January 6, but the real action starts a day earlier. This could be the moment RGB-Mini LED truly goes mainstream.
