Hisense Unveils 2026 Mini-LED TV Lineup With Massive 116-Inch Option

Hisense has officially introduced its next generation of Mini-LED televisions for 2026, positioning the new U6 and U7 series as high-performance alternatives to more expensive flagship models. This strategic launch aims to capture the premium display market by offering advanced imaging and audio technologies at more accessible price points.

The U7 Series: Premium Features and Scale

The standout of the announcement is the U7 series, which features the Hi-QLED Mini-LED Pro system. This technology utilizes full-array local dimming to provide precise control over backlight zones, resulting in deeper blacks and enhanced contrast. Driven by the Hi-View AI Engine Pro, the U7 supports a native 165 Hz refresh rate, making it a strong contender for high-end gaming and sports.

Audio is equally prioritized, with the U7 boasting a 50W Dolby Atmos 2.1.2 sound system. Consumers can choose between Google TV or Amazon Fire TV platforms, ensuring seamless integration with various streaming ecosystems. Notably, the U7 reaches a massive maximum size of 116 inches.

The U6 Series: Balanced Performance

The U6 series serves as the value-focused entry in the Mini-LED lineup. It incorporates Quantum Dot colors and full-array local dimming, supported by an AI-based picture mode. While more modest than the U7, it still includes an integrated subwoofer for improved audio and is available in sizes ranging from 55 to 100 inches.
