THE world’s first television screens were tiny at around two to three inches. Now, Hisense has just launched the world’s largest commercially available TV at 116 inches.
The Hisense 116-inch Class UX Series RGB-MiniLED was officially launched in the Philippines at Ansons The Link Makati last October 7.
Green Chang, deputy managing director of Hisense Philippines, described the 116-inch model as ‘the world’s first trichrome LED TV powered by RGB local dimming display.’
Hisense claims that the 116′ TV’s visual power is unmatched with up to 8,000 nits peak brightness and over 20,000 color control units with industry-first RGB Local Dimming for hyper-realistic clarity and color purity.
The industry-first RGB local dimming feature allows independent light and color control across red, green and blue channels to produce lifelike color accuracy and clarity beyond what OLED and QLED panels can deliver.
Because of the TV’s ability to dim individual colors, it allows for 97 percent BT.2020 color space coverage and up to 10,000 nits of peak brightness. The TV has a 40mm ultra-slim profile and 6.2.2-channel built-in speakers with Hisense’s CineStage X surround sound.
At the core of the TV is the Hi-View AI Engine X, a powerful processor that continuously analyzes and adapts content in real-time. This processor optimizes both visuals and audio for a stunningly realistic experience. The TV, said Hisense, operates with a CPU that is 1.4 times faster, a GPU that is 2.2 times faster, and an NPU that is 1.7 times faster than previous TV models.
The TV supports all major HDR formats including Dolby Vision IQ and HDR10+, as well as IMAX Enhanced. It also supports Dolby Atmos and DTS Virtual X audio formats.
The AI Picture feature brings vibrant colors and smooth motion, while the AI Sound ensures clear audio by detecting dialogue and optimizing sound based on both the on-screen action and the surrounding environment. The AI Scenario adjusts picture settings to perfectly suit the specific type of content being watched, while AI Energy helps save on electricity through smart, pixel-level brightness control.
‘Every advancement has been driven by a breakthrough in lighting technology. We have achieved the ability to manage light and color simultaneously. This means purer color, brighter highlights, better contrast, and higher energy efficiency,’ said Joseph Cromwell Sanchez, Hisense Philippines sales director.
During the Philippine launch, Hisense also announced its partnership with the Cultural Center of the Philippines. Under the partnership, Hisense will provide new TV units to support the CCP’s programs in film, theater, and visual arts. This reflects the brand’s commitment to community building and cultural preservation.
The Hisense 116′ Class UX Series RGB-MiniLED is now available exclusively at Anson’s The Link Makati. It will also be available at select retailers nationwide in the coming weeks.
