At CES 2025 in Las Vegas Hisense has unveiled a colossal 116-inch TriChroma LED TV, announcing collaborations in display technology with Pantone and Devialet.

According to Hisense, these partnerships will help to bring further improvements to its premium TV and Laser TV line-ups through enhanced picture quality with Pantone Validation, and integrating Devialet's audio expertise to further enhance the immersive entertainment experience.


At CES 2025 Hisense introduced its 116-inch TriChroma LED TV, also known as their "RGB TV", featuring advanced RGB local dimming display technology with independent red, green, and blue LED chips, which it says delivers superior colour precision and up to 97% coverage of the BT.2020 colour space. 

A peak brightness of 10,000 nits offers vibrant colours, deep contrast, and exceptional clarity, and according to Hisense, powered by its Hi-View AI Engine X, the TV optimizes every frame with AI-driven features including AI Peak Brightness, AI RGB Local Dimming, and AI Banding Smoother, ensuring dynamic contrast, brightness, and colour adjustments in real-time.

The 116-inch TriChroma LED TV is equipped with a 6.2.2 multi-channel surround sound system, integrating Dolby Atmos and DTS Virtual X technologies for an immersive audio experience. 

AI Sound Optimization adjusts the sound to match content, setting a new benchmark for home theatre experiences, offering both cinematic visuals and highly-immersive sound.


At CES 2025 Hisense also unveiled the world’s first consumer-ready 136-inch MicroLED display.

Featuring over 24.88 million self-emissive LEDs, Hisense says this TV offers incredible clarity and colour precision, with a contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1 and brightness up to 10,000 nits. 

It also covers 90% of the BT.2020 colour space for vibrant, true-to-life visuals.

Powered by the Hi-View AI Engine X, the TV uses AI-driven algorithms to enhance colour accuracy, manage dynamic 3D colour, and optimize display details.

"In supporting Dolby Vision IQ, HDR10+, and Filmmaker Mode, with Dolby Atmos and DTS Virtual X providing immersive sound, the 136-inch MicroLED Display sets a new benchmark for home entertainment," according to Hisense.


Hisense's Gaming Laser TV features a 2ms-level picture response delay and a 4K60Hz and 2K240Hz refresh rate, delivering smoother, more responsive gameplay than traditional 144Hz LCD panels.

Hisense says the low latency feature, already being tested for the "Designed for Xbox" PX3-PRO, will be integrated into future models, including the PX4 and C3 series in 2025.

The C2 Ultra 4K Laser Mini Projector, also "Designed for Xbox", offers a flexible screen size range from 65 to 300 inches. 

It features a rotating gimbal design for easy setup and includes auto keystone correction, auto-focus, and obstacle avoidance for a hassle-free installation. 

TriChroma technology provides a wide colour gamut without harmful blue light, while the built-in subwoofer, 2.1 channel JBL audio, and DTS Virtual:X surround sound deliver an immersive audiovisual experience, perfect for both movies and gaming.


The latest in AI-powered TVs from Hisense are the U7 and U8 TV series enabled by the Hisense Hi-View Engine Pro, optimising the audio-visual experience with real-time frame-level analysis and handling complex functions such as 4K upscaling and colour enhancements. 

The pinnacle of the ULED line-up is the U9 Series, powered by Hisense's flagship Hi-View Engine X.
