Hisense has introduced the 116-inch TriChroma LED TV (116UX) at CES 2025, featuring what the company claims to be the first consumer TV to utilize RGB Local Dimming Technology. This innovation, according to Hisense, advances MiniLED displays by offering enhanced color precision, vibrancy, and efficiency, contributing to the evolution of large-screen televisions.
The RGB Local Dimming Technology distinguishes itself from traditional displays by using independent red, green, and blue LEDs to generate pure colors directly at the source, bypassing the need for conventional white or blue backlights. Hisense reports that this method allows the TV to achieve 97% of the BT.2020 color space, representing one of the widest color gamuts available in a MiniLED display.
The TV incorporates tens of thousands of optical lenses containing individually controlled RGB LEDs. These clusters allow for multi-level dimming at both the LED and lens levels, ensuring enhanced brightness accuracy and precise color reproduction. Hisense notes that this reduces common issues like color filtering inefficiencies and delivers deeper contrasts and lifelike gradients.
Beyond picture quality, RGB Local Dimming Technology enhances energy efficiency by only illuminating necessary LEDs, leading to lower power consumption. Hisense also highlights a 38% reduction in blue light emissions for a more comfortable viewing experience.
The 116UX is powered by the Hi-View AI Engine X, enabling real-time adjustments to brightness, contrast, and color. Additional features include Dolby Vision®, Dolby Vision IQ®, and IMAX Enhanced for optimized visuals, as well as Dolby Atmos® and DTS Virtual X for immersive audio.
With Google TV™ integration and smart home compatibility, the 116-inch TriChroma LED TV reflects Hisense’s focus on merging display innovation with modern convenience.
