RGB LED TVs have been the talk of the TV world this year, with models coming from all the manufacturers, and the first one of 2026 is here \u2014 the Hisense UR9. It\u2019s the first look at the viability of the new backlight technology outside of demo rooms, and it\u2019s a step above the traditional mini-LED TVs of years past. HDR is colorful and accurate, it has great brightness, and it is capable of showing colors beyond the P3 color space for movies and TV shows that have wider color. But at $3,500, the 65-inch model I reviewed is priced comparably to high-end OLEDs from LG and Samsung, which is tough competition.<\/p>\n

Hisense released the very first RGB LED TV last year, the $30,000 116-inch Hisense 116UX<\/a>, so it\u2019s not too surprising that its top-end models, the UR9 and UR8, are RGB LED TVs and not traditional mini LED (you need to step down to the U7SG<\/a> for that). It\u2019s also the first company to release a more affordable 2026 model, but it\u2019s still more expensive than the flagship mini-LED TVs of last year, like the TCL QM9K<\/a>.<\/p>\n
