Hisense launches the UR8 TV featuring RGB MiniLED technology and built-in Gemini AI

The Hisense UR8 TV introduces RGB MiniLED technology to consumer displays, replacing traditional filtered backlights with direct red, green, and blue LEDs. This design eliminates color filtering, preventing light loss and achieving a 100% BT.2020 color gamut with Pantone Validation. The TV features nearly 15,000 individual LEDs, offering precise contrast and color control. It is up to 40% more energy-efficient than standard MiniLEDs and emits up to 50% less blue light, earning TÜV Rheinland certification. For performance, the UR8 includes an ultra-low reflection Obsidian panel to maintain picture clarity in bright rooms. It supports a native 180Hz refresh rate with AI Smooth Motion, powered by the Hi-View AI Engine RGB and ChromaMatch Display technology. Gamers benefit from the Game Booster 330, which delivers variable refresh rates up to 330Hz, AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, and low input latency. Audio is handled by a built-in 2.1.2 channel surround system tuned by Devialet with Dolby Atmos support. The TV runs Google TV with integrated Gemini AI for natural voice searches. The Hisense UR8 starts at $1,299 and is available in sizes ranging from 55 to 100 inches.
