> 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... One of the touted benefits of RGB LED TVs is their ability to achieve 100 percent of the BT.2020 color space... [But] even if a TV is capable of extending beyond P3 and into BT.2020 colors (which the UR9 absolutely is), with most movies and TV shows it doesn't matter. It's also a bit of a chicken-or-the-egg situation — we need TVs that can accurately display BT.2020 before the color space is fully adopted by TV and movie creators, but if there's no content, why get a BT.2020 TV?
BGR points out this new mini LED TV also " [2]includes a DisplayPort (DP) connection alongside HDMI ."
"Well, technically, it's a USB-C port that delivers full DisplayPort functionality, but it's labeled as DisplayPort."
> The TV also has three HDMI 2.1 ports, making it a great choice for game consoles and PCs. And while HDMI 2.1 supports 4K/120Hz, the Hisense UR9S will deliver 4K/170Hz or 4K/180Hz visuals [a higher refresh rate] when connected to a gaming PC via DisplayPort. Better yet, the TV is AMD FreeSync-compatible, and Hisense plans on adding Dolby Vision 2 HDR in future firmware.
>
> The Hisense UR9S will be available in four sizes: 65, 75, 85, and 100 inches. It's worth mentioning that the two largest sizes will max out at 180Hz for the refresh rate, while the 65 and 75-inch screens come in at 170Hz. This is exciting news for serious gamers looking for the best gaming TVs and a huge step forward in the evolution of panel tech. RGB Mini LED TVs were showcased by a handful of manufacturers at CES 2026, including Samsung, Sony, and LG; so Hisense will certainly have some competition.

How many people actually care? (Score:2)
Is there actually a significant market of people who really care that their TV can display 100% of the color space versus, say, 93% or whatever? This just seems like another manufacturer sales gimmick, like 3-D or 8K.

I think the answer will depend on whether people can actually see the difference or not. Will the picture actually look better (when placed next to the competition and showing the same image), or is there only an audiophile-style novelty/placebo effect? If the images look substantially the same, then people will probably just buy whichever set is cheaper.

I have oled on a laptop and its by far the best screen I have. I'd definitely want it in a larger size ... saw a 28 inch oled monitor at the local shop... mmm mmm
I haven't seen the new hisense monitor ... but if you can *really* see the difference, I can see the motivation to purchase .

$3,500 for a 65" Hisense.
Let that sink in for a while. Hisense.
You can get a 65" 4k LG LED for $400, or OLED for $1,000.

Like most "new" tech for consumer, it starts high while they have the niche to themselves and will drop like a stone. I think I paid 5 grand for a 55" RPTV when the HD system first came out. Today that thing would be a paperweight, although a nice looking one. Had a really nice wood veneer trim. Mitsu knew how to make a good looking cabinet. Now of course a tv is a piece of glass with a black surround an inch deep.

How do you notice an improvement for streaming? (Score:2)
Won't all those compression artifacts get in the way?
For use as a monitor maybe, but for any type of compressed video content the better color range won't matter if you still have compression artifacts anytime something moves across the screen.

So, can I plug my Apple TV into it and never need to worry about that third party watching me or getting popover ads crap?

What about Apple? Why are you convinced they're benign?

They charge enough for their hardware for me to believe that they don't need to try to squeeze an extra nickel out of me with ads or otherwise selling my user data that they might collect. Not that it really matters if someone is using an AppleTV to run Netflix or other third party apps. Of course they at least have an incentive not to sell my data because keeping it to themselves may provide some competitive advantage.
Of course, the best solution for the privacy minded is a self-built Linux box and Pira

No.
But, you can plug in one of those Android pirate streaming sticks and have both privacy and no ads.
