Although microLED displays have been around for several years, TVs featuring the next-gen tech still haven’t made it into people’s homes simply because they cost way too much. With the cheapest models from Samsung and LG priced well over $100,000, microLED TVs are way beyond the average consumer’s reach. However, Hisense’s entry into the segment could play a significant role in making the technology more accessible.
The company showcased its first consumer-ready microLED TV, the Hisense 136MX, at CES today. It features a massive 136-inch display with over 24.88 million microscopic LEDs capable of “near-infinite dynamic contrast ratio, delivering deep blacks, dazzling brightness, and remarkable clarity.” Powered by Hisense’s flagship Hi-View AI Engine X chipset, the TV offers an eye-watering peak brightness of 10,000 nits and 95% coverage of the BT.2020 color space.
