New MicroLED Smart TVs have been popping up regularly for years now. But with prices of well over $100,000 in some cases, they are still yet to reach the mass market. Hisense now aims to change this, at least a little, as its new 136MX MicroLED TV with a diagonal of 136 inches is intended for the wider market, but due to the lack of price information, it is presumably in the top price segment.
Nevertheless, the 136MX is expected to be a milestone on the way to more affordable MicroLED Smart TVs. The panel consists of a total of 24.88 million microscopically small LEDs, all of which can be dimmed individually, similar to OLED pixels. These LEDs are intended to help the 136MX achieve first-class brightness of up to 10,000 nits and very high resolution, while the perfect black means that the contrast is extremely high. Unlike OLED, MicroLED is less likely to suffer burn-in, thereby having a significantly longer lifespan. The 136MX reaches a frame rate of 120 Hz.
Hisense has also developed the new 116-inch TriChroma LED TV as a cheaper alternative. Basically, this is a TV with mini LED backlighting, which uses a new type of "RGB Local Dimming Technology" to dynamically adjust the color of the mini LEDs to the content in order to display brighter colors. Hisense claims that BT.2020 color space coverage is 97% and that unwanted blue light is reduced by 38%. This model also reaches a brightness of 10,000 nits, and provides support for Dolby Vision IQ and IMAX Enhanced as well as a 6.2.2 sound system. Details on price and availability of this TV are still pending.
