Last year, Hisense pioneered the first RGB Mini-LED TV with its 116UX model. Granted it was only available as a massive 116" screen that retailed for $20,000. In 2026, Hisense released its second generation RGB Mini-LED tech at a much more affordable price point with its UR-series lineup. Ahead of Black Friday, you can get it for even less. Best Buy has just discounted the 65" Hisense UR8 RGB Mini-LED TV from $2,000 all the way down to $1,099.99 with free shipping.
The Hisense UR8 RGB Mini-LED TV Gives OLED a Run for Its Money
RGB Mini-LED is essentially the next generation evolution of Mini-LED technology. Traditional mini-LED TVs consist of an array of blue LED that are passed through RGB filters to produced the desired color. RGB Mini-LED TVs use red, green, and blue LEDs instead of just blue, which means the pixels no longer need filters to produce the desired color. The result is more accurate color reproduction, less blooming and, most importantly, a wider color gamut. In fact, the color gamut of RGB Mini-LED surpasses that of OLEDs, since current-generation OLEDs also use color filters combined with blue OLEDs. How does that translate in the real world? It means that you see richer, more accurate colors, smoother gradients and less banding than even OLEDs, especially in 4K HDR content.
RGB Mini-LED TVs have several other features that out-class standard Mini-LEDs. They're brighter (far brighter than OLED TVs), making them perfect for daytime watching in bright rooms with little light control. They offer much better viewing angles, which means everyone you're hosting will enjoy the game wherever they're positioned around the TV. Gamers will benefit from this TV as well. The Hisense UR8 boasts a 180Hz native refresh rate, the highest I've ever seen for a TV, with HDMI 2.1 inputs that will pair seamlessly with a PlayStation 5 console for seamlessly running games in 4K.
