Hisense unveils its 2026 TV lineup, featuring the UR9 RGB series with a standout USB-C port that delivers full DisplayPort functionality. This rare addition supports 4K resolution at up to 180Hz, catering to PC enthusiasts who favor DisplayPort outputs from graphics cards.
A Fresh Take on TV Connectivity
While HDMI ports dominate TV inputs, DisplayPort remains the go-to for high-performance PC setups. The UR9 compensates for its three HDMI 2.1 ports by including this DisplayPort-capable USB-C connection, enabling a fourth high-refresh-rate input at 4K 170Hz or 180Hz depending on screen size.
RGB Mini-LED for Superior Color
The UR9 employs RGB-backlit mini-LED technology, which Hisense claims exceeds 100% of the BT.2020 color space. Pantone validation adds credibility, though independent tests of prior models like the UX116 reached 92.6% BT.2020—still far surpassing standard mini-LED TVs at 75-78%. This setup uses red, green, and blue LEDs in the backlight for enhanced efficiency, wider gamut, and reduced blooming.
