In 2025, Hisense is launching more 100-inch TVs and even a 116-inch model. New features include RGB miniLED, more HDMI 2.1 ports, and even USB-C for the first time.
The Chinese company has grown to one of the largest TV makers around and it aims to cement its position by doubling down on miniLED and large screen sizes.
This year's line-in includes models such as U7Q, U8Q and UXQ – Q for 2025. These will be available across regions whereas the cheaper models will vary between North America, Europa and other regions. Hisense has a single A85Q OLED model, too, but it will not be widely available. The new TVs replace last year's U*N ranges.
New chip, more HDMI 2.1 ports
Hisense is the first TV brand to transition from the MediaTek Pentonic 700 to the Pentonic 800 chip, finally enabling more than two HDMI 2.1 ports.
Hisense has opted for an interesting solution that may challenge HDMI's dominance. The U8Q and UXQ feature three HDMI 2.1 ports supporting up to 4K 165Hz. Instead of a fourth HDMI 2.1, Hisense has integrated a USB-C port with embedded DisplayPort – making it easy to connect a PC or future media players with USB-C.
We have never before seen USB-C in a TV, so we will be keeping a close eye on whether it becomes a trend.
Hisense U8Q
Hisense U8Q is a highlight
One of this year's flagship models is the U8Q, positioned to compete directly with TCL's miniLED and Samsung's Neo QLED.
U8Q will be available in sizes from 55 to 100 inches, with up to 6144 miniLED dimming zones. The LCD panel supports 165Hz at 4K and up to 288Hz at 1080p. It supports HDR10+, Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos and DTS:X.
While the high-end models run Google TV in North America, European countries typically get Hisense's own Vidaa platform. In the US, Hisense also has a line-up of FireTV models.
Hisense will launch even more large-sized TVs this year, with up to 100-inch models in some European countries. There will also be a 98-inch model as part of the E7Q range.
First with RGB miniLED
At CES 2025 in January, Hisense, TCL, Sony and Samsung all showcased LCD TVs with RGB miniLED backlights. These use red, green and blue (RGB) miniLEDs instead of just blue LED; a way to expand the color gamut and improve energy efficiency.
Hisense says that the 116-inch UXQ will be its first model with RGB miniLED – and possibly the first on the market. It will launch later this year. In Europe, it is expected to be priced around 30000 Euro.
The first of Hisense's 2025 TVs are rolling out now across regions, with wider availability expected over the summer. Click the model names in the table below for more details in the TV database.
