The Hisense UR9 is the sweet spot for experiencing the vibrancy of RGB technology at home for a practical price. It'd be the perfect chameleon screen for households that do an even amount of watching or gaming during the day and at night. The UR9's exceptional brightness would particularly shine when watching sports or watching movies in HDR.

Speaking of gaming, DisplayPort makes a rare appearance on the ultra-thin side of the UR9. This is easily the most premium TV that can hit a 180Hz refresh rate, speaking directly to PC gamers who are strict about their graphics.

RGB TVs were the talk of CES 2026, considering nearly every big TV brand unveiled at least one model of their own. The more premium of Hisense's RGB options, the UR9, measures just 1.8 inches in every size but the 100-inch, which is 1.7 inches thick. This makes the UR9 thinner and more affordable than Samsung, LG, and Sony's RGB models.

The Hisense UR9 has been pulling overwhelmingly positive reviews since its release in April 2026. It's hard to find a situation where the picture doesn't look phenomenal. Colors are rich yet hyper-realistic, and black levels are nearly as deep as what you'd expect from an OLED TV. Depending on the size, the UR9 can clock peak brightness up to 5,000 nits.

As a refresher, the difference between RGB TVs and the typical LED or QLED TV lies in the backlight. RGB TVs draw light directly from thousands of tiny red, green, and blue LEDs, compared to the traditional method of reflecting white or blue LEDs through an LCD panel. RGB TVs produce more accurate, more saturated colors with extremely precise control across the screen, which also contributes to a massive boost in contrast and brightness.
