The Hisense 136MX is a 136-inch MicroLED TV

 Hisense

Hisense has introduced new 4K TVs over 115 inches at CES -- a 136-inch MicroLED, and a 116-inch LCD with RGB local dimming.

Firstly, the 136MX MicroLED is a direct-view 4K display, akin to OLED, and uses LEDs for every one of its pixels. To improve performance in lit rooms, the screen uses black nanocrystals to reduce reflectivity. Proponents of MicroLED say it is immune to burn-in, unlike OLED, but the downside is that it is also more expensive to produce.

The136MX features connectivity such as HDMI 2.1, Wi-Fi 6E and eARC, plus video features such as Dolby Vision IQ, HDR10 Plus, 120Hz VRR and FreeSync 2 Premium Pro.

Meanwhile, unlike traditional LCD TVs, which normally use a white backlight and colored pixels, the LCD-based 116UX uses an RGB backlight housed in an optical lens. The company says this technology leads to better colors -- with 95% of the BT.2020 color space -- and over a third less blue light transmission.   

Competitor TCL released a 115 inch miniLED TV -- the 115QM891G -- in 2024, while LG and Samsung have produced the more-expensive MicroLED TVs in previous years. 

Pricing and availability on the two Hisense models isn't available yet, but given the TCL 115 was $20,000, you can expect each of these TVs to cost (a lot) more than that.
