Okay guys, I feel like I almost have to apologize to you because I'm throwing yet another huge TV
0:05
your way with yet another new technology name. Behind me is Hisense's RGBY Micro LED
0:14
And this is easily Hisense's biggest flex of CES 2026 and I mean that pretty literally
0:20
it's 163 inches. If you guys have been following along with our Tom's Guide to CES 2026 coverage
0:27
you've already heard me talk a lot about micro RGB TVs. This is not that. This is actual micro LED
0:35
And I promise you RGB micro LED is the last TV acronym I'm throwing at you as part of Tom's Guide to CES
0:42
Let's get into the video. This is the Hisense 163MX, a 163 inch micro LED TV
0:54
TV and easily one of the most jaw-dropping displays I've seen on the CES floor this year
0:59
And maybe you even remember we exclusively revealed the first iteration of it here on
1:04
the channel last CES. You guys really liked that video, so be sure to show this one some love
1:09
Quick micro LED reminders. This is checking every dream TV box. Self-lit pixels, perfect black levels
1:16
insanely high brightness, and zero burning concerns. But Hisense didn't stop there
1:21
This TV is different because it adds a fourth color. Instead of just red, green, and blue
1:27
combining for the self-emissive pixels, this is RGB Y. That Y is yellow, built directly into the micro-LED structure
1:36
Hisense found that RGB displays are struggling with reproducing warm tones, ambers, golds, firelight, skin tones
1:43
so it looked to fill in that gap with the hardware not just through processing Otherwise Hisense says this panel can hit 100 of the BT 2020 color gamut which is being thrown around a lot right now It not like
1:56
content is currently mastered to BT 2020, and honestly, me and the whole TG Video team are still
2:01
trying to figure out if that's even possible, and we're leaning towards it's not. But on a screen
2:06
this size, we're talking 33 million subpixels. With all those pixels, maintaining color and
2:12
brightness uniformity is no small feat. So yeah, it's normal to be feeling a little skeptical
2:17
but I have got to tell you, even up close, this thing is looking shockingly consistent
2:23
Also, let's talk about design for a second. Again, 163-inch wall of light, and yet it's only 32
2:29
millimeters thick with a zero-gap wall mount. It's massive, but it doesn't feel clunky. It feels very
2:35
premium, so I really commend Hisense for finding its own way to stand out and possibly even becoming
2:40
the premier leader in RGBY as it will potentially trickle down to mini-LED in future years
2:47
I think you've probably figured out by this point in the video that the Hisense RGBY micro-LED TV
2:53
is not a TV you're actually going to be able to buy, but Hisense isn't pretending it is
2:58
This is a statement about how micro-LED technology is innovating. And it's a reminder that Hisense is absolutely not sitting quietly while the big players battle it out
3:08
We will have a much bigger breakdown about all the TV technologies coming from Hisense when we get back from CES
3:15
This has been Tom's Guide to CES 2026. I will catch you in the next one
