Hisense’s Mini-LED QLED TV shines in one big way, with its price casting a shadow

Electronic and home appliance producer Hisense announced the latest addition to its TV lineup: the Hisense U9N Mini-LED QLED TV. The company’s latest offering sits at the top of its ULED line of televisions and offers an “elevated viewing experience for those seeking state-of-the-art innovation and superior viewing quality,” according to its press release. Coming in at $2,999 for the 75-inch version and $3,999 for the 85-inch, it’s by no means a budget TV. It does have a lot to offer, though.

Hisense U9N Mini-LED QLED TV details

A large, premium TV offering

Hisense calls the U9N a “breakthrough in TV technology.” It offers the Hisense ultra-premium ULED X technology features to a wider audience and utilizes the company’s latest Hi-View Engine X processing technology for more picture quality control and motion accuracy. That means even fast-paced sports and video games will look smooth, and subtle color transitions in subjects like sunsets will be fluid.

The U9N offers a peak brightness of up to 5,000 nits with 5,3000 plus dimming zones and the ability to fine-tune a billion colors. It relies on QLED Quantum Dot Color technology, which is paired with Mini-LED, Dolby-Vision, and Dolby-Vision IQ for an excellent 4K experience.
