00:00Okay guys, I feel like I almost have to apologize to you because I'm throwing yet another huge TV your
00:05way with yet another new technology name.
00:08Behind me is Hisense's RGBY Micro LED.
00:13And this is easily Hisense's biggest flex of CES 2026, and I mean that pretty literally, it's 163 inches.
00:22If you guys have been following along with our Tom's Guide to CES 2026 coverage, you've already heard me talk
00:28a lot about micro RGB TVs.
00:32This is not that, this is actual micro LED.
00:35And I promise you, RGB Micro LED is the last TV acronym I'm throwing at you as part of Tom's
00:42Guide to CES.
00:43Let's get into the video.
01:11Let's go.
01:14Self-lit pixels, perfect black levels, insanely high brightness, and zero burning concerns.
01:19But Hisense didn't stop there.
01:21This TV is different because it adds a fourth color instead of just red, green, and blue combining for the
01:28self-emissive pixels.
01:30This is RGBY.
01:32That Y is yellow, built directly into the micro LED structure.
01:36Hisense found that RGB displays are struggling with reproducing warm tones, ambers, golds, firelight, skin tones.
01:43So it looked to fill in that gap with the hardware, not just through processing.
01:48Otherwise, Hisense says this panel can hit 100% of the BT 2020 color gamut, which is being thrown around
01:55a lot right now.
01:56It's not like content is currently mastered to BT 2020.
01:59And honestly, me and the whole TG Video team are still trying to figure out if that's even possible, and
02:04we're leaning towards it's not.
02:05But on a screen this size, we're talking 33 million subpixels.
02:10With all those pixels, maintaining color and brightness uniformity is no small feat.
02:15So yeah, it's normal to be feeling a little skeptical.
02:17But I have got to tell you, even up close, this thing is looking shockingly consistent.
02:23Also, let's talk about design for a second.
02:25Again, 163-inch wall of light, and yet it's only 32 millimeters thick with a zero-gap wall mount.
02:32It's massive, but it doesn't feel clunky.
02:34It feels very premium.
02:35So I really commend Hisense for finding its own way to stand out and possibly even becoming the premier leader
02:41in RGBY,
02:42as it will potentially trickle down to mini-LED in future years.
02:46I think you've probably figured out by this point in the video that the Hisense RGBY micro-LED TV is
02:53not a TV you're actually going to be able to buy.
02:56But Hisense isn't pretending it is.
02:58This is a statement about how micro-LED technology is innovating.
03:02And it's a reminder that Hisense is absolutely not sitting quietly while the big players battle it out.
03:08We will have a much bigger breakdown about all the TV technologies coming from Hisense when we get back from
03:14CES.
03:15This has been Tom's Guide to CES 2026.
03:18I will catch you in the next one.
