Hisense bets on ULED technology and Android TV for 2019

Hisense continues to grow and surprise in the television market. The Chinese manufacturer has presented its new proposals for this year at CES 2019. They continue to bet on ULED technology and now debut with Android TV and Roku TV as operating systems . The next Hisense Smart TVs with 4K resolution will thus seek to compete with QLED and OLED panels from Samsung, LG and other manufacturers.

According to a recent study, Hisense has been the fastest growing manufacturer of the top 6 in the United States . It recently introduced the Hisense Dual Color Laser TV, a new concept of "television" that surprised the industry. Specifically, it is an ultra-short-throw projector with a blue and red laser light source that allows activating a wide range of color whose palette is wider and more precise. Thus, a 100-inch image is achieved, with 4K resolution and HDR in a few centimeters. But in addition to this device, aimed at a more premium market, the company will continue to improve its range of televisions.

Hisense U9F and H9F

This new model uses Quantum Dot technology and reaches a maximum brightness of 2,200 nits . It has more than 1,000 local dimming zones for better contrast and now supports Dolby Vision HDR .

ULED technology incorporates a Hi-View chip and a series of AI-based image quality algorithms. It also improves the viewing experience with automatic recognition of how to improve color, contrast, resolution, and brightness. Its borderless design also stands out, giving all the prominence to the panel.
