Size Matters: The 116-Inch Hisense UXS is a Home Cinema Beast
The Hisense UXS represents the pinnacle of home theater technology
When Hisense announced a 116-inch television, the tech world collectively gasped. Not just because of its sheer size, but because this isn't just a bigger TV. It's a revolutionary RGB-MiniLED display that challenges everything we thought we knew about home entertainment.
At approximately $35,000, the Hisense 116UXS sits comfortably in the luxury home theater market, competing directly with premium OLED and QLED displays. But unlike its competitors, this beast brings something entirely new to the table: RGB-MiniLED technology with over 20,000 dimming zones and a staggering 8,000 nits of peak brightness.
Professional Installation Required
A TV this size demands expert mounting. At 116 inches and nearly 53 pounds, professional installation isn't just recommended. It's essential for safety and optimal performance.

Traditional LED TVs use blue or white LEDs with color filters. RGB-MiniLED takes a completely different approach by using dedicated Red, Green, and Blue LEDs for each backlight unit. The result? Unprecedented color accuracy and brightness control.

Peak brightness that makes HDR content explode off the screen, even in bright rooms
20,000+ Zones
Local dimming zones provide pixel-level precision for deep blacks and bright highlights
110% BT.2020

90% Less Blue Light
RGB evo technology reduces harmful blue light emissions for healthier viewing
The RGB evo Advantage: Four-Color Innovation
The 116UXS takes things even further with RGB evo, a four-color MiniLED backlight that adds a Sky Blue-Cyan illuminant to the standard RGB array. This innovation delivers:
- Enhanced color clarity with more natural skin tones and vibrant landscapes
- Dramatic reduction in hazardous blue light by 80-90%
- Improved viewing angles with consistent color across the massive 116-inch screen
Anti-Reflection Pro Technology
Hisense's special coating integrated into the liquid crystal layer minimizes glare and reflections. This is crucial for a display this large. You can watch in any lighting condition without annoying reflections ruining the experience.

How It Compares: Hisense vs. The Competition
At $35,000, the Hisense 116UXS competes in a rarefied space dominated by LG, Samsung, and Sony. Here's how it stacks up:
Key Competitive Advantages
Brightness Champion
At 8,000 nits peak brightness, the 116UXS dramatically outperforms OLED displays (which typically max out around 1,000-2,000 nits) and even most premium QLED models. For HDR content in bright rooms, nothing else comes close.
Value Proposition
Similar-sized displays from Samsung or LG can cost $50,000-$80,000. The Hisense delivers comparable (or superior) specs at a significant discount, making luxury home theater more accessible.
Color Technology Innovation
The RGB evo four-color backlight with Sky Blue-Cyan illuminant is unique to Hisense. This innovation provides better color accuracy than traditional RGB-MiniLED while reducing blue light exposure, a health benefit competitors can't match.
Gaming Performance
165Hz native refresh rate puts it ahead of most TVs this size. Most large-format displays are limited to 60Hz or 120Hz, making the 116UXS a better choice for serious gamers.
Where OLED Still Wins
To be fair, OLED technology still has advantages in some areas:
- Perfect blacks: OLED's pixel-level control creates true blacks by turning off pixels completely
- Viewing angles: OLED maintains color accuracy at extreme angles better than LED-based displays
- No blooming: OLED doesn't suffer from the slight halo effect that can appear around bright objects on LED displays
However, with 20,000+ dimming zones, the 116UXS minimizes blooming to near-imperceptibility. And the sheer brightness advantage makes it superior for watching in anything other than a pitch-black room.
The Bottom Line
If you want the absolute largest, brightest, most advanced TV available, and you have the wall space and budget for it, the Hisense 116UXS is unmatched. It's a legitimate home cinema replacement that brings commercial theater quality to your living room.
