The Hisense UR9 is the company\u2019s flagship RGB MiniLED TV series for 2026, and it brings the benefits of RGB backlighting to real-world screen sizes, and prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The key difference between <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/ask-an-expert\/wtf\/rgb-miniled\/\">RGB<\/a> and regular <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/ask-an-expert\/wtf-mini-led\/\">mini-LED TVs<\/a> is that the former uses micro-sized red, green and blue LEDs, while the latter employs white or blue mini-LED modules to illuminate the set\u2019s LCD display. Both approaches can yield images with exceptional brightness, but RGB backlighting brings the added benefits of expanded BT.2020 and DCI-P3 color space coverage, both of which are important factors to consider for viewing 4K\/high dynamic range sources.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\"  itemprop=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_9277.jpg\" alt=\"2026 Hisense UR9 65-inch TV pedestal stand\" class=\"wp-image-326667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_9277.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_9277-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_9277-600x337.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Hisense UR9&#8217;s aluminum pedestal stand has an adjustable height option to clear space for a soundbar.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-related-reviews\">Related Reviews:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/reviews\/samsung-r95h\/\">Samsung R95H Micro RGB TV Review: The RGB LED Difference<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/ask-an-expert\/samsung-r95h-vs-sony-bravia-7-ii\/\">Samsung R95H Vs Sony Bravia 7 II: Which RGB Lit LED\/LCD TV Should You Buy?<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-it\">What is it?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The UR9 is one of two new Hisense RGB MiniLED TV series for 2026, with the other being the <a href=\"https:\/\/bestbuycreators.7tiv.net\/L0rbvL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">mid-range UR8 series<\/a>. UR9 TVs are available in 65-, 75-, 85-, and 100-inch screen sizes. Launch prices for the series range from <a href=\"https:\/\/bestbuycreators.7tiv.net\/KB9n1y\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">$2,199.99 to $9,999.99<\/a>, but the 65-inch model I received for testing was selling for $1,699.99 during my review. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TV makers like to give fancy names to the processors used in their sets, and in the UR9\u2019s case it\u2019s the Hi-View AI Engine RGB processor. Along with carrying out basic picture performance chores such as upscaling and noise reduction, this also makes possible a range of AI enhancements like an Intelligent Scene mode that adapts picture settings based on the content being viewed and Personalized Customization, which generates a custom picture mode based on your viewing preferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The UR9\u2019s other picture quality-related features include an Obsidian Panel advanced low-reflection surface to reduce screen glare and Dolby Vision IQ, HDR10+ Adaptive and Filmmaker Mode picture presets. After our review was published, Hisense delivered a free over the air software update adding Dolby Vision 2 HDR. See our note at the bottom of this review about that.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\"  itemprop=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_9280.jpg\" alt=\"2026 Hisense UR9 65-inch TV with Google Gemini\" class=\"wp-image-326668\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_9280.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_9280-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_9280-600x337.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The UR9&#8217;s Google TV platform features the Gemini AI assistant.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>New Hisense TVs for 2026 feature the Google TV smart platform enhanced with the Gemini AI assistant. Google TV has an easy to navigate interface, and it can provide program suggestions based on your Google search history. Some of these can be spot-on, while others strangely miss by a mile (<em>Leave it to Beaver<\/em> \u2013 are you serious, Google?). Gemini AI gets its own separate tab in Google TV, and it allows you to ask questions in a conversational context using the TV\u2019s built-in far-field mic, or, if you don\u2019t want your TV listening in on you full-time, on-demand using the one built into the remote control. For one example of what you can do with Gemini on Google TV, I asked it to create a list of Christopher Nolan films ranked by critical reception (unsurprisingly, <em>The Odyssey<\/em> and <em>Oppenheimer <\/em>were at the top of the list) and then after asked for the list to be filtered to sci-fi titles only. Gemini can also be used to generate screensavers via suggested prompts or ones that you come up with on your own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" data-id=\"326670\"  itemprop=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_9282.jpg\" alt=\"2026 Hisense UR9 Google TV Live TV guide\" class=\"wp-image-326670\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_9282.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_9282-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_9282-600x337.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Google TV  Live TV guide<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" data-id=\"326669\"  itemprop=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_9284.jpg\" alt=\"2026 Hisense UR9 Broadcast TV Guide\" class=\"wp-image-326669\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_9284.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_9284-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_9284-600x337.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The UR9&#8217;s broadcast TV-only guide<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Hisense UR9 series TVs feature a built-in ATSC 3.0 tuner to receive local NextgenTV broadcasts. These can be accessed by pressing the Live tab in the TV\u2019s main interface, where they will show up grouped in the Tuner section of the Google TV Freeplay grid guide. For a more streamlined experience minus Freeplay free streaming channels, you can also access a broadcast channel-only grid guide by pressing a button with a TV icon on the remote control with the tuner input active.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The UR9\u2019s gaming features include a native 180Hz refresh rate supported over three HDMI 2.1 ports. It also supports FreeSync Premium Pro VRR, ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode), Dolby Vision Gaming and it provides a Game Menu screen overlay that lets you quickly access gaming-related picture adjustments. With the UR9 in its Game picture preset, I measured input lag using a Bodnar 4K meter at 12ms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" data-id=\"326671\"  itemprop=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_9273.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_9273\" class=\"wp-image-326671\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_9273.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_9273-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_9273-600x337.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The UR9 features three HDMI 2.1 ports&#8230;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" data-id=\"326672\"  itemprop=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_9275.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_9275\" class=\"wp-image-326672\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_9275.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_9275-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_9275-600x337.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">and a DisplayPort-over-USB-C input<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While the UR9 has a relatively slim \u215c-inch bezel, the TV\u2019s panel is thicker than average at 1.75 inches deep. That may have to do with the set\u2019s RGB backlight, but it also has an 80W, 4.1.2-channel speaker system tuned by French audio manufacturer Devialet that provides powerful and relatively immersive sound for a TV and supports both Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. An aluminum pedestal stand provides sturdy support for the TV and has an adjustable height option that elevates the display to a 1.3-inch height \u2013 enough to clear space for a typical soundbar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Along with its trio of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/articles\/hdmi-2-1-explained\/\">HDMI 2.1<\/a> ports and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/news\/nextgen-tv-expands-free-over-the-air\/\">ATSC 3.0<\/a> tuner input, the UR9 features an optical digital audio output, two USB inputs and an Ethernet port.

Prior to that, I disabled the TV\u2019s Automatic Light Sensor, a setting located in the Intelligent Settings section of the Display &amp; Sound menu that adapts picture brightness based on ambient lighting conditions. All measurements were otherwise made using the default settings in the UR9\u2019s Filmmaker Mode and Standard picture presets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Peak HDR brightness measured on a white 10% window pattern in Filmmaker Mode was 3,345 nits and 1,137 nits on a 100% (fullscreen) white pattern. In Standard mode, the results on the same tests were 3,206 nits and 1,136 nits, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\"  itemprop=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_9293.jpg\" alt=\"2026 Hisense UR9 4K TV BT.2020\" class=\"wp-image-326674\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_9293.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_9293-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_9293-600x337.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The UR9 has impressive BT.2020 color gamut coverage.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Those are impressive brightness numbers, particularly for fullscreen, and the UR9\u2019s standard dynamic range (SDR) peak brightness results were equally good, measuring 1,698 nits on a 10% pattern and 948 nits on a fullscreen pattern in Standard Mode. For the sake of comparison, when I tested the more expensive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/reviews\/samsung-r95h\/\">Samsung R95H Micro RGB TV<\/a>, peak HDR brightness topped out at 2,039 nits on a 10% window and 642 nits fullscreen (in Filmmaker mode), and peak SDR brightness was 726 and 583 nits, respectively, on the same tests with the TV in Standard mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Hisense UR9\u2019s color gamut coverage in Filmmaker Mode measured 91.5% for BT.2020 and 99.4% for DCI-P3 \u2013 both impressive results. Sticking with the Samsung R95H for a comparison, that model topped the Hisense when it came to BT.2020 color gamut coverage, measuring 93.3%, and its P3 coverage clocked in at 147.9%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other measurements, the UR9\u2019s Delta-E (the margin of error between the test pattern source and what\u2019s displayed on-screen) in Filmmaker Mode averaged 2.7 for grayscale and 1.5 for color. Both those results are lower than the 3.0 Delta-E considered to be the threshold for what\u2019s indistinguishable from perfect to the human eye, and they represent a big improvement on earlier generations of Hisense mini-LED TVs, which tended to have higher Delta-E results out of the box.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\"  itemprop=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_9288.jpg\" alt=\"2026 Hisense UR9 Google Gemini Voice Prompts\" class=\"wp-image-326675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_9288.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_9288-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_9288-600x337.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Gemini AI assistant lets you generate screensavers using voice prompts.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Just because a TV with an RGB backlight measures well doesn\u2019t necessarily mean it\u2019s going to excel with content outside of test patterns. Some models are definitely better than others at using processing to retain color richness and avoid color crosstalk when displaying complex images \u2013 something Sony went to great lengths to demonstrate in its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/products\/sony-bravia-7-9-ii\/\">Sony Bravia 9 II True RGB TV<\/a> launch. Even so, I was impressed at how punchy and clean colors looked when watching a 4K Blu-ray of <em>Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse<\/em> (2018). This animated film has a particularly trippy color palette, and the Hisense rendered it every bit as well as the other RGB-backlit TVs I\u2019ve tested in 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Checking out test patterns and demonstration clips from the <em>Spears &amp; Munsil Ultra HD Benchmark<\/em> disc, the Hisense UR9 continued to display strong color saturation and very limited blooming on test images with animals and objects against solid black backgrounds. HDR tone mapping was also very good, with the UR9 showing only a limited degree of highlight detail loss when displaying content mastered at 10,000 nits brightness. I did note a level of black crush in aerial nighttime shots of urban buildings that I hadn\u2019t noticed on the Samsung R95H Micro RGB and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/reviews\/sony-bravia-7-ii\/\">Sony Bravia 7 II True RGB<\/a> TVs when I tested them. Also, the UR9\u2019s color saturation and contrast faded when viewing at off-center seats \u2013 a limitation the Samsung R95H didn&#8217;t suffer from. Otherwise, the Hisense sailed through most of the TV torture tests contained on the Spears &amp; Munsil<em> <\/em>disc<em>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\"  itemprop=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_9291.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_9291\" class=\"wp-image-326676\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_9291.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_9291-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_9291-600x337.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Watching a scene from the James Bond movie <em>No Time to Die<\/em> on 4K Blu-ray where Bond walks across a hillside cemetery revealed a degree of judder and motion blur, but I was able to reduce both by setting the judder and blur sliders to the +2 setting in the TV\u2019s Custom motion menu. I typically use this disc to also test a TV\u2019s built-in speakers, and the Hisense\u2019s Devialet-tuned audio system delivered good dialogue clarity and decent bass, along with a fair degree of Atmos immersion in the movie\u2019s motorcycle and car chase scenes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>House of the Dragon<\/em> on HBO Max has finally found its footing in season 3, and I\u2019ve regularly tuned in to watch every episode as it\u2019s been released. Episode 5, <em>Unbowed and Unbent<\/em>, is more low-key and expositional than some of the earlier episodes, with plenty of conversations held in the gloomy chambers of dark castles. Given the UR9\u2019s performance on the aerial nighttime shots from the Spears &amp; Munsil demonstration reel, I wasn\u2019t sure how well it would hold up here, but it ended up doing a good job of fleshing out shadow detail in these scenes, and it also performed nicely with reference \u201cdark\u201d movies I watched such as <em>Alien: Romulus<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\"  itemprop=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_9301.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_9301\" class=\"wp-image-326677\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_9301.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_9301-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_9301-600x337.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>UPDATE<\/strong>: (September, 2026): this month our review sample of the UR9 got its promised free software update to add Dolby Vision 2. I must say I was more impressed than I had expected, with the updated offering a noticeable improvement on existing 4K\/Dolby Vision content. And with the update, the UR9 is ready for the future when studios and content creators begin to take advantage of its rich feature set. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/articles\/dolby-vision-2-first-test-2026\/\">Read more about my thoughts on the Hisense Dolby Vision 2 update<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-bottom-line\">The Bottom Line<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At its discounted price of $1,699 for the 65-inch model, the Hisense UR9 is a solid RGB MiniLED TV value. However, its MSRP is $2,199, making it a bit less competitive. Its feature set and overall performance lags behind RGB TV competitors such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/reviews\/samsung-r95h\/\">Samsung R95H<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/reviews\/sony-bravia-9-ii-true-rgb-tv\/\">Sony BRAVIA 9 II<\/a>, but when you consider it costs substantially less than both of those models &#8211; even at full MSRP &#8211; it becomes a lot easier to overlook any shortcomings. Also, the Hisense UR9 now supports Dolby Vision 2, which is something we cannot say about either the Sony or Samsung flagship TVs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, the UR9 still faces strong competition in the form of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/reviews\/tcl-qm8l-tv-2026\/\">TCL QM8L<\/a>, an SQD (Super Quantum Dot) mini-LED TV that matches the Hisense\u2019s feature set, Gemini AI included, and offers great performance for the money. The 65-inch QM8L is currently selling for <a href=\"https:\/\/bestbuycreators.7tiv.net\/JkQE3r\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">$1,499<\/a>, and is an astonishing value at that price. Also, TCL has announced that the QM8L will receive an update to support Dolby Vision 2, though exact timing has not yet been announced. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"507\"  itemprop=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_9276-2.jpg\" alt=\"2026 Hisense UR9 TV Blacklit Remote Control\" class=\"wp-image-326682\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_9276-2.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_9276-2-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_9276-2-600x337.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Hisense&#8217;s backlit remote control features a built-in mic and an input select button.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s also the complication of the <a href=\"https:\/\/bestbuycreators.7tiv.net\/oNbEQ9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">Hisense U8QG<\/a>, a top 2025 mini-LED TV from the company that\u2019s still available, with the 65-inch model priced in the $1,000-$1,200 range. I found the U8QG to be excellent when I tested it, and outside of its BT.2020 color gamut coverage, it doesn\u2019t trail the new UR9 by that much. However, the 2025 model does not have &#8211; and will not get &#8211; Dolby Vision 2, making it less future-proof than the UR9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Hisense UR9 offers strong overall value, but even high-value TVs face serious competition in 2026. Being first to market with Dolby Vision 2 does give it an edge over most of the competition, though, so you don&#8217;t have to worry about your TV becoming obsolete overnight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pros\">Pros:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>High brightness<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Vibrant, accurate color<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Great value for an RGB mini-LED TV<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Native 180Hz Refresh Rate<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>ATSC 3.0 tuner<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Devialet-tuned built-in audio with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X support<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adjustable height stand<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Google TV with Gemini AI assistant<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Low-reflection screen<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>First TV in North America with Dolby Vision 2 dynamic HDR (added September, 2026 in free software update)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cons\">Cons:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Poor off-axis picture uniformity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Just average motion handling<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Comparatively thick panel design<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Only three HDMI 2.1 inputs when competition typically provides four<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-our-ratings\">Our Ratings:<\/h3>\n\n\n<p><span class=\"score\">&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;<span style=\"width:80%\">&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;<\/span><\/span> Picture Quality<\/p>\n\n\n<p><span class=\"score\">&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;<span style=\"width:80%\">&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;<\/span><\/span> Design<\/p>\n\n\n<p><span class=\"score\">&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;<span style=\"width:80%\">&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;<\/span><\/span> Usability<\/p>\n\n\n<p><span class=\"score\">&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;<span style=\"width:80%\">&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;<\/span><\/span> Sound Quality<\/p>\n\n\n<p><span class=\"score\">&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;<span style=\"width:80%\">&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;<\/span><\/span> Features<\/p>\n\n\n<p><span class=\"score\">&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;<span style=\"width:90%\">&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;<\/span><\/span> Value<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-where-to-buy\">Where to Buy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>65-inch &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/bestbuycreators.7tiv.net\/KB9n1y\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">$2,199 at Best Buy<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>75-inch &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/bestbuycreators.7tiv.net\/rEb6Zy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">$3,299 at Best Buy<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>85-inch &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/bestbuycreators.7tiv.net\/rEb6Zy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">$4,499 at <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/bestbuycreators.7tiv.net\/enBV9X\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">Best<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/bestbuycreators.7tiv.net\/rEb6Zy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\"> Buy<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>100-inch &#8211; $9,999 (Unavailable)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-related-reading\">Related Reading:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/news\/2026-tv-shootout-results\/\">Best OLED TV And RGB LCD TV Revealed At The 2026 TV Shootout<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/articles\/tv-buying-guide\/\">Buying A New TV: Everything You Need To Know (Updated For 2026)<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecoustics.com\/products\/sony-bravia-7-9-ii\/\">Worth The Wait?
