Hisense hub: everything you need to know about Hisense TVs 2026

Hisense in a few words

Hisense is a Chinese group founded in 1969, now among the very largest TV manufacturers in the world by volume. The brand even claims the number one global position for TVs of 100 inches and above. Its approach to picture can be summed up in one sentence: to deliver as much brightness and as many inches as possible for your budget.

In practice, Hisense does not make OLED for Europe in 2026. The entire range relies on backlit LCD screens: plain LED for the bedroom, Mini LED Mini LED (thousands of tiny LEDs spread behind the screen) for the living room, and this year's novelty, the RGB MiniLED, where separate red, green and blue LEDs light the image for purer colours. Hisense presents this technology as its own invention and offers it from 55 inches.

Strengths and limitations: our candid view

The strengths

Good to know

Limitations

  • No OLED: blacks are less deep in a dark room
  • Factory picture settings are often too ‘vivid': adjust them
  • VIDAA has fewer apps than Google TV
  • Belgian apps not guaranteed (Pickx absent)
  • Possible halo around subtitles on a black background
  • The ‘180 Hz' only benefits PCs, not consoles

What's new for 2026

  • RGB MiniLED moves down the range : reserved in 2025 for a giant 116-inch screen, it now arrives with the UR9S and UR8S series from 55 inches. The UR8S replaces the former U8 series.
  • Dolby Vision 2 : Hisense is the first manufacturer to offer it, via update since August 2026, on models fitted with the most powerful processor (UR9S, UR8S, U7S Pro).
  • More hertz : 180 Hz on RGB MiniLED, 165 Hz on the U7S Pro, 144 Hz on the U7SE.
  • ‘Tuned by Devialet' sound on 2026 Mini LED and RGB MiniLED models, including the U7SE.
  • New year letter : ‘S' for 2026, after ‘Q' in 2025 and ‘N' in 2024. A 55U7S Pro is therefore a 2026 model, and a 100U7Q a 2025 model.

The technologies are explained simply in our page on Hisense technologies.

VIDAA, the Smart TV system in brief

The VIDAA home screen: simple, with the major streaming apps

In Europe, Hisense TVs run VIDAA, the in-house system. It is fast, clear and uncluttered: a good choice for people who want a simple TV. Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, YouTube and Apple TV are all there, as isAirPlay 2 to send an iPhone's screen to the TV, plus voice control.

The downside: the app catalogue is smaller than on Google TV. For Belgium, Pickx (Proximus), Telenet TV, VOO and Orange do not have an app on VIDAA. Auvio is not listed by RTBF for VIDAA, and the availability of VRT MAX and Play has not been confirmed by an official page. If you watch TV through your provider's box, there's no problem. If you want to watch everything without a box, let's check together in the app store of the TV on display. The VIDAA settings and tips are detailed in our page on how to set up your Hisense properly.

Warranty and updates

  • Warranty : 2 years' statutory guarantee in Belgium on any new TV. During these 2 years, it is up to the seller to prove that the fault did not exist at the time of purchase.
  • Updates : Hisense promises up to 8 years of VIDAA updates for models from 2025 onwards. The model-by-model details have not been published.
  • Trade-in of your old TV : the Recupel eco-contribution is included in the price, and your old appliance is taken back when you buy a new one.

All other questions (burn-in, soundbars, model names) are covered in our Hisense FAQ.

C
Clément's tip

At Hisense, the gap between two neighbouring series is often bigger than the price gap. Between a U7SE and a U7S Pro, the difference in brightness and reflections jumps out in a bright living room. Come and compare them side by side in store before deciding.

Frequently asked questions

Is Hisense a good TV brand?

Yes. Hisense is one of the world's largest TV manufacturers and offers an excellent balance of brightness, size and price. Its drawbacks: the factory picture needs adjusting (Filmmaker mode recommended) and the VIDAA app catalogue is smaller than Google TV's.

Does Hisense make OLED TVs in 2026?

No, not in the 2026 European range. Hisense focuses on Mini LED and RGB MiniLED, which are very bright and carry no risk of burn-in. For an OLED, look at LG, Samsung, Sony or Philips instead.

What operating system do Hisense TVs use?

In Europe, it's VIDAA, Hisense's own system: fast and simple, with Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, YouTube and AirPlay 2. It is not Google TV. Hisense promises up to 8 years of updates on models from 2025 onwards.

Are the Auvio and VRT MAX apps available on Hisense?

This is not confirmed by an official page. Auvio is not listed by RTBF for VIDAA, and Pickx has no app on VIDAA. Ask us to check in the app store of the TV on display before you buy.

What warranty does a Hisense TV come with?

As with any new TV bought in Belgium, you get 2 years' statutory guarantee. During those 2 years, it is up to the seller to prove that a fault did not exist at the time of purchase.

Hisense or TCL?

Two Chinese brands very close in price and brightness. Hisense stands out with VIDAA, Devialet sound and Dolby Vision 2; TCL with Google TV and its very wide choice of apps. If Belgian apps matter to you, let's talk it through together.
