he Hisense 116UXH 116-inch 4K RGB Mini-LED Smart TV is a flagship-level television built for an extremely large, cinema-style viewing experience. Its standout feature is the combination of a 116-inch 4K display and RGB Mini-LED backlighting, rather than conventional LED or standard QLED technology. Hisense describes the 116UX as one of its most advanced RGB-MiniLED displays, with peak brightness reaching up to 8,000 nits and highly precise RGB local dimming.
116-Inch 4K Ultra HD Display
The TV has a 116-inch diagonal screen with a 3840 × 2160 4K UHD resolution. At this size, the screen is particularly suited to large living rooms, entertainment spaces and dedicated home theatres.
The display uses a 16:9 aspect ratio and supports 4K upscaling, allowing lower-resolution content to be processed to look sharper on the enormous screen.
RGB Mini-LED Technology
The major advantage of the 116UX is its RGB Mini-LED backlight. Instead of relying on a conventional white LED backlight, RGB Mini-LED uses red, green and blue light sources to provide much more precise control over colour and brightness.
The TV features RGB local dimming with 3,584 zones, helping control different areas of the screen independently. This can produce deeper blacks, brighter highlights and better contrast while reducing unwanted blooming around bright objects.
Exceptional Brightness
One of the most impressive specifications is its peak brightness of up to 8,000 nits. Hisense says the 116UX can achieve this level through its RGB-MiniLED technology and advanced local-dimming system.
This is particularly useful for HDR content because bright highlights—such as sunlight, headlights, explosions and reflections—can appear much more intense while the TV maintains detailed darker areas.
Wide Colour Range
The RGB backlight is designed to produce a very wide colour gamut. Hisense highlights coverage approaching the BT.2020 colour space, while Kenyan retailer specifications quote approximately 95% BT.2020 coverage.
This gives the television the ability to reproduce highly saturated colours while maintaining impressive colour gradation.
165Hz Refresh Rate
The 116UX is also an excellent option for gaming and fast-moving content. It has a native 165Hz refresh rate and supports variable refresh rates from approximately 48Hz to 165Hz.
Gaming features include:
165Hz Game Mode Ultra
VRR
ALLM
AMD FreeSync Premium Pro
HDMI 2.1
Enhanced Game Bar
4K gaming at up to 165Hz on supported HDMI 2.1 connections
These features can provide smoother gameplay with reduced screen tearing and lower input latency.
HDR & Cinema Features
The TV supports an extensive range of HDR formats, including:
Dolby Vision
Dolby Vision IQ
Dolby Gaming
HDR10
HDR10+
HDR10+ Adaptive
HDR10+ Gaming
HLG
It also supports IMAX Enhanced and Filmmaker Mode.
For movie enthusiasts, Filmmaker Mode is useful because it reduces processing designed to make movies look artificially smooth or overly vivid, helping preserve the intended cinematic presentation.
Hi-View AI Engine X
Hisense equips the 116UX with its Hi-View AI Engine X, which processes picture and sound in real time. The processor is designed to optimize colour, contrast, sharpness, motion and other aspects of the picture depending on the content being displayed.
There are also AI-oriented features for sports and motion processing, making the TV suitable for football and other fast-moving broadcasts.
Powerful 6.2.2 Audio System
Unlike many large-screen TVs that require a soundbar immediately, the 116UX includes a substantial built-in 6.2.2-channel CineStage X sound system.
The system is rated at approximately 110W and supports Dolby Atmos and DTS Virtual:X. It incorporates upward-firing speakers and built-in bass reproduction to create a more immersive soundstage.
Hisense has also partnered with Opéra de Paris | Devialet for audio tuning on the UX series, helping deliver a more premium sound presentation.
Smart TV & Connectivity
Depending on the regional version, the 116UX is offered with Google TV or VIDAA, so it is important to confirm the exact operating system of the Kenyan unit before purchasing. Hisense East Africa currently lists the 116UX with Google TV, while other regional Hisense specifications identify VIDAA versions.
Connectivity includes:
HDMI 2.1
USB
Wi-Fi
Bluetooth
Ethernet/LAN
Optical audio
eARC
Screen mirroring
Voice control
The Google TV version also supports Chromecast built-in, Google Assistant and access to the Google TV app ecosystem.
