- The new Hisense U7 series will come in sizes up to 116 inches
- The Hisense U6 will be available from 55 to 100 inches
- The Hisense U7 range starts at $1,299 and is available now
Hisense has announced new affordable mini-LED TVs for the US, with sizes up to 116 inches and a choice of operating systems, depending on where you buy them.
The entry-level mini-LED U6 Series will now be available in sizes ranging from 55 to 100 inches, while the mid-range mini-LED U7 will be available in sizes up to 116 inches for the first time, if you want to go huge.
Hisense says this is to meet the growing demand for ever-larger TVs for more social viewing around, oh, let’s pick a random example, the FIFA World Cup that Hisense happens to be plastering all over its TVs, as a major sponsor.

The U7 Series will come in two flavors: one with Google TV, indicated by a G at the end of the model name, and one with Amazon‘s Fire TV, indicated by an F — they’ll be available at different retailers, and I think I can probably guess which retailer will lead on the F version. The U6 Series TVs will all run the Fire TV operating system.
What’s new for Hisense mini-LED TVs in 2026
According to Hisense, the U6 and U7 line-up of ULED TVs is the “performance-to-value sweet spot”, with new RGB-backlit TVs available in premium models above them.
The U7 is pitched as the TV for watching sports and hosting viewing parties, with Hisense’s Hi-View AI Engine Pro, advanced motion technology and a native 165Hz refresh rate. And the visuals are soundtracked with a 50W 2.1.2 audio system with Dolby Atmos and DTS Virtual:X.
We liked the Hisense U75QG from last year a lot, so we’re really looking forward to seeing what improvements are coming – especially if Hisense has improved the viewing angles, which are important for a big social sporting experience.
For the U6 range, there’s the entry-level Hisense U6SF and a more expensive U6SF Pro, and the range features AI-driven picture optimization that promises to automatically adjust the picture settings based on what you’re watching. There’s an integrated subwoofer for extra low end and Dolby Atmos audio, but other specs are currently mysterious.
The U7 series is available now from Best Buy at $1,299 for the 55-inch model, rising to $2,499 for the 85-inch — though as always with TVs, I’d expect those prices to drop a lot over the coming months. The 100-inch and 116-inch variants are not currently listed. Pricing and availability for the U6 will be announced later.
