The 2026 TV market is already shaping up to be one of the most turbulent in years, with major brands reshuffling strategies, manufacturing partners, and display technologies. Into that environment steps Hisense, which has begun rolling out its 2026 U6 and U7 ULED MiniLED 4K TV series, available in screen sizes ranging from 55 to 116 inches.
The new U6 and U7 Series ULED MiniLED TVs represent Hisense’s latest push in the highly competitive midrange LCD category. As the world’s third largest TV shipper behind Samsung and TCL, the company is aggressively expanding its ULED MiniLED platform while also investing in emerging RGB MiniLED display technology.
Samsung is making a similar move in the premium LCD space with its own RGB MicroLED/MiniLED hybrid approaches, signaling that the next phase of the TV technology war will revolve around brighter LCD panels with more precise color control rather than traditional white LED backlighting.
Against that backdrop, the U7 Series leads Hisense’s 2026 ULED LCD MiniLED rollout and is available now, while the U6 Series is expected to reach retailers in the coming weeks. Together, the two lineups form the backbone of Hisense’s midrange TV strategy for 2026, targeting buyers who want MiniLED performance, high brightness, and large screen sizes without stepping into flagship price territory.
With the 2026 FIFA World Cup set to take place in the United States, Hisense says its U7 and U6 ULED MiniLED TV lineup is designed to give fans and families a larger, brighter way to experience the tournament together, with screen sizes and pricing aimed at a wide range of households.
The U6 and U7 Series represent Hisense’s performance to value sweet spot within the company’s TV portfolio. Above them, Hisense plans to introduce its RGB MiniLED Series, which will serve as the brand’s ultra premium tier and incorporate new display technologies designed to improve brightness, color precision, and backlight control beyond the current ULED category.
For 2026, Hisense is expanding the U6 and U7 MiniLED portfolios with more screen sizes and configurations, giving buyers additional options for building large screen setups across a variety of living spaces and budgets.
“The data’s clear, people are gravitating toward larger screens and they’re using them to bring people together,” said James Fishler, Chief Commercial Officer at Hisense. “We’re focused on making sure the features that define the viewing experience, the size, the performance, the technology, are accessible across the board, not just at the high end. That’s what this lineup delivers.”
U7 Series
An important part of Hisense’s 2026 FIFA World Cup portfolio, the U7 (U7SG) is designed to elevate match day viewing by capturing fast paced action, vivid color, and crowd level atmosphere with the clarity and scale needed to make every goal, rivalry, and defining moment feel larger than life.
Available in screen sizes from 55 to 116 inches, the U7SG is built to fit a wide range of households, with a focus on turning major sporting events and big screen entertainment into a more cinematic experience at home.
Key Features of the U7 Series
Precision Backlight: Hisense uses thousands of MiniLED lighting elements to deliver precise backlight control and more lifelike images. Powered by Hi QLED MiniLED Pro with Full Array Local Dimming and the Hi View AI Engine Pro, the U7 is designed to maintain strong contrast and clarity across live sports, movies, and everyday content. The U7 Series supports up to 3,000 nits of peak brightness.
No Blur: The U7 incorporates advanced motion technology for high speed gaming, sports, and action films. A native 165Hz refresh rate combined with intelligent motion processing helps reduce blur, lag, and smeared frames, delivering smoother performance during fast paced gameplay and major sporting events.
Gaming Support: The U7 series provides a dedicated Game Mode with VRR and ALLM, along with Dolby Vision Gaming and HDR10+ Gaming compatibility.
Smart TV: The U7 Series offers Google TV (U7SG) and Fire TV (U7SF) operating systems at varying retailers, giving consumers the flexibility to choose the smart platform that best aligns with their connected home ecosystem.
Sound: The U7 series provides an immersive 50W multi-channel audio (2.1.2) with Dolby Atmos and DTS Virtual: X filling the room with layered sound. Speaker system tuned by Devialet.

U6 Series
Led by the U6SF Pro, the U6 Series continues Hisense’s push to bring advanced display technology to more households. Designed around the features consumers value most, the U6SF Pro offers an easier entry point into MiniLED performance without stepping into higher priced tiers. Within the lineup, the U6 Series sits just below the U7, offering many of the same core technologies at a more accessible price.
Hisense is also introducing an additional MiniLED model, the U6SF, giving buyers another affordable path into MiniLED technology across a wider range of screen sizes and budgets.
The U6 Series will be available in screen sizes from 55 to 100 inches.
Hisense U6 Series Features
Hi QLED MiniLED: With Full Array Local Dimming and Quantum Dot color, the U6 is designed to deliver brighter highlights, deeper contrast, and more lifelike color across streaming, sports, and everyday content.
AI Picture: Built in AI processing helps reduce the need for manual picture adjustments. The U6 Series can automatically fine tune picture performance based on the type of content being viewed.
Smart TV: The U6 Series runs on the Amazon Fire TV platform, providing access to major streaming services, apps, and voice control features.
Sound: Built in TV speakers rarely deliver a satisfying listening experience, so the U6 Series includes an integrated subwoofer designed to add more depth and impact without requiring external speakers or additional wiring. The set also supports Dolby Atmos audio processing.
Detailed specifications and pricing for the U6 and U6 Pro Series have not yet been released. According to Hisense, the lineup is expected to arrive at retailers later in Spring 2026.
Pro Tip: Once full details for the U6 and U6 Pro models are announced, we will expand the feature overview and update our specifications table accordingly.
The Bottom Line
With the U7 and U6 Series, Hisense continues to target one of the most competitive areas of the TV market: buyers who want big screens, high brightness, and modern display technology without paying flagship prices. By combining MiniLED backlighting, Quantum Dot color, peak brightness up to 3,000 nits, a 165Hz refresh rate, and screen sizes from 55 to 116 inches, the U7 lineup delivers a feature set that is clearly aimed at sports fans, gamers, and anyone building a large screen home entertainment setup.
The U6 Series sits just below it as a more affordable entry point into MiniLED performance, making it appealing to households that want better contrast and brightness than traditional LED TVs but are not ready to move into higher priced premium models.
What makes the lineup stand out is the combination of very large screen sizes, high brightness, and aggressive pricing, a formula that has helped Hisense close the technology and market share gap with Samsung and compete directly with TCL in the midrange performance category. If the final pricing lands where previous Hisense models have, the U7 and U6 Series could once again be among the most compelling big screen TV options heading into 2026.
