We had heard that Hisense’s 2025 TVs were really greatwith the Chinese brand announcing that it had launched its first 136-inch micro-LED TV for the consumer market, but we did not expect to be surprised by a giant 163-inch version of the micro-LED TV at CES 2025 as well.

Now, don’t get too excited right away, Hisense does not yet have definitive plans for when the giant 163-inch micro-LED TV could be available, or exactly in which countries – but it is a real product that will come. some countries, and the United Kingdom is likely to be one of them (but not confirmed).
That made the fact that I could see it in person all the more exciting, and promising for what comes next. Indeed, just the thought of how many millions of microscope LEDs are in such a giant display is amazing.
It seems that there really is no limit to what can be done the best TVs bigger – at this rate we need to start changing the regulations to make all new houses bigger – and to see this achieved with the micro-LED for a consumer market makes it exciting for everyone who wants that screen size of movie projector in his house. without sacrificing brightness and ease of use.
Seeing Hisense’s oversized micro-LED TV in person
But what does a 163-inch micro-LED TV look like? Sure, it sounds great, but seeing the set in person is something else entirely. I had to approach the Las Vegas Convention Center and was not only struck by the size of it, but by the way the set was able to maintain such impressively rich colors and clarity in the large panel.
Of course, this is due to the millions of micro-LEDs that offer infinitely nuanced control over contrast, which is what makes the set look so bright with such vivid colors – the micro-LED is essentially the “ideal” medium where to get it. the high contrast of OLED with the high brightness of mini-LED.
Such technically high-performance display technology on such a giant TV is sure to appeal only to a very specific type of audience, however, which means that only those with home theaters and Hollywood budgets will be probably in the market. for one of these.
As for the specifications in the micro-LED 163-inch, Hisense says that it is the same as the 136MX. This means that both sets have Hisense’s new Hi-View AI Engine X processor to power the millions of micro-LEDs. Driven by this, there is also an “AI-based” function to optimize image and sound quality, as well as increased energy consumption.
You also get Dolby Vision IQ and HDR10+ HDR trained On the audio front, the giant micro-LED sets support both Dolby Atmos and DTS: Virtual X formats, and as for games, there are two HDMI 2.1 ports that support it. 4K 120 Hz, VRR (AMD FreeSync Premium Pro included) and ALLM.
No exact price or launch date has been announced for the micro-LED model, but considering the prices we’ve seen for giant micro-LEDs from TCL, LG and SamsungI do not expect them to be good, if the 163-inch is also launched.
