Hisense is expanding its MiniLED TV lineup in the US with the new 2026 U6 Series, a range the company positions as a “performance-to-value sweet spot” for shoppers who want a better picture without paying premium prices. Launching alongside the freshly revealed 2026 U7 models, the U6 family is expected to come in cheaper than the U7 series and arrive in stores in the coming weeks.
Sitting just below the U7 in Hisense’s lineup, the 2026 U6 Series will include two versions: the Hisense U6SF and the Hisense U6SF Pro. Buyers will have plenty of size choices, too, with screen options starting at 55 inches and stretching all the way up to a massive 100 inches—ideal whether you’re outfitting a bedroom setup or building a big-screen living room theater.
On the picture-quality side, Hisense says the new U6 models combine Hi-QLED MiniLED technology with Full Array Local Dimming and Quantum Dot color. In everyday terms, that mix is designed to improve contrast (deeper dark scenes and more controlled highlights) while also delivering more accurate, vivid color—two of the biggest reasons shoppers consider upgrading to a MiniLED TV in the first place.
Smart TV features are also a major part of the package. The 2026 Hisense U6 Series comes with Fire TV OS built in, giving users easy access to popular streaming apps right from the home screen. For audio, each set includes an integrated sound system with a built-in subwoofer and support for Dolby Atmos, aiming to deliver a more immersive experience for movies, shows, and sports without immediately requiring a separate soundbar.
Hisense hasn’t fully detailed the differences between the U6SF and the U6SF Pro yet, but the Pro model is expected to add more advanced features.
As for availability and cost, Hisense says the 2026 U6 Series MiniLED TVs will launch in the US within the next few weeks, though an exact release date and official pricing haven’t been announced. For reference, last year’s 55-inch 2025 U6 Series Mini-LED 4K UHD Smart Fire TV debuted with a list price of $799.99, which gives a rough idea of where the new lineup could land—especially if Hisense is aiming to undercut the U7 series on price.
