Hisense has introduced the E8S Pro RGB-MiniLED TV in China, a premium 4K set designed to impress both home cinema fans and competitive gamers. Offered in 75-inch, 85-inch, and 100-inch sizes, it combines ultra-high brightness, dense local dimming, and a high refresh rate for standout performance in bright rooms and dark home theaters alike.
At the core is an RGB-MiniLED backlight with an exceptional number of local dimming zones for precise contrast control: 4,200 zones on the 75-inch model, 7,020 zones on the 85-inch, and 9,360 zones on the 100-inch. Hisense rates peak brightness at up to 6,200 nits, helping HDR highlights pop even in sunlit spaces. The Obsidian Ultra panel is built for clarity with a low 1.28% reflectivity and a wide 178-degree viewing angle.
For smooth motion, the E8S Pro delivers a native 170 Hz refresh rate and can be boosted to 330 Hz via interpolation. Gamers get must-have features including Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM), and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro to reduce tearing and input lag during fast-paced play.
Color and format support are equally comprehensive. The TV claims 100% coverage of the BT.2020 color gamut and supports Dolby Vision and HDR10+ for dynamic HDR playback. It’s also certified for IMAX Enhanced and includes Filmmaker Mode for faithful, director-intended picture settings.
Audio is handled by a 4.2.2-channel speaker system tuned by Devialet, with compatibility for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X to deliver immersive, height-aware sound without needing a separate soundbar. Connectivity includes four HDMI ports plus USB 3.0 and USB 2.0, and the chassis remains relatively slim at just 44 mm thick.
