Hisense has opened pre-orders for its latest smart TV lineup, the Xiaomo E5Q series, and it’s clear the company is swinging big in the mid-range market. Packing Mini LED backlighting, high refresh rate displays, and AI-enhanced smarts into a sleek chassis, this is Hisense making a statement: you don’t need to spend top dollar to get a premium experience.
The Xiaomo E5Q comes in six sizes, from a modest 50 inches all the way to a living-room-dominating 100 inches. Starting at 2,199 yuan (roughly $305), pricing tops out at 11,999 yuan (around $1,670) for the flagship 100-inch variant. But beyond the screen sizes, what Hisense has crammed into these panels is where things get interesting.
Hisense Xiaomo E5Q Specifications
Each E5Q TV is built around the company’s U+ Mini LED Pro display system. On the 50-inch model, that translates to 128 precisely controlled lighting zones backed by dot-matrix local dimming and a lens-based focusing mechanism. Meanwhile, the top-end 100-inch version steps it up with 608 local dimming zones, allowing for even finer contrast control and more immersive lighting precision across the expansive panel. This setup helps the TVs deliver deeper blacks, reduced blooming, and enhanced shadow detail. Peak brightness hits 1200 nits, with support for HDR10 and full 4K HDR rendering.
Color performance is solid, too. The panels can reproduce over 1 billion colors and cover 95% to 96% of the DCI-P3 color space, depending on the model. Hisense’s ΔE values, used to measure color accuracy, are impressively low, with the 100-inch flagship rated around ΔE≈1.2, close to pro-grade displays.
Gaming gets serious attention as well. The 100-inch variant supports a native 150Hz refresh rate and can unlock up to 300Hz in dedicated game modes via HDMI 2.1. Paired with MEMC motion smoothing and a Game Control Center that plays nice with Switch, Xbox, and PlayStation consoles, this is a TV designed for high-frame-rate play without compromise.
AI plays a central role across the lineup. The DeepSeek large language model powers various intelligent experiences including AI-curated movie modes, education features, and real-time scene adjustments. Voice command support is baked in, enabling hands-free control for content searches, weather updates, or toggling between picture presets.
Hisense isn’t stopping at visuals. Audio on the larger E5Q models is anchored by a 2.1.2 channel Hi-Fi-grade setup, including a 25W subwoofer and a total output of 91W. Backed by Hisense’s Hi-Sound Pro engine, it supports spatial effects and adaptive tuning across different content types.
The smart TV experience is delivered via an Android 11-based interface, and memory configurations scale up to 4GB RAM and 128GB storage on the 100-inch version.
In terms of connectivity, the device is equipped with Wi-Fi 6, USB 3.0, dual HDMI 2.1 ports with 48Gbps bandwidth, and Bluetooth 5.0. Hisense also claims to have introduced the industry’s first smart antenna array with 2×2 MIMO technology, designed to enhance data throughput on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands.
