Hisense has opened pre-orders in China for its 163-inch UX MicroLED TV, priced at 799,999 yuan (~$110,372), after showcasing the model at CES 2025. Despite its massive screen size, the TV has a borderless design that measures 24mm thick, which Hisense claims is the slimmest profile for a MicroLED TV.

The display uses 24.88 million MicroLED crystal cores to achieve a peak brightness of 10,000 nits—a figure exceeding typical OLED capabilities—with reduced risk of screen burn-in. It supports a 3,840Hz refresh rate, covers 98% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, and includes Dolby Vision IQ, HDR10+, and HDR formats. Gaming features include HDMI 2.1 ports (4K@120Hz), VRR, and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro.

The UX MicroLED TV has a dual-core architecture for simultaneous light and color control. Other features onboard the TV include a Devialet 6.2.2-channel sound system with Dolby Atmos and DTS: Virtual X, as well as split-screen viewing and audio. Its availability in other markets has not been confirmed.

In other news, Hisense’s 2025 U7 Series MiniLED TVs are launching in the U.S. on April 15 and in Europe from May 15, targeting gamers and sports fans, just ahead of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025. These TVs will be available in sizes ranging from 55-inches to 116-inches and include features like 165Hz refresh rate, Hi-View AI Engine PRO, Quantum Dot Color, and support for Dolby Vision, IMAX Enhanced, and Pantone validation.

Meet the C SEED M1, a huge 165 inch folding MicroLED TV that would be a dream for Netflix binge watchers and minimalism enthusiasts alike, since its huge screen can be folded and housed into your home’s floor.

The C SEED M1 is different from the flexible OLED TVs that companies like LG provides. It users MicroLED over regular OLED, and does not simply roll into a box when not in use. For those unaware, MicroLED technology is one of the futures of display technology, as it combines the best features of the current leading screen technologies with self illuminated RGB pixels that do not require a backlight and use inorganic compounds to prevent burn out faced by organic compounds used in regular OLED panels.

Furthermore, the screens are also more power efficient as well, allowing for slimmer displays that can produce whites and blacks that can even rival the best TVs that are currently available in the market. However, a major downfall to this technology is that has yet to be made into a flexible panel, unlike OLEDs. In other words, it’s difficult to make a giant 165 inch TV disappear into the floor. But to make this possible, C SEED has opted to use five separate panels that can fold into each other, similar to a giant fan.

This is one of the advantages of MicroLED panels, which can be used to assemble a much larger TV from smaller panels. These assemblies are also seamless, so it appears as a giant uniform display at the end. The company also stated that the M1 users a feature called the Adaptive Gap Calibration so that there is no discrepancy in the image being displayed between the multiple panels. These image optimizations are to correct any slight difference in brightness of edge pixels or to hide any shadows that could potentially create seam lines between panels.

The C SEED M1 is available in gold, black, or even titanium finishes. And for the kicker, it’s priced at a whopping 400,000 US Dollars. Also, this figure does not include the renovations one has to make to house the television in the floor. Meaning, you have to hire a contractor separately to ensure that you get a completely seamless experience.

Samsung Electronics is apparently planning on adopting a new strategy to push forward the sales of its QLED and microLED TV technologies for this year. The news arrives to rival its known competitor LG Electronics, who is pushing its rollable OLED TVs.

According to a DigiTimes report, the South Korean tech giant will employ a two pronged strategy to grow sales of its QLED and microLED TVs in 2021. For those unaware, Samsung QLED TVs arrive with integrate quantum dots (QD) and OLED technologies but the company aims at improving its performance in areas like power consumption and brightness. Furthermore, it aims on addressing the known screen burn in issues as well and plans to develop QNED technology within this year as well.

Notably, Samsung is also planning on launching its 110 inch microLED TVs globally in the first quarter of this year. This might also launch along with rollable microLED technology if the company aims at pushing related technology together. Interestingly, both Samsung and LG are expected to contract the manufacture of their QLED and rollable OLED TVs, respectively, to third party companies for cost control reasons, with the former expected to raise the outsourcing ratio to 20 percent in 2021.

Additionally, Samsung and LG are also slowly withdrawing their TV assembly business from China and shifting to Vietnam and Indonesia due to the rise of local TV brands in the region. This move would also have both companies try and expand their sales in the Southeast Asian market as a whole.

The post Samsung to push sales of its QLED and microLED TVs in 2021: Report appeared first on Gizmochina.

Earlier this year, during Consumer Electronics Show (CES), Samsung showcased its four new MicroLED TVs aimed at household usage, which comes in 75-inch, 88-inch, 93-inch, and 110-inch screen sizes. The company had also showcased two commercial sizes — 150-inch and 292-inch.

However, it seems that the MicroLED TVs from Samsung may not be available for purchase this year. As per the reports, Samsung had planned to complete the production process of necessary components in the first half of this year and then commercially launch the TVs in the second half of the year. But it is now being reported that the company has not yet started production of components.

The company seems to be facing issues with the transfer process as well as pricing. Micrometer-sized LED modules need to be transferred from their temporary substrate to the flexible circuit board.

While Samsung claims that its MicroLED uses micrometer-sized LED, it is not smaller than 100 micrometers which are required for the designation. Instead, they are between 100 micrometers and 200 micrometers in size, which is technically a MiniLED. But they also require a similar transfer process.

Also, the yield rate for Samsung‘s MicroLED is quite low, which is impacting the pricing for the product. The current costing for the company is quite high — ranging between ten thousand dollars to up to a hundred thousand dollars, claims the report.

Even though the MicroLED TVs from Samsung are more advanced in terms of technology compared to the company’s QLED premium TVs, the pricing still remains an important factor to make the Samsung MicroLED TVs commercially viable.

MicroLED sets are similar to OLEDs in terms of self-emissive properties. However, instead of using organic light-emitting diodes, they use tiny, non-organic LEDs – three per pixel. That means that each pixel can be turned on or off individually, or can display a completely different color to the one next to it — offering almost perfect contrast and color control.
