Hisense UR9

The Hisense UR9 is the more attainable of this list's two True RGB mini-LED debuts, and it lands at number two by pairing genuinely wider color with the best gaming connectivity outside the Samsung QN90F. Reviewers at What Hi-Fi measured roughly 3,500 nits on the identical-panel UK twin model (Hisense's own claim runs to 5,000, a gap worth knowing about before you buy), and Tom's Guide called it one of the most colorful TVs it has ever tested — a direct consequence of the RGB backlight rendering saturated color without leaning on the color filter every white-LED mini-LED, including the TCL QM9K, still requires. Where the UR9 pulls ahead of nearly everything else here is connectivity: a 170Hz native panel, three HDMI 2.1 ports, and a genuinely unusual DisplayPort input running at 4K/180Hz for PC gaming rigs. That combination earns it an 8.9 gaming score, second only to the QN90F's perfect 10, and comfortably ahead of the Sony Bravia 9 II's 120Hz, 2-HDMI-2.1-port setup — a TV that costs $3,599.99 to the UR9's $1,999.99, roughly 1.8 times the price. A Devialet-tuned 4.1.2-channel Dolby Atmos and DTS:X system backs it up, scoring 7.8 on sound — short of the U8QG's built-in array but well above most rivals. The honest caveat is dimming density: at just 980 zones confirmed at 65 inches, the UR9 has noticeably fewer zones than the TCL QM9K or Hisense's own U8QG, meaning more visible blooming in high-contrast scenes despite its RGB color advantage. The UR9's US-specific measurements aren't independently published yet, so the figures above lean on the identical UK model. Even so, a $1,500 drop from its $3,499.99 MSRP to $1,999.99 at Best Buy since April makes True RGB color meaningfully more attainable than the Bravia 9 II, and Google TV plus Dolby Vision and HDR10+ round out a well-equipped set.
