Hisense isn't easing off. The brand has just showcased a powerful television E8S Pro in China, which combines next-gen Mini-LED, 170 Hz refresh rate (up to 330 Hz in 1080p) and AI Hi-View Engine H7 processor. All of this is aimed at gamers and delivering cinematic image quality that is set to embarrass even the most expensive OLEDs.
Mini-LED RGB instead of Quantum Dot layer
Instead of classic white LEDs, Hisense has used full RGB backlighting (separate red, green, and blue LEDs). As a result, the television does not require a Quantum Dot layer, yet it offers full BT.2020 coverage (100%), 108-bit colour depth, and up to 6,200 nits peak brightness – three times more than top OLEDs.
The local dimming system is also impressive:
75″ – 4,200 zones,
85″ – 7,020 zones,
100″ – 9,360 zones (!).
In practice, this means perfect contrast and blacks that are even hard to beat in Mini-LEDs.
170 Hz, and even 330 Hz – ideal for gamers
The E8S Pro is a true gaming machine. The 4K 170 Hz panel can be switched to 1080p / 330 Hz mode, placing it in the league of e-sports gaming monitors. Additionally, it features:
4 × HDMI 2.1 (48 Gb/s),
VRR, ALLM and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro,
AI Game Mode, which optimises image and input lag depending on the genre of the game.
Sound with Devialet signature and connectivity
Audio is powered by the 4.2.2 system from Devialet with a power of 270 W and a large acoustic chamber (7.6 litres). It supports Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and IMAX Enhanced – the sound is spacious, clear, and powerful. Inside, it runs on the MediaTek MT9655 with 4 GB RAM and 128 GB storage. There is also Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, USB 3.0 / 2.0, Ethernet, and an AV input. The construction features a 44 mm thick metal frame and a zero-gap mount, so when hung on the wall, the TV looks like a designer panel.
Prices (China) and conversions
For now, the E8S Pro is only available in China (JD.com), but if it makes its way to Europe – it could really shake up the premium segment.
Size | Price in CNY | USD | AUD | GBP | EUR | PLN* |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
75″ | ¥16 599 | $2 300 | AU$ 3 580 | £1 760 | € 2 140 | 9 900 zł |
85″ | ¥20 999 | $2 900 | AU$ 4 520 | £2 230 | € 2 710 | 12 500 zł |
100″ | ¥29 999 | $4 150 | AU$ 6 460 | £3 180 | € 3 870 | 17 900 zł |
*Estimate based on exchange rates from October 2025.
Hisense E8S Pro is probably the most gaming-oriented Mini-LED on the market – offering brightness unattainable for OLEDs, lightning-fast refresh rates and a complete HDMI 2.1 set. If the model makes it to Europe, it could become one of the most exciting choices for gamers and movie enthusiasts in 2026.
