Hisense is not slowing down. The brand has just presented a powerful television E8S Pro in China, which combines next-generation Mini-LED, refresh rate of 170 Hz (up to 330 Hz in 1080p) and AI processor Hi-View Engine H7. All this is aimed at gamers and cinematic picture quality that is set to shame even the most expensive OLEDs.
Mini-LED RGB instead of Quantum Dot layer
Instead of traditional white diodes, Hisense has used full RGB backlighting (separate red, green, and blue diodes). As a result, the television does not require a Quantum Dot layer, yet still offers full BT.2020 coverage (100%), 108-bit colour depth, and even 6,200 nits of 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 difficult to surpass even in Mini-LEDs.
170 Hz, or 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 esports gaming monitors. Additionally, it features:
4 × HDMI 2.1 (48 Gb/s),
VRR, ALLM, and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro,
AI Game Mode, which optimises picture quality and input lag depending on the genre of the game.
Sound with Devialet signature and connectivity
The audio is provided by a 4.2.2 system from Devialet with an impressive 270 W output and a large acoustic chamber (7.6 litres). It supports Dolby Atmos, DTS:X and IMAX Enhanced – the sound is spatial, clear, and powerful. Inside, it features a 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 consists of a 44 mm thick metal frame and a zero-gap mount, so when mounted on the wall, the television looks like a designer panel.
Prices (China) and conversions
For now, the E8S Pro is only available in China (JD.com), but if it comes to Europe – it could significantly disrupt 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 – it offers brightness unattainable by 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 interesting choices for gamers and cinephiles in 2026.
