Hisense is not slowing down. The brand has just presented a powerful television E8S Pro in China, which combines next-generation 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 provides cinema-quality picture that is meant to shame even the most expensive OLEDs.
Mini-LED RGB instead of a Quantum Dot layer
Instead of classic white LEDs, Hisense has used full RGB backlighting (separate red, green, and blue diodes). As a result, the television does not need a Quantum Dot layer, yet still offers full BT.2020 coverage (100%), 108-bit color 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 hard to beat even 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, placing it in the league of e-sports gaming monitors. It also features:
4 × HDMI 2.1 (48 Gb/s),
VRR, ALLM, and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro,
AI Game Mode, which optimizes picture and input lag depending on the genre of the game.
Sound with Devialet Signature and Connectivity
The audio is handled by a 4.2.2 system from Devialet with a power of 270 W and a large acoustic chamber (7.6 liters). 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 of storage. It includes Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, USB 3.0 / 2.0, Ethernet, and AV input. The design consists of a 44 mm thick metal frame and a zero-gap mount, so when hung 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.
The Hisense E8S Pro is probably the most gaming-oriented Mini-LED on the market – offering brightness unattainable by OLEDs, lightning-fast refresh rates, and a complete HDMI 2.1 set. If the model makes its way to Europe, it could become one of the most interesting choices for gamers and movie enthusiasts in 2026.
