Hisense TV Boasts Rare DisplayPort for Gamers
5 Apr
Summary
- Hisense's new UR9 TV features a USB-C port with DisplayPort support.
- The DisplayPort connection supports 4K resolution at 180Hz refresh rate.
- This feature is rare on TVs and appeals to PC gamers and creatives.
Hisense's 2026 UR9 TV series introduces a notable feature: a USB-C port with full DisplayPort support. This addition is uncommon in the television market, where HDMI typically dominates. The inclusion allows for 4K resolution at refresh rates up to 180Hz, making it attractive for PC gamers who often use DisplayPort for high-performance output from their GPUs.
This move might stem from the TV having three HDMI 2.1 ports instead of the usual four, a potential limitation of its connection control chip. The DisplayPort offers a fourth high-refresh-rate 4K input. Furthermore, the UR9 series utilizes RGB-backlit mini-LED technology, promising over 100% of the BT.2020 color space and Pantone validation, appealing to creative professionals seeking wide color support.
The UR9 series will be available in 65-inch, 75-inch, and 85-inch sizes, with a 100-inch option in the US. While not desk-friendly, these large displays could suit PC gamers opting for a sofa setup. The TVs support AMD FreeSync, and most of Hisense's mini-LED sets are compatible with G-Sync. Pricing for the 65-inch model in the US is set at $3,499.
