Hisense Ghana has introduced what it describes as the world’s largest consumer television to the Ghanaian market, unveiling a 116-inch UX TriChroma RGB MiniLED TV in a high-profile launch on Onua Showtime.
The dramatic reveal was led by media personality Nana Ama McBrown and award-winning musician Wendy Shay, who built anticipation before pulling back the cover on the expansive display.
“What you are about to witness has never been seen on this continent before,” McBrown declared. “Ladies and gentlemen, we are proud to unveil the world’s largest consumer television here in Ghana.”
Wendy Shay followed with equal enthusiasm. “Hisense Ghana is bringing the future right into your living room — and tonight, it starts right here on Onua Showtime! I present to you… the Hisense 116-inch TriChroma RGB MiniLED TV!”
At 116 inches, the screen spans nearly 2.6 metres in width and almost 1.5 metres in height, weighing approximately 102 kilograms. Its sheer physical presence dominated the studio even before it was powered on. “Once it is on your wall?” Wendy Shay remarked. “It is a CINEMA. In. Your. Home.”
Beyond its size, the television’s defining feature lies in its RGB TriChroma MiniLED technology. Unlike conventional sets that rely primarily on white or blue LED backlights, this model uses more than 20,000 microscopic red, green and blue LEDs to generate colour directly at source. The result, according to the company, is enhanced colour precision, covering between 95 and 97 per cent of the BT.2020 colour space, currently the widest colour range available in consumer displays.
The screen is capable of reaching brightness levels of up to 8,000 nits, significantly higher than the 1,000 to 2,000 nits typical of many premium televisions. Even under bright studio lights during the live broadcast, the display retained clarity and colour depth without visible washout. The television is also Pantone Validated and Pantone SkinTone Validated, ensuring accurate representation of skin tones, a feature highlighted during the presentation.
Under the hood, the UX model integrates the Hi-View AI Engine X, powered by Deep Neural Networks. The system analyses content frame by frame in real time, automatically adjusting picture and sound settings depending on what is being viewed, whether live sport, local films or international blockbusters.
Audio performance has also been engineered to match the visual scale. The unit houses a built-in 6.2.2 CineStage X surround sound system, comprising six speaker channels, two subwoofers and two overhead height channels. With Dolby Atmos and DTS Virtual X support, the television is designed to deliver multidimensional sound without requiring external speakers.
Gamers are among the target audience, with the TV offering a native 165Hz refresh rate and support for AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and Variable Refresh Rate from 48 to 165Hz, aimed at reducing motion blur, screen tearing and lag during fast-paced gameplay.
Running on Google TV, the device provides access to more than 400,000 films, shows and applications via the Google Play Store, including Netflix, YouTube and Prime Video. It supports Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant and Apple HomeKit integration, alongside Wi-Fi 6E and HDMI eARC connectivity. Despite its scale, the display measures less than 40 millimetres in thickness and incorporates Anti-Reflection Pro coating to minimise glare.
Closing the segment, McBrown described the television as “a screen wider than most cars are long, a picture brighter than any TV before it, sound that wraps around you like a blanket, and intelligence that thinks so you don’t have to.”
Wendy Shay added that the product reflects Hisense’s commitment to making world-class technology accessible, noting that the 116-inch UX TriChroma RGB MiniLED TV will be available for public viewing at the company’s newly opened showroom in Haatso.
The launch marks a significant statement in Ghana’s consumer technology market, positioning the country as a stage for high-end global electronics innovation.
