Hisense latest TVs bring mini LED to the masses at CES 2023
More details about their pricing and availability will be revealed later
Hisense TVs are known for providing the best of both worlds: features and value for money. At 2022's CES trade show, the company launched its first-ever ULED TVs running Google TV. Hisense is now taking things to the next level at CES 2023 with its latest TV lineup consisting of 14 mini LED TVs featuring a refresh rate of up to 144Hz and Wi-Fi 6E connectivity. Building on last year's U8, the Hisense U8K's mini LED panel packs double the local dimming zone of its predecessor with a peak brightness of 2500 nits.

Hisense has ULED TVs in any size or refresh rate you could want — all running Google TV
No more Android TV 'round here
The Chromecast with Google TV, introduced in late 2020, gave the world a first glimpse at Google's new living room interface, and since then, we've seen it land in both streaming devices and smart TVs, either through new launches or software updates. Hisense is now jumping on the Google TV bandwagon with a series of ULED TVs just introduced at CES 2022, coming at you in multiple sizes, refresh rates, and (of course) price points.
This new super high-end Android TV laser projector has a super high price too
Hisense's L9G series is available in 100 inches and 120 inches
These days, Android TV devices come in all forms and sizes, be it conventional TV sets, super-small HDMI dongles, or projectors. The platform is so versatile, it can fit basically any form and shape — and price. Hisense has just released follow-ups to some of the more expensive products to run Android TV, its Laser TV series. The new entries to the lineup come with perks like a 4K resolution on a 120-inch panel, built-in 40W Dolby Atmos speakers, and Google Assistant support. But this package has its price.

Hisense pulls a favorite Community star off the bench to sell you its new TVs
Well, maybe not /your/ favorite. No, not yours, either. OK, it's Joel McHale
Hisense just announced a whole pile of new TVs — somewhere around 25 if you count every option for all models, including new sizes and software tweaks for the old ones it's still selling. That's a whole lot of pixels to be pushing in 2021, and the company picked up Community star Joel McHale to sell them to you. Many of the new models are running Android TV, as well — and we mean Android TV, not Google TV. Here's a quick overview of what to expect from Hisense this year.
The sharp drop in TV prices in recent years is staggering. To wit: today, Best Buy is offering a gigantic, 75-inch Android TV for just $600, about $200 under what it goes for.
Hopefully you won't be hosting a Super Bowl party this year, but if you want an absolutely gigantic TV to watch it on anyway, Best Buy's got a deal for you. Today, you can nab an 85-inch Hisense Android TV for $1,000, $400 off its normal street price.

The bang for the buck that TVs offer these days never ceases to amaze me. For today only, Best Buy is offering an 85" Hisense 4K LED TV with HDR and Android TV on board for just 9.99, a savings of a whopping $700 off MSRP.
This $700 4K Android TV from Hisense is almost as big as Michael Jordan ($300 off)
It's definitely not as good at shooting baskets, though
Mounting former pro basketball player Michael Jordan in your living room doesn't seem like a great idea, but mounting a 4K Android TV on the wall that's about the same size as Michael Jordan sounds a lot better. Right now, there's a 75" set from Hisense that's on sale at Best Buy for just $699.99 — a full $300 in savings.
This 4K Android TV is about as big as André the Giant and it's also $700 off
Start your own home theater with this 85" set from Hisense
André the Giant is a big guy, but you probably wouldn't want him hanging up on your living room wall. That's where this deal from Hisense comes in: Best Buy is currently offering a 4K Android TV with screen real estate measuring a full 85". That's about as big as André the Giant was tall, and the set is just $999.99 — a full $700 off the MSRP.
Get a 70" 4K Hisense Android TV for just $400 from Best Buy ($250 off)

How to sideload any application on Hisense smart TVs
As long as you have an Android TV model, you're good to go
Televisions, streaming sticks, and set-top boxes with Android TV have access to millions of applications through the Google Play Store. However, there are some situations where you might want to sideload your own applications (APKs). Maybe you want the latest app updates quicker than the Play Store rolls them out, or you want to try an application that isn't officially available for your specific device.
It's truly incredible just how good cheap TVs have gotten. Not that long ago, $500 wouldn't get you anything better than a bargain bin 40" screen with a laundry list of issues and terrible, vaseline-coated picture quality. But now it's hard to spend more than $1,000 unless you really have a reason to, and Hisense's H8G series is a great example of just how far your money can go. It's a pretty good lineup from 50" to 75", and they all come with Android TV built right in. But while I want to recommend the TV, it's ruined by a single deal-breaker: Video playback from streaming apps can stutter and freeze for long periods, which isn't acceptable at any price.
If you're looking for a new 4K TV for the big game this Sunday and these Sony options are too pricey, you're going to want to check out this incredible offer. Today, you can order a brand new 55" Hisense H8F Series 4K TV for only 9.99 (0 off) at Best Buy and have it dropped on your doorstep in time for kickoff.
Your smartphone's screen is a glutton. Sure, it may be beautiful, high-res, and with action as smooth as silk, but every second you're staring at it your phone's battery is just ravenously being sucked dry. Manufacturers have been working since smartphones existed to mitigate that problem, but progress has been a series of baby steps. Now a new tech promises to turn screen power consumption on its head, adapting the sort of low-power B&W e-ink screen you'll find on devices like Kindles to show a full range of colors.
Read update
Just like any year, this year's CES has focused quite a bit on television sets. And just like any (recent) year, this year brings us a whole slew of new Android TV products. To make it easier to sift through them, we've compiled this article combining all the announcements from the show, sorted alphabetically by manufacturer.
Hisense has introduced its 2020 high-end TV lineup during CES, but among the more regular products, the company has also announced a $5,999 short-throw laser projector running Android TV. The device is capable of outputting a 4K 100-inch image and has embedded 30W speakers with dbx-tv support.
If you don't have the extra cash to throw at some of the more expensive 4K TVs we've covered this week, there are still plenty of wallet-friendly options ripe for the taking. Today only, you can pick up a brand new 65" Hisense H6500F Series Android TV for just 9.99 (0 off) at Best Buy.
If our last deal on a Toshiba Fire TV didn't tickle your fancy, check out the heavily discounted 55" Hisense H6500F Series Android TV from Best Buy. Its $220 price is down from $380, for a savings of $160.
