RGB MiniLED TV market expands, Dolby Vision 2 rollout

Overview

The RGB‑Mini‑LED and True‑RGB TV market continued to broaden through mid‑2026. New consumer models appeared in Europe, with Radio Popular in Portugal offering MiniLED‑RGB and MicroLED‑RGB sets and LG unveiling its Micro‑RGB evo TV, while Sony announced pricing and a 30 % discount for its flagship QD‑OLED Bravia. Hisense solidified its lead, reporting a 55.2 % share of the 100‑inch‑plus segment in Q1 2026 and launching the UR8/UR9 RGB‑Mini‑LED series, the XR10 laser projector and the high‑refresh‑rate UX gaming monitors.

In August 2026, Dolby Laboratories introduced Dolby Vision 2, a next-generation HDR standard featuring a tiered licensing strategy. This includes a premium ‘Dolby Vision 2 Max’ for high-end hardware—offering features like ‘Authentic Motion’, ‘Light Sense 2’, and ‘Precision Black’—and a standard version designed to lower licensing hurdles for budget-friendly televisions. To ensure content availability, Dolby is using machine learning to automate the upgrade of approximately 33,000 existing titles, though high-end capabilities still require manual human intervention to maintain creative integrity.

Hardware adoption is underway, with Hisense beginning a rollout of Dolby Vision 2 support via firmware for select 2026 models (including UX, UR9, UR8, and U7 series) across North America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region. These updates utilize the MediaTek Pentonic 800 chip and support both Google TV and VIDAA OS. Streaming platforms such as CANAL+, iQIYI, and Peacock have already announced support. Conversely, Sony indicated it does not plan to provide Dolby Vision 2 updates for its current lineup of 4K Blu-ray players, despite theoretical compatibility via HDMI.
