digital trends
The CES 2026 press conference from Hisense has come to a close. It was brief but filled with discussions about color and offered some insights into the company's direction.
You can find detailed information in the posts below, but here’s a summary (some aspects remain unclear, but I’ll strive to provide answers as soon as possible).
Hisense has introduced the new RGB miniLED evo platform to its televisions, incorporating an additional primary color (reportedly, sky blue) to enhance the visual appeal of the TVs and make them easier on the eyes.
A new operating system has been unveiled: HomeOS. This system aims to prevent endless scrolling through menus, becoming a standard across all your (likely Hisense) TVs at home.
These points were the highlights (and a third of the conference was dedicated to discussing the significance of color), but be sure to check out the posts below for the complete details.

Samsung's The Frame may not rank among the best televisions in terms of pure picture quality, yet it remains a highly sought-after choice for those who prioritize design. While several contenders have attempted to create art-inspired TVs over the years, Samsung has largely maintained its dominance in this area with limited serious competition. However, that lead may finally be challenged.
LG is poised to take on Samsung with a new canvas-style TV set to be presented at the upcoming CES 2026 trade show in Las Vegas. This model is designed to blend effortlessly into living environments as an artistic element rather than a conventional TV, offering a comparable aesthetic and feature set to Samsung's product.

I’m willing to bet that this 2026 earbud trend will lead you to replace your AirPods with more affordable alternatives

As someone who tests earbuds for a living, I've been excited throughout 2025 as a new trend has emerged in the budget earbud market.
