Hisense UR9 RGB MiniLED: An Affordable TV in Its Class
海信 UR9 RGB MiniLED：同级别中极具性价比的电视
RGB Mini-LED TVs have officially arrived, and Hisense’s UR9 was the first to hit the market, followed by Sony’s Bravia 7 Mark II and TCL’s RM9L. I wouldn’t blame you if you weren’t jazzed to learn what the new display technology means, particularly if you were just getting used to terms like OLED, QLED, and art TV. Thankfully, understanding why the Hisense UR9 RGB MiniLED is a step up in picture quality compared to its competitors is more about the experience it provides than knowing the technical terms.
RGB Mini-LED 电视已正式问世，海信 UR9 是首款推向市场的机型，随后是索尼 Bravia 7 Mark II 和 TCL RM9L。如果你对这项新技术感到困惑，我完全理解，尤其是当你刚习惯 OLED、QLED 和艺术电视等术语时。好在，理解海信 UR9 RGB MiniLED 为何在画质上优于竞争对手，更多在于它所提供的实际体验，而非掌握那些技术术语。
Even so, the general function of mini RGB tech is not so difficult to understand: Traditional LED and QLED televisions achieve their bright and colorful images by shining white or blue LEDs through an LCD panel. The newer mini RGB works by emitting red, green, and blue lights, resulting in better color accuracy, excellent contrast and brightness, and finer control over color zones. LG and Samsung use new tech called micro RGB, claiming it to be more advanced than mini RGB thanks to smaller LEDs, although both achieve roughly the same result.
即便如此，Mini RGB 技术的原理并不难理解：传统的 LED 和 QLED 电视通过白色或蓝色 LED 灯珠穿过 LCD 面板来呈现明亮多彩的图像。而较新的 Mini RGB 技术则是通过直接发射红、绿、蓝三原色光，从而实现更好的色彩准确度、出色的对比度和亮度，并能更精细地控制色彩区域。LG 和三星使用了一种名为 Micro RGB 的新技术，声称由于 LED 灯珠更小，其技术比 Mini RGB 更先进，尽管两者最终达到的效果大致相同。
The UR9 is the flagship in Hisense’s lineup, but it isn’t priced that way at just $2,000 for the 65-inch model I tested. What you get with the UR9 is an improved picture quality compared to the brand’s other models, which are typically priced lower than sets from big names like Samsung, Sony, and LG. I’ve tested countless Hisense entry-level models over the years, including a few that had poor contrast and brightness, putting them more in line with TCL, Roku, and Amazon Fire TV bargain models that cost around $800.
UR9 是海信产品线中的旗舰机型，但我测试的 65 英寸版本仅售 2,000 美元，价格并不算昂贵。UR9 带来的画质提升非常明显，相比该品牌其他通常低于三星、索尼和 LG 等大牌定价的机型，它有了质的飞跃。多年来我测试过无数海信入门级机型，其中一些对比度和亮度表现不佳，更接近于 TCL、Roku 和亚马逊 Fire TV 等售价约 800 美元的廉价机型。
Not the case with this gaming monster, with its unusual-but-welcome 180-Hz refresh rate (330-Hz variable) when you link a high-end computer to the DisplayPort connection on the side. Overall, I was impressed by the picture quality at this price point, even if the UR9 can’t quite compete with the latest (but pricey) Samsung and LG models that use micro RGB tech.
但这台游戏怪兽则完全不同，当你将高端电脑连接到侧面的 DisplayPort 接口时，它能提供罕见但令人惊喜的 180Hz 刷新率（330Hz 可变刷新率）。总的来说，我对这个价位段的画质印象深刻，尽管 UR9 在与使用 Micro RGB 技术、价格昂贵的最新三星和 LG 机型相比时，仍稍逊一筹。
The all-black, notably thin (only 1.8 inches!) UR9 comes with a stand that’s much easier to assemble than the Sony Bravia 7 Mark II RGB TV. Once in position on my stand, setting up the Google TV operating system was simple, save for dealing with a known bug with the Google Home app’s QR code that required manually entering my Gmail address and password. The UR9 uses Wi-Fi 6E, which is faster than Wi-Fi 6.
全黑且机身极薄（仅 1.8 英寸！）的 UR9 配备了一个支架，其组装难度远低于索尼 Bravia 7 Mark II RGB 电视。将其放置在支架上后，Google TV 操作系统的设置非常简单，只是遇到了 Google Home 应用二维码的一个已知 Bug，需要手动输入 Gmail 地址和密码。UR9 支持 Wi-Fi 6E，速度比 Wi-Fi 6 更快。
I found the UR9 remote to be unnecessarily complex with too many buttons. The mute button is located at the bottom right, which is nowhere near the volume buttons. It features more shortcut buttons than most TV remotes, including one marked Kids (for the Kidoodle app). There’s a customizable shortcut button as well, which I mapped to YouTube TV. There’s even a Google TV profile button that lets you switch accounts, even though most people will switch accounts using individual streaming apps. However, I did like the colorful, easy-to-spot shortcuts for Netflix and Amazon Prime because they are colorful. The remote is also nicely backlit and conveniently adjusts for ambient lighting in the room.
我发现 UR9 的遥控器过于复杂，按钮太多。静音键位于右下角，离音量键很远。它比大多数电视遥控器拥有更多的快捷键，包括一个标有“Kids”（用于 Kidoodle 应用）的按钮。此外还有一个可自定义的快捷键，我将其映射到了 YouTube TV。甚至还有一个 Google TV 个人资料按钮用于切换账户，尽管大多数人更习惯在各个流媒体应用内切换。不过，我确实很喜欢 Netflix 和 Amazon Prime 的彩色快捷键，因为它们非常醒目。遥控器还带有背光，并能根据室内环境光自动调节亮度。
The back of the TV features three HDMI 2.1 ports—an upgrade from many televisions that only have two. In addition to the aforementioned DisplayPort connector on the side, the UR9 also features an Ethernet port, optical audio out, coaxial, and two USB ports (for connecting a hard drive or charging an HD antenna). Oddly, there isn’t a 3.5-mm headphone jack on this TV.
电视背面配备了三个 HDMI 2.1 接口，这比许多只有两个接口的电视有所升级。除了侧面提到的 DisplayPort 接口外，UR9 还配备了以太网口、光纤音频输出、同轴接口以及两个 USB 接口（用于连接硬盘或为高清天线供电）。奇怪的是，这台电视没有 3.5 毫米耳机插孔。
The UR9 meets 100 percent of the BT.2020 color gamut standard range. Picture-quality enhancements and settings are hit or miss here. I liked how a Motion Clearness setting made a soccer ball easier to see during a World Cup match. There’s also Dynamic Color Enhancer that lets you select the color space and adjust sliders; this worked well to help make several shows and movies appear more vivid. I don’t think the Blue Light setting, which is supposed to reduce eye strain, made a huge difference. Several other settings for smoother gradients or contrast only had a marginal effect.
UR9 达到了 BT.2020 色域标准范围的 100%。画质增强和设置方面表现参差不齐。我喜欢“运动清晰度”（Motion Clearness）设置，它让世界杯比赛中的足球更容易看清。此外还有“动态色彩增强”（Dynamic Color Enhancer），允许你选择色彩空间并调整滑块；这在提升部分剧集和电影的画面鲜艳度方面效果不错。我认为旨在减少视疲劳的“蓝光”设置并没有太大作用。其他几个用于平滑渐变或对比度的设置效果也微乎其微。
Before getting into mini RGB display test results, here’s what I’d expect from one, compared to that of an OLED: OLEDs tend to have deeper blacks, while a mini RGB should provide more accurate and vivid colors, a higher brightness rating (usually 5,000 nits compared to around 1,000 nits for OLED), and excellent contrast. OLED televisions are coming down in price, hovering around $2,700 for a 65-inch. The UR9 is priced higher than some Hisense models, but it’s very reasonable for a mini RGB.
在进入 Mini RGB 显示测试结果之前，先谈谈我对其与 OLED 相比的预期：OLED 通常具有更深邃的黑色，而 Mini RGB 应该提供更准确、更生动的色彩、更高的亮度等级（通常为 5,000 尼特，而 OLED 约为 1,000 尼特）以及出色的对比度。OLED 电视的价格正在下降，65 英寸机型徘徊在 2,700 美元左右。UR9 的价格高于海信的其他一些型号，但对于 Mini RGB 电视来说非常合理。
To test the UR9, I watched the movie The Last Duel. The mini RGB tech provided exceptional color, contrast, deep blacks, and brightness, rivaling what I’d expect from an OLED. After watching The Last Duel, I jumped into my typical Spears & Munsil Benchmark tests, hoping to verify some of the mini RGB advantages. Unlike with the midrange Bravia 7 Mark II, the skin-tone test on the UR9 showed a nice variation and excellent contrast. The demo reel results were likewise mostly positive: Mist over a snowy mountain scene was easy to distinguish, and the green grass behind a fence was mostly accurate, if slightly brownish. The Leica Cine Play 1 projector rendered that same grass as a brighter green. A nighttime scene with dark trees in the foreground had amazing contrast with deep blacks. A red cactus didn’t look quite as red as I would have hoped, but the yellow flower was extremely vivid.
为了测试 UR9，我观看了电影《最后的决斗》。Mini RGB 技术提供了卓越的色彩、对比度、深邃的黑色和亮度，足以媲美 OLED。看完电影后，我进行了常规的 Spears & Munsil 基准测试，希望能验证 Mini RGB 的一些优势。与中端机型 Bravia 7 Mark II 不同，UR9 在肤色测试中表现出了良好的层次感和出色的对比度。演示片段的结果也大多是积极的：雪山场景中的雾气清晰可辨，栅栏后的绿草色彩基本准确，尽管略带棕色。Leica Cine Play 1 投影仪呈现出的草地颜色更亮。前景中有深色树木的夜景展现了惊人的对比度和深邃的黑色。红色的仙人掌看起来没有我预期的那么红，但黄色的花朵却极其鲜艳。
