OK, that’s a wrap on Hisense’s CES 2026 press conference… it was quick, had a lot of chat about color but a couple of insights into where Hisense is heading.

You can read all about it through the posts below, but here’s something of a summary (some parts of it are still unclear, but I’ll do my best to get the answers as soon as we can).

  • Hisense has brought the new RGB miniLED evo platform to its TVs, adding in a new primary color (apparently that’s possible… sky blue) to make TVs looks nicer and kinder on the eyes.
  • There’s a new operating system on the block: HomeOS. This will apparently stop you just scrolling through TV and getting lost in menus, and will be pervasive across all your (presumably Hisense) TVs in your house.

Those were the main things (a third of the conference was taken up by talking about how important color is to us) but check out the posts below to get the full picture.

    AI isn't the problem anymore. Knowing it's AI is.
    AI tag imagined with AI

    The music industry's battle with artificial intelligence is entering a new phase. After spending the past two years fighting AI companies in court and pushing back against unauthorized training on copyrighted music, record labels are now turning their attention to something far simpler: transparency. A coalition representing major record labels, artists, and music organizations wants streaming services such as Spotify and Apple Music to clearly tell listeners when a song has been created with artificial intelligence.

    The proposal, first reported by The Wall Street Journal, comes as AI-generated music becomes increasingly difficult to distinguish from songs created by human artists. Rather than banning AI music altogether, the industry is arguing that listeners deserve to know what they're hearing before they hit play.

    Your YouTube playlists can now become actual TV shows, but there’s a catch you need to know
    YouTube just gave Partner Program creators the episodic infrastructure that Netflix has been using to keep audiences hooked for years.

    YouTube just gave its creators a tool that streaming platforms take for granted. I’m talking about the ability to structure content as proper episodic TV. 

    If you're in the YouTube Partner Program and you’ve been organizing your videos into playlists while praying that the algorithm and your audience notice, then Shows is the upgrade you've been waiting for.

    Sony IER-M500 Launched Featured in use by artists

    Sony is officially back in the professional in-ear monitor (IEM) space. The company has announced the IER-M500, a new pair of stage-focused earphones designed for everyone from aspiring musicians to seasoned performers. Rather than chasing features like active noise cancellation or spatial audio for casual listening, the IER-M500 is built with one goal in mind: helping artists hear themselves clearly during live performances.
