Hisense RGB MiniLED screen in the VAR World Cup 2026 room

This month, the 2026 FIFA World Cup has been exciting, from the opening match to the semi-finals. Besides some dramatic football scenes, from the perspective of a technology enthusiast, I pay more attention to the screen system used in the VAR room and broadcast station. This time, Hisense continues to be the official sponsor of the World Cup for the third consecutive year, but what I find most impressive is that their RGB MiniLED screen technology is directly supporting the referee in making important decisions right on the field.

Personally, I find that the application of high-resolution screens in sports is no longer strange, but in the VAR room of this World Cup, the requirements are much stricter. Video referees must constantly review each camera angle at extremely fast speed to detect fake falls, offsides or hidden fouls. Hisense's RGB MiniLED screen uses independent RGB color light sources, providing a wider color range than traditional backlight technology, combined with a high scanning frequency to reduce motion blur when replaying high-speed football.

Personally, I think technology has helped raise the accuracy and fairness of the match to a new level, avoiding unnecessary controversies. FIFA's commercial representative, Mr. Nick Brown, also commented that this is a big step forward to help support referees and improve the experience for both players and viewers.

Not only serving in the VAR room, Hisense also cooperates with the International Media Center (IBC) in Dallas to broadcast the tournament worldwide. They installed hundreds of screens here to handle slow-motion video editing and coordinate camera flow. Conveying the biggest sporting event on the planet with accurate colors and high detail in every camera angle is not a simple technical challenge.

The beauty is that this RGB MiniLED technology is not only framed in specialized computer rooms, but the company also commercializes it for individual users. Recently, they have also organized several practical experience events in World Cup host countries.

Those in New York can visit Hudson Yards to watch the 116-inch UX and 85-inch UR9 TVs, or experience digital jersey testing through RGB Chromagic technology in collaboration with adidas and FIFA. At Fan Festival locations in Mexico City or Toronto, there is also a 116-inch UXS RGB MiniLED flagship TV model on display with some quite interesting gesture-controlled games.
