Display and Visuals
At the heart of these new televisions lies Haier’s AI Ultra Sense processor, which powers the AI Picture Quality engine. This system constantly analyzes content and adjusts visuals in real time. AI Scene Detection, for instance, recognizes elements such as faces, skies, or even food, fine-tuning color and sharpness accordingly. Features like AI-Color Boost Pro enhance saturation, AI-HDR Enhancer Pro improves contrast, while AI-SR upscales lower-resolution content to near-4K quality.
The QD Mini LED panels allow for precise control of brightness, resulting in deep blacks and brighter highlights. The 75-inch M92, for example, includes up to 576 independent dimming zones. With coverage of 99% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, the TVs meet cinema-grade standards. The addition of Dolby Vision IQ and HDR10+ Adaptive further refines visuals by adjusting brightness and contrast depending on the room’s lighting conditions.
The M96 series goes a step further with a low-reflectance screen (just 2%) and a wide 178-degree viewing angle, designed to maintain clarity in almost any environment.
Audio System
Sound has been a big focus here. Haier worked with KEF, the British audio company, to build customized speaker systems for the new lineup. The M92 comes with a 2.1-channel setup, while the larger M96 offers a more immersive 6.2.2-channel system. Both include a dedicated subwoofer to deliver rich, deep bass.
Dolby Atmos support ensures a more three-dimensional listening experience, while Haier’s Total Sonics technology improves voice clarity and creates a sense of virtual surround sound.
Gaming and Smart Features
Haier clearly has gamers in mind with these TVs. Both the M92 and M96 support a 144Hz refresh rate, ensuring smoother motion during fast-paced action. On top of that, there is support for Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM), and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, all working together to cut down input lag and eliminate screen tearing. A dedicated Game Mode and Dolby Vision Gaming enhance visuals during play, and HDMI 2.1 ensures compatibility with the latest consoles.
The TVs also feature 4GB RAM and 64GB storage, which should be enough for apps and smooth system performance. Running on Google TV, the interface gives access to a wide range of streaming services and apps. Google Assistant is built-in for voice navigation, while Haier’s HaiSmart ecosystem allows the TV to function as a smart home hub, controlling compatible connected devices.
For wireless screen projection, Haier includes HaiCast, letting users easily cast from Android devices and PCs.
Design and Warranty
On the design front, the TVs are sleek, nearly bezel-less, and boast an impressive 98% screen-to-body ratio. The stand has two adjustable height settings, which is handy for those who want to place a soundbar underneath or prefer a more minimalist look.
Haier is also backing the new series with a 3-year warranty, which adds an extra layer of reassurance for buyers.
