Hisense held a two-day event in London at the site of John Logie Baird's 1926 TV demo, celebrating 100 years of television and unveiling its new RGB MiniLED technology.

To mark a century since John Logie Baird's pioneering public television demonstration, Hisense staged a celebration at the historic 22 Frith Street address and at The Now Building in Outernet London on 24 and 25 October. The event, titled "Celebrating 100 Years of Television. Hisense, the Origin of RGB MiniLED," offered a guided "London Walk through TV History" linking key sites, complimentary coffee at Bar Italia, and souvenir giveaways.
