VIDAA, the smart TV platform majority-owned by Hisense, has achieved the highest overall score in smart TV operating system speed tests conducted by Germany’s WEKA Media Publishing, according to the manufacturer.

The manufacturer says VIDAA recorded the fastest response in seven of 11 categories and received an overall performance rating of 89%.

Testing covered everyday tasks including launching apps, carrying out voice searches, switching HDMI inputs and navigating streaming channels.

The results put the focus on interface responsiveness as TV manufacturers compete to simplify access to streaming, broadcast and gaming services.

VIDAA offers access to services including Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, Apple TV and Rakuten TV, alongside Freely and sports platforms such as DAZN. Hisense also highlights support for the Xbox Cloud Gaming app on compatible televisions.

Robert Andrews, Head of Strategy & GTM – TV at Hisense UK, said: “This independent recognition for VIDAA OS is an endorsement of the work the VIDAA team has done to ensure Hisense TVs deliver a seamless entertainment experience, putting the content and features consumers love right at their fingertips.”

Hisense says it will continue investing in the platform’s technology and user experience.
