Hey everyone! Haven’t confirmed this is ADS Pro, but the off-angle performance is very good - best yet from Hisense. So probably ADS Pro. A lot I couldn’t fit into this video - what else do you want to know? I’ll try to answer in this thread or in You Asked
Hello Caleb, does this review apply to the more affordable 98-inch UX, and how does this compare to the Bravia 9, LG G4 Oled and the S95D? Thanks for an excellent review.
As the others want to know, and yes I understand we can't really compare it to an 83" OLED or the 85" B9 but lets try, how is it in the contrast/blooming/blacklevel/blackbars departement against the best OLEDs and the B9?
@@CasepbX Maybe he could measure the average power consumption on the wall outlet and tell us the number, that's the energy (heat) that goes into the room.
A solid tour of this stunning "TV". Absolutely fascinating to see the progression of FPs in late 90s (commercial Panasonic) through 2000s, 2010s, and of late over the last 10 yrs. Thanks for the MASSIVE ;) effort! Well done.
TV's like this make me really excited for the future. Due to this tv's cost very few people will benefit from it directly, but it is pushing the entire industry further and eventually all of us will benefit. Bigger tv's will become more available and become cheaper, processing will get better, and mini-LED HDR impact will get even more impressive (OLED will stay mid). I'm looking forward to seeing how this will raise the level of more affordable tv's for the upcoming year.
This is my point exactly. Sure, not affordable to most folks now - but all the moonshot aspirational TVs start that way. We’re peering into the future here.
@@ighayinosayiindeed then 55” was expensive then it was 75 and now 75 is attainable for most so while i dont see tvs this size becoming norm i do see its price potentially falling to half their current pricing in 5yrs or so
Another excellent video as always! We got the 100u8k about a year or so ago based one of your reviews. It's been incredible and I never would have thought that something like a 100" Hisense (of all things) could make our outgoing 77" LG OLED look cheap and dated until I saw it on my own wall! If it wasn't for the online reviews I never would have developed the confidence to take that risk. So glad we did. If I can make one small request, will you please start providing the specs of the hardware these TVs have? Specifically processor/memory (SoC as they're called in the flat panel game) as this is literally what determines the user experience in terms of menu performance and just about everything else that determines if you're going to have a good time or not as an owner. You touched on how well this particular TV performed in that category but then failed to tell us what those specs where. Maybe a "nit-nerds" section in your videos needs to become a thing that talks about the specifics of the hardware itself. Too many manufacturers are cutting all of their corners in this area and I think it's because consumers haven't valued it historically. They can't be blamed, however, as this is an intentional ignorance and manufacturers realize that if they can keep the consumer dumb in this category it means a lot more money in their pockets. This idea that one MUST invest in an external streaming device as a blanket band-aid when then can simply invest the same (or less) money to upgrade the same components already in their smart TV needs to cease. I'd really appreciate if more reviewers would shine a light on the hardware (I know software matters too but 1) narrowing it down to a single variable rather than both aspects being unknown would be an improvement and 2) most TV manufacturers are running the same OS anyway save for a couple outliers who desperately cling to their ability to control ad revenue) to not only educate consumers so they can more accurately make a decision based on their own needs but also hold the manufacturers accountable for selecting the cheapest supplier of processors & RAM that couldn't power an iPhone 2 let alone the stuff we're asking these TVs to do today. Reviewers like yourself managed to cause a literal shift in the way PQ is addressed (especially in terms of brightness for HDR formats) so I have no doubts that this could be the next big focus shift that holds the most impact to the actual consumer and how they interact and experience their TV. Thanks!
@@HansAramburo which would be a non-issue if manufacturers kept up on their updates too. Face it, you're paying a premium for a Band-Aid fix that wouldn't be necessary if we can convince TV manufacturers to just build better devices.
$20,000? Forget it! Now when we look at the 98" UX for $5,000 currently at Best Buy? Then I say the more relevant review would be the 98" UX vs the LG QNED89T 98" for $5,000/$6,000 .. Caleb, that should be your next review!
20 years ago, in the early days of MCE we talked about the 10' experience using projectors, we are slowly getting to the point where projectors are pushed out of that conversation....
Did I miss how far away Caleb was sitting from the TV? Opinion on comfortable viewing distance? ... You're doing awesome work Caleb. I've got the 100U8K and sit 9'6" away.
9.6’ is too close . U need to move further . Otherwise ur eyes will over compensate to inwardly stretch backwards to focus . N slowly painlessly eyes will become slightly oval n -- short sighted. Gosh I hate to sound like a nag . Can u get tv stand n put d tv diff direction ? N move couch around ?
The star here is 98” UX - sure only 11k dimming zones and 5k nits but Best Buy already dropped price to 5k. If it has same ADS pro panel, wide angles, same processing - it’s a winner hands down
Hmmm! $20,000 USD for 110" or $3300 USD for the 100 inch Hisense U8N? The difference in price and performance does not justify the near $17,000 price difference so I will probably wait for the 98 inch TCL QM9 next year or hope that Sony comes out with a 98 inch Bravia 9!
Really great TV review. Currently have the 100" L5F Laser TV from Hisense and really love having the big screen for the price. I can't wait for when actual TV's get to the pricing of Laser TV's
As said in other review comments, a screenshot of a Kill-A-Watt (mainly for Wattage) during HDR scenes would tell us much more about how much heat this thing is radiating than random heat values (If anyone is putting this thing in their small 1 bedroom non A/C'ed apartment in the middle of July)
Pretty cool. I just bought a 65" Hisense TV, as my Sony TV died after 4 years, and I am happy with it. Entry level LED, so nothing fancy. And I got a Hisense soundbar and subwoffere system too. Happy with both. I do miss my Sony though :) .
To get the best brightness out of this (and other mini LED TVs) to ensure you are achieving the recorded content’s nit level, does the brightness need to be turned up 100%, or is this unnecessary / will this affect black levels? I’m basically trying to achieve the deepest black I can but ensuring the high brightness scenes are as bright as they can possibly be. Cheers! Love your channel!
Wow. I’ve been overall happy with my 100u8k except the only thing I dislike about it is the matte screen. May have to keep an eye out for when this inevitably goes on steep discount!
I'm seeing this tv on my 1080p 24 fps Sharp Aquos, and that tv looks real good, but I did notice some judder in the motion on one of the sample videos you ran.20,000 dollars is out of my park though...lololol. Great video show.
Stand-wise, that's why I made my own stand from lumber and bricks for my 85" Hisense. It looks pretty good, cost about 100$, has room for all my electronics and speakers, and has a very neutral viewing angle since it's totally custom. It's the second time I've done this and I recommend it. It might seem ghetto, but it really isn't assuming you carefully plan it out and select wood and such to look nice. Ain't no way I was spending hundreds and hundreds for a merely mediocre cabinet/stand that put the tv above my eyeline.
So it costs about the same a plasma screen did in 2001 at a whopping 42 inches and very dim and low contrast picture quality. I herald tv's like this because it only means they will come down in price over the next few years and that's certainly true for sizes in between like 77 / 85 or 98 inch.
Yeah, it's expensive, but every new TV technology or "huge" sized set starts off expensive. For the five people that can afford it, this review is super helpful today. For the rest of us, it gives us an idea of what to look forward to in normal TVs over t he next few years.
Not sure how much brighter tv manufacturers want their TVs to go? We were in a pub at the weekend that had a huge tv on the wall & every time the sports channel went to the ads they threw up a white splash screen, seared our eyes. Ended up hiding round the corner to avoid it, then left 😂 plenty of other pubs 🍻
@@paulcox2447 You don't havo to. Just use standard mode and adjust the brightness. You can do that in sports mode too. And adjust the color balance because in Sports it will be far too blue and that also overbrightens the picture.
19:59 Someone get this man a Kill A Watt so he can actually tell us how much of a space heater these giant TVs are. Any watts of electricity are going to become watts of heat in that room one way or another (except for the sound, I guess).
Hey Caleb I have the 100 u76n. Will you be reviewing it? I've had it simce February. I bought an Apple 4k TV due to the lag of the processor. Now it's amazing.
Hey Caleb. I'm sure you get this question often but do you think that color accuracy matters for regular consumers? I am assuming (maybe incorrectly) that a saturated, colorful image might not be completely accurate but may still be satisfying to a regular viewer. Just wondering if you think it's a deal breaker between two TVs.
It absolutely matters. Yes, some people prefer the more saturated/colorful image (which is fine) but others like myself prefer the accurate picture. I have a Panasonic OLED (EU model) that is dead-on accurate in SDR Filmmaker Mode and that's a _joy_ to watch. Another might prefer a thickly saturated bright colorful picture, even if inaccurate, like for instance Samsung might offer. Point is, why choose when a tv can offer both? That's what settings are for.
Seen review and angles very good just toned down a bit - 11k zones and 5k nits brightness - which still is plenty I think. I would hope processing side should not be different and seen it actually had more accurate filmmaker mode
I have seen both the Hisense 110" review as well as the TCL 115" review. If I were looking to purchase one or the other, which one would you recommend? Is the longevity on one brand better than the other? One is indicating 5000 Nits brightness while the other is touting 10,000 Nits of brightness. Is the higher brightness worth the loss of the 5"? Appreciate all your reviews!
I have seen the -- ADS Pro panels in store ( 3 diff times ) 2 Hisense U8K 75” then Samsung Qn90C ! It’s diff type of Gloss , they r black gloss that does NOT reflect light ! It absorbs most of light 💡 ( u see the LED don’t have fuzz on the screen ! ) When day time any OLED , or OLED there is natural light can bounce back to creat pale halo 😇. That black screen is CLEAN !!!! U see NOTHING ! He has HUGE studio light X2 right towards TV n the screen is incky black ‘ In a day time , or Night time with lights on, that thing when playing dark or dim imaage it looks like Star ⭐️ trek Portal . I can never 👎🏻 look at VA panel ever again once I saw ADS-Pro. Its black , vibrant wet paint . N it’s 180 degree viewing angle. 📐 TCL is VA panel , will have 🌈 smear .
Maybe some of those improvements has trickled down to 85UX updates? It was dinged for color inaccuracy 8 months ago, but the one I purchased recently for peanuts looked dang accurate and impressive. X93L next to it definitely lacked color volume and looked pedestrian.
I second your comments about bringing the processing of this TV down to the U8 model for sure. The big thing holding me back from considering Hisense has been the inferior picture processing compared to Sony. Are you listening Hisense? My other concern with Hisense is reliability.
They inferior processing is Told around . Most images r absolutely superior. I own 2 U8s (before that I had $5000 LED ) . U hear a lot of noise n u buy the Hisense U8, waiting for bad image to pop up cuz u hear so much . Just nothing ! The processing matches Samsung on motion n upscaling yearly . It’s like In dating there is SMV . Ppl focus on “sports “ “ Abbs” arm muscles 💪🏻. Most ppl will take a Stacy over normie Becky who’s professional trainer . If a Jealous friend tells around”oh that girl u like is Not as fit as me “ “oh that girl is not active doesn’t do much sports .” Human brain 🧠 will fill in d GAP to imagine it’s SO MUCH worse like the Stacy is Lazy or boring . The “Sony Better Upscaling “ is up sell pitch (I took marketing school ) . Human will create tier/experience by imagination 💭 being told by Key words . 😊
10:45 Isn't that standard stuff anyway? When calibrating monitors, I always leave them on for like 15 minutes first. Isn't that normal with TV calibration?
$20K but it is still a Hisense. I guess if you can drop that much on a TV replacing it in 5 years would not be a concern. Still I was impressed at how much you were impressed.

I will stick to my 2200 lumen UST laser 4k projector and light rejecting 100" screen ( Hisense alr hard frenal screen ). I can go up to 150" with a simple upgrade.
In most rooms this tv would not look good because it would overwhelm the room. But in reality you need a picture size like this one to really have a cinematic experience. So...projectors are the way to go!
I mean...my Quest 3 gives me like a 200 inch screen pretty much where I want it that I can move from room to room or go outside with for $500. It's not as ultra high def...but it's fun to watch football on.
Very nice if you have a room large enough to watch it at a sensible distance. The rest of us have to buy the more sensible sizes at a price we can afford. Would i buy one err i doubt it, i have to repair the lower models that Hisense make and the fact that they glue the panel in place and reflective sheet to the backlights makes them a nightmare and very expensive in terms of parts prices. Good luck to those than can afford one, just make sure it comes with a long warranty.
cut this tv into quadrants and thats 1080p at 55 inches and a 55 inch 4k TV will look sharper than this does by a lot. Thats a simple way of representing the screen space area.
@@paulc5389 What blind test performed by who? Doesn’t even matter the angle if you have a 85inch 4K and 85inch 8K side by side you will notice the uptick in clarity. I have both. Only time I wouldn’t notice is when I’m watching them alone which is obviously understandable.
Thanks Caleb. I have 2 questions: 1. Is this the "best" mini-LED on the market today? In other words, is it the ultimate mini-LED that outshines the Bravia 9 in terms of IQ? 2. For the same price, would you take this TV or the 97" G4 OLED (only OLED at the 100" class or larger)?
why are the important measures compared to only Hisense products ? No comparison with Samsung, sony, LG... So ok it's the best upsacaling for an Hisense TV... I wish I could compare that to the other makers processing.
If only we could blow up the S24 ultra screen to a bigger size. The anti reflection coating I mean. I'd still rather have a bunch of mini LED zones over OLED. We need micro LED with lower chances of burn in before I go away from LCD
100" plus TV's...my biggest concern is how we will deal with them few years down the road - selling, replacing etc This is not 65" TV that you can put in SUV and drive away..... I think I stick to UST Laser TV
Nice when it comes to the size 110 is awesome but the brand I don’t think so no not for me I can see people buying this TV getting it home. Turn it on excited and when they see the picture quality they probably wish they wouldn’t have bought it.
I thought dynamic tone mapping had more to do with shadow and contrast detail through proper darkening based on meta data that is adjusted scene by scene. The way he is saying turn it off haphazardly seems different from what I've heard previously since there will be lost detail of shadows and contrast. Seems like the term has a different definition on this tv.
I didn’t talk about the dynamic contrast setting. I talked about dynamic tone mapping. Is that what you mean? Because dynamic tone mapping basically says “hey, I’m going to more or less ignore you now” to the HDR metadata
At 110" I find any real attempt at audio silly. Just throw an old motherboard speaker in the frame for testing purposes. Who in the world would buy this thing and not use an external audio device? Clearly, money, space and electricity consumption are not the issue for the buyer of this product.
Too much of a hassle for casual tv viewing, additional equipment and maintenance. This is a one size fits all (pun not intended) solution that delivers excellent quality and is certainly brighter than a projector so not limited to a darkened dedicated room. For most people it's simply the better deal. The masses always choose convenience and cheaper over quality but expensive. That's a bit of a stretch with a very expensive tv like tv's but you get what I mean and these prices will come down quickly in the next few years. And nobody's stopping you from continuing to use your projector is you're an aficionado.
Does anyone have any good recommendations for settings that would help with migraines, I have a Bravia 7 and I'm not sure what settings to adjust that may help with avoiding headaches and I'm only usually putting in cinema mode which I don't think is the maxed out brightness it can get? Should motion be completely turned off?
20,000 nope no way I’d rather go with LG and pay the extra for a quality premium picture quality performing TV not for Hesson I got that $20,000 price from one of the other reviewers in the comment section no way I wouldn’t do it But for others hey I hope you like it. Enjoy it.
