Message from China, X11G is primarily sold in offline stores, resulting in minimal online purchases from online stores like Taobao or JD, in fact, there are a lot of customers who actually purchase this particular model. Since it is sold in offline stores, you have a good chance to negotiate and bring the price down. In the case of the 115" X11G, you can actually get a deal for $9,100(65,000 CNY). If it's the more common and practical 85" X11G, then you can get your hands on it for just $2300 (but with the Dimming Zones scaled down to 5000+).

Panasonic made a 103" Plasma in the mid 2000s that I installed at least half a dozen of in South Florida alone. Those were ~600+ lbs IIRC, needed it's own reinforced wall, was ~$100k with wall mount and needed a dedicated 220v circuit.

@@SinaMorovatiYour mind's already in too deep on western propaganda. The government doesn't really care about people's small stuff like that. There are far too many people and far too many bigger problems to take care of.
Word of warning from a former commercial signage person: Many TVs do not like being balanced on the edge of their screen. Especially in the commercial space, and extra super especially with screens larger than 40" (which is most commercial signage screens). Putting pressure, especially the weight of the TV, on the bezel will destroy the screen in a fraction of a second. Things to know for home installation. That's why most competent installers work in pairs and carry at the corners/rear of the screen and only hold the top/sides of the screen itself.
I've rolled my 77" screen onto its edge to mess around with the back for several minutes, forget fractions of seconds, and it's still fine. Good to know that it can cause severe issues, though. Is it only the worst issue on hard floors maybe? Safer on carpet like they had there (and a rug like I had)?
If you carry it flat as if it were a laptop increases pressure in the middle and could potentially brake the TV, which is why they hold it in the upright postion like @feyntmistral1110 said
They made a really good point comparing to a projector, basically if you want a massive screen anywhere but a dark light controled room, this actually makes perfect sense. Like if you had a huge living room with a lot of windows, a projector would get washed out in the day from the sunlight
@@davidmontroy3408 projectors and screens still inherently can only get so bright while maintaining contrast before you start getting into projectors that BY THEMSELVES can be nearly $15K or more. Considering a 55" TV that's $3K for extremely good picture quality isn't unusual, this is actually a damn good deal.
@@davidmontroy3408 Sure, but a nice 4K projector with a good screen won't be that much cheaper and the image won't be nearly as bright anyway. If this was readily available, it would be a no-brainer for someone planning a high-end home theater.
@@davidmontroy3408 and then you can only watch it in the dark, and then the wife bitches about not being able to open the windows to look at a ugly ass road for some reason, and then the projector as a tv is never a great option, ect ect ect. this just solved every issue at once in a far cleaner package.
100% agree with you guys about these being competition for projectors once people actually do the math on a projector. In the next few years, these things will replace projectors. I was considering a projector/screen setup but due to room geometry issues I started looking at TVs. Ultimately i went with an 85" as it was $10,000 less than the same panel 100" TV with a plan to replace the 85" TV when a 100"-115" TV is $2-3k. I think this will happen in the next 4-5 years.
Do not agree at all. A decent projector with a 110" screen is about $4500 US, and you can go to a bigger screen at will. An LCD is NOT scalable like a UST is and also you need to take particular care in not getting cracked by installing it or just day to day use. I would rather a kid throw a matchbox car at a stretched screen and have it bounce off than crack an LCD that size.
I ordered a VOPLLS Mini Projector so I could project an appropriately sized image at various locations before I order and install a new TV. Much easier to move around the tripod and projector than the TV.
In China, with the government's 20% trade-in subsidy, you can buy a 100-inch Hisense or Skyworth TV for as little as $1,000, with configurations of 192-224 light-control zones, 4+128g storage, 4k 144hz
Buying a MiniLED TV in China, for example, Skyworth A5D Pro 100 inches, the current price is 12999 RMB (1828 USD), with 1152 backlight zones, 2500 nits brightness, and Harman Kardon 2.1.2 built-in speakers. For example, the popular TCL Q9K 98 inches, which uses MiniLED 1536 zone backlight, 2400 nits brightness, QLED quantum dots, 2.1.2 channels, the bare machine price is 15499 RMB (2180 USD)
it's actually not a big deal, just another account, but instead of login with Google, you log in with your phone number, which is pretty standard in China. way more convenient to reset the password XD
Installing our 85” tv with my dad has been one of the hardest things i’ve done, both logistically and physically. We set it up and then saw that the manual said you needed 4 people to move it around
@@emiliano108 Thanks! I have a way of finding out that i should have started with more help after getting too far into things to get the help. Congrads on the TV
Well, as mentioned in the video, the TV comes with free installation in China. why? Because most households in China lives in apartments, and this TV is simply too big to fit into elevators, so for installing the TV, you need to remove your windows (yes, and they are usually as big as a wall, from the celling to the floor) then hire a crane to deliever the TV through the empty windows...
I doubt people living in small apartments would be buying these beast. These are really geared to the very rich people with large mansions in China. Having free installation for large electronics or machines are a usual thing in every big buy stuff.
@@heretic124 In China, there are large apartments also, known as "large flat", which can be even more expensive than regular villas. In any case, moving such a large TV in requires a crane, as it's not possible to use an elevator
@@inisipisTV You don't have any idea of how much more expensive a mansion is compared to an apartment in China, and actually, 'apartment' is not a word asociated with 'small' and 'cheap' here. There're 'apartments' cost more than 1 billion RMB, and the average price for a 100-square-meter apartment in Shanghai is around 5 million RMB. So, if you really really want a TV of this size, not saying everyone would do so, 100k RMB isn't that out of reach for most middle-class households, its price is just as the same as a brand new 23 Nissan Sylphy, it's simply a matter of choice, a car or a gigantic TV. And in fact, there were news that they installed TVs of 95 inches through the window like that, and also another news where a very famous rich second generation bought a Sony 100-inches TV for 0.5 million back in 2017, believe it or not, what I said are all simple facts.
What's crazy, is I remember my dad paid like $12k back in the 90s for a rear projector 65inch, which at that time size was nearly unheard of back then. This is pretty close to the same price (not accounting for inflation) and is double the size!
65 inch is still very big, but accesible these days, i just bought a 65 inch QLED TV and it was around 580$ in Costa Rica, in my room it fills the gap between the 2 wall front speakers i have installed, so I'm maxed out, I can't imagine how 65" would have felt 30 years ago. To think that it took 30 years for TVs to be accessible, that projector was worth it.
More than a decade ago I did see in person a 120" TV. I think it was from Panasonic and it was only full HD. I was looking at it and thinking who the f* has that amount of space. Edit: I just remember that the screen did "fit" in the electronics store. Basically floor to ceiling. It was at Best Denki at the Parkway Parade branch in Singapore.
This brings me back to the DLP tv days, I remember having a TV this big in my living room as a kid, granted it was 3 to 4 times thicker. but it's basically what a Large DLP was, which was pretty common in well to do households in the late 80's - 90's kind of fizzled out in the early 00's. TV's this size were mainly meant for having "Theatre" experiences at home so Basically Projector replacements like they said towards the end of the video which is funny considering the DLP had a built in projector(s)
@@mattgarside7181 It's either the 102" or the 150". Couldn't find details of a 120" either, so that's not it. But then it's over 10 years ago, should be in the 2000s.
Diagonal measurement is actually completely linear with both width and height, provided the aspect ratio is the same. What's not linear is the surface areas and volume. But a TV with twice the width also has twice the diameter.
He was showing that the area (which is what we perceive as size) is non-linear with diagonal measurement. You dont have to be pedantic when the message that was trying to be conveyed was conveyed well.
@@dajetfan97No and you're wrong. I'm not being pedantic, he said this multiple times and it's not because he's talking about area vs diameter. He's simply wrong. That happens sometimes. He's talking about size. And it's not area. It's not volume. It's width and height he's talking about. He just didn't understand the math part and got it in his head at some point that width or height aren't linear to diameter. That's fine, that's human. But that's also wrong. And he's spreading that wrongness around.

TCL will release its upcoming 115" television with miniledbacklight "around May" in the Benelux. The television will have a suggested retail price of 19,999 euros upon release.
..But how good the brand TCL is in comparison to SONY. .when it's comes to TV ?..Can you explain a bit ?... Asking this cuz I'm planning to buy a TLC tv this year on Christmas... .
$13,000 is a huge improvement over what something like that used to cost. Some years ago I saw a 100” LCD TV at Fry’s Electronics the was selling for $99,999.99.
For anyone: Get a projector and a white wall and also enjoy a biiiig video screen area, without the need for a screen. Yes, it's not really the same, but you can enjoy a movie on a big wall, maybe even bigger than this TV set in the video ;-)
The studs are holding the entire wall up, and if it's an exterior wall, they're also holding the floor above and the roof. Another 200kg for a TV is not even a rounding error. If the mounting hardware doesn't fall on stud layout, that's a minor complication; they'd just need to install something like a french cleat to the studs and then the TV to that.
I work with calibrating tvs etc and me and my colleagues did a 98'' TCL,we needed 4 people to even get it out of the box and having the lens reaching mid screen needed 2x USB extension cables. Also the new LG Oleds come with 144hz so i think it will become the norm soon,was not expecting a 115'' TCL to have 144hz tho.
Wait. Does people actually watch Netflix when they invite someone to "Netflix and chill"? 👀 Better make sure to ask about the right streaming service then. You wouldn't want the evening ruined by "I thought you said NETFLIX and chill, not HBO/Amazon Prime/etc and chill... I'm sorry, I need to go..."
I rock a TCL 55R655 TV as my center monitor (About 3-4 feet away from me with a 40 inch deep desk). That TV is 4K, 144hz, Mini-LED QLED. It came out in 2022, so predates the 144hz capability on the TV in this video. It hits around 1600nits sustained brightness in a 25% window. I love this thing for gaming, especially proper HDR titles, and at the 600 USD price range its better than a lot of the 32" monitors out there with a similar spec sheet. I'd love to see a video about this or the newer QM8 series from TCL when it comes to gaming!
I have the 98" TV from TCL and it was around 200lbs in the box. Out of the box, you need two strong people to move it around. Can't imagine 115". It's a novelty at this size, materials need to lighten up A LOT before this beats out projectors in theater rooms.
Remember me when I unpacked the 83" C1 OLED from LG when it arrived at home… gigantic. And I’d got one small problem : it was impossible to lift it to the 2nd floor, the stairs were too narrow. Had to hire a crane to make it go upstairs and pass it through the window 😅
After going the route of projector, I'll never go back. The convenience of installing and moving it around, compared to the size of screen, is a worthwhile tradeoff for my family.

The TV so big, grown ups feel they are so small, they go back to their childhood.
Word of warning from a former commercial signage person: Many TVs do not like being balanced on the edge of their screen. Especially in the commercial space, and extra super especially with screens larger than 40" (which is most commercial signage screens). Putting pressure, especially the weight of the TV, on the bezel will destroy the screen in a fraction of a second.
Things to know for home installation. That's why most competent installers work in pairs and carry at the corners/rear of the screen and only hold the top/sides of the screen itself.
I've rolled my 77" screen onto its edge to mess around with the back for several minutes, forget fractions of seconds, and it's still fine. Good to know that it can cause severe issues, though.
Is it only the worst issue on hard floors maybe? Safer on carpet like they had there (and a rug like I had)?
this thing has a full outer frame, it has handle ports on the edges, it's fine.
I literally dropped my 65 inch LG CX screen hit the floor and nothing happened. I have it for 4 years
If you carry it flat as if it were a laptop increases pressure in the middle and could potentially brake the TV, which is why they hold it in the upright postion like @feyntmistral1110 said
*$13k isn't really that bad. I remember when Plasma tvs for came out they were $15k-$20k*

13k in 3 years it will be 3k?
Yeah, I’m actually wildly surprised it’s not muchhhh more expensive than that
13k today was about 7k back then
They made a really good point comparing to a projector, basically if you want a massive screen anywhere but a dark light controled room, this actually makes perfect sense. Like if you had a huge living room with a lot of windows, a projector would get washed out in the day from the sunlight
In that particular case, you could buy some damn nice curtains for $13,000
@@davidmontroy3408 projectors and screens still inherently can only get so bright while maintaining contrast before you start getting into projectors that BY THEMSELVES can be nearly $15K or more. Considering a 55" TV that's $3K for extremely good picture quality isn't unusual, this is actually a damn good deal.
@@davidmontroy3408 Sure, but a nice 4K projector with a good screen won't be that much cheaper and the image won't be nearly as bright anyway. If this was readily available, it would be a no-brainer for someone planning a high-end home theater.

@alidan you sound unhappy 🙁
100% agree with you guys about these being competition for projectors once people actually do the math on a projector. In the next few years, these things will replace projectors. I was considering a projector/screen setup but due to room geometry issues I started looking at TVs. Ultimately i went with an 85" as it was $10,000 less than the same panel 100" TV with a plan to replace the 85" TV when a 100"-115" TV is $2-3k. I think this will happen in the next 4-5 years.
Projectors will have to come down in price. But yeah eventually they won’t be able to compete.
Do not agree at all. A decent projector with a 110" screen is about $4500 US, and you can go to a bigger screen at will. An LCD is NOT scalable like a UST is and also you need to take particular care in not getting cracked by installing it or just day to day use. I would rather a kid throw a matchbox car at a stretched screen and have it bounce off than crack an LCD that size.
I ordered a VOPLLS Mini Projector so I could project an appropriately sized image at various locations before I order and install a new TV. Much easier to move around the tripod and projector than the TV.
In China, with the government's 20% trade-in subsidy, you can buy a 100-inch Hisense or Skyworth TV for as little as $1,000, with configurations of 192-224 light-control zones, 4+128g storage, 4k 144hz
Buying a MiniLED TV in China, for example, Skyworth A5D Pro 100 inches, the current price is 12999 RMB (1828 USD), with 1152 backlight zones, 2500 nits brightness, and Harman Kardon 2.1.2 built-in speakers. For example, the popular TCL Q9K 98 inches, which uses MiniLED 1536 zone backlight, 2400 nits brightness, QLED quantum dots, 2.1.2 channels, the bare machine price is 15499 RMB (2180 USD)

Well, as mentioned in the video, the TV comes with free installation in China. why? Because most households in China lives in apartments, and this TV is simply too big to fit into elevators, so for installing the TV, you need to remove your windows (yes, and they are usually as big as a wall, from the celling to the floor) then hire a crane to deliever the TV through the empty windows...
I doubt people living in small apartments would be buying these beast. These are really geared to the very rich people with large mansions in China. Having free installation for large electronics or machines are a usual thing in every big buy stuff.
I would doubt it will be free to remove the window and rent a crane and put the window back. 10k CNY at least for doing those things
Who the fuck would buy $13 000 TV while living in a small apartment. People buying this have villas and drive Bentleys.
@@heretic124 In China, there are large apartments also, known as "large flat", which can be even more expensive than regular villas. In any case, moving such a large TV in requires a crane, as it's not possible to use an elevator
@@inisipisTV You don't have any idea of how much more expensive a mansion is compared to an apartment in China, and actually, 'apartment' is not a word asociated with 'small' and 'cheap' here. There're 'apartments' cost more than 1 billion RMB, and the average price for a 100-square-meter apartment in Shanghai is around 5 million RMB. So, if you really really want a TV of this size, not saying everyone would do so, 100k RMB isn't that out of reach for most middle-class households, its price is just as the same as a brand new 23 Nissan Sylphy, it's simply a matter of choice, a car or a gigantic TV. And in fact, there were news that they installed TVs of 95 inches through the window like that, and also another news where a very famous rich second generation bought a Sony 100-inches TV for 0.5 million back in 2017, believe it or not, what I said are all simple facts.

What's crazy, is I remember my dad paid like $12k back in the 90s for a rear projector 65inch, which at that time size was nearly unheard of back then. This is pretty close to the same price (not accounting for inflation) and is double the size!
65 inch is still very big, but accesible these days, i just bought a 65 inch QLED TV and it was around 580$ in Costa Rica, in my room it fills the gap between the 2 wall front speakers i have installed, so I'm maxed out, I can't imagine how 65" would have felt 30 years ago. To think that it took 30 years for TVs to be accessible, that projector was worth it.
If that TV was 16:9 (although it was probably 4:3) then 115" is actually quadruple the screen size.
@iDrunkRS yep was only 4:3 so you are right!. Was certainly a lot thickener though.
Who is your dad I want to know?
Well with inflation thats like 25.000$ now or something. He must have really loved film hahaha
When it takes you 3.5 seconds to walk from one end of your TV to the other you KNOW you've arrived!!!!
More than a decade ago I did see in person a 120" TV. I think it was from Panasonic and it was only full HD. I was looking at it and thinking who the f* has that amount of space. Edit: I just remember that the screen did "fit" in the electronics store. Basically floor to ceiling. It was at Best Denki at the Parkway Parade branch in Singapore.
This brings me back to the DLP tv days, I remember having a TV this big in my living room as a kid, granted it was 3 to 4 times thicker. but it's basically what a Large DLP was, which was pretty common in well to do households in the late 80's - 90's kind of fizzled out in the early 00's.
TV's this size were mainly meant for having "Theatre" experiences at home so Basically Projector replacements like they said towards the end of the video which is funny considering the DLP had a built in projector(s)
And it was plasma
@kawag2780 are you sure that wasn't a 102" one? I remember everyone going crazy over a 102 but can't remember a 120.
And also, for those sizes a high lumen 8k projector is a very viable alternative and probably cheaper.
@@mattgarside7181 It's either the 102" or the 150". Couldn't find details of a 120" either, so that's not it. But then it's over 10 years ago, should be in the 2000s.

Diagonal measurement is actually completely linear with both width and height, provided the aspect ratio is the same. What's not linear is the surface areas and volume. But a TV with twice the width also has twice the diameter.
yea your right. they should have said square inches of screen. good catch NERD. (a compliment)
He was showing that the area (which is what we perceive as size) is non-linear with diagonal measurement. You dont have to be pedantic when the message that was trying to be conveyed was conveyed well.
@@dajetfan97No and you're wrong. I'm not being pedantic, he said this multiple times and it's not because he's talking about area vs diameter. He's simply wrong. That happens sometimes. He's talking about size. And it's not area. It's not volume. It's width and height he's talking about. He just didn't understand the math part and got it in his head at some point that width or height aren't linear to diameter. That's fine, that's human. But that's also wrong. And he's spreading that wrongness around.

Lmao u dont hang TV's from the drywall, that would be moronic. U hang it from the studs, which can easily hold 200+kg.
The studs are holding the entire wall up, and if it's an exterior wall, they're also holding the floor above and the roof. Another 200kg for a TV is not even a rounding error. If the mounting hardware doesn't fall on stud layout, that's a minor complication; they'd just need to install something like a french cleat to the studs and then the TV to that.

I rock a TCL 55R655 TV as my center monitor (About 3-4 feet away from me with a 40 inch deep desk). That TV is 4K, 144hz, Mini-LED QLED. It came out in 2022, so predates the 144hz capability on the TV in this video. It hits around 1600nits sustained brightness in a 25% window. I love this thing for gaming, especially proper HDR titles, and at the 600 USD price range its better than a lot of the 32" monitors out there with a similar spec sheet. I'd love to see a video about this or the newer QM8 series from TCL when it comes to gaming!
12 years ago I had a 32" TV as monitor but it was terrible for text and fine detail. Maybe modern TVs and high resolution has less of this issue.
“You can’t use that it needs a flared base.” 😂😂
Always gotta have a flared base!
I have the 98" TV from TCL and it was around 200lbs in the box. Out of the box, you need two strong people to move it around. Can't imagine 115". It's a novelty at this size, materials need to lighten up A LOT before this beats out projectors in theater rooms.

After going the route of projector, I'll never go back. The convenience of installing and moving it around, compared to the size of screen, is a worthwhile tradeoff for my family.
