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.
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.

Caleb, you and Linus are a bad influence on me! lol I didn't know this thing existed until you guys reviewed it and I just had to go out and buy it! It's legit the most amazing viewing experience I've had, bar none! The projector room I had can't touch this. Bravia 9, LG G4, etc also can't touch this. (I've tried every hype TV on the market) Way to go Hisense! You've gained my respect! The only negative I have is that I can see the speakers on the side. Most of us who own this TV would NEVER use the speakers in it! Ideally they'd be not visible or removable since they're an eye sore.
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....
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.
Given that the target customer base for this TV will entirely opt for better sound systems, it seems silly for them to allow the speakers to affect the aesthetics. They could cut the price by $1000 off the bat and make it look so much better to have some low end speakers in there just for the sake of having some sort of audio, and focus on making it lighter weight, slightly less expensive, and aesthetically the best it can be
$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!
The 98" UX is incredible, especially for the price (get it if you can!). I bought that one first and loved it until my wife told me to get the 110" UX, that's how good these TVs are!
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
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!

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 :) .
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 $17,000 price difference so I will probably wait for the 98 inch TCL QM9 next year or hope that Sony comes out with a 98 inch Bravia 9!
Stand-wise, that's why I made my own stand from lumber and bricks for my 85" Hisense. It looks pretty good, cost about 100$, 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.
What height do you shoot for, I read however you sit the stand should put middle of tv panel in line with your eyes. That said you see a lot of home users and reviews with setups where they are looking to and display.
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
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).
Disagree w Caleb on the better than MicroLed statement, although I am a big fan...microled prices for mass market are 10 years from being affordable...the tech and picture are jaw dropping. A great substitute would be a 97 inch Sony A95L qd oled w 8k, now that's a dream TV.
@billyr6125 For life size experience I'm stepping up size from OLED which for detail is a hard choice. If Hisense lets in their 110" 8k to the USA this yr I'm excited. This month Luna Wall 163" has a 75% price drop down to $60k so if that happens another time we'd be in OLED price range; still only 4k thou sucks!
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!
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.
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.
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)
Hisense needs to improve on its warranty, one or two years on a television that cost thousands should have at least a Five Year Warranty. Hisense isn't the only one guilty of short warranties so is Samsung, Sony and so on.
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 ?
@@JoshBlazek hey 10’6” r good . Just not for Fast moving like 3 hr sports or Gamming tho. Look for Vivo, or Fitueyes. Those r super reputable Tv stands (Metal ). I had issues with space , those r god sent . I got 1 tv at Corner 45% now . N d other one I move around . I saw Samsung 98” tv in store today surprisingly good around 10’. For News , Netflix etc . Cable network …. Just be careful when watching RUclips, also long fast moving sports . Human eyes r not meant to do Eye ball marathon . Constantly . Some youtube videos the stock footage just bruptly show up eye balls have to re focus . After a while it can cause fatigue . Once that happens it won’t be able to Focus correctly n long run it can cause Retina damange : 100 % painless . Sorry k am nag again . I took Biology, my Science research Professor explained TV watching / Film watch difference , pro Vs Con, also she debunk “oled /plasma best “ as myth. N stated LEDs best . But need to know how to use LEDs A trick -- if u ever feel eye fatigue , go to window to stare at the roof top something far away for 5 -10 min try to focus . Or night time shut all lights off , let sky night light come in n till u can see entire room clear even when all lights off . It will force eyes iris pupils to reverse Stretch the muscles (used to focus on bright object ) retract to Relexed mode , to prevent they seize up n stuck.

How do you like your 100" U8K? How much do you loose at a 45 degree viewing angle? I'm considering the 98 UX, but it's a lot more money. I haven't found the 100 U8K on display anywhere to go check it out. It seems like a great deal, just not sure about the viewing angle. Cheers
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!
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
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?
So the 85" UX was a 2023 model. Is the 98 UX and the 110 UX 2024 models? We're there upgrades to the UX series (98/110) in 2024? If so, do you know what they were? I'm contemplating getting the 98 UX for $4500 and wondering what your thoughts are? I definitely want a 98-100" tv as I want a theater experience in my home. Do you think this is the best quality for that price range and size or should I look at other options? I know the TCL QM8 is more comparable to the U8K than the UX series. Anyway I'd love to hear what you'd consider in this price point and size. Cheers Scott
Omg YES !!! Do d UX ! Those TVs they lose money for it only produce like couple hundred units world wide . I saw UX in Chinese site last year (on sale ) $8000-12000 ! Noooooooo WAY!!! ! $4000 on now for 2024 model !!!! 😮😮😮😮 Seriously those r like -- concept car level TV even pricier they lose money producing it . But it’s good for reputation . The U8N 85” - 2023 model just launch in Canada this year (we r 1 year behind on those ) extream high end . N we have to pay $4000 for the $2500 TV . N $6000 for $4000 TV . Dude that UX I have seen the pics my buddy sent me from Europe ! Its d most Glossy , water / wet paint clean black / rich color screen art !🎉😊 It has 16bit chip I believe . Insane color cast on Brightness -- when tv is rich in Color , black no longer matter . For example , neon lights , Laser during concert . So bright but not blinding -- rich in color . So eyes see them as Color instead of seeing them as white. It can look way more 3D than anything else .

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!
Exactly big tvs great when in use and an eye sore the rest of the time if placed in an open living space area vs dedicated media room. The vividstorm cabinet deals with place for shirt their projector and roll up alr screen and Samsung roll-up OLED TV options have the right idea but the cost is high.
Went to a 77 inch oled for my main tv. I can really see a differnce/lack in picture clarity. And i am not sitting close either. I could imagine how bad this one would be. But always love your reviews.
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 .
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.
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.
$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.
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.
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.
Do you have an actual release date yet? Spent 45 minutes at a Magnolia Best Buy yesterday trying to figure out why I can’t purchase or even order a 98” UX. Price dropped, assuming for BF, but none to be found. He ended up putting together a special invoice trying to order one so I’d get it asap. Just have no idea when it will be
Do you have a video on having a home theatre set or good audio system set to go with present day very good google tv's? Soundbars are just not best enough for sound to match best android tv's, right?
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.
I would grab 75” U8N with the SAME -- UX / U9N glossy Screen ! (Only 75” U8 , U7 has that screen ) or if I have smaller room I would grab 65” UX . They r next level Dense buttery color rich 3D vibrant .

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).
This is the largest TV that Caleb has ever reviewed! This is legit! 110" of ❤️
Nein. He did the TCL 115 inch
Caleb, review the 98" version
Stepping down from the 115" thats a big ask.. But, he's literally killing me with the better than Micro LED statement without ever saying WHY!!
Disagree w Caleb on the better than MicroLed statement, although I am a big fan...microled prices for mass market are 10 years from being affordable...the tech and picture are jaw dropping.
A great substitute would be a 97 inch Sony A95L qd oled w 8k, now that's a dream TV.
@billyr6125 For life size experience I'm stepping up size from OLED which for detail is a hard choice. If Hisense lets in their 110" 8k to the USA this yr I'm excited. This month Luna Wall 163" has a 75% price drop down to $60k so if that happens another time we'd be in OLED price range; still only 4k thou sucks!
These large TVs will be taking over the projector market in 100”! But projector still rule when we are looking at +200” size!
In talking about the advanced processor, that might be a good argument for waiting for next year’s TVs.
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!
A tremendous review!!
I bought two 85UX on clearance for $1500 each, awesome TVs with great sound.
Come on bro, no one cares about your tvs
@@nikchris69 maybe, but it's as close as I'll get to this TV
sure u did..
Agreed, appearance of side speakers are a deal breaker for me. For the 98UX
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 🍻
A good TV will have any ambient light sensor and adjust the brightness
Once the screen induces blindness they will know their job is done
And what picture setting is that tv on? Did anyone ever bother to get it out of Vivid or Sports Mode?
@@notsorandumusername it's at a pub, sports is literally what it's for. No one wants to watch filmmaker in a bar, or a film for that matter.
@@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.
17:48 omg CHiPS! ...and that's how you know Caleb is truly a man of discerning taste.
Amen to this.
No gaming demo?
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.
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)
I’d be interested to know the power consumption of this TV in HDR.
Hisense needs to improve on its warranty, one or two years on a television that cost thousands should have at least a Five Year Warranty. Hisense isn't the only one guilty of short warranties so is Samsung, Sony and so on.
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 ?
@@Yoga_Tv_buying A bit but 10'6" is probably max. Large space but there's a loft overhead that would obscure immovable height channels.
@@JoshBlazek hey 10’6” r good . Just not for Fast moving like 3 hr sports or Gamming tho.
Look for Vivo, or Fitueyes. Those r super reputable Tv stands (Metal ). I had issues with space , those r god sent . I got 1 tv at Corner 45% now . N d other one I move around .
I saw Samsung 98” tv in store today surprisingly good around 10’. For News , Netflix etc . Cable network ….
Just be careful when watching RUclips, also long fast moving sports . Human eyes r not meant to do Eye ball marathon . Constantly . Some youtube videos the stock footage just bruptly show up eye balls have to re focus . After a while it can cause fatigue . Once that happens it won’t be able to Focus correctly n long run it can cause Retina damange : 100 % painless .
Sorry k am nag again . I took Biology, my Science research Professor explained TV watching / Film watch difference , pro Vs Con, also she debunk “oled /plasma best “ as myth. N stated LEDs best . But need to know how to use LEDs
A trick -- if u ever feel eye fatigue , go to window to stare at the roof top something far away for 5 -10 min try to focus . Or night time shut all lights off , let sky night light come in n till u can see entire room clear even when all lights off .
It will force eyes iris pupils to reverse Stretch the muscles (used to focus on bright object ) retract to Relexed mode , to prevent they seize up n stuck.
Not saying u need this advice , better safe than sorry in case if u n family reach fatigue accidentally.
This is real science said in university lecture . U won’t get this anywhere from those “tech Chanel’s “ focus on Hard mechanics:):) 🫶 enjoy the 100” ! ✌🏼
@@JoshBlazek yeah look up Vivo n Fitueyes . Those r d best ones . D white ones r glossy elegant . They can hold up to 120”
How do you like your 100" U8K? How much do you loose at a 45 degree viewing angle? I'm considering the 98 UX, but it's a lot more money. I haven't found the 100 U8K on display anywhere to go check it out. It seems like a great deal, just not sure about the viewing angle. Cheers
Beautiful TV!
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!
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.
The 98UX is up for order on best buy now at 5k might have to pick one up
Is it this year model?
@@whitecrowuk575 yes it says it’s the 2024 model
@@whitecrowuk575yes 2024 model
How does the 98” UX compare to the 110” UX? It’s 1/4 the price!
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
@@whitecrowuk575 how about 85ux
GOOD REVIEW! WHEN 98UX?
This was a fun review
I may have missed this in the review but does the 98 inch version have all the same tech/features?
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?
I thought the U9N was the affordable Hisense with UX technology?
Yeah ! Do it ! I am in Canada 🇨🇦, I want to buy U9N but they don’t launch here yet .
Make a video on new Sansui 55 inch OLED tv
Wow😍😍😍
Almost all HDR games support 10000 nits. So yeah, sadly no one has tested this yet.
So the 85" UX was a 2023 model. Is the 98 UX and the 110 UX 2024 models? We're there upgrades to the UX series (98/110) in 2024? If so, do you know what they were? I'm contemplating getting the 98 UX for $4500 and wondering what your thoughts are? I definitely want a 98-100" tv as I want a theater experience in my home. Do you think this is the best quality for that price range and size or should I look at other options? I know the TCL QM8 is more comparable to the U8K than the UX series. Anyway I'd love to hear what you'd consider in this price point and size.
Cheers Scott
Omg YES !!! Do d UX ! Those TVs they lose money for it only produce like couple hundred units world wide . I saw UX in Chinese site last year (on sale ) $8000-12000 !
Noooooooo WAY!!! ! $4000 on now for 2024 model !!!! 😮😮😮😮
Seriously those r like -- concept car level TV even pricier they lose money producing it . But it’s good for reputation . The U8N 85” - 2023 model just launch in Canada this year (we r 1 year behind on those ) extream high end . N we have to pay $4000 for the $2500 TV . N $6000 for $4000 TV . Dude that UX I have seen the pics my buddy sent me from Europe ! Its d most Glossy , water / wet paint clean black / rich color screen art !🎉😊
It has 16bit chip I believe . Insane color cast on Brightness -- when tv is rich in Color , black no longer matter .
For example , neon lights , Laser during concert . So bright but not blinding -- rich in color . So eyes see them as Color instead of seeing them as white.
It can look way more 3D than anything else .
U8N has 2x contrast rate of TCL . Also 40 % higher - native contrast of TCl tho .

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.
How does this screen display stack up compared to LG's 97" OLED? I don't believe I heard any mention of the OLED vs. Mini-LED comparion.
Oled will still crush it. Contrast is contrast. At 20k to get 10” more and led I don’t think I would. In light controlled room nobody needs 10k nits.

Did he mention if this was an ADS Pro panel?
I did not catch it
It appears to be. The off-angle performance is very good.
@@Caleb_DenisonI believe I read that the 75UX, 98Ux and 100UX are all ads panels. 🎉
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!
Exactly big tvs great when in use and an eye sore the rest of the time if placed in an open living space area vs dedicated media room. The vividstorm cabinet deals with place for shirt their projector and roll up alr screen and Samsung roll-up OLED TV options have the right idea but the cost is high.
Gran Turismo Sport and 7 are mastered to 10,000 nits
I have 2 big windows in the living room and I want a television with anti-glare. Any recommendations
U8N 75” or U7N 75” or U9N (75” 85”) because those have the -- exact same screen in the 110” UX
Went to a 77 inch oled for my main tv. I can really see a differnce/lack in picture clarity. And i am not sitting close either. I could imagine how bad this one would be. But always love your reviews.
Which oled tho like Woled or Qd oled ? There is huge image difference 😊
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 .
how wide is the cabinet the tv is on?
Let’s go 💪🏻
Where is 98 ux 😢
$20,000... review done.
😂
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.
Ya. This review is relevant to like 5 people.
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.
When it almost costs the same as a used car we are officially done.
Also not even the rich will buy it because there are better brands.
Upload an HDR version of this video
Awesome. Now the longevity test. I hear about those horrid vertical line failures. I hope my LG 65 C3 escapes this fait.
How is the blooming?
With the ever increasing bright levels would it be any benefit to performing a temperature test? Should power efficiencies be considered?
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.
What's up my ninja
Hisense amase me with they're value for money on regular size tvs but this one's not for me they're soundbar 312 is fantastic for £250
$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.
What do you mean ‘still a hisense’ a Sony would have cost double
cant wait for this for 5k in 2 years time maybe :D
You should put a energy monitor on it and tell us how many watts it's using.
Awesome 👍🏻👍🏻
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.
What was your viewing distance during this test, and how is it from the sides with regards to viewing angle?
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.
Were did you get those floor stands/feet for the tv?
How does it compare to Bravia 9?
Does this TV utilize PWM (pulse width modulation)?
Do you have an actual release date yet? Spent 45 minutes at a Magnolia Best Buy yesterday trying to figure out why I can’t purchase or even order a 98” UX. Price dropped, assuming for BF, but none to be found. He ended up putting together a special invoice trying to order one so I’d get it asap. Just have no idea when it will be
Will there also be a +/- 98” version?
What version of the Calman software would I need in order to calibrate this TV? Also, what calibration meter would I need to reach the NIT levels?
Caleb, I’m not seeing any new content on the 98” UX.. any idea how it stacks up against the 98” screens out there? any plans to review it?
Do you have a video on having a home theatre set or good audio system set to go with present day very good google tv's? Soundbars are just not best enough for sound to match best android tv's, right?
You need to make a video on the best 2024 TV for sports viewing.
So which is better TLC or Hisense ????
I wish someone would review the hisense u76n 2024 model 100 inch tv. 😕
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.
Need a u9n and 98ux review. Those are more practical and affordable. The avg person can't afford anything over 8k for a TV.
The same Tech in 55" tv would be cool..
Imagine watching a 10 000 nits mastered Interstellar release on this
8:19 what did he saaaaayyyyy!!!! 😳😬
bro the way my ears perked up on this part lmao
How does the 65UX compare with the 65U8N?
65UX in EU is U9N .
I would grab 75” U8N with the SAME -- UX / U9N glossy Screen ! (Only 75” U8 , U7 has that screen ) or if I have smaller room I would grab 65” UX . They r next level Dense buttery color rich 3D vibrant .
Is it better than the tcl qm8 98 inch in terms of picture quality
I mean is it better than the tcl 115 inch?
Would like to know which Pentonic chip it uses. I just read that the 98UX is using the 700 which is a bit disappointing, was hoping for the 1000
Well, I guess motion judder isnt gonna be an issue in a cold Scandinavian basement. You know, cold liquid crystals
Number of dimming zones?
20000 I think . 😊
What speakers are those
I would like to know what version of Calman software you used for this review as well as the meter you used that can reach those NIT levels?
