Hisense announces the first "consumer-ready" MicroLED TV! It's a beautiful 136" monster

I don't quite get the point at the expected price level.

Existing OLEDs are already in "uncomfortably bright" territory for most humans.

As for burn in..."no burn in, but it costs like 100 TVs" eh?
A sound investment.

These TVs unfortunately are somewhat a flop. The smaller models (85" for example) are not 4K, HDR limited to 1K nits and 60Fps. Why would anyone pay extra money for the tech if it doesn't even have what you would expect?

Yeah these "cheap" Hisense's are objectively and significantly worse than contemporary high end OLED's. No one with a brain's going to pay $7000 for a 720p/60Hz 1000nit 78" panel. Integrator grifters ripping off rich old people are the only units they'll sell.

I was referring to Awall's video I posted, I've no idea what Hisense's specs are tbh
 
there a good video on how all tech is converging soon on the "perfect tv"

LED has the brightness but not the blacks, countering with as many dimming zones until its like oled

Oled has the blacks but not the brightness, stacking panels till they achieve more brightness

MiniLED idk what they doing

MicroLED is bright and has the blacks, but is new and its just price as the weakness.

Im wondering is MicroLED will take over OLED and it will go the way of the plasma
 
Where other TV technologies released this "early" in life at that price? I"M seeing Plasma was going for $15000 but not 150k.

I'd imagine they had "earlier" models that could have cost that much though. Looks like the LG OLED costs $60k as a consumer product.

Yeah they are watching you sleep.
Can confirm. There is a camera inside the tv. I pull down my pants and moon the tv every chance i get.

Some people must have giant houses and basements. I cant see how anyone would need a TV that's 80" or bigger. I think most people max out buying 65" and that's good enough. Or maybe these TVs (esp. 100"+) are meant for companies and big board rooms. We have a giant tv that's I think 90" at work.

Does it come with a house that it can fit in?
I have a 3.4m x 3.4m theatre room, recliners are along the back wall so can't go back any further. I have an 85" which to me still feels could be bigger. I'm waiting for a 100" Micro LED but anything bigger than that would be too big! You'd definitely need 4+ metres minimum from TV to seating position to enjoy that size!

Mine is about that size, too. I have a 75" screen on the wall and it could go bigger, but not sure it should. I've toyed with going up to 85" though.

I sit circa 3 metres from my 85" and it's not big enough IMO. You're just not used to a bigger TV. I couldn't imagine anything smaller for movies and gaming. It's about your peripheral vision. Look at how close you sit to say a 27" monitor and how much peripheral vision you have left. Scale that to a TV and you'll find that to have the same peripheral vision you need to be sitting a lot closer than you think to a 65" for example.

For those who don't follow the tech, the issue is that they are having difficulty making the microLED's smaller

Miniaturization is always the biggest challenge for this sort of thing in the TV industry

Until there is some sort of breakthrough on making them smaller and also cheaper, this is the best they can do. As a proof of concept they are amazing though, all the advantages of both LCD and OLED with none of the drawbacks of either tech
Funny enough with CRT the problem was how to make them bigger (and they never could).
It wasn't until flat screen panels that big TVs became affordable.

I have a 132” projector screen with panels to convert to a 120” 21:9 screen.

Given that (imho) theatre quality sound is more important than picture, how do you optimise LCR speaker position on these massive tv’s?

At the moment I have speakers concealed behind acoustic screen. It seems to me that you have to compromise on other aspects.

With is bizarre. For that price and not even 4K/HDR, even the most cheap Sony Bravia LCD LED had 4k/HDR.

What an amateur move.

It's the process these TV's go through. OLED was the same with prices and sizes to start with. Then they learn how to make them smaller, but sometimes at the cost of features and eventually (in a minimum of 3 to 4 years) they get it down to normal sizes at OK prices. It's only at that stage it becomes a proper consumer item, but the manufacturers try to get money along the way by releasing what's effectively prototypes.

They really don’t, been a few weird takes on this thread. 4K on 140” 4K projector looks amazing.
The distance between my TV and my couch ist 2.5 meters. I have 75" 4k now. Should I ever upgrade to a 120" TV, the viewing distance will not change at all which would decrease sharpness if resolution stays at 4k.

2.5m is tiny depth, 120” would barely fit in your fov at that distance.

But for the question I have a 140” screen at 4.5m and 3x98” TVs at 4m or so. The difference is negligible to non existent even when the image is stretched 50% more. It’s just not something you notice unless it’s gaming the picture is the picture….
