Summary

Linus dives into the beastly Hisense 116UX, the world’s biggest 4K RGB mini-LED TV, only to find that its local-dimming zone count (around 10,000 or even just 3,600 in some modes) is a big step down from what smaller TVs offer. Even though the massive screen is jaw-dropping in person, fewer dimming zones mean less precise contrast and more blooming, which kind of defeats the point of shelling out top dollar for a “mini-LED” picture.

After running through tests, extreme close-ups highlight bleeding around bright objects, and the size just magnifies every quirk. In the end, Linus decides that while it’s a cool flex piece, the performance trade-offs aren’t worth keeping this 116-inch monster in his living room.
