I just watched Linus wrestle with Hisense’s gargantuan 116” 4K RGB-miniLED TV. On paper it’s wild—massive screen, flashy new backlighting—but he was bummed to see the full-array local dimming zones drop from ~20,000 (on smaller sets) down to ~10,000 or even ~3,600 here. The result? Less punch in dark scenes and contrast that feels a bit compromised for a TV this size.
He runs through a battery of tests, tries out some “crazy ideas,” and even flips back and forth on keeping it. In the end, the novelty of having the “world’s biggest TV” just doesn’t outweigh the trade-offs in picture quality, so he decides it’s not worth the massive footprint on his wall.
