TL;DR

Linus takes on the monstrous Hisense 116UX, a 116″ 4K RGB-MiniLED TV that promises jaw-dropping brightness and insane local dimming—but with a catch. The flagship model has around 10,000 zones (or just 3,600 in lower tiers), a far cry from the ~20,000 we’ve seen before, and on a screen this size, that reduction really shows in contrast and black levels.

After wrestling with setup logistics, running picture-quality tests, and even brainstorming wild mounting ideas, Linus concludes that while the TV is technically impressive, the compromises in real-world performance (and the sheer hassle) mean it’s not worth keeping.
