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

So hear me out, Hisense. I’ve got a 21” PVM that debuted at the price of $16,000 back in 2001, which is about $27,000 adjusted for inflation.

I’ll trade you that TV for this one. You’re getting a great deal, I assure you.

looks good and MicroLED will be what beats OLED.

still looks like it's a good few years away before people can actually afford it and it is refined enough.

I don't know about you, but I need to see clearly each separate pixel when I finally play Witcher 4. 8k@120 or I riot.

What's the deal with the resolution? I mean they said it's 24.88 million pixels. A 4k tv is 3840x2160 which is 8,294,400. Are they counting each red, green, and blue element as a pixel? (Since 3 * 8,294,400 is 24.88 million.)

I don't know what's crazier... these tvs costing 150k or people claiming they can buy a house in today's market for 150k. I mean i guess it's possible but it's gonna be a one bedroom one bathroom shack or run down mobile home?
 
Someday I'll get something like this. I don't want to use a projector and 105" screen. I'd be fine with 2160p too seeing as most theaters are still using 2k projectors and that's on way bigger screens. Micro-led is exciting but the current mini-led back light arrays have gotten impressively dense

Size is good.
My next TV needs to be at least 110" in order to feel like an actual upgrade.
But it also needs to be 8k.
4k @ 136"?😅🤣

I'd assume so. Bigger numbers = better!

I'd like a display tech more robust than OLED, but it seems like MicroLED really has a way to go before it's mainstream. Hell, that's assuming they actually can get the pixel density to the point where they're viable for much smaller TVs.

Location location location.

My brother bought a 95m² apartment for €500k. It is in the city centre.

hi sense? hmm, i thought i heard here people are hard to customer services?
I might be wrong though...

I'm betting in the future there will be research showing that these brighter/larger TV's impact sleep quality.

There just ain't no way viewing a giant wall of light at night won't have an effect.

Asking to the gaf experts, how many chance that next year we have normal sized microled from the usual suspects? (Lg, sony etc.)

I can't wait to change mine but if i buy another oled and one year later microled come out i'm gonna be the saltiest bitch.
 
I'm using OLED right now. I became whore of deep blacks and saturated colors. I really don't care brightness.

But,

If MicroLed tech is the new future of saturated colors with deep blacks + brightness? I'll probably buy one but until that time I'll stick to my "dim" LG C2 OLED, thank you.

With the predicted death of physical media, what's even the point? The crappy compression all streaming services (and broadcast TV) use will ruin the picture anyway.

Hisense makes some pretty good tvs I bought one of their sets for my camper and another for m y son's room.
 
What about motion resolution?
still sample-and-hold, so still shit compared to CRT
maybe the next big boy tv tech will be analog somehow
if we could get the size, contrast, nits, and precision of modern displays, but also the motion clarity and no-native-resolution of CRTs, thatd be amazing.

excited for microLED
basically just a brighter OLED
100"+ needs to be 8k minimum though

these days i just stick to PC CRT set to 300p and some tricks to get rid of motion issues, not the classic look but i like it and its very easy to set up, got some regular old tvs too ofcourse

I'm out of the loop but what's the advantage of this tech then? I thought motion clarity was the current objective.

What's the advantage of even brighter panels? Do people bring their TVs to the beach or something?

Lack of burn-in and much higher brightness on large window sizes. AFAIK it still uses TFT backplane tech so it's gonna have similar uniformity issues as current OLED panels.

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
