I worked out we ideally have a 98” 4K TV to make a 4.5-5m viewing distance acceptable.
I looked at the few options which is TCL, Hisense (100”), Samsung and I think LG does a mini LED / quantum dot LED within the budget I have set, which is around $6k or so.
What is people’s experience with these 98” offerings? Which ones are reliable?
I’m in the same boat and will buy the TCL C855 98” as soon as it goes under $5.5k. It was only recently released.
That’s likely the best 98” TV under $15k.
I like brands that are confident enough to give a 3 year guarantee… which unless something's changed, rules out sapsung and LG's 1 year of mediocre confidence.
I find a 75" TCL to be about just big enough @ about 2 metres… to be very useful as a monitor/ media display. I would have put an 85" there if I had enough room.
I did buy a quality projector quite a few years back… but it wasn't remotely of the quality of a big arsed screen. Maybe they've got better/cheaper/longer lamp life.
2m viewing distance wtf
I have a 55" TV at 2M distance…maybe I should upgrade
Projector quality at 100” is no where near a 98” TV. On top of that requires a screen. Projectors are also not as intuitive as a TV at the end of the day. Have looked into both.
What are people’s thoughts on the Samsung Q80C?
A native 4k laser projector should be as good , but usually are more expensive than your budget.
Or you could move the couches closer to the tv
I can't that's the problem. Stuck with a 4.5 to 5m distance
QN90D samsung deal for 5k or so is really unbeatable currently until maybe black friday
you can put it on a credit card that gives you extended warranty?
At that size and distance, why not look at a projector? Not going to be a great movie experience at that size no matter what the quality of the screen.
Although personally I'd just move the couch closer, unless you'd doing your own cinema room with rows of seats.
