    What a bargain, bought 10

      Thanks, traded my toilet paper and bought 5.

          Good to see the OzB ovines are particularly aggrieved at my obviously TIC comment. Since 22 (to date) think it was a serious point, let's treat it semi-seriously for a minute. Here's my challenge to all of you : will toilet paper or this product hold its value better in the next 12 months? Take your time fellas, life as we know it depends on your responses.

          • @[Deactivated]: So which TV brand will hold its value like toilet rolls?

            • -1

              @berry580: Serious question? I think not.

              No takers for the question so far? Likely too complex for the baa baas, sorry, boys.

              • +1

                @[Deactivated]: No neg from me.
                But let me rephrase: Which one would hold its value better as a used item? ;-)

                • @Buy2Much: That's a very complex question B2M. It depends on what type of TV (and features) you think are must haves. Generally speaking though (no wars, big flucs in currencies etc) they all lose "value" fairly quickly as technology improves and new models are rolled out. Often the "same" model next year will get improved sound/picture etc but cost about the same, or models just shuffle down the line so the top model in 2019 (plus or minus some minor changes) becomes second tier in 2020 etc. Companies do this because they don't want consumers to keep holding off for lower prices.

                  Again in general, the top of the market usually gets discounted most. Mid-range (less expensive) is probably the sweet spot if you're worried about depreciation. Stick with quality brands - Panasonic, Samsung, Sony and LG. Also, buy at the right time - ie don't buy when new models first appear or if you can wait buy the 2019 model with the features you want after the 2020 models are released.

                  Toilet paper on the other hand….

      You got ripped off. Videopro is now selling it for $13,990 now and you also get a $1,000 voucher (OP's Link).

      So let me do the math:

      Bought 10 for $13,995.

      Current price on Videopro: $13,990. Total saving of $5 per TV = $50 for 10 TVs.

      Currently $1,000 voucher per TV = $10,000 for 10 TVs.

      Overall, you lost $10,000 + $50 = $10,050.

      /S

  • has anyone got one?

    • +21

      Yes. Very likely.

      • cdo you have any issues with it?

    • Woodenspoon does

    • Has everyone had one already?

      • had? Yep. Said goodbye to it in the 'ol council hard rubbish collection of October 2019. Did fit on nature strip. Just.

        Edit: can't believe I missed the 'everyone'.

    Better to hold off till a GG ebay 20% of they list it online (They probably wont) lol

    • I tried searching ebay store.. no one has listed :)

    • +4

      They'll probably only have $500 max discount.

  • +8

    Wonder how this fairs with xiaomi short throw.

    Not really a TV… more like a short throw projector.

    • For a $10,000 saving, id go the Xiaomi any day .

      • I have the short throw Xiaomi projector at work and have had for roughly 8 months - I couldn't fault it! Highly Recommend

  • +28

    Stupidity calling this a TV, it's a projector.

  • +1

    I doubt any retailers have this on display. I have to see it before purchased.

    • I think I saw this (or something very similar) at HN near me in SA ages ago.

      I lean this though….

  • +11

    Much better off buying a 85" TV for less, or biting the bullet and installing a real projector for about the same.

    • +8

      Yup. For this price you could get a pretty high end JVC true 4K projector which would easily blow this out of the water.

    • +4

      Do you prefer biting the bullet or pulling the trigger?

      • +1

        Pulling the trigger, assuming it's not aimed at oneself

      • +3

        Why not biting the trigger or pulling the bullet?

  • +2

    How does this compare to Xiaomi Mijia Laser Projector 4K https://www.gearbest.com/projectors/pp_009574547031.html

    • +2

      If you're talking pricewise, poorly?

    • It looks like hte Hisense comes with an ambiant light rejecting screen, so that is about $1500 and would certainly add contrast.

      I had the Xiaomi and the contrast ratio is just too low, and after looking for a few minutes across a few sites, the contrast ratio of this Hisense is missing, but i'm sure it's in the same low range.

  • -7

    Wait 12 months it will be $1k.

    • The ALR screen would be close to $800 to $1200 on sale, but that depends on the size and the frame / assembly. Expect to pay a fair amount for the Ambient Light Rejecting ALR projector screen over a regular Projector screen since it has a kind of sawtooth pattern to block reflected light, and the angle/pattern changes with "long" and "short" distances from the projector.

      If it's motorised, add another $1000-$2000 for the weight and shipping of a 3m long box that weighs ~20kg or more.

      A Xiaomi Mijia 4k DLP projector should / would be cheaper than the screen, but It's half the package. There are a handful of 4k laser projectors out there, with Optoma, Vava and Epson getting into the game, but it's early days.

      The LG 4k Projector, the HU85LA at ~$9,000 would be a better buy for a 120" TV, since it has all of the WebOS features of their 4K LED TV's. But it won't have the 2019 OLED features, it might be a long way until Dolby Vision 4k projectors under $10k.

      but at the point you're looking at $12k to $14k… You have a lot more choices available in Home Theater gear. You could import the LG, but the US model has ATSC for regular TV, not DVB-T/T2. That would be the only difference perhaps…

      The ultra short throw ALR screens out there tend to be a bit more expensive than the regular ALR material due to the sharp angle that the UST has, however China is making most of these ALR panels, the Vividstorm (huizhou) and XYscreens tend to be popular, sic.

      It would be tough to get a 0.47" DLP 4k UST laser projector for under $1000, and the roll of ALR screen material to make your own 16:9 ALR screen for under $1000, but it could be done. But you'd probably also need to spend another $400 on shipping and assembling & hanging your own frame

      And the extra few dollars could buy some milk crates as furniture too.
      Currently not that many places that sell the ALR screens either AFAIK.

          Hisense with a 3 year warranty instead of 1 is an improvement, if my memory serves…
          But holy snapping duckshit! It may be cutting edge, I dunno… but that's like selling a hyundai for the price of a ferrari! quite a difference from their historical market placement. As someone who found 25" colour CRT pretty cutting edge, I'm satisfied with the less than $2K 75" critters at the moment. However, if I do happen to win the mega lottery, let Gerry H know that I'll consider his offer. ahem

          • @rooster7777: No, it isn’t an improvement.

            Hisense has had 3 years warranty on tvs for years.

    • +7

      Here's your 8K. It's only $59995 though. A wise man once said that we would see massive reductions with the introduction of 8K. Prices really haven't changed that drastically ;)

        it used to be 100inch for $98,000 up till recently. they drop 2 inches and $38,000 lol

        • I wasn't referring to 8K drops but sure that's a drastic reduction in price.

          • @Clear: i wasnt pointing out that it was a drastic drop, i just added that as it seemed funny.

      • There's now $400-500 4k TVs.

        • There was in late 2018 too.

          • @Clear: True, but quality is a little higher now

            8K still 3-5+ years off (or even close to reasonable pricing), no realistic demand for it lol. Far too overkill

    • 4K is more than enough pixels for 100". You do know most cinemas are still 1080p right?

  • 100" tv. It doesn't look that big in the picture.

    • +25

      You need to view it on a 100" monitor to grasp the size

      • +1

        or a lot of 20" monitors stacked together

      • What is this? A TV for ants?

  • +3

    For $14k, I want 8k the least.

    • +9

      You'd lose 6k, not a very smart investment

    • I'll give you $8k for $14k, what's your contact details?

      • +1

        Did I say $ with 8k?

  • +3

    honest question: I wonder will there ever be a market for an expensive TV like this from a B grade TV company like Hisense?

  • I just realised it's an ultra short throw laser with a screen (assuming alr). Not an actual lcd/oled panel.

  • I mean i would if only it wasn't on back order

  • Clearly there’s people on here that when it come to size there not happy if some people go large

  • how many Amex s i need for HN cash back??

    Reminds me of the 50" Pioneer Plasma TV dad bought 19 years ago for $18,000.

    Someone's got to do it to pave the way for cheaper prices later on.

    • About $19-20 a day in depreciation :( OUCH!

      • Your maths is wrong:

        $19/day x 365 = $6,935/year
        20 years x $6,935 = $138,700

        It’s actually ‘cost’ just under $2.50 a day if calculating cost per day for 20 years.

        • Your right. I need to work less :) My brain gets the occasional computation error.

          Ah… I put day instead of week. My bad!

    • +3

      Your dad truly was a 'pioneer'! Pardon the pun

    • I don't think 50" consumer plasmas existed in 2001. Back then, they only really came in 2 sizes - 32" or 42". Are you sure it wasn't a 42?

  • Thanks OP, seems like a great high yield investment!

    • not as great as a 80K car investment I guess!

  • I assume this “TV” can only be watched in a dark room?

    • +2

      No, ALR (Ambient Light Rejecting) Screen enables you to watch in fairly lit conditions too. Half of the price is for the screen!

      This is not a TV, but a package of Laser Ultra Short Throw Projector + 100" ALR Screen!

  • At a quick glance, I read it as $1399, only to realise I missed the last digit. 100 inch TV is enormous, the mission to deliver that TV up to an apartment is not going to be easy.

    • I got a projector 100 inch at my apartment. No issues at all =)

    • +1

      it's just a screen panel and a projector and won't be difficult to take it to an apartment.

  • Thanks OP got 4 for my multi monitor setup!

  • -2

    Too big for Australia's small houses, these are designed more for the big American/Canadian homes.

  • this would go well as a dart coz I'm so rich

  • Is this really worth it or the equivalent of a high yield $80k investment car?

  • What a bargain, but the only TV worth all other TV's is the wall paper TV, it will always be number one for being thinner then my phone and has a screen resolution of 8k, and bonkers screen panel.

    If it's not the wall paper type TV's, it's not worth a penny over $1500 especially at bormans.

    • This is "screen" thIn, because it's a 4k Projector and a specialised projector screen in a bundle.

      The benefit with UST (Ultra Short Throw) is that the projector sits where a TV soundbar would be in the living room, but it's new technology, so things will improve in price, quality and performance.

      If you add in a motorised projector ALR screen, you can hide the TV away neatly and not have a visible TV when not in use, and the projector can also be tucked away or obscured, since it sits below the screen, not in the middle of the room, or on the ceiling/shelf, requiring mounting brackets and drilling holes, etc.

      The expense comes from the ALR material and the Laser projector, but you can probably mix and match different options to get closer to $5,000 or $15,000, which gets you close to an 88" 4K TV in price, with a much larger Theater Screen than an LED or OLED can produce.

  • Cheers, I might grab one for the spare room.

  • +3

    Why are people upvoting this?
    It's not a new product, it's not cheap, it's not even a good product.
    14 grand for a screen and a protector.
    I wouldn't want it for free.

    • I'd take all their stock if it was for free.
