      It depends….if it's a high-end projector then I doubt this TV be better as it's not a high end model.
      Projectors give you an experience of watching a movie in a cinema. TV's will never be able to replicate that experience due to differences in technology.

      I have a high end Panasonic TV with Kuro technology (about as good as an OLED TV minus the HDR) and a projector. I always watch movies on my projector as it reminds me on good old days when I was able to go to a cinema. I even make popcorn with yellow butter and pour coke in paper cups to enhance the experience (even though I'm in a lockdown at home)

      • cubeh on 09/10/2021 - 17:28

        Hisense have a pretty good reputation for picture quality, I would say this TV would produce a better picture than 90% of projectors on the market.

        Your comment about OLED is a little strange too, have you ever seen one in person?
        I can guarantee a 2021 LG OLED would absolutely blow your 2007 1080p Kuro out of the water. It’s not a debate about different technologies, you’re just talking about a TV that’s nearly 15 years old against the latest cutting edge tech.

        • RJK on 09/10/2021 - 18:02

          Yes subjectively my Hisense's screen is at the top end of what I see in stores.

              @ChadHominem: Can agree with that 🙂 this was around 2008 though, definitely not 1st gen!

        • vrsac on 09/10/2021 - 22:00

          "I can guarantee a 2021 LG OLED would absolutely blow your 2007 1080p Kuro out of the water"
          It's actually a Panasonic Plasma with Kuro technology (Panasonic bought Pioneer's Plasma IP)

          I have seen OLED playing demo videos at JB Hi-Fi. I've also had OLED panel on my phones well before they started using them in TV's (starting with Google Nexus One in 2007), so, yes, I'm aware of their advantages. OLED TV's have great colour reproduction and deep blacks. So do Plasma TV's.

          Have you seen a calibrated Plasma TV playing 1080p content? I guess not. It feels like watching a movie in the cinema. The colours (even without HDR) are just the way director wanted you to see. I think OLED TV's have too much post-processing built in that makes picture a bit artificial. But then again, a calibrated OLED may look more natural than default setup.

          Also, take a look at a discussion about OLED Vs Plasma. It's a close call I think.
          https://www.whatsbestforum.com/threads/is-oled-really-better…
          https://www.avforums.com/threads/pioneer-kuro-to-lg-oled.231…

          One thing for sure is that when my Plasma dies it will be replaced by an OLED or (hopefully) micro LED if the price is right.

          • ChadHominem on 09/10/2021 - 22:27

            @vrsac: Nexus One was 2010 brother!

            @vrsac: I actually owned a Pioneer Kuro many many years ago, I now own a 77in LG OLED so I’m fairly familiar with the differences.
            While the Kuro was THE reference tv in the late 2000’s things have moved on pretty dramatically since then. The OLED trumps it in pretty much every measure you can think of: it’s brighter, has better colour reproduction, deeper blacks, ability to play UHD/4K content, Dolby Vision, HDR, HDMI 2.1…

            It’s not that the Kuro was a bad TV, in its time it was the best TV you could own… but that was close to 15 years ago.
            Nothing wrong with holding on to your Kuro until it dies though, and I can guarantee you’ll love your OLED just as much when you make the move.

          Hisense have a pretty good reputation for picture quality

          I'm looking at TV reviews and have read that Hisense uses the same TV model names for international models, but they are completely different TVs. Something to be aware when viewing reviews on US sites such as rtings (where they clearly mention this). It seems Aus models aren't necessarily as good as their US counterparts, not saying they're bad overall though.

        144" is the standard today. But most professionals are moving to 292" (Samsung) or 325" (LG). You can go bigger, but the resolution will be non standard. And you will need to put an order in for a nuclear submarine to power the thing.

      • lulzenberg on 09/10/2021 - 13:27

        Fair, I guess we only watch streaming services and don't fork out for the UHD plans, so probably don't notice a huge difference. We use an old projector from a hospital I helped re-fit. The thing has to be at least 10 years old now and is still running fine. WXGA converted to 1080p haha. Having a whole wall light up does bring a bit of magic to it though I feel, vs a TV anyway.

    • vinni9284 on 09/10/2021 - 13:51

      Agree. The good thing about updating a projector, is that you don't need 7 people to carry into in a hired B-double if you decide to sell. Plus you would not want to play PSVR with move controllers on a 100" TV with a same screen replacement the cost of a TV :P

      • lulzenberg on 09/10/2021 - 13:56

          If I decide to go a larger screen to 130" or go back to 110", it is a very hard process of turning the zoom clockwise or anti-clockwise on the projector.

              @lulzenberg: There is good paint for black level enhancing screens but there is no paint that can reject ambient light (it would have to reflect light from the sides or above or below which requires being able to paint reflective particles on to a wall so the reflective sides of the particles all face the same way, or even one way one side of the screen and the opposite way on the other if you want to reject light from the sides. If you can do that make me some striped paint as well please :-)

              Ambient Light Rejecting screens are made of multiple layers of material which CAN be manufactured to reflect light in chosen directions on each layer.

              ALR screens are usually grey but a simple grey screen does not make an ALR screen.

                • skysurfer on 10/10/2021 - 10:23

                  @lulzenberg: @lulzenbrg Yep, as it says in the big red font near the top of the post it's a HIGH GAIN screen, as you would expect. That's different to an Ambient Light Rejecting screen. I'll leave you to look it up but basically it reflects more light than a standard unity gain or 1.1 gain white screen hence providing a brighter image. That has nothing to do with rejecting light from anywhere, quite the opposite in fact.

                  • lulzenberg on 10/10/2021 - 10:26

      Except those projectors can't really do HDR (and no chance Dolby Vision), and you're not getting anywhere near the real contrast ratio and brightness of a tv

          the "Xiaomi Mi 150” Ultra Short-Throw Laser Projector" is amazing. We plan on getting one as our neighbours have one. They made their own ambient light rejecting screen with a guide to mixing the paint and it's amazing. The back of their 'cinema room' is basically just windows with block-out blinds. When they have them open, there is near no difference to when the blinds are shut. A lot nicer mood with the blinds shut though.

    I follow it's price on Little Birdie

    https://www.littlebirdie.com.au/shop/deal/100-s8-4k-uhd-smar…

    I intended to buy it that day, but when the price changed to $5995 at 11am it blew my budget.

    I called my local Good Guys (Kotara NSW) and they said although they couldn't do the old $4995 price anymore, they would do $5400 + delivery ($90).

    You definitely want to get this puppie delivered.

        The 100S8 is a 2020 model but Hisense never came out with a 100" model in 2021.

        A lot of retailers I have spoken to say the return rate on the 100S8 is high - mainly because it won't actually fit into the houses/units they are trying to deliver it to. It comes on it's own pallet….

          There is always a price premium for size. Look at the price premium on say a Sony 65" vs 85"…

          That may be the RRP but I haven't ever seen anyone asking more than $12k since it was released.

      Both three year warranty. Both similar specs.

      Most likely both have an identical panel driven by different software.

      The Hisense uses Vidaa which isn't as popular with many people as the Google/Android OS that TCL uses from memory.

      Note all the comments I have seen about Google/Android OS on the 85U80G Hisense say that it is significantly and noticeably slower than Vidaa, but that it does offer more apps and arguably a better upgrade path.

      Personally I dont give a crap about the OS on the TV's as I run 99.99% of my content through them via other devices so I never use the apps in the TV's.

      They are pretty similar so a lot comes down to brand preference. TCL is the top selling TV brand in the USA, but it's never really taken off here.
      My experience in the past with TCL is that they are cheap garbage - but that seems to be changing.

      My experience with Hisense has been good - and their warranty support in my experience has also been excellent. That's why I want the Hisense 100S8….

      • subdaman on 09/10/2021 - 14:02

        both are quite smilar - just wouldnt buy any because of how pixellated they both look on FTA —

          Are you talking 1080p FTA or SD ?

          SD looks crap on even a 75" so no surprise it looks bad on a 100".

          Did you see FTA on the Samsung QA85QN85AAW ?

          Part of the problem is that Australian FTA is such crap quality. Even on the best 85" in the world it's going to be mediocre….

        In terms of pricing the best advertised price I have seen for the Hisense is $4995 (The Good Guys, 7 October 2021).

        The best advertised price for the TCL I have seen is $4892.80 (JB HiFi 20% off sale, 14 July 2021).

        Because of the high ticket price, any % off discounts add up very quickly

        Note both TCL and Hisense are indirectly controlled by the Chinese government. That doesn't bother me but it bothers some buyers…

        There is an OzBargain user who recently purchased a 100S8 - InLaymansTerms. I would be interested to hear his feedback. He had his wall in his new house specially reinforced so the wall could support the 110kg behemoth + wall mount….

          What a hell is this fascination with the Chinese government. It's a freaking TV. Is it because they pay local taxes to the Chinese govt at some point?

            @siiking: The Chinese government own or at least control a lot of these companies.

            In some cases, like Huawei, they are accused of implanting spyware within the products….

                @siiking: It might get to be a quite warm war in the next few years….

    That's decent, these sizes were going for much more not long ago, great to see there coming down in price.
