    Great price for a large screen you will regret when more hdmi 2.1 devices become available. Admittedly nothing with hdmi 2.1 is available this size for this price.

    *Does not feature HDMI 2.1 input and 4K@120Hz through HDMI. All HDMI inputs are 4K@60Hz.
    **Not available for 85A7G. (vrr and allm)

      No you won't. That's bullshit. At the moment there is very little reason to even need HDMI 2.1 at the moment unless you are gaming from a powerful PC and want to do 4k 120hz.

          What are you planing on playing at 4k, 120Hz on a PS5/XSX? Stardew Valley?

          • reloxation on 30/10/2021 - 20:24

              @reloxation: So your telling me I can play cyberpunk on a PS/XSX at 4k, 120Hz, on ultra, with raytracing and no up scaling?

              You are playing at around 1280×720 120Hz up scaled, not 4k 120Hz.

              • reloxation on 31/10/2021 - 08:28

                @This Guy: Well, you never stated native 4K. DLSS tech is getting better and better so why wouldn't you use it?

                • This Guy on 31/10/2021 - 08:40

                  @reloxation: The consoles use AMD GPU's which don't have Nvidia's DLSS.

                  Kinda clutching at straws saying 720p upscaled is 4k.

        Yes, technology has reached it's zenith, and will never improve from this point onwards.

            @This Guy: I think his point is that we keep our TV's for a lot longer than just this moment.

            Right now, I agree with you. HDMI 2.1 is largely wasted. A year or two in the future though, when I'd be hoping to still be using a TV that I'd payed North of $2k for? Different story.

            • This Guy on 31/10/2021 - 14:42
              +2

              @Spun: It's a ~$2k 85" TV released with in two years of a cutting edge technology.

              The PS5/XSX should have at least another two years before midlife upgrades (as nothing is leaking).

              The chip shortage is predicted to last atleast another 12 months in most tech companies investor communication.

              Nvidia is rumored to be increasing prices for next gen and cutting back production of current gen.

              The only two wild card's I can see that could make future proofing with 2.1 for use in the next two years is AMD's new chiplet GPU design or an advance in frame rate smoothing technology by someone like Nvidia on a new set top box. But neither are guaranteed.

              Instead of blowing $5k on 2.1 you would be better off buying this then buying a second TV in three years for $2.7k

      • AlienC on 30/10/2021 - 19:02

        Hi its me some guy who wants to game from a powerful pc and do 4k 120hz

        But i get your point

        For netflix and normal viewing this is more than fine

        For 4k 60hz gaming this is fine

        You just have to know what it has and what you want

        I bought this for $2000 with the 15% off The Good Guys a few weeks ago. Can confirm it does Soap Opera with motion features on. Great picture. Absolutely massive and was a pain finding a suitable adjustable wall mount. Super happy, amazing to get 45kg of item for the same price as a new iPhone.

        Of course it's a must, who watches TV at 60hz, it should a breach of human rights if you're not experiencing YouTube videos at 4k 120hz. If you're not watching at this res, might as well not watch at all because what sort of sane humane being would subject themselves to the torture of 4k 60hz or even worse…1080p 60hz when the human eye can see 8k resolution. But did you know there are millions, if not billions, out there who do not watch in 4k 120hz. This is an issue that does not have enough awareness as it is a must. We should all start a for profit organisation where we aim to solve this plague once and for all.

          Where do you live that 4k 120Hz should be a human right? Watching free to air 720p on anything less than 8k 480Hz TV's should be goal-able.

      • Mintee on 30/10/2021 - 13:01

        I have a shield on my existing tv I just don't see the point in getting another device if I'm getting a new tv? If that makes sense

        • StonedWizard on 30/10/2021 - 14:12

          @Minte - I get your logic. This seems to be much cheaper than an equivalent ‘brand name’ product. So I’d prefer to save the cash, get a shield and have a much more pleasant experience. Plus reap the benefits of its upscaling. I haven’t done much comparison. But I’d say this + shield is cheaper than other 85’ tv. Then there’s the worry that the Hisense doesn’t have apps you use.

          Most smart TV stop receiving updates within a few years. So you will eventually have to get some type of media device.

          • Bullion78 on 01/11/2021 - 13:29

            @StonedWizard: A few years? My approx 4yo hisense has never receiving a firmware update for vidaa, or a system update for that matter.

        • AlienC on 30/10/2021 - 19:06

          Unfortunately some tvs come with super terrible support for android apps and the google play store.

          You would think they couldnt add some sort of implementation of even usable android at this price point like whats it gonna cost an extra $100-200 to add a mid range phone or tablet just to have an android google play store working tv when they could just bake it into the tv itself.. ah well

    • Shon on 30/10/2021 - 12:16

      It has around 30 apps total. Real rubbish. But as others have said add an extra $80 and get the stick of your choice. Chromecast TV, Firestick etc. I had to do the same for my Samsung TV as well.

      Still uses less power than a 42" plasma

      • tunzafun001 on 30/10/2021 - 15:22

        Hmmm, at this size I recon it will draw more..

        42" Plasma would pull around 190w. A 65" TCL I looked at the other day pulled 168w.

        So I'm going to say 200w plus for this.

        For reference, a 42" LED draws around 40 watts.

        • AlienC on 30/10/2021 - 19:07

          What about an 85" plasma

        • Ryballs on 30/10/2021 - 19:21

          Depends on plasma I guess, some 42" Panas pulled 230w

            +1

            @Ryballs: I could only find energy data on the 75" version of this, which is 250w (running HDR content). Around 170w normal. So the 85 will be a bit more than that.

            A Samsung 85 running 120hz full HDR uses an eye watering 470 watts!

            Did someone say we are looking to bring down global emissions?

            They are very secretive about energy consumption these days.

            Reality is you would be looking at a 4 - 8x increase in power usage over a standard 42 - 50" Led TV. So quite significant and people on a tight budget should factor this in.

        I bought the 75 inch C725 which is the Android OS for $1690 and I think that the VIDAA vs Android thing should be a big sticking point. I have all the streaming apps and several others along with built in chromecast whereas with the Hisense and VIDAA I would have needed AppleTV or something.

        Native Android OS in my opinion makes TCL the better option.
