OPINION : With this pillar ’s usual author Kob Monney being away on a employment trip this week , I was able to go in his stead to Hisense ’s launching outcome for its mammoth 110 - column inch 110UXN television set . Needless to say , it ’s quite the thing to behold .
Nothing makes your existing television seem quite so poor as seeing one that , in my typeface , offers quite literally double the display size . As soon as I walked into the result space the 110UXN commanded my attention by its sheer front – this is no longer a thing that friends and family get together around to watch some amusement , but rather an entire conversation starter in itself .
Of naturally , I say this knowing full well that even with lowly cinema screens ( permit alone IMAX showings ) , watching entertainment on a gravid plate screen is n’t exactly a new construct but seeing that in a domestic place setting is , and the obvious thing to luff out – which Hisense is well aware of – is that this set wo n’t be for everyone . Before you may even get into the question of price , there ’s a logistic constituent afoot as to whether or not the 110UXN could even jibe into most domicile , but if you do have the space then skilful for you . There are even four gigantic handles on the back of the thing to give up two the great unwashed ( presumably Olympian lifter ) , to manoeuvre it onto a stand .
Despite this , it ’s easy to see why someone at this end of the market might choose for something like the 110UXN as opposed to a projector , which is where my mind would typically go when discussing how to go about building a proper home celluloid . A consecrated TV can be far brilliant than a projector ( the 110UXN goes up to 10,000 nits ) and by extension it can be used with dandy ease at all time of 24-hour interval , whereas a projector almost always demands a dark setting to control at its best .
With that tell , I was still very much in the mindset that what I was check in front of me was a true sumptuousness product , intended for a very pocket-sized part of the idiot box securities industry . That phantasy pretty much fell apart when I was introduce to some pretty jaw send away statistic about these gargantuan TVs .
For some, bigger is always better
As it turns out , the appetence for super - sized sets is a originate one . CNN reportedonly last month ( via a study conducted by research firm Circana ) that sales for TVs of sizes stray between 75 to 96 in have increase by a phenomenal 877 % over the last yr . The bailiwick attributes part of that rise due to a 53 % decrease in intermediate prices for 98 - inch television , owed to similarly decreasing manufacturing toll .
Even now , I still ca n’t quite wrap my head around the estimate that there ’s now huge need for these set in 2024 to the point where , as a spokesperson from Hisense key out at the event , these tumid sets are now considered to be a crucial part of the troupe ’s TV division as it tries to stage itself as the industry leader in this area , and to Hisense ’s credit , it might just do that on the cost to the consumer alone .
While the 110UXN has a eminent asking price of £ 19,999 , a fast gander on the net testify that you’re able to now pluck up the 100 - inch Hisense 100E7N for just timid of £ 2000 which is pretty mindblowing . As a Hisense representative was keen to point out , you ’d expend almost as much on a new iPhone 16 Pro Max with all the trimming included ( 1 TB depot , Apple Care protection , etc . ) .
Even though I am not the aim market for this television ( I ’ve never spend more than £ 400 on a new set and distance is unfortunately a primal factor ) , I still found myself enamor with the idea that you could corrupt one of these band for a price far below my expectations , and I ’d be lying if I said I was n’t trying to ideate how to fit one in my living way . It might voice a bit daft but trust me – when you see one of these thing for yourself , you ’ll be pondering the same thing .
