From the server side, you can use the dashboard's Now Playing section to get an estimate of the current bitrate. I don't believe there is anything from the client side that will show realtime bitrate though.

I guess I'm gonna have to get a new WiFi 5 or 6 access point for my office, the WiFi has been fine for everything in there (it's not hard wired for Ethernet and I don't really feel like running a cable to this room), then I could get one of those gigabit usb lan adapters and just plug it to the access point. My cable modem and gigabit switch are in the basement, where most of my gear is. The office space was set up for WFH during the pandemic and we just left it like that, but makes a great little media room too.

Edit: could I skip the access point and just use another 1300mb usb3 WiFi dongle?

Quote from TH_1992 :
My opinion based on reading all these threads and stuff:

100" U8K $3k > 100" U76N $2k > 100" U8K $4k >= 98" XL $3k >= 98" S5 $2k
(Meaning if you can get the U8K for $3k get it over the other options. If it's only available for $4k then weigh your options a bit more)
Interesting, and thank you for this. Curious - what about the U76N makes you feel that it is better than the XL?

They're very similar- I don't think the 100ish more dimming zones justifies the $1k price difference between this and the U76N especially when the U8K is available for $3k currently from electronic express (and likely that price at Best Buy again in the near future)

But there's not a whole lot of real-world info or reviews on most of these (especially the U76N) so it really is just my opinion which is subjective.

Do people put these massive TVs in their living room? I have an 85" and I'm trying to figure out how a 100" would even work. I have the room, but figure it would look weird with a 100" with center at eye level as you would have to mount it very low. In a theater room that isn't a problem but in shared living room I think it would look silly.

For these sizes I tend to do the bottom 1/3 vs center. Mine is mounted 29" from bottom of TV to floor and tilted down slightly.

85" isn't considered massive?! For a typical living room I think anything 65+ needs planning so that the tv doesn't take up the room.

I have this set which I got in Sept at $3500. It's a really nice TV.

The Chromecast OS is very snappy and fast. Picture quality is gorgeous. Yes DV night not be reference nits but it does get very bright. Disney CGI movies look amazingly colorful, bright and clear. Xbox Series X gaming is amazing.

Blacks get really black like OLed and content like Marvel, Star Wars, Top Gun all look great.

We just watched Barbie this weekend which was uhd SDR on Amazon but the colors really popped

Have this in a Media room and love it.

$4k was the previous sale price. But it's been available for $3k before as well. If you can get it at $3k I'd take it over the U76N. If it's $4k I wouldn't.

Shows as $3K again: https://www.nfm.com/hisense-100-c...54748.html

There's some misinformation in this thread. Let's clarify:
  • $2k TCL 98" S5 has no dimming zones
  • $2k Hisense 100" U76N has 256 dimming zones.
  • $3k TCL 98" R754 (XL) has 192 dimming zones.
  • $3k Hisense 100" U8K has 1620 dimming zones
  • $5k Samsung 98" Q80C has 120 dimming zones
  • $6k TCL 98" QM8 has 2300 dimming zones
  • $8k Sony X90L has ? dimming zones. Don't know but the 85" has 96
At the $2k and $3k price Hisense clearly is the better pick for dimming zones. Keep in mind that dimming zones aren't everything, the processing also matters. TCL favors keeping blooming to a minimum but this is overdone in my opinion (I had the 98" R754 for a few weeks). It crushes shadow detail and still shows blooming. Hisense favors showing a bit more detail and has more zones so it will be more accurate most of the time. I haven't seen the 98" QM8 but I'd be surprised if the Hisense U8K isn't still better.

If you can wait for 2024 TVs this fall then do that. We should be seeing 5000 zone TVs in the $3-5k range. Hisense is also switching to ADS-Pro (similar to IPS) panels which with the higher zone count will lead to a much better viewing experience for on and off-axis viewing.

TL;DR I don't see a reason to pick any TCL.

I have this tv, bought it at 5k a year ago. Let me tell you this thing rivals the blacks on my 85" Samsung Q950TS. I was surprised
If you can wait 1 or 2 more years I would wait it out. The Super Big and Cheap TV wars just got started. Hisense and TCL are competing against the big 3 (Sony, Samsung, and LG) by putting this big TVs for cheap out in the market. I don't expect Sony to do much a out it but Samsung for sure will start competing and lowering prices for similar sized TVs.

There is also Mini and Micro LED tech getting better. Quantum Dots Tech. AI image Processors. Brightness going higher. All that for possibly cheaper.

If you rather not wait and you want something that will last you another 5 to 10 years and blow your mind today I would say stick with Sony. Their XR Clear image processing is indeed amazing. Hisense and TCL TVs at these size look great, my concerns are more towards the build quality and durability. Nothing that a good extended warranty can't fix though.
