[@WoadZS]

Message from China, X11G is primarily sold in offline stores, resulting in minimal online purchases from online stores like Taobao or JD, in fact, there are a lot of customers who actually purchase this particular model. Since it is sold in offline stores, you have a good chance to negotiate and bring the price down. In the case of the 115" X11G, you can actually get a deal for $9,100(65,000 CNY). If it's the more common and practical 85" X11G, then you can get your hands on it for just $2300 (but with the Dimming Zones scaled down to 5000+). BTW, Linus mentioned the problem of the feet, in fact, because TCL wants to avoid unexpected problems caused by customer self-installation in China, TV legs are provided by TCL's official installers during home installation.

Panasonic made a 103" Plasma in the mid 2000s that I installed at least half a dozen of in South Florida alone. Those were ~600+ lbs IIRC, needed it's own reinforced wall, was ~$100k with wall mount and needed a dedicated 220v circuit.

Word of warning from a former commercial signage person: Many TVs do not like being balanced on the edge of their screen. Especially in the commercial space, and extra super especially with screens larger than 40" (which is most commercial signage screens). Putting pressure, especially the weight of the TV, on the bezel will destroy the screen in a fraction of a second. Things to know for home installation. That's why most competent installers work in pairs and carry at the corners/rear of the screen and only hold the top/sides of the screen itself.

[@Demmrir]

I've rolled my 77" screen onto its edge to mess around with the back for several minutes, forget fractions of seconds, and it's still fine. Good to know that it can cause severe issues, though. Is it only the worst issue on hard floors maybe? Safer on carpet like they had there (and a rug like I had)?

Ultimately i went with an 85" as it was $10,000 less than the same panel 100" TV with a plan to replace the 85" TV when a 100"-115" TV is $2-3k. I think this will happen in the next 4-5 years.

Do not agree at all. A decent projector with a 110" screen is about $4500 US, and you can go to a bigger screen at will. An LCD is NOT scalable like a UST is and also you need to take particular care in not getting cracked by installing it or just day to day use. I would rather a kid throw a matchbox car at a stretched screen and have it bounce off than crack an LCD that size.

Well, as mentioned in the video, the TV comes with free installation in China. why? Because most households in China lives in apartments, and this TV is simply too big to fit into elevators, so for installing the TV, you need to remove your windows (yes, and they are usually as big as a wall, from the celling to the floor) then hire a crane to deliever the TV through the empty windows...

[@inisipisTV]

I doubt people living in small apartments would be buying these beast. These are really geared to the very rich people with large mansions in China. Having free installation for large electronics or machines are a usual thing in every big buy stuff.

[@moltenglass3261]

@@inisipisTV You don't have any idea of how much more expensive a mansion is compared to an apartment in China, and actually, 'apartment' is not a word asociated with 'small' and 'cheap' here. There're 'apartments' cost more than 1 billion RMB, and the average price for a 100-square-meter apartment in Shanghai is around 5 million RMB. So, if you really really want a TV of this size, not saying everyone would do so, 100k RMB isn't that out of reach for most middle-class households, its price is just as the same as a brand new 23 Nissan Sylphy, it's simply a matter of choice, a car or a gigantic TV. And in fact, there were news that they installed TVs of 95 inches through the window like that, and also another news where a very famous rich second generation bought a Sony 100-inches TV for 0.5 million back in 2017, believe it or not, what I said are all simple facts.

@@A.Netizen.Since.2010 Not bad, the main advantage of Chinese manufacturing is that it is cheap and large enough. Tcl is not a simple assembly manufacturer. They have their own LCD panel production line, which they acquired from Samsung. Japanese companies have basically fallen behind in LCD panels. Sharp is still doing well, but Sony has fallen behind. The best ones are Samsung and LG. If they are only Chinese manufacturers, I would recommend Hisense. TCL is more focused on small-size OLEDs for mobile phones. Its subsidiary CSOT has very strong panel R&D and production capabilities. Hisense is more focused on TVs, but it does not master panel technology like tcl.

The problem is Sound. With those types of setups, most Theatre enthusiasts put speakers behind an AT screen. You can't do that with this screen. So you either have to have Floor standing speakers in the room, in-wall speakers outside the screen areas, or LCRs mounted on stands - with sub-optimal sound placement. It becomes a preference of Sound vs Visual quality. Would you choose optimal sound, or optimal visual quality?
