Unboxing the Biggest TV Ever | TCL 115-Inch QM8

[@BettMagnett]

I feel like this is exactly what unboxing and setting up a 65 inch TV felt and looked like to us 10 to 20 years ago back in the mid 2000s to mid 2010s

[@The_0ne504]

To be fair, they probably WERE about 200lbs back then lol

[@Neojhun]

Yep helped a friend move and setup a 65" Samsung LED in 2010. Into a house with not high ceilings guessing 9ft. It looked crazy big on that relatively small wall. Wild that is the norm now.

[@mrcrazyjonpresents4312]

its still great setting up a 65 inch samsung i got my brothers after he passed away Tv is now 4 years old and was barely used by him as they kept the auto turn off still on it so it went off after 4 hours and most of the time stayed off Tv like brand new and curved

[@hawleygriffon9290]

Only got a 65" earlier this year. Sony recommends 2 people to move and install it. Since I want to pedestal mount it instead, this will be a big job in a small room for a single person.

[@genericreference6969]

Really, a 115 inch TV is like 4 55 inch TVs all tiled together, so I can see why it is do heavy

[@mikemcdonald5147]

I once bought a tv from amazon and it came with white glove install which I was shocked. They came to my home unboxed, hooked up, explained remote, asked if I had any questions and took all the trash with them. AMAZING!!!!

[@koolrunnings3135]

Thank you DT. This was quite a blast. A TV raised and unboxed by the neigbourhood. It took a village. I look forward to the indepth review. Can you imagine it this was micro LED. Well, one day we will get there affordably. The good thing is my house has the room.

[@TheRouger7]

By the way, as an installer, I highly recommend when you pull the screen protector off, you pull upward from the bottom edge. Not that you need to start from the bottom, but if you pull downward or straight across, the screen protector leaves tiny little pieces that are a real pain to remove.

[@KillaninjaFC]

I was cringing when he was standing 3 feet away from the edge pulling with all his might horizontally... Major tipping hazard for one thing, and way too easy to rip the film as you mentioned

[@Caleb_Denison]

Hey everyone! As fun as this was, the review will be even better! What do you want to know? Shooting soon! P.S. Price is $20K for now, but we expect that will drop quite a bit in time.

[@CasepbX]

How good the game mode is of course.

[@paulbmiller24]

Looking forward to the review! I'm curious if it has some of the same issues as the 98" (seemingly all software problems thankfully). Currently, the sticky picture settings between modes, video processing delay with sub-60Hz refresh rates, and color shift with RGB signal (PC connection, seemingly resolvable with the Tint slider) are holding it back a bit, but overall happy with the performance after some moderate tweaks.

[@connerbrenner5371]

How it compares to the upcoming Hisense 110UX!

[@josepheden7178]

Do you think this TV would be a good option for a church looking for large displays on the left and right side of their sanctuary?

[@bigdaddylongnut]

Power draw and the heat coming off the set. I have a 75 inch QM8 and it heats up the whole area it hangs in. It is hanging on a wall but I have it swiveled out a good 14 inches with an ac vent blowing down right above it and the heat coming off the set it tremendous. Can only image what this beast will be putting off.

[@jasonhill9088]

Oh! Man! That box would make a sweet fort!

[@Caleb_Denison]

[@vcam-g9h]

I saw the 98 inch version of this tv selling for 5 grand that is a monster also.

[@webberfan1234]

Imma do the 98” that’s 2k. F it

[@CasepbX]

My Samsung projector was $4000. So yeah, I'd spend 5K on this.

[@TorontoJon]

11:00 Imagine having at least three of those 115 inch screens side by side for flight simulator enthusiasts. :)

[@Caleb_Denison]

OMG! 😮

[@SpidermanandJeny]

I think a lot of ppl that don't get motion sickness would suddenly be prone to motion sickness and the size would be utterly insane. Where would you even put such a setup? The only thing crazier is that video Linus recently did with setting up a GIANT projector set-up at his new building.

[@NextNate03]

I think the tvs would be to big for a 3 screen setup. Something like a VR headset might be a better option.

[@wow-sham1300]

that's 305.8 diagonal inches of screen (48:9) or about 16,940 in^2 vs 5651 in^2 of the single tv

[@TorontoJon]

@@SpidermanandJeny, haha! I totally agree that having three or more of those TCL beasts would be insane, but also fun in a way if money were no object and space was not an issue. Still, one of those screens would be plenty for me. Aside from gaming or flight simulator possibilities on steroids, they would be amazing for stockbrokers or day traders, etc. to track stocks and trends on massive screens. :)

[@Barbarapape]

This is the easy day, the fun will start when you have to repack it to go back. I can appreciate the size of this set, a friend has a 120" motorised projector screen and your jaw drops as it descends from the ceiling and the curtains adjust to the ratio that you wish to watch. I have to make do with a 60" projector screen, but that is the maximum my room can take. Enjoy this monster TV whilst you can

[@SithLordAnakin]

Damn a TV you can ACTUALLY have on the floor and its Eye level while sitting on a couch.

[@KG-un8uy]

This has got to be one of those moments when you take second and think you're blessed to have a pretty cool job.

[@Chuck-RETROGAMECAVE]

Looking forward the quality review. About 3 years ago, I bought a TCL TV for my daughter. It died right after the warranty ran out. I replaced it with a Sony (same size double the cost). The Sony is running perfectly as I expected. I hope the reliability of TCL has improved.

[@randolphblack2554]

Magnificent screen, Caleb and company. I am glad that you were able to safely unpack it without incident. I shall await your review.

[@celioguim]

I attended CES in January and was amazed when I first saw this TV. 😲 I had to struggle to find a spot on the floor just to get a closer look. 😅 I absolutely loved it and plan to buy one when the price drops. 😊 Right now, I'm enjoying my Hisense 100" U76N and I love it! ❤📺

[@Slim2none1]

One thing, that I feel like some people forget, is that you really will want a large space to put this in (obviously) especially when considering heat. Something that big, that bright, in a small theater room would get toasty.

[@logicalChimp]

I nearly bought myself an 8k 88" display a few years ago... but when I went to a shop to view it in person, I felt like I got a suntan in 5 mins when standing a couple of feet away... and even though it was a cool day out, the shop had the aircon running, and it was uncomfortably warm from all the displays...

[@kbhasi]

I remember when Linus from Linus Tech Tips got hold of one intended for sale in China, complete with a DTMB tuner and the custom software they use there, but the same TV is now available with an ATSC tuner and Google TV?! I can only imagine what his reaction would be.

[@markmjames66mj]

I've got the 98" Samsung neo qled, but this moster would go on my wall perfectly.

[@WildBillRidesAgain]

That's funny, and also sad for me.. I just bought the exact same one today and Best Buy can't get it to me till the 13th. That's going to be a rough wait. At least I got them to eat the delivery and setup charge.

[@rockerkunal]

@@WildBillRidesAgain yeah they just called me to tell me it's delayed a few days 😭 sad

[@davidwoods7861]

I got the 100" Hisense from Best buy. Delivery was a joke. So have friends there Incase. They sent a guy and a girl. I had to help them get it in the house and I'm a tiny guy. They refused to carry it downstairs. They set it up on the floor in the living room and ran. I had to have 4 friends come carry it into the basement. Best buy sucks.

[@earthoid]

My living room can easily handle 115 inches, but that BestBuy price of $20K is a bit more than my budget will allow!

[@TorontoJon]

That 115 inch TCL TV looks amazing, Caleb! On the other hand, I have a $125 120 inch pull-down projection screen and a $65 1080p LCD projector (Yeah, not 4K, but I don't care), so for $190, I'll stick to my projection setup in my media room even if I have to dim the lights for movie nights while enjoying my LG 75 inch 4K LED TV for regular everyday viewing in my living room for the time being. Still, I want it, I want it, I want it, I want it. Haha! Incredible! :)

[@whitecrowuk575]

Nowhere near this one though. No projection touches it really. Even if you spend 30k

[@MarsorryIckuatuna]

7:18 That's got to be the most satisfying pulling of plastic film ever. Haha! :)

[@JJ-gl3qr]

4:53 always remember open the tv upside down so you can put the stand son the top then just upside down again

[@buttermilkoreo]

5:51 everytime I see those circular speaker shapes, I'm reminded of those Sony TVs which had them on either side of the TV in the front and i freaking loved that design so much (which i later realized didn't resonate with the majority so Sony had to drop your idea)

[@AbeelSiddiqui]

Ikr?? I thought I was the only one who thought that design was cool. But it make sense they removed it considering that a person buying a flagship tv probably also has a banger home theater setup

[@brunan-gi147]

I owned a 75 inch version of that TV. Beautiful design and the speakers actually sounded great but still did not beat a nice surround system that I had. I wish they were detachable to save space. Also, TVs real glass front paired with those speakers made it so heavy.

[@dimitrikatsaros9212]

For a "true cinematic experience" I'd rather see a 21:9 aspect ratio rather than 16:9. This would be amazing for broadcasted events like the superbowl, though!

[@dougstewart61]

I can see why they would have the 2 outer boxes open from different ends, for strength. If they both opened from the same end that end of the box would be weak. Edit: I like the screw in handles, I think I'd leave them installed as long as there wasn't a snag risk due to a tight space.

[@swhmetta]

Wow, instant thumbs up with you just standing next to the box. That is an enormous tv.

[@danielunderwood5217]

This is the only unboxing worth watching because it is actually amusing to watch the struggle. There is little content on the internet that is a bigger waste of time/space than videos of people being like "inside the cardboard box is the thing on the box. And look! A coed! And look, a a remote!! It even comes with a user manual!!!". No one needs to see that

[@kriswingert1662]

The opposing box openings protect it from coming open during shipment. Simply a stronger box.

[@djchotus1]

I'm in EU. And got what I feel is the 85 inch version of this. The unboxing still haunts me. It's the exact same double box design for the x955. Epic TV

[@williamglassiterjr683]

Hi Mr. Denison, This TV is 😮silly crazy!!! I have two Xbox game consoles limited halo series. Having halo gaming will over whelm me and, I would need a mini movie room to accommodate this massive screen. Just seeing you unbox it lets me now that it will need to go on a wall😅!! I use to have that kind of space before I sold my home but man this is amazing and crazy 😜!! Can’t wait to see the rest of the review on this set. Please enjoy it. William 😇

[@cliffvictoria3863]

I have a QM8 but it's nothing like that one. LOL What a beast! I did have a projector with a 15' display in my previous home so I know what big is like but WOW! I want it. Luckily for my bankroll my wife won't let me spend $28K on a TV. She walked by while I was watching the video and said NO.

That TCL is the same size as the number of the house which my late parents bequeathed to me! ... 115 Chequers Avenue. 115 Chequers Avenue contains a "tiny" 65" LG OLED, with matching LG Direct Drive Washing Machine. I've not moved into 115 Chequers Avenue yet, and here in my apartment, I have a 50" Hisense ULED, and matching Hisense Washing Machine.

[@smiffyOG]

Just ordered one last week. Can't wait!

[@ThatSoddingGamer]

This TV is more than 4x my TV in size. I'm rocking a 55" LG C9 OLED and it's already pretty big considering I watch it from about a body length away in my recliner. Can't see myself ever getting something this big or expensive. With something that large even a short throw projector and its accompanying screen is better value and larger to boot. That said, a 100" OLED would be freakin' sweet.

Mine is still bigger. 115” is still small for the projector crowd but it’s nice that the TV guys will finally get a taste of something a bit bigger. When they stop measuring diagonally you’ll know you’ve finally ‘made it’.

[@whitecrowuk575]

Majority of projector owners do around 120”

[@sage11x]

120” is good. One on my screens is 120”. But most modern projectors can do 120” in their sleep. I’d try to max your wall. If you want a ‘cinematic’ experience you need to get to 50 degrees (FOV). That would mean you would need to sit within 9 ft for this TV. But that calculation gets crazy as you sit further away. If you’re sitting, say, 13 ft away you’d need a 165” (diagonal). Doubt we’ll have 165” TVs anytime soon.

[@whitecrowuk575]

@@sage11x most modern projectors do 120” yes but remember is not about what they can do but how much light they can emit. In a 3-5k region 120” is reasonable max otherwise picture will be dimmer. Besides all those will give you max 200 nits - which is fine in the dark but far cry from what tv can do especially this 5k nits monster. You want proper hdr - you get this and sit within 10-12 feet from it

[@chrisbullock6477]

[@Tedwill-home]

A few months ago, I bought the 98 inch Samsung. At that time, that was the largest television. The first two had major issues and each time Best Buy delivered it, but did not set them up for me. I had to return two of them. Can you imagine the logistics of that? I had to recycle so much cardboard and yes, I recycled the styrofoam too in Ann Arbor Michigan. The third one finally worked. I did not mount it on the wall, but I bought it very large stand for it. It weighs so much. I had to call in several of my friends to help me lift it not once, not twice, but three times due to all the returns. The first time the screen was completely destroyed when it arrived. The second time one of the HDMI ports was not working and Samsung could not fix it. I spent $5000 and Best Buy did not offer to install it for me. The picture quality is amazing. But the implementation is a nightmare. I would never want to do again. This is the last large TV I’m ever going to buy. I think we are quickly approaching the days of short throw projectors with large screens with great picture quality.

The biggest argument against these things is how ABSOLUTELY OBSCENELY HUGE they are. Once they're up there, sure, great experience but... I installed my 120 inch screen solo. I plonked down the nice Epson UST projector on a bench, and then mounted the CLR screen. I coulda used another pair of hands but I did it myself... and if the projector fails, I can package it and carry it out - also myself.
