Project movies anywhere with the NexiGo Nova Mini! lmg.gg Sometimes, bigger isn't better. While the Hisense 116UX and RGB miniLED in general is impressive, stepping down from ~20,000 full-array local dimming zones to ~10,000 or even ~3600 is a tough pill to swallow when the display stays the same size.

The video opens with Linus comparing the new Hisense 116UX RGB miniLED to the previously owned world’s largest TV, highlighting the dramatic difference in dimming zones and the potential impact on bloom and contrast. He acknowledges that while the 116UX promises unprecedented color volume and strong HDR potential, there is a looming question: does more backlight zoning translate to better real-world image quality, or do other factors such as processing and motion handling still sway the outcome? Early on, the discussion centers on how many zones the display uses, how that interacts with blooming around bright objects, and what the lab tests show regarding color accuracy, brightness, and HDR performance. The team teases a side-by-side decision, teasing the idea of swapping the TCL display currently on the wall with the new Hisense, while also mentioning a sponsor and a mini projector for space constrained setups. Their back-and-forth sets the stage for a head-to-head that combines subjective viewing impressions with objective measurements, all while acknowledging that there may not be a perfect winner across all scenarios.

Questions answered
- What factors most influenced the final preference between the Hisense 116UX and the TCL model?
- The final preference was driven by a combination of dimming zone performance, HDR brightness and color volume, motion handling, and overall image processing quality, with TCL sometimes edging out Hisense in perceived bloom and color handling in practice.
- Did the RGB miniLED backlight meet expectations in all tested areas?
- RGB miniLED showed strong potential, especially in brightness and color volume, but it did not meet every expectation, particularly in blooming control and some dimming zone behavior in real scenes, leading to a nuanced conclusion.
