THE HISENSE 98UX is an excellent, very bright, large-screen flat-panel display capable of simulating a movie theater experience at home as few other LCD-based televisions can. The set is well suited to both movie viewing and live TV, offering an advanced anti-glare screen with a very wide-angle screen. However, we noted some distracting screen reflections under certain conditions (more on this later).
The set comes loaded with many of the latest advanced features and produces one of the brightest pictures we’ve ever tested in a consumer display. In terms of cost, this set isn’t cheap at a suggested retail price of $8,000. Shipping this summer, the price tag will still present a relative bargain at approximately $7,000 less than Samsung’s 98-inch QN98QN90D 4K Neo QLED mini-LED model. If 98 inches isn’t quite large enough for your home theater, Hisense will also offer a 110-inch 110UX model later this year (price and availability to be announced).
