Hisense has introduced an enormous new TV, the Vidda NEW S100 Pro, featuring a colossal 100-inch screen and a 144Hz refresh rate for potentially smoother visuals. Yet, there are some aspects of the TV that spark questions regarding its overall performance.
Display and Performance
The TV includes a 5-unit 2.1-channel speaker system and Bluetooth 5.4
The TV sports a 3840 x 2160 resolution panel, but it has a limited 192 partition count for backlight dimming. This limitation could lead to a reduced contrast ratio and possible blooming in dark scenes. Additionally, although the display covers 85% of the DCI-P3 color gamut and supports 10-Bit color, these specifications are relatively standard for high-end TVs and may not be particularly exceptional.
Features and Connectivity
On the plus side, the Vidda NEW S100 Pro is equipped with a 5-unit 2.1-channel speaker system, Bluetooth 5.4 connectivity, Wi-Fi 6 for smooth streaming, and offers 4GB of RAM along with 128GB of storage. The port selection is also comprehensive, providing 2 HDMI 4K 144Hz interfaces, 2 HDMI 4K 60Hz interfaces, a USB-A 3.0 interface, an RJ45 network port, a USB-A 2.0 interface, and an antenna input.
Pricing and Availability
The Hisense Vidda NEW S100 Pro is now available on JD.com at a starting price of 8,999 yuan (around $1,360 USD). With its gigantic size and 144Hz refresh rate, this TV could be attractive to those looking for an extraordinarily large home theater setup.
