Bigger TV vs smaller TV: is a 98–100 inch screen actually better, or just bigger? In this video we recap our 65 vs huge size tests on the Sony BRAVIA 5, TCL QM8K, Hisense U8QG, Samsung QN80F, and the Hisense 98QD5QG. Sometimes the big version is a real upgrade, sometimes it’s basically the same, and sometimes it’s a downgrade with worse dimming or color. We walk through the main trends in brightness, local dimming, color, motion, and power use, and help you decide if going from 65 inches to a wall-filling screen makes sense for your room and budget.
