WEBVTT 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:06.000 We're here at CES and I am super excited because I've been genuinely looking 00:00:04.160 --> 00:00:09.519 forward to seeing just what High Sense has to offer us. I think for many years, 00:00:08.320 --> 00:00:14.639 High Sense has been one of those companies that's been really underappreciated for making some of the 00:00:12.480 --> 00:00:18.240 best TVs at their price points. And I think their coming out party started 00:00:16.560 --> 00:00:24.640 when they really started showcasing their big boy premium TVs like the 116 00:00:22.080 --> 00:00:28.960 UXS. It's the successor to the TV that Lionus tried out last year, and he loved 00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:35.040 the look of it for its insanely bright, vibrant colors, and now it's even better 00:00:31.279 --> 00:00:37.040 thanks to the RGB LED Evo. I just love 00:00:35.040 --> 00:00:41.280 me some tech names, you know. The flagship improvement, and thus the 00:00:39.120 --> 00:00:48.079 beautiful EVO in the name is the addition of a cyan, or as Highense calls 00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:50.879 it, sky blue, to the RGB mini LEDs. 00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:55.199 Highense claims that cyan sits right in the color spectrum where human vision is 00:00:52.879 --> 00:01:00.160 most sensitive to subtle changes and its addition allows the 116 UXS to render 00:00:58.079 --> 00:01:05.119 gradients, tones, and transitions with a level of nuance that feels more natural 00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:07.439 and lifelike. That is a direct quote. I 00:01:05.119 --> 00:01:10.960 would never have written that. It's really hard to know exactly how that 00:01:09.119 --> 00:01:15.439 will translate into the real world experience with the kind of demo content 00:01:13.360 --> 00:01:21.680 that they're playing on the TV, but I can assure you this TV is a feast for 00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:25.200 the eyes and a feast for the mind in the 00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:28.400 fact that it has 110% of the BT 2020 00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:31.119 color space coverage. That's wild. 00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:34.400 That's a 15% jump over the claim they made last year. That's a big big 00:01:32.960 --> 00:01:38.479 improvement. And it's not hard to believe when you look at the display. We 00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:43.600 don't have official pricing on this year's model, but last year's model was 00:01:40.880 --> 00:01:47.040 a penny short of 30 grand, and I imagine that we're looking at a very similar 00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:51.360 price for the one behind me. The best news might be that one of High Sense's 00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:55.360 big focus this year was getting all the tech they crammed into their Halo 00:01:53.040 --> 00:02:00.320 products last year into their more excessively priced models like the UR8 00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:04.240 and the UR9, which will come in all the TV sizes you will likely actually 00:02:02.399 --> 00:02:08.239 consider for your home and at a price that you won't need to sell your car to 00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:12.480 finance. And if the quality of last year's tech is anything to go by, I 00:02:10.640 --> 00:02:16.000 think that once again, the High Sense lineup will be a strong contender for 00:02:14.160 --> 00:02:19.760 best price to performance in the display world when they come out later this 00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:23.920 year. Just like I'm still going to be thanking Dbrand until later this year 00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:28.800 for sponsoring this CS coverage, our previous sponsor that we had lined up 00:02:26.160 --> 00:02:33.280 dropped us last minute. And like a dang vulture, Dbrand swooped in because 00:02:31.200 --> 00:02:37.280 apparently we help them sell overpriced stickers. But what about their phone 00:02:34.959 --> 00:02:41.760 cases? the kill switches, screen protectors, and other random doodads 00:02:39.519 --> 00:02:47.840 that I don't really understand if I'm being honest. What I do understand is 00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:50.319 that my sponsor keeps dropping out.com. 00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:56.560 Now, back to the show. But if all you care about is size, may I introduce you 00:02:53.040 --> 00:03:01.680 to the 163 MX? Yeah, you heard that 00:02:56.560 --> 00:03:03.840 number right. This 163 microLEDD TV is 00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:08.159 vibrant as all heck. And the big improvement here is the addition of 00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:11.280 yellow to the microLED tech, which should help with some highlights 00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:15.680 popping, the gold color, and better skin tones. And High Tense even claims that 00:03:13.440 --> 00:03:19.760 it should reduce eye strain. We'll see about that. But it still has some of the 00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:23.599 big downsides that make this feel more like a commercial display than something 00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:28.879 you'd actually want in your living room. For one, the contrast is so pushed that 00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:31.680 the blacks look kind of off, and there's not really detail in the darks in the 00:03:30.239 --> 00:03:36.159 way that I'd want to see on a high-end display. And the other one is when 00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:40.720 you're a little bit offaxis, you can start to see the panel seams. And that's 00:03:38.480 --> 00:03:47.519 fine when you're straight on, but I don't want any compromises when I'm 00:03:42.640 --> 00:03:49.760 spending uh $100,000. 00:03:47.519 --> 00:03:54.239 And that was for the smaller model over there. Who knows what the this one's 00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:57.760 going to cost. Am I right? Uh thankfully there'll be an 85in model. Uh that 00:03:56.400 --> 00:04:03.360 should be a little bit cheaper, but you're not going to get it. I'm not going to get it. Lionus isn't going to 00:04:01.040 --> 00:04:08.159 get it. with too much. And if you want that less than 10% price, and you still 00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:12.560 want jiant, High Sense has got you covered with their comprehensive lineup 00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:18.000 of projectors, including the new XR10 with what they claim is the industry 00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:21.600 widest optical zoom, up to 130 vertical 00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:24.800 and 46° horizontal lens ship, uh, which 00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:27.040 will be a hybrid of optical and digital. 00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:31.199 So, take that number as you will. And they claim it's the world's first 00:04:28.479 --> 00:04:37.199 17piece all glass lens on a projector. And it's 6,000 lumens. That's really 00:04:34.479 --> 00:04:41.840 impressive for a package that small. I could fit it into my stupid backpack, 00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:46.000 not the computer, the full size one. I really appreciate that this is the one 00:04:43.520 --> 00:04:50.240 spot they're showing real content so I can get an idea of what this projector 00:04:47.520 --> 00:04:53.600 will actually give me in the real world. Unfortunately, that means that it 00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:57.759 doesn't pop as much as the other displays. So hopefully we can get one of 00:04:55.520 --> 00:05:01.680 these bad boys back at the office uh so we can take a closer look. There's no 00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:05.120 official word on pricing, but when I talked to the rep at one of the booths, 00:05:03.840 --> 00:05:09.199 he said that it's going to cost more than the L9 Q, which comes in at around 00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:13.759 6 grand. So that should give you an idea of what it's going to cost when this bad 00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:18.880 boy releases in either June or July, so they say. Highense makes so much more 00:05:16.320 --> 00:05:23.280 than I realized. Like an AI powered Okay, everything is AI powered now. So, 00:05:21.280 --> 00:05:27.039 okay. Uh, let us know down in the comments what AI powered device you'd 00:05:25.280 --> 00:05:30.080 like to see us cover back at the studio. And make sure you're subscribed to Short 00:05:28.479 --> 00:05:34.639 Circuit so you don't miss any of our very, very sexy CES coverage. Wait, why' 00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:37.440 I say that? That's for our other channel. Yes.
