Things to consider when buying one of the best 100-inch TVs

Buying a TV of this magnitude is not just a purchase; it's a renovation project. Once you step over the 97-inch threshold, the rules of normal TV buying no longer apply.

Here is what you need to check before you tap your credit card.

Installation logistics

Before you worry about picture quality, you need to worry about physics. A 100-inch TV won't fit in a standard passenger lift, and it you may struggle to get it around a tight hallway corner. You aren't just measuring the wall; you need to measure the door frame, the hallway width, and the stairwell clearance.

Remember as well that the box is significantly larger than the screen itself. The packaging for a 100-inch TV is roughly 2.5 metres long by 1.5 metres high. If you live in an apartment above the ground floor, check if the retailer offers a "site inspection" service so you don't end up with a $10,000 TV stuck in the lobby.

Viewing distance

Bigger is usually better, but there is a limit. If you sit too close to a 100-inch panel, you will physically have to turn your head to see the minimap in a video game or the action on the sidelines of a footy match.

For a screen this size, the golden rule is to sit between 3.5 and 4.5 metres away. While you can sit closer (around 3 metres) for a cinema-like "field of view" experience, four metres is generally more comfortable for casual viewing like news or sport to avoid eye strain.

Wall strength and installation

A 100-inch TV can weigh upwards of 60kg to 80kg without the packaging, so you cannot simply hang this on standard dry-wall anchors. You will need a heavy-duty mount that spans at least two – preferably even three - timber studs (standard Australian spacing is 450mm or 600mm).

If you have metal studs, which are common in new apartments, you may even need to reinforce the wall with plywood backing. Consider paying for professional installation here, as even just lifting a screen this size is a 3-to-4 person job.

Mini-LED vs OLED

At this size, the technology battle changes due to cost and physics. Mini-LED (found in Samsung Neo QLED, Sony Bravia, and Hisense U Series) is currently the "smart" buy for the best 100-inch TV screens.

They are incredibly bright, helping the massive screen punch through ambient light, and are significantly cheaper to manufacture at this size.

While OLED models (like the LG evo G5 and M5) exist at 97+ inches, the price jumps astronomically, often exceeding $30,000. Unless you have a dedicated, light-controlled cinema room and a limitless budget, Mini-LED is likely the more practical choice.

Heat and Energy

A screen this size will act like a giant radiator. In a small, enclosed media room, a 100-inch TV can raise the room temperature noticeably after a few hours of viewing, so make sure your room has good airflow or air conditioning.

You should also expect these beasts to consume significantly more power than a standard 65-inch TV. While modern LEDs are efficient, lighting up 100 inches of pixels takes serious power, so be sure to check the energy rating label.

Frequently asked questions

• Is a 100-inch TV too big?

  No, it's all a matter of personal preference. Some people enjoy the immersive experience of a large-screen TV, while others prefer something smaller.

• How close should a 100-inch TV be to a couch?

  Ideally, you should sit about 3.5-4.5 metres from a 100-inch TV for optimal viewing experience. However, the distance also depends on the resolution and quality of the TV.

• What is the most popular TV size?

  65-inch TVs are currently the most popular TV size, as they offer a good balance between size and price, up from 55 inches a few years ago. However, this can vary depending on personal preferences and trends.

• What size cabinet do I need for a 100-inch TV?

  You will need a cabinet at least 88 inches wide to accommodate a 100-inch TV. It's important to measure the width and height of your TV before purchasing a cabinet to ensure it fits properly. With that said, some 100-inch TVs come with centralised stands that have a much smaller footprint.

• Which is better: QLED or OLED?

  Both QLED and OLED TVs have their own strengths and weaknesses. QLED offers brighter colours and better viewing angles, while OLED provides deeper blacks and better contrast. Ultimately, it depends on your personal preference and budget.
