What does the Dreame brand remind you of? Probably primarily with robot vacuum cleaners, upright vacuums, and a whole lot of equipment thrown into the drawer in the "small household appliances" category. However, as you well know, we don't specialize in cleaning equipment, and we are primarily interested in screens. With the S100 model, Dreame decided to throw down the gauntlet to market veterans and prove that, in addition to cleaning floors, it can also provide equipment for home entertainment. Is entering the TV segment a bold step in the right direction, or is it more like reaching for the sun with a hoe? You will find the answer to this question in this review!

Review Dreame S100 TV features

DREAME S100 - Our verdict

6.8

Overall rating

Dreame S100 is a successful, albeit still somewhat raw, debut in the Mini-LED segment. The hardware of the TV stands up for itself: the Mini-LED technology with local dimming provides deep and attractive blacks for the average viewer, while the IPS/ADS matrix offers brilliant viewing angles. This is an interesting combination, as it is extremely rare in the LCD TV segment, which will certainly please those with wide living rooms or large corner sofas. If we add to this a full package for gamers (HDMI 2.1, 144 Hz), the Google TV system with an almost endless number of applications, and a very powerful 4.1.2 sound system with a power of 70 W, which performs well above the market average, we get an incredibly versatile screen.

Where's the catch? In the software. Unfortunately, the Dreame S100 suffers from typical "growing pains" – the outdated processor doesn't quite handle advanced digital processing, and the local dimming algorithms can be irritating in more demanding scenes. Additionally, the Google TV system itself can occasionally experience slight stutters. So, if you're looking for a well-equipped Mini-LED for a wide living room and are willing to forgive it for minor system hiccups, which the manufacturer can fix with future updates – it's a very interesting option. The hardware potential is enormous, although the software still needs some final polishing.

The Dreame S100 is a solidly constructed device. The frames around the screen are not among the slimmest, but they fit very well, so the TV does not reveal its mid-range price. At the bottom edge, the manufacturer placed characteristic golden color accents typical for the brand. The device rests on a central stand, and although it is quite plastic, it also received a golden trim at the front. The whole design ties together into a coherent shape. In profile, the S100 turns out to be quite a thick television. This is the result of the expanded lower part of the casing, where Dreame has installed speakers meant to serve as a built-in soundbar. Such a design makes it impossible to hang the TV perfectly flat against the wall. However, this is a compromise that many people will gladly forgive in exchange for sound that is a class better than from typical flat casings of the competition.

Review Dreame S100 Visibility of details in the lights

Dreame S100 is a Mini-LED television that in the 65" version uses an IPS/ADS panel. Such a panel does not naturally offer the best contrast on the market, but thanks to a fairly dense Mini-LED backlight, the black levels in this model are quite decent. In less demanding scenes, the contrast could reach values of 30,000:1. This is several times higher and virtually impossible to achieve for any type of LCD panel without local dimming technology. This makes the black levels and contrast in the S100 quite appealing for a less demanding viewer.

Unfortunately, in more demanding shots where a substantial number of small elements appear on a black background, the local dimming algorithms in the Dreame S100 do not work perfectly. The television can become either excessively dark, resulting in super deep blacks, but almost nothing is visible on the screen, or go in the other direction – a large number of details are visible, but the contrast results are very poor. The black levels in very demanding scenes around bright objects take on a grayish hue (halo effect). This is a typical limitation of Mini-LED televisions from the lower and mid-range, and unfortunately, the Dreame S100 is not an exception that handles this problem particularly well. However, it should be noted that generally, the contrast and black levels are definitely better here than in LCD televisions without any local dimming technology.

The Dreame S100 is a relatively bright television. In movie mode, the brightness we measured reached about 600 nits. This is a really good result, although not the highest, considering the capabilities of the competition in this price range. In fullscreen scenes, it is evident that the television can generate an image that strikes with brightness. Unfortunately, when more complex scenes appeared on the screen, the local dimming algorithm in this model tried above all to maintain the deepest blacks. However, this came at the expense of HDR effect – and in a drastic way. In such scenes, the brightness of bright elements dropped below 100 nits, which is a truly tragic result, far from any HDR effect. This aspect can be improved, though not without any "buts." It is enough to change the local dimming setting in the television's menu, but then the blacks in such scenes simply turn gray. It’s a pity that Dreame could not refine the local dimming algorithms better, and the S100 is another example that the mere number of local dimming zones does not always translate into better image quality. As a consolation, it is worth adding that the Dreame S100 is advertised as a "QLED" television, although in reality it utilizes a PFS LED filter. As a result, the colors are appropriately saturated, and the color gamut coverage we measured exceeded 94% of the DCI-P3 palette.

Review Dreame S100 section HDR effect quality, scene “Pan”

Scene from the movie “Billy Lynn” (about 1100 nits)

Review Dreame S100 section HDR effect quality, scene “Billy Lynn”
The photos show two HDR10 movies. 'Pan' is one of the brightest productions ever made, while 'Billy Lynn' (soldier) has brightness typical of streaming (Netflix, Prime, HBO MAX). Notice the intensity of effects and detail in whites.

Looking at real movie scenes in HDR10 signal, it's hard to have major complaints about the S100 itself. The TV handles detail reproduction quite well in typical HDR scenes (mastered to 1000 nits). In the film Billy Lynn, the image was coherent, bright effects such as fireworks did not merge into one spot and were full of details, and the actor was rendered correctly. Definitely worse, though not terribly bad, the TV struggled with very challenging movie scenes mastered even to 4000 nits, such as in the film Pan from 2015. Unfortunately, in such scenes, bright highlights merged into one spot, and the sun, which we always take pictures of, was not perfectly visible.

HDR luminance chart:

Although automatic tone mapping is definitely not a strong point of the Dreame S100, the Dolby Vision format comes in handy here, which is truly helpful in this model. As seen in our comparison photo with horses on a white meadow, the Dolby Vision signal brings a significant change to the S100. The image is more coherent, there is definitely a greater amount of detail, and the image itself appears more contrasted. This is definitely good news, as the HDR Dolby Vision format is found on the vast majority of streaming platforms, and most new productions are equipped with this dynamic metadata format straight from Hollywood.

Factory color reproduction

5/10

We tested the Dreame S100 in "movie" mode and definitely recommend using this setting for watching all kinds of content. Interestingly, in the deeper settings of the TV, we also find a dedicated "Filmmaker" mode, which is available today from almost every manufacturer. However, in the case of the Dreame S100, we do not recommend using it – it blocks all image-related settings and does not allow any configuration in the menu - not even motion smoothing. So how do the factory colors perform on the S100? Not too bad, but also not great. The TV itself was quite heavily tinted with blue components, which is clearly visible in our white balance measurements. This caused the image to be artificially brightened, and the colors had a slight bluish tint. This is confirmed by the Color Checker palette, which showed how color samples leaned towards blue, generating quite significant color errors. The image in HDR mode looked definitely better, where color errors were not as prominently visible, though they still fell far from ideal. Here, the white balance was also too heavily skewed towards the blue color, which caused quite significant errors in color reproduction.

This gallery shows how colors change after professional TV calibration. If you notice the difference, we recommend ordering this service at SkalibrujTV.com.

Color reproduction after calibration

7.5/10

The Dreame S100 turned out to be a device very susceptible to professional calibration. In its menu, we found a whole array of advanced options that allowed us to effectively correct factory errors. Thanks to advanced white balance correction – both in SDR and HDR content – we completely eliminated excess blue components. The image immediately became much more natural and pleasant to view. After fully tuning the colors, errors in the Color Checker test dropped below Delta E values of 2-3. For the average viewer, this means that any color distortions have become nearly impossible to notice with the naked eye. This is a really nice surprise, as often new brands in the television market have significant problems with proper implementation and functioning of sliders in the calibration menu. Here, everything worked as it should. The only thing we need to criticize is the way the television manages its brightness in HDR. Due to the specific nature of the local dimming algorithms, we observed anomalies in the EOTF curve we measured. In the areas where high highlights should appear, there is a slight uplift of the curve above the reference line. In practice, this results in unnatural brightening of some of the brightest elements in movies or games. Despite this minor flaw, professional calibration brings a huge, very positive change to this model.

DREAME S100 - Smoothness of tonal transitions

8/10

The transition between individual shades on the Dreame S100 is quite good. Analyzing most content in HDR10 format, we did not notice significant issues with banding. Only some very extreme and dark scenes revealed a problem with contouring of shades. However, the situation is a bit worse with content in Dolby Vision* format. Here, the color gradation clearly worsens, and the tonal transitions from one color to another are more visible and distinct from each other. Therefore, the rating of this element on our site is slightly lower when considering viewing (on streaming platforms) in this format.

Review Dreame S100 section Upscaling and digital image processing, shot with a model
The match photo shows how the TV smooths weak tonal transitions in low-quality video. The model photo shows how it handles upscaling of SD material.

The scaling and digital processing in the Dreame S100 is handled by a technology that the manufacturer proudly calls Dreamind™ Pro AI. However, it is essential to clarify that this is not a proprietary processor but merely a marketing name for a chip from MediaTek – specifically, the model MT5889. Unfortunately, we are talking about quite an outdated unit, from the time when MediaTek lagged significantly behind the competition in terms of performance. This, unfortunately, has a direct impact on the image, as this chip is responsible for that as well. The upscaling in the S100 is rather mediocre, and the processor tends to strongly and artificially sharpen edges (fortunately, this can be somewhat tempered with the sharpness slider in the menu). In the options, we also find a "Contour Smoothing" function, which theoretically is supposed to improve tonal transitions. In practice, it brings almost no improvement – setting it to any level rarely eliminates visible color banding but can unnecessarily blur elements of the image that should remain sharp.

A separate problem is the phenomenon of overscan (clipping the edges of the frame), which is almost always visible here. Although there is an option to set the screen to display the full frame in low-resolution materials, it requires activating the aforementioned Filmmaker mode. And as you already know, this mode completely blocks any other adjustments in the image menu. In our test tables, we noted that the television offers the option to disable overscan, as technically such a feature exists in the system – however, in everyday use, with reasonable image settings, you will not be able to take advantage of it.

Review Dreame S100 Blur and motion smoothness

When it comes to motion fluidity, the Dreame S100 performs really well. It features a panel with a 144 Hz refresh rate, although in reality, the vast majority of users using it in a traditional way will still be limited to 120 Hz (because today's equipment, apart from PCs, only allows for such values). Thanks to the high refresh rate, the image in motion remains really sharp, largely due to the well-functioning MEMC fluidity enhancer. In the menu, we find predefined modes that allow the TV to efficiently add artificial frames, which effectively improves the fluidity of dynamic sports shots, but also helps get rid of image stuttering in film and series materials recorded at 24 frames.

The motion blur in the S100 is really minor, and there isn’t a strong glow trailing behind moving objects. This is all thanks to the IPS/ADS panel used here, which inherently offers less motion blur than the vast majority of VA panels. The only point we can nitpick is the fact that when objects move against a dark background, the glow is more noticeable than on those with a light background – although it still isn’t very prominent.

Review Dreame S100 Console compatibility and gaming features

The Dreame S100 seems almost like the perfect screen for gamers. The TV is equipped with 2 HDMI 2.1 ports with a bandwidth of 40 Gbps, which means that features such as Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) and Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) synchronization in the range of 48-144 Hz work seamlessly on consoles. It also has a well-designed game panel (Game Bar) that allows you to continuously check the most important parameters – from active picture modes to the number of frames rendered by the console, and even the ability to add a crosshair in the center of the screen. All of this looks great on paper, but the biggest issue with the S100 is the implementation of HDR mode in games. The TV does not have a properly implemented HGiG format. As a result, an unsuspecting user may incorrectly configure the console during the initial setup of the display. A wrong configuration can lead to a picture that is too dark or too bright (as a guideline: we suggest setting the brightness in the Xbox console menu to about 600 nits, and in the PS5 to 12 clicks). The Dolby Vision format is also problematic; it often just would not activate at all when using the XBOX – Dreame S100 line. And when it was managed to be activated, gaming was impossible due to a very high input lag that often exceeded 100ms. If the manufacturer can improve the HDR issue in games through an update, the S100 will be truly excellent equipment for gamers. For now, however, one must reckon with compromises.

Aside from the aforementioned problem with Dolby Vision, the input lag on the Dreame S100 is really very low. Values around 5-6 ms at a refresh rate of 120 Hz and 12-15 ms for 60 Hz are such excellent results that even a professional gamer won't be able to feel any delay during gameplay. The response to movements on the controller is almost instantaneous here.

Review Dreame S100 section Computer compatibility, font readability test

The Dreame S100 performs well as a large gaming monitor. It has a 144 Hz panel and easily supports G-Sync and FreeSync. The problem arises when you want to work with text on it. Due to a software bug, the television does not handle full color sampling (Chroma 4:4:4) at 120 Hz and 144 Hz refresh rates, causing the fonts to appear blurry. To make the text perfectly sharp, you need to manually lower the refresh rate to 60 Hz in Windows. This is quite an irritating solution that forces constant switching between settings if you want to use this screen for both work and gaming.

DREAME S100 - Viewing angles

6.6/10

Brightness drop at an angle of 45 degrees: 68%

The viewing angles on the Dreame S100 are really good, thanks to the ADS panel. Unlike VA panels, this type of screen allows you to view the image at a steep angle without a noticeable loss in color saturation and brightness. This comes at the cost of worse native contrast; however, for most viewers (especially those with a wide couch), it will be quite a good compromise. There is a lack of Mini-LED TVs with good viewing angles at a reasonable price on the market today, so the S100 nicely fills this niche.

The Dreame S100 easily performs well in most living rooms during the day. The television is equipped with a satin finish on the screen – while it may not perfectly reduce reflections, it does an excellent job of preserving color saturation, which does not fade when the room is bright. In terms of pure brightness, the S100 features a moderately bright screen. At peak brightness in SDR format, it can reach about 600 nits. Such a reserve allows it to be placed in a typically sunlit room, although – let's be honest – it is not a brightness demon, and it may struggle with direct, harsh sunlight.

Smart TV: Google TV

Dreame S100 uses the Google TV operating system. This is great news for anyone looking for a TV with access to almost all streaming apps on the market. The system operates quite smoothly, although it occasionally experiences slight stutters – which is a classic issue in most Chinese TVs with Google software. On board, we find almost every necessary Smart TV feature, including screen mirroring and voice search using Google Assistant. Unfortunately, the Dreame S100 lacks support for AirPlay, so iPhone users won't be able to easily share content from their phones.

TV Features

Unfortunately, the Dreame S100 is not a TV designed for traditional television viewers. Apart from basic options for connecting headphones or a fairly simple remote control equipped with a numeric keypad, we won't find virtually any additional features to facilitate everyday viewing of traditional channels. The only nice and, recently, quite rarely found addition is the presence of a physical headphone jack output. This allows for the connection of older wired headphones or analog audio sets.

Review Dreame S100 TV features

The sound of the Dreame S100 is one of the greatest advantages of this model – it is really good. The TV is equipped with a 4.1.2 speaker system with a total power of 70 W. The sound is clean, with distinctly perceivable bass, which is confirmed by our acoustic measurements. Large drivers placed on the sides of the cabinet effectively widen the soundstage. As a result, we get a noticeably more spacious sound than with standard 20-watt 2.0 systems. The device supports Dolby Atmos encoding, so we can easily play spatial audio tracks from streaming platforms without the need to purchase an external soundbar. Unfortunately, it lacks support for the DTS format – this is a downside, although we must honestly admit that this standard has recently been abandoned by most manufacturers. On the positive side, the audio connection options are commendable. The Dreame S100 can easily be connected to newer home theaters or soundbars via the HDMI eARC port or optical output. A nice and increasingly rare addition is the classic minijack headphone jack, which gives a second life to older audio sets.

The QLED+ coating with quantum dots reproduces over a billion colors at 93% DCI-P3. Support for Dolby Vision, HDR10+, HDR10, and HLG enhances the realism of movies, series, and broadcasts.

Image Processing

The Dreamind™ Pro AI processor in the DREAME 65S100 analyzes the displayed content in real-time and optimizes contrast, colors, sharpness, and brightness. The D-AI Resolution and D-AI Clarity features improve the quality of older low-resolution materials, ensuring that details are legible. D-AI Scene recognizes the type of content and adjusts picture settings to its nature.

Full-Size Sound

DREAME 65S100 utilizes a Dreame Master Sound System with 70 W power in a 4.1.2 configuration. Four tweeters deliver precise high tones, while the Ultra Drum subwoofer generates deep bass down to 45 Hz. The balanced sound remains clear at various volume levels and excels during movies, concerts, and games.

Sound Tailored to the Room

Four upward-firing speakers in the DREAME 65S100 work with Dolby Atmos, creating a spatial sound field vertically and horizontally. The applied AI-powered EQ analyzes the room's acoustics and the type of material and automatically adjusts the sound. Dialogues, effects, and background are well-balanced without the need for manual adjustment of settings.

Ready for Dynamic Gaming

DREAME 65S100 supports 144 Hz, VRR, HDMI 2.1, and MEMC, which contributes to a smooth image without stuttering. Auto Low Latency Mode reduces response time to 8 ms, and Game Console Mode allows for quick switching of HDR, using an on-screen crosshair, and customizing audio settings for gaming.
