Giant TV, Tiny Price: My Experience with the 98-inch TCL

USATue Dec 31 2024
Ever dreamed of having a movie theater in your living room? Well, TCL's 98-inch TV might just make that dream come true. At $1, 499, it's a massive bargain. But is it worth the trouble? Let's dive in. This TV is huge. I mean, really huge. It's 85. 7 inches wide and 49. 1 inches tall. Finding space for it can be a challenge. I had to get creative, setting it up on folding tables. It's not perfect, but it works. Once it's set up, the immersion is real. Movies and games feel more lifelike. The 4K resolution and HDR support make everything pop. But it's not just about the picture. The sound is solid too, with built-in Dolby Atmos and a subwoofer. However, it's not all perfect. The pixel density isn't as high as on a smaller TV. And at higher volumes, the sound can get a bit screechy. But for the price, it's hard to complain. The TV has plenty of features, like AirPlay, Chromecast, and voice assistant integration. But at the end of the day, it's all about the size. And for that price, it's a steal.
