TCL 98 Class XL Collection 4K UHD QLED Dolby Vision HDR Smart Google TV 98R754

The TCL XL Collection 98 inch 4k TV has Google TV as the installed OS...This is by far the best possible operating system available today! It allows you to enjoy and install as many Apps you can possibly get! The screen on the TCL is huge at 98 inches diagonal...and there are zero "hot spots" or dead pixels!! Best value for the dollar anywhere. Both Samsung and LG use totally obsolete operating systems that are NOT user friendly! Even after hours and hours of watching this TV is still is amazing. Highly recommend this product!! Read more

I think the overall picture looks great, especially with 4K, SDR and HDR content. All streaming services have different levels of 4K quality but I have found Netflix and Disney to shine and look incredible. Remember garbage in, garbage out with video quality. For instance, you will see a lot of YouTube videos that say 4k but look like pixelated messes because of compression but don't let that fool you. Look up some good 8k content of things like Dubai or rainforest and you can really see what it can look like with quality content. I have this hooked up through my AVR and no issues with Arc. My Xbox X looks amazing on this TV and gaming is like butter. The TV is very bright and the OS is ultra smooth. So far I have found very few bugs or downside yet. I think the only bug that I have seen is if the xbox gets turned on and TV automatically switches inputs to the Xbox through AVR that I don't get sound. I need to just click the HDMI port on the AVR to get sound. Sounds just like a setting or handshake issue. Read more

Picture quality is great especially when your media sources is 4k UHD, HDR10, or Dolby vision. I'd recommend using an apple tv and a 4k UHD blu ray player. Speakers are impressive for a TV. No sound bar or avr system is required unless you prefer the immersive sounds those provide. The TV is very wide and wont fit on most entertainment centers. To mount, refer to the spec sheet to ensure your VESA mount is the correct size and meets the weight requirements. Lifting will require at least two people. Read more

Bought this TV after it went on sale and was some impressive reviews on Youtube. Picture quality is as good as any TV I have seen, crystal clear. Saw some reviews here that says video is blurry. I think this depends on the source more than the TV itself. I use an Apple TV 4K and every has great picture quality. I tested on over the air antenna TV and video is not as good. Many channels are just standard definition and HD is 1080p at best, not 4k. I did not have to adjust any settings on the TV. You may have to make minor settings on your devices to get the best picture quality. For example I had to enable Dolby Vision on my Apple TV 4K. The menu system is easy and simple to navigate, very responsive to your imput, no lag. Overall, very impressed and happy with this purchase. Read more

What can I say about a budget 98" tv.. Just about every review I read was pretty accurate. Great Picture.. Great features.. but this is far from perfect. First off.. the HDMI 2.1 ports suck.. Connecting my PS5 to one of them and then using the eARC to port my sound to my Onkyo RZ50 Receiver, I only get PCM 2.0, not multichannel. I have tried this with plenty of devices.. All of them with the same results. Of course going through my Receiver I get multi channel PCM. My TV also like to randomly drop all sound from HDMI.. that is annoying as all hell.. Let us not get into the grey blotches all over my screen in dark scenes.. since DAY ONE.. of course engaging Local Dimming and High Contrast Ratio and a few other features gets rid of this on HDR or Dolby Vision movies or show.. but any SDR content and you really are SOL.. You shouldn't have to engage "features" that actually take away from picture quality, to make the TV work as intended... I did contact TCL support within a month of owning this TV.. I got a few emails in and then I get we are escalating this, please wait until someone contacts you. I have been waiting for months.. I tried to contact them several times.. First time I get a response to please wait until someone contacts me.. last few times I have been completely ignored.. To spend this kind of money on a TV to get zero support from the manufacturer is unacceptable.. Buyer beware.. hopefully I just got that one silicone lottery bad tv of the bunch and others have had better luck.. but if you need customer support on real problems on this tv.. you will be met with crickets I am afraid.. Last TCL tv I will ever buy.. I always considered them bottom of the barrel. I should have trusted that feeling.. Read more
