Can you ever have a TV that is too big? That's a debate for spouses to settle, and if you find yourself winning the argument that, no, there's no such thing as too big, then do yourself a solid and check out the super-sized TV deal that will put the notion to the test. You know what's not super-sized, though? The current asking price.
Hisense's Giant 98-Inch QD5 4K QLED Google TV Is On Sale For $899.99
Back in the day, a TV this size would cost a veritable fortune. And now? You can score a
98-inch Hisense QD5 4K QLED Google TV for just
$899.99 at Best Buy (save $1,400 over MSRP). Or put another way, that's barely more than $9 per inch (before tax, because you know, Uncle Sam has to get his cut too).
The caveat is that it won't arrive in time for the Super Bowl. Delivery times are likely to vary based on your location, but in East Tennessee where I reside, I'm seeing a delivery date of Wednesday, February, or a day earlier if going the pickup route.
It's obviously a big TV for the money, and you're not touching OLED or mini LED at this size and price combination. This is also an entry-level model, so if you're looking for a premium display, this isn't for you. If your priority is to go big without paying big money, however, it's definitely worth looking into.
In addition to being a giant-sized TV, the QD5 features a pair of full-bandwidth HDMI 2.1 ports supporting 4K at 144Hz, as well as variable refresh rate (VRR) support. If you're a gamer, those are desirable features. You also get a couple of HDMI 2.0 ports.
Other notable features include Dolby Atmos support, flexible HDR support (Dolby Vision, HDR10+, HDR10, and HLG), and Google TV for its smart platform.
TCL's 98-Inch QM6K Mini LED Google TV Is Large, In Charge And 26% Off
If you have a bigger budget—as in, $600 more—and want to splurge on a mini LED TV of the same size, then have a look at
TCL's 98-inch QM6K mini LED Google TV. It's on sale for
$1,499.99 at Best Buy (save $1,500).
You're getting the same screen estate as the Hisense model above and the same Google TV platform for smart chores, but a brighter and more vibrant mini LED panel. Technically, the QM6K is an entry-level model too, but within the more premium mini LED category.
For gaming, there are two full-bandwidth HDMI 2.1 ports supporting 4K at 144Hz, or an even faster 288Hz at 1080p. Two more HDMI 2.0 ports can be used for non-consoles.
HDR is just as robust on the QM6K too, with Dolby Vision IQ, HDR10+, HDR10, and HLG all supported. In short, it's a better all-around TV and still not anywhere near stupid-expensive.
