TCL 98-Inch QLED TV Unveiled at CES 2022

CES 2022 just wrapped up, and there’s plenty to unpack, including the mammoth 98-inch QLED TV unveiled by manufacturer TCL. Their latest extra-large television promises an elevated home viewing experience on a display that’s over eight feet wide. With that, the 98-inch model joins TCL’s existing XL or Xtra Large Collection TV range.

Although best known for its television sets, TCL also designs, develops, and manufactures a range of mobile phones and various home appliances.

TCL’s all-new 98-inch QLED TV was one of the stars of the latest CES event in Las Vegas. Attendees of CES 2022 will have been among the first in the U.S. to get up close and personal with the TCL 98R754 4K TV. Here’s everything you need to know about the new TCL TV.

Apart from its size, the 98-inch TV has a lot to offer cinema fanatics. Highlights of the 98-inch TV set include:

With that, TCL’s latest addition to its XL Collection is equipped with Android TV, built-in Chromecast functionality, and Google Assistant support. The manufacturer also used cinema-inspired technologies to bring out every detail on the screen. As a result, the TV has brilliantly accurate colors and delivers breathtaking contrast, all with exceptional realism.

Of course, the latest extra-large TCL set isn’t an inexpensive proposition. The company has given its 98-inch 98R754 4K TV a suggested retail price of $7,999.99. For that, buyers also get the manufacturer’s latest-generation AiPQ Engine, full-array local dimming, and a dedicated gaming mode, plus a host of other features.

While TCL may lack some of the prestige of brands like Samsung and Sony, there’s no disputing that the 98R754 4K TV looks the part. In fact, its edge-to-edge glass design and brushed metal finish mean that the 98-inch behemoth feels like nothing short of a truly premium product.

Price-wise, no other manufacturer currently comes close to touching TCL and its 98-inch 98R754 4K TV in terms of outright value for money. For example, Sony’s smaller, albeit higher-resolution, 85-inch Bravia XR Z9J 8K LED TV costs just a penny under $9,000.

Meanwhile, the manufacturer’s fractionally larger 100-inch 4K Bravia XR X92 LED TV costs a staggering $19,999.99. So, comparatively, TCL’s new TV is a great price.

Prospective buyers can pick up TCL’s latest addition to its Xtra Large Collection from selected retailers. These retailers include existing TCL stockists such as Best Buy, Walmart, and Target. With anticipated demand for the 98-inch TCL 98R754 4K TV understood to be extremely high, some retailers are selling sets for above the manufacturer’s suggested retail price.

Customers can also buy online from Amazon.com, with stock currently available to order at the 98-inch TCL 98R754 4K TV’s $7,999.99 MSRP.

Anyone spending thousands of dollars on a new television should protect their purchase. One of the best ways to do this is with an extended warranty. Manufacturer-offered solutions for products from many of the best TV brands, like LG, Samsung, and Sony, are widely available.

Yet, these can be prohibitively costly and, despite their high prices, may not offer sufficient levels of coverage to afford complete peace of mind to buyers. The same goes for TCL’s Protection Plans.

Thankfully, customers can access premium and comprehensive protection with Upsie. By cutting out the middleman, Upsie costs up to 70 percent less than the cost of protection sold elsewhere. In addition, customers gain comprehensive coverage in the event of manufacturer defects, mechanical faults, screen burn-in, dead pixels, and more.

Upsie also offers a range of two-year, three-year, and five-year policies. Each TV warranty plan offers a variety of convenient local repair and replacement options, all with no deductible to pay in the event of a claim.

Customers can purchase an Upsie TV warranty for TVs bought in the last 11 months.
