I was going to post the same thing but you beat me to it, the innuendo is more subtle now which should keep the politically correct namby pambies happy.
I have the Hisense U76 100inch, it only has 256 local dimming zones and it’s been great so far I’ve been gaming and watching movies for 3 weeks and maybe I’ve only noticed very slight blooming once. And black bars around my movies are black, like pitch 😂black, not to far away from my old LG CX OLED. So maybe it has something to do with processing too.
Can you compare it to an LG OLED? Looking to go up in size with this one over a LG OLED C9 65".

Respect to you Vinny. Even if it is known you collaborate with TCL... still you manage to make such a nuanced and unbiased review for the people... proving that you always have our back. Thats all too rare nowadays. You have always been this way tho so I am not surprised. Just wanted to give you a shout out and say thank you !
I'd like shootouts between TCL + Hisense against Sony + Samsung, especially when you can find equivalent sizes or equivalent price points. You could even look at an old model that is available for the same price + size.

You can turn off specific HDR modes in the secret menu. Note, not the developer access menu. It's dependant on if it's running Android or Google TV OS so check that first.
I’m currently using a 2010 Sony VW80 projecting on a 100” screen. I was waiting for 98” Oled to get sub 10k euros price… would you wait or get something like this one?
i don't understand why we don't have choices for PQ EOTF tracking. Have a "bright" preset for people who want a brighter than reference picture and an "accurate" preset for people who want accurate EOTF tracking.

off topic , but why sound bars matters if it is still just in the front and does not give physically directional sound but rather just a better sound ?
Better sound is meaningless? But soundbars are shit. I’ve owned 2 best Samsung soundbars. Total dogshit for music. Anything not-soundbar is better.

Great video! Matches our opinions on TCL's New Flagship 98" QM951G QD MiniLED TV that we have on display in our showroom along with TCL's 115" QM891G. The 115" QM891G has TCL's upgraded processor, 20,000 local dimming zones and is brighter (5000 Nits of HDR Peak Luminance) then the 98" QM851G
How's the motion and blooming? I'm in the market for a big TV but I've been waiting for an OLED or microLED because once you see infinite contrast, it's really hard to go back. I'd like at least 98 inches but would prefer a price closer to $10k than $20k.

TCL is so damn good man. I dont give a F what the haters say and it. I ran the QM7 for a few weeks and I absolutely floored by how good it was. There were a few issues obviously with a TV for that price but man! For $499 bucks I dont think you could ask for a better TV. I was a few days away from Sending my LG C4 OLED Back to Amazon and keeping the QM7. The only reason I decided to keep the OLED was the Amazing Black Levels with 0 Blooming. I found myself feening for those black levels. Although, the QM7 black levels are amazing in its own right. If I never saw the OLED Before the QM7 there is no way you could convince me that the black levels could get any better. I gamed on the QM7, I watched Movies on the QM7, I used the QM7 as a PC Monitor daily. I loved the fact that I didn't have to police how I use the Display at all. I could leave it on all day if I wanted to and not worry about ruining a very expensive TV. I considered Returning both the QM7 and the LG C4 and Getting the QM8 and seeing if those Black levels would give me what I wanted. Ultimately I just decided to keep the C4 because Amazon gave me a $400 dollar Refund to go towards the TV so it just made more sense to keep this TV I already have vs going through the hassle of Boxing and Unboxing another TV. But, I'll be honest. In a Perfect world. I would've just kept QM7 and put that money I saved towards something else. The Colors of the Quantum Dots are Amazing! Honestly, If you dont care about Inky Black Levels. On the Surface I cant find anything else i would want on the QM7 vs. The more expensive OLED. I think TCL is gonna take alot of business from the Big 3 TV companies because they can produce a "Just as Good" to about 95% of ppl TV that doesn't break the bank and they can provide way larger TVs that alot of ppl will prefer over smaller more expensive OLEDS.
Wow! calling this a bargain that sells for 4k+ is aspreading false information . Sponsored garb video. Just to brainwash and promote and hype people...
@DMM_Fan: Please name us another 98-inch TV with Mini LED backlighting, 2000 nits of HDR peak brightness & 1500+ local dimming zones for less than $4k. We'll wait. And this isn’t a sponsored video-it’s a technical review based on objective measurements and thorough testing. If it's a sponsored video, why would we mention the TV's shortcomings, such as intermittent microstutter with 50Hz content, overbrightened Dolby Vision presentation & HDR Game mode, etc.? We pride ourselves on being honest and transparent in our reviews, consistently presenting both the strengths and weaknesses of every TV we test, so that potential buyers can make an informed decision.
Too late for me - only today just bought the LG 98QNED89STA. 110,000 THAI BAHT/ £2,540. Ok, not mini-Led, but not TCL either - apart from the CSOT VA Panel.😂
@@alsayedfakhri4597 - that's reserved for the next series up. No doubt LG will probably produce a 98 inch, Mini-led, in 2025. For now - this model is more than acceptable. Great Blacks & excellent processing. I've to wait around 10 days before it's delivered - a bit short of stock, apparently.
I really want to buy a big TV from TCL, but I'm so worried about reliability. I don't want to spent this much money, only to have it broken after 1-2 years. Can somebody share some experiences?
@@Kalyi89 - that's precisely why I went LG @ 98 inch. Just lowering the odds of something going tits-up. Managed to get a full, 3 years guarantee - no mean feat in Thailand.
Do people really prefer the EARC not having 2.1?!? I’m quite annoyed at that since it’s want my AVR to have it in case I’m connecting things to it instead of the tv. The TVs have 2! So you have still have 1 and have both options then idk.. I don’t like it. Hopefully 2025 Hisense or TCL change that
So much hate in the comments. LOL. For what? I'll never understand the hate for decent products and lower prices. You can hate China all you want, but as long as they are producing great TVs like these for lower cost. I shall not complain. Besides, Most ppl who are talking shlt have never actually used the product to be begin with. More Spreading Misinformation and FUDD for no reason. Man, I hate the Internet sometimes.
Unfortunately, motion clarity & handling is the one thing I just can't downgrade after experiencing my Sonys fix shoddy film direction. It's a case of being spoiled once you've had a taste of actually being able to decipher fast action without it being a blurry incoherent mess that content often likes to push in pursuit of atmosphere or artsy fartsy creative intent If we're paying big money to see something, give us clarity, give us luminance, none of this seizure-cam nonsense scene-lit by a scented candle. Until the day the industry gets that right, I'm going for proper backlight control over more zones, & motion smoothness/clarity/preceding over stretched out size The move to native10bit gradation is a move in the right direction. I remember experiencing 12bit output from my PC, and with these brighter LED displays the level of realism that portrayed simply by subconsciously feeling more nuances at the higher luminance made it feel less like I was looking at something flat but rather thru something, akin to rewatching your TV after freshly cleaning long accumulated layer of dust off, so yes more native 10bit panels for modulated 12bit reproduction please!
i buy 65 inch g4 or go with big size lg c4 77inch.... Pls reply must... I from india.... Big fan of ur work sir... in india Bpbig size are very costly 65inch to 77 inch oled are big differnce
perception of brightness increases logarithmically, not linearly. 2000 nits does not appear twice as bright as 1000 nits, it only appears about 25% brighter approximately.
Doesn't matter how cheap or big these TCL'scare they will never match even the cheapest Oled's. The 98" would only make its flaws more unbearable and easier to see
@lucee2261 Projectors are designed for a large room with a large audience. Guess it comes down to application and preference. Just thought it would make more sense to go with a projector after a certain size. You can also go with a smaller TV for the same price and have higher quality. ONN also released their 98in. My Walmart has both of them. Large TV's seem to have a shorter life than smaller ones. I'm just generally speaking. There are pros and cons to everything.
I HATE! My Tcl. The motion blurr is terrible. I refuse to put on the Soap Opera motion smoothing. Sure Tcl and Hiesense tvs have bright color strait on. But get off angle and watch a fast moving video and its yuck! I miss the Plasma days. Oled is as nice or better but big money!
I have come to the conclusion that my kids will each have a 100" TV in their rooms, so they avoid becoming cross eyed (blurred vision) from looking close onto small screens such as phones/tablets/laptops/desktops and let's say a 40" TV, so with a 100" TV on the wall it basically covers the entire wall, would look at it from 3-4 meters away, making sure their vision won't degrade. Only real downside is the cost, but that's a small price to pay in the long run, £7k for 2 TVs that easily last a decade. 👀
Ironically they offer a lot for people that have no much to give for a TV, in my country it beat many TV brands both in price and picture quality, so it all depends on what you will find.
@@chriszerzelidis3097 They attract people with low prices just like Hisense and other Chinese brands but their products are not reliable, and also the image processing is crap compared to major brands.

If they could only fix the issue with horrible viewing angles. With a display this big, it doesn't even matter if you sit in the "sweetspot", as the image at the edges of the screen, will be worse than in the middle...
finally. innuendo's and fun is back lol
Vincent do you have any news on the 2025 Sony TVs? I recall around this time last year you had some news on the new Sony TVs "Sony is giving up on OLED" etc. I'm wondering if there's any news at all that you are able to share with us this year for the 2025 lineup?
83 inch qdoled was leaked
Excited to see what you have to say about the new 98 inch king, the TCL QM952G/X11H/X965, whenever they let you see it!
If Samsung, TCL and Hisense prioritize blooming suppression and Sony recently caved in too, would Panasonic's newest MiniLED be a good choice for accurate local dimming?
Sony is accurate Local dimming not crushed Black like other brand
@@toxxproduction HDTVtest did a video recently about the Bravia 9 which showed even though it preserves more detail than Samsung, TCL and Hisense, it's not as much as previous LED LCDs from Sony like the X95L.
@@pureanthracite the Bravia 9 exhibit more details in dark area than the A95L so the local dimming is very accurate
@@toxxproductionI'm asking about the Panasonic W95A not the Sony A95L. Also, it's not that the Bravia 9 isn't accurate, it's just less accurate than previous models like the Sony X95L.
@pureanthracite yeah compare to and Oled it's still very accurate
TCL is so damn good man. I dont give a F what the haters say and it. I ran the QM7 for a few weeks and I absolutely floored by how good it was. There were a few issues obviously with a TV for that price but man! For $499 bucks I dont think you could ask for a better TV. I was a few days away from Sending my LG C4 OLED Back to Amazon and keeping the QM7. The only reason I decided to keep the OLED was the Amazing Black Levels with 0 Blooming. I found myself feening for those black levels. Although, the QM7 black levels are amazing in its own right. If I never saw the OLED Before the QM7 there is no way you could convince me that the black levels could get any better. I gamed on the QM7, I watched Movies on the QM7, I used the QM7 as a PC Monitor daily. I loved the fact that I didn't have to police how I use the Display at all. I could leave it on all day if I wanted to and not worry about ruining a very expensive TV. I considered Returning both the QM7 and the LG C4 and Getting the QM8 and seeing if those Black levels would give me what I wanted. Ultimately I just decided to keep the C4 because Amazon gave me a $400 dollar Refund to go towards the TV so it just made more sense to keep this TV I already have vs going through the hassle of Boxing and Unboxing another TV. But, I'll be honest. In a Perfect world. I would've just kept QM7 and put that money I saved towards something else. The Colors of the Quantum Dots are Amazing! Honestly, If you dont care about Inky Black Levels. On the Surface I cant find anything else i would want on the QM7 vs. The more expensive OLED. I think TCL is gonna take alot of business from the Big 3 TV companies because they can produce a "Just as Good" to about 95% of ppl TV that doesn't break the bank and they can provide way larger TVs that alot of ppl will prefer over smaller more expensive OLEDS.
Wow 6000/1 for a 98 inch led tv? Thats damn good.
Wow! calling this a bargain that sells for 4k+ is aspreading false information .
Sponsored garb video. Just to brainwash and promote and hype people...
Sponsored garb video. Just to bwash and promote and hype people...
@DMM_Fan they are all sponsored videos lol
@DMM_Fan: Please name us another 98-inch TV with Mini LED backlighting, 2000 nits of HDR peak brightness & 1500+ local dimming zones for less than $4k. We'll wait.
And this isn’t a sponsored video-it’s a technical review based on objective measurements and thorough testing. If it's a sponsored video, why would we mention the TV's shortcomings, such as intermittent microstutter with 50Hz content, overbrightened Dolby Vision presentation & HDR Game mode, etc.?
We pride ourselves on being honest and transparent in our reviews, consistently presenting both the strengths and weaknesses of every TV we test, so that potential buyers can make an informed decision.
Native contrast yes. For a MiniLED tv it means it's faulty.
HANTAREX TV know how 🎉
But why the C4 over the S90D the so called expert can't tell me the reason
Too late for me - only today just bought the LG 98QNED89STA.
110,000 THAI BAHT/ £2,540.
Ok, not mini-Led, but not TCL either - apart from the CSOT VA Panel.😂
Qned is LG's Mini LED line, isn't it?
@@alsayedfakhri4597 - that's reserved for the next series up.
No doubt LG will probably produce a 98 inch, Mini-led, in 2025.
For now - this model is more than acceptable.
Great Blacks & excellent processing.
I've to wait around 10 days before it's delivered - a bit short of stock, apparently.
I really want to buy a big TV from TCL, but I'm so worried about reliability. I don't want to spent this much money, only to have it broken after 1-2 years.
Can somebody share some experiences?
@@Kalyi89 - that's precisely why I went LG @ 98 inch.
Just lowering the odds of something going tits-up.
Managed to get a full, 3 years guarantee - no mean feat in Thailand.
Do people really prefer the EARC not having 2.1?!? I’m quite annoyed at that since it’s want my AVR to have it in case I’m connecting things to it instead of the tv. The TVs have 2! So you have still have 1 and have both options then idk.. I don’t like it. Hopefully 2025 Hisense or TCL change that
I just seen this TV in Costco and my jaw literally hit the floor cause it’s only 1300 usd for 98” tv of this quality.
Goodness gracious!!
98" of e-waste in a few years, I'll stick with Sony
@@Mike-jm5wt eeewwww Sony. No thanks!
@@JamSoupMusicLolsSony is pretty much the most premiere brand of tv one could buy
@@Mike-jm5wt its not OLED, its mini LED. itll easily last 10 years
@@theendurancedont tcl tvs usually die quickly?
Size does matter ... and then a 20" remote control 😅
This vs Samsung q90d
So much hate in the comments. LOL. For what? I'll never understand the hate for decent products and lower prices. You can hate China all you want, but as long as they are producing great TVs like these for lower cost. I shall not complain. Besides, Most ppl who are talking shlt have never actually used the product to be begin with. More Spreading Misinformation and FUDD for no reason. Man, I hate the Internet sometimes.
The 2023 model is only 1850 on Amazon, what a bargain
OLED all the way. No question.
Size does matter indeed😅
i hope TCL makes a 8K version ( yes i know nobody needs 8K, i don't care )
Unfortunately, motion clarity & handling is the one thing I just can't downgrade after experiencing my Sonys fix shoddy film direction. It's a case of being spoiled once you've had a taste of actually being able to decipher fast action without it being a blurry incoherent mess that content often likes to push in pursuit of atmosphere or artsy fartsy creative intent
If we're paying big money to see something, give us clarity, give us luminance, none of this seizure-cam nonsense scene-lit by a scented candle. Until the day the industry gets that right, I'm going for proper backlight control over more zones, & motion smoothness/clarity/preceding over stretched out size
The move to native10bit gradation is a move in the right direction. I remember experiencing 12bit output from my PC, and with these brighter LED displays the level of realism that portrayed simply by subconsciously feeling more nuances at the higher luminance made it feel less like I was looking at something flat but rather thru something, akin to rewatching your TV after freshly cleaning long accumulated layer of dust off, so yes more native 10bit panels for modulated 12bit reproduction please!
Sometimes.... Is 99% of times
i buy 65 inch g4 or go with big size lg c4 77inch.... Pls reply must... I from india.... Big fan of ur work sir... in india Bpbig size are very costly 65inch to 77 inch oled are big differnce
G4. The difference in nits is massive
@@jayroman3384i alrady know that mate..but confuse in sizes? ..
Thank you for calling the Microsoft
My take is, go for the 77 inch C4. You will at least not regret getting a TV that is too small.
@@jaspreet1085 a 65 is already pretty massive. You’ll get more out of a 65 G4 than a 77 C4
My eyes squint with 850 nits at 5 feet from a 77” screen. I wonder what 2000 nits would do to my eyes? Probably nothing good.
I agree! I have the same problem. Even my LG Oled C3 is sometimes too bright for me. I will probably switch to a projector to preserve my eyes.
perception of brightness increases logarithmically, not linearly. 2000 nits does not appear twice as bright as 1000 nits, it only appears about 25% brighter approximately.
So, turning down the brightness would be a bad idea?
2025 WHVA Panels with superb viewing angles are worth the wait..
Doesn't matter how cheap or big these TCL'scare they will never match even the cheapest Oled's.
The 98" would only make its flaws more unbearable and easier to see
Oof no way will I go back to that blooming. Once you go oled you never go back.
you will need one huge living room for this TV not to become over-bearing
@@AchtungEnglander - you sound like a wife! 😃
@@lucee2261 tell me about it, given I do all the cooking (i.e. I want my food to taste nice/not burnt)
What is the purpose of such large TV's when projectors exist 🤔
What is the purpose of projectors, when TV's of this ilk exist?
@lucee2261 Projectors are designed for a large room with a large audience. Guess it comes down to application and preference. Just thought it would make more sense to go with a projector after a certain size. You can also go with a smaller TV for the same price and have higher quality. ONN also released their 98in. My Walmart has both of them. Large TV's seem to have a shorter life than smaller ones. I'm just generally speaking. There are pros and cons to everything.
I HATE! My Tcl. The motion blurr is terrible. I refuse to put on the Soap Opera motion smoothing. Sure Tcl and Hiesense tvs have bright color strait on. But get off angle and watch a fast moving video and its yuck! I miss the Plasma days. Oled is as nice or better but big money!
VA panels are garbage, lost me at that.
what? for less than 3500 pounds, dollars and euros you can get a 83 inch OLED ^^
77 inch is 2100€.^^
Still missing 15 inches...no idea what your comment is supposed to tell anyone tbh.
I have come to the conclusion that my kids will each have a 100" TV in their rooms, so they avoid becoming cross eyed (blurred vision) from looking close onto small screens such as phones/tablets/laptops/desktops and let's say a 40" TV, so with a 100" TV on the wall it basically covers the entire wall, would look at it from 3-4 meters away, making sure their vision won't degrade. Only real downside is the cost, but that's a small price to pay in the long run, £7k for 2 TVs that easily last a decade. 👀
Meanwhile......Sony keeps on ripping people off by selling their TVs for double the price!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sony processing in uncomparable
Video crewator is quick at deleting coms
hloo sir
TCL is crap
someone didnt watch the video and is just plainly xenophobic lol
Ironically they offer a lot for people that have no much to give for a TV, in my country it beat many TV brands both in price and picture quality, so it all depends on what you will find.
@@chriszerzelidis3097 They attract people with low prices just like Hisense and other Chinese brands but their products are not reliable, and also the image processing is crap compared to major brands.
No. You have clearly never owned a newer TCL model. They are way more than just "bang of buck".
I've owned 2, both died after a year
I'd rather have the OLED
where does one find a 98 inch OLED? Moronic comment lol
@@OTNaugrimlg has a 97 inch oled
@@jakeola10 For $20,000. Many people will settle for a 98” Mini-LED for 1/4 of the cost.

It'll never beat the king G4! 👑🤴👑🤴👑🤴👑🤴👑🤴
Calibration on this TCL seems to be worse and more difficult than on Samsung TVs even. LG G4 is still the king this year.
98 inch LG G4 is 19000€ in Europe, are you by any chance... a little slow? I'd rather have the TCL and 16k€ in pocket change LOL
@@OTNaugrim Copy and pasting my comment
It's not trying to beat the LG G4, it's offering an alternative for those who want a larger screen size and a less expensive tv. Not everything in life is a contest.
