I just got my TCL tv today! and set up!..its great! .I'm glad I went with this rather than the short throw projector..Thanks for your help!

Keep the 98 inch comparisons coming! Really enjoy your honest opinion on these big screen comparison reviews. Nice job!

You two are really awesome to take all the time and care it takes to produce these reviews for the everyday family and or enthusiast. Your reviews are spot on and answer the most taxing questions for folks that do not have money to waist. Thank you sooooo much. For so long I stuck with rear mounted ( Panasonic and Optoma ) projectors for the emersion / cost to performance but gave tvs a chance after seeing them grow. I love my UH7 85 " and I bought it because of this channel. I hope to invest in a 98 or 100 inch as well but will wait for the sales to start in 6mths to a year. I'm hoping that Hisense u8k 100 " causes a price war on the market. Please keep up the good work.

I'm definitely can't wait until this TV is available in my area. Once my wife sees it, I'll have it within a week. Thanks for the great video!

My back hurts just from watching y'all move that furniture in every video.

Enjoyed the video, B. It's fun watching you and Jen do an unboxing of these enormous TVs. 👍

Heartfelt Thank You, for all these massive tv comparisons. You guys rock!

Thank you for the review! I have been looking at this one, but because it was so new, there was no real reviews on it. The only question I have is: I have a 85" Sony X900H and while I love this TV, I have noticed quite a bit of blooming around subtitles, which is kind of jarring in really dark scenes. How is the blooming on this one?

Very interested in the comparison video you mentioned with Q8!

Hey it’s nitpicky but yet for the record folks are mislead about the backlighting of todays LCDs. Full-array-local-dimming requires direct-lighting. 2 major categories of backlighting exist: Edge-lit & direct-lit. All FALD require direct lit(lights cover behind the screen). Local dimming on edge lit would be difficult and rather ineffective. All mini-LEDs(not to be confused w/ micro-LED which is not LCD based) utilize FALD. I feel reviewers should not confuse these things. The masses are already confused enough by referring to LCD TVs as LEDs. First gen LCDs used fluorescent backlighting, since then it’s LED. Plasma & OLED are self-lit.

awesome review... I love your TV stand. where did you get it ?

Beautiful ad transition..... clean loved the video

TV stand recommendations for this exact TV would be greatly appreciated.

love your educational and informative videos!

Great video !! Keep them coming !!

Hi Brian, when you doing your 98” tv shoot out, I’m looking for one of these TVs, but being I am from the uk we have also the TCL X955 not sure where this tv sits against the Qm8, or if just renamed for the uk thanks Oz

When they can mass produce 110"-120", that will ultimately fill the standard 8' wall. I keep looking at UST projectors, but with the 98-100" currently, TV > projector.

Installer would you recommend this in a movie room? I currently have a 77 a9g Sony but I’m 12 ft away. Any suggestions? And how am I going to like this picture?

What all settings did you adjust and how much? Thanks.

Just bought a new house in Texas and this TV is going in the living room!

Ordered 98r754 for $3500. How does compare for movies and gaming/brightness? Would you recommend this over the 754

Nice video keep up the good work B the installer

The 98" R754 is listed for $4k, is this S model a better purchase for $3k? Does R754 worth the difference?

Hi guys love watching your vids Can you confirm the S5 is the same as the uk spec 98P745? Thanks

This is a good 120hz gaming TV. Most of the special video functions are disabled in Low latency PC mode anyhow. Next summer these may be down to $1999.

Fantastic review. Thank you. I'm looking to put this in a classroom. The classroom has many large-scale windows along the entire Western wall, from floor to ceiling. So as the day progresses, the sun starts to pour directly into the room, and at certain angles, viewers have the sun over their shoulders pouring directly on the only available wall we have for the TV. We are trying to avoid a projector (given a TV provides a better image, not considering direct sun glare) or expensive sun-blocking shades, as this is a large room, and replacing our semi-permeable shades with sun-blocking shades would cost a lot. I also realize that nothing on the market is going to be able to block direct sunlight, but I'm wondering if you think viewers will be able to see this TV relatively well when considering how well it handles glare and, combined with increasing the sharpness of the image?

Installer, i just found your page. My family room is 21'x22' . Would you recommend this S5 for this size room. 12 foot ceilings with true flush mount led lights.

Been looking for a good, affordable upgrade and I think I've found it with this one. I have an 86 inch LG and want a 98 inch but the prices have been outrageous

Thanks for the great review, tv is coming in a couple days. I have to transport it to another location. Any help on boxed dimensions? How tall is Jen for reference? Thanks guys

Thank you. Very helpful. For us daring souls that want to wall mount 98 inch TVs, for your future reviews, maybe you can spend 30 seconds showing the cable management in the back and how clean the wall mounted TVs look when viewing the TV from the side? Unlike your setup, people entering my family room can see the side of my wall mounted TV.

Great information! Thank you for doing this.

I picked up the TCL (8" S5 last week for $2,999 at walmart. Price is now bask up to $3,999. Thank you for the advice and your video. What TV mount do you recommend ti wall mount this 98" TV

What is the stand you are using?

BTW..this television is now 1999.00 on Amazon...amazing deal

After going back and forth between this 98” TCL S5 & the 85” Sony X90L… I had decided to buy the TCL a week ago just as Amazon raised the price to $2,498 from $1,998. And so I justified going with the Sony instead because of the $500 increase but I paused. I was BUMMED. Then… as I was about to to hit Buy Now, I checked again “just in case” and Voila! The TCL came back down to $1,998. I wasn’t about to let that go again so I bought it this morning! MUCH thanks to your review. Looking forward to enjoying this in our new home! Great work on these reviews. My wife and I really appreciate it!

Would you perfer this tv over the qm8? Thinking about getting one. Thanks

The dog is hilarious 😆

This or the q80c 98 inch version that’s basically qled?

I was looking at a short throw but after watching your review, I think Im going this route! Thanks!

Impressive, whats Jen's workout routine B?

The price makes this one mighty tempting for the home theater/gaming room. My concern is whether the screen will hold up over the years though. I have an 82" Samsung from 2017 that looks as good today, as it did when it was new. Does this have Gsync or VRR for gaming?

I love that two piece tv stand. I wonder where i can buy one like that. That is so cool.

You guys always do a great job with unboxing and reviewing the TVs. I have a Sony A9G, 65” tv and want to upgrade to a bigger and better one. I’m thinking a 75” but I would like an 85” because this one I want to be the right size. I sit about 16 feet from the tv what size would work best for me?

Thanks a lot.. I watched a lot of your videos and bought this TV because of your review .. I bought the same mount too .. 🙏🏽

Hey Brandon, I am looking to buy a 98" TV, I really want to know your opinion if you think the TCL S5 98" might look better than the Samsung Q80C 98", which one would you pick?

Great TV, these Direct LED sets are very underrated like 85inch x85k, thanks J the installer, sorry B 😂

Does it have a "Movie" or "Filmmaker" mode in the picture mode settings?

Do you think the the Q6 is better than this? I've been thinking about getting a Q6 in 85" cause I've seen it for a $1000.

What is the closest distance you recommend sitting from this particular tv?

Can't wait for affordable 100" OLED. that's end game.

These reviews have been great. Plan on doing a head to head between this tv and the 98” 754? Looking to buy one of these in the next few weeks. Which would you recommend?

What are those cabinets you used for a stand? I'd like to get some

Whats your thoughts on this tv vs the hisense 100" u8 is the mini led worth $1k differance right now?

Awesome guys. I love ❣️😘 how you guys get along. Very cute. She's such a good sport because he's always making short jokes about her. It would be so cool to have all three TCL TVs side by side for a comparison 😮👍😎

What sort of extended warranty are typically available for a TV in this price point. Best Buy has this one now for just 2 grand. Do you recommend extended maintenance plans, or are these TV's throw-aways, due to technology obsolescence?

Would you rather buy this or the R7?

Hi thanks for this great video BUT do you know how much NITS IS this TV? It looks this IS a secret because it's not written on the spec in the TCL website 😢😢😢

Can you post link for storage cabinets that you used for tv stand??

Is the remote backlit?

is ti the same model as the P745 in Europe???

Bloody Enormous Indeed...Largest One I've Seen Yet... Aside From The 90 Inch Television I Saw In A Store Sometime Ago...

$1999.99 on Best Buy now.

The dog is the boss 😀

This TV is amazing. It replaced an 82" Samsung Q6 QLED from 2018 and it blows the Samsung away in every way possible. I was worried about picture quality since it is direct lit LED and the Sammy was edge lit QLED with local dimming but there is no comparison. It gets very bright, colors are amazing, blacks are black and whites are white and not dirty. I am not regretting this purchase at all and it is a steal even after it went back up in price after the holidays. If you're on the fence about it just get it, you wont regret it.

How does it compare to the 98r754 which has been $3500ish Also what is optimal distance for this set?

Nice haircut Jen! Soon there will be 120 inch tvs imagine that😅😅

Mr Installer Im down to the G3 or the QN95C. I got to this through your pick your tv guide and videos. Im in a bright environment and love watching sky/cable shows and movies and gaming. Which one?

I have an 77 a9g in my movie room would I like this picture? I know I need the size im currently like 12 ft away

Yea 98" tvs are now affordable!, maybe not videophile quality but for the price I don't care to nictpik just watch 😊

Thanks!

I got a roku can i set up my device on it? With the hdmi ?

I love how fast the price is coming down on 98" TVs!! I just got an 85", and once these drop another two grand I'll upgrade 😆

I had this TV for a week now. Definitely budget in everything it does

is it the same sa europe P745 model ?

⁠​​For a “80-“150 basement tv meant for movies and sports. Would you go for this tv, another, or a UST Projector? Thank you 🙏🏼

This vs 100" Hisense U76??? I need to decide w/i a couple days to make delivery in time for SB58

And anotha biggy tv setup by Brandon and Jenn😊😊

I got my TV in over the weekend and I’m having a hard time getting UKposts TV to look good from my apple TV on it. Any advice on settings from anyone???

You should make your life easier by building or buying a long console table on wheels

My 98S5 does not have the Dolby option under picture mode? I can't find them anywhere.

at this level of internal competition we really need some measures in the reviews….

Why do the corners look dark during the dirty hockey guy test?

What top ten tvs would you recommend for 2023

Love your channel ❤❤❤❤

What is the uk version of this

Everytime I see 100 inch tv's to me It invokes so much passion and fun. And they are getting more and more affordable.

Is the S5 watching angles as bad as QM8?

Should I keep my Oct 1st delivery of the TCL 98" XL for $4k from BestBuy or switch to the TCL 98" S5 and gamble that BestBuy will lower S5 to $3k during next 60 days for price match so I can save $1000 ???

I just Bought The Samsung 855” Neoqled. @ Sams $2300. I like it 👍🏈🐬🐬🐬🍻

Please let us know a fixed wall mount that will work! Cant find a 500mm x 600mm fixed wall mount! Help with a link please!!❤

Literally no one who buys these kind of TVs care about the built in speakers. Companies should just not waste money on them or the “smart” features

So here’s a question 77 lg c2 oled or this 98” s5 ? I’ve had the oled for a year and am afraid I’ll notice the difference at this point What do you think

Can you send a link for the tv stands? I'm not sure I'm ready to hang a tv of this size and weight.

Can you guys review some tv stands for these behemoths? Thanks!

Okay, Brandon. It's time to put on your hockey gear and rub some dirt on your face 😂😂😂

@B can does this tv have multi view?! Plz help

Just got this tv in yesterday. Do you have any suggestions on the picture settings? Im also getting some jittering. Like when the camera pans, its a little choppy. Anyone else notice that with theirs?

65800B Is good for Price?

It looks like time square in your house! The UST projectors that can get to 120” and 150” are 107% tv 2020 or 1 billion colors and gives you that immersive cinematic effect. The AWOL Vision you just reviewed is the better choice.
