  • TheCandyMan2020 on 25/10/2023 - 09:48

    Worth mentionining it also comes with free wall mounting - It's not clear whether that includes the mount, or whether you have to buy that seperately.

    I inquired on the HN web site and they said "Ask your local store"….

      My local store said it doesn’t come with a bracket

      Related - I ordered the Sanus VXT7-B2 - but it doesn’t have 850 x 450 VESA mounting. Does anyone know of a compatible tilt bracket for this TV? I can’t find anything anywhere online. TIA.

        • Tleaves on 26/10/2023 - 18:59
          1. Make it easier to adjust the viewing angle without reinstalling the mount
            (Up7°/down-10° only though)
          2. Easier to connect cables on the tv.(hdmi, etc)
      • TheSANegotiator22 on 26/10/2023 - 08:33

        This is the exact wall mount we used for this atV works perfectly. We don't need the tilt function but we could use this one as spreads across 3 wall studs and can lock it in without tilt using Allen keys it's a well made mount.

      • Tleaves on 26/10/2023 - 18:57

        It's universal mounying from 200x200 to 1100x800, so should be able to use for 850x400.

    • Karmond on 25/10/2023 - 10:08

      Depends how much of your field of vision you want the TV to fill.

    • opt on 25/10/2023 - 10:27

      Not really, if you are to set it up with a 40 degree viewing angle (which BTW is the reference position for movie theatres and the THX recommendation) then you should only be 10 feet or 3m back from the TV. Most rooms IMHO are longer than 3m in one dimension, so that TV should technically fit in just about any room (source). For mixed mode viewing (30 degree angle) the recommended viewing distance is around 4.12m which I think can be accommodated with most decently sized living rooms and home theatre rooms as well. So this TV IMHO is not going to be too big for most who want to get the best possible viewing experience.

    • lonewolf on 25/10/2023 - 10:53

      Not really, I have a 100inch projector screen and a 85" tv, I sit less than 3m from both. So does everyone else who comes over. One of the seats is alot closer but that's definitely not ideal.

      • [Deactivated] on 25/10/2023 - 13:09

        I sit under 2m away from a 65", doesnt feel that big to me. Only for gaming!

    • tp0 on 25/10/2023 - 12:43
      +3

      The distance most people sit from their TVs is actually more than suitable for a 98" TV. The recommended distance for 98" is 4.1m based on the SMPTE 30 degree viewing angle which is good for mixed viewing.

      Generally people sit way too far from their TV meaning they are not getting any of the benefits of 4K or even 1080p as well as opening themselves to possible eye strain issues.

      • [Deactivated] on 25/10/2023 - 13:10

        I notice this at my friends house, they sit 4-5m away and the TV is very high on the wall and i get super tired.

        my tv is 2m from me, and only .5m higher than my eye line! never hurts my eyes!

          I notice this at my friends house, they sit 4-5m away and the TV is very high on the wall and i get super tired.

          Yeah I've seen way too many TVs mounted way too high.
          The ideal height to mount a TV for comfortable viewing is to have the centre of the TV at eye level when seated, which is generally around ~105cm from the floor (but of course can vary a little depending on the sofa).

          my tv is 2m from me, and only .5m higher than my eye line! never hurts my eyes!

          For a 65” TV, the top of the TV should be around 42cm above the eyelevel, so yours is pretty spot on.

        Yep there's better than MiniLED too. If you're used to OLED, this would be a significant drop in picture quality. I'm personally waiting for this size/price in MiniLED, but I know it'll be a while before that happens. It's still a good deal if you don't mind FALD.

        • Tleaves on 26/10/2023 - 19:01

          Pros and cons. Oled usually has lower brightness, so I think it would be perfect if you're watching in a dark room, or late night mostly.

    I have the 75" of this TV, I have another Sony 65" and have owned multiple Sony / Panasonic FALD and LG Plasma before.

    Pros
    + good sound
    + amazing contrast / black levels
    + great HDR performance / brightness level
    Cons
    - no anti reflection coating, it's a mirror
    - all non game modes have lag, even using a mouse is hard
    - heard it has FSR issues below 60fps but haven't tested
    - not great viewing angles from the sides like most VA panels

    Due to the average viewing angles and terrible reflection handling, while I love the TV for my bedroom, I'd never buy it for a living room - so this 98" seems pointless.

    Have this exact TV from last deal. And amazed by the quality. Paid $4400ish. At this price, I would buy again if needed. Wouldn’t look at c845 or so. Price.

    Worth mentioning, go for wall mount/ installation by default. Hech heavy TV (66 Kgs…. 95ish kg boxed).
    Have all your certifies 4K/8K cables ready and placed. Including wifi controlled extension cable. Preferably hidden beside wall.

    I swear once this TV is installed, you wouldn’t want to move this TV ever. Even if you sold your house 😜

      Someone mentioned it's quite reflective, your thoughts on that and on lagginess and how low quality content looks on that big a** screen

      • PopCounty on 25/10/2023 - 12:04

        This is on my living area. So for downlights, there is NO reflection. For chandelier, there’s bit reflection in dimmest setting (have kid so I mostly keep on dim setting). For windows, there’s reflection but again on dim setting. Put it on 4K setting and no reflections ever.

        For low quality material, I have F2A contents and this really works well. It’s actually better than my 6 years old 55” Sony TV. Said that, HD is still good and non-HD you would feel quality down.

        Hook up Apple TV and really be amazed on this big screen.

    • Jstrrrr on 31/10/2023 - 10:05

      I have this TV too from the last deal. But I always found the picture to be too "fuzzy" for 4K. It feels far more like FHD interpolated. The image pre-set makes a HUGE difference to how a source would look - I find some settings would make my Fire TV 4K Max and Nvidia Shield Pro's home screens look like an impressionist painting rather than a sharp 4K image.

      Can you tell me what source you are using and what image pre-set you've got it on? Thanks.

  • noshopping on 25/10/2023 - 11:07

    I bought this TV a few months ago. Its huge and will not fit on most standard TV entertainment units as the legs are at either sides. It just barely fit on our 2.4m wide cabinet. Besides this, the picture quality is great, menu system is good (no lag) + lots of features. Only complaint is once TV is turned off, I hear clicking sounds every now and then. I normally only stick to Sony or Samsung but after buying TCL a few years ago with no dramas, I had high confidence in this unit and so far, got no regrets.

    • CrazyTachikoma on 25/10/2023 - 12:04
      +13

      there's no projector on earth that can beat a TV - HDR performance, peak brightness, peak contrast, actual 120hz, low input lag, etc and all that without burning lamps and annoying fan noise

      projectors have 1 use - movie watching in a light controlled (aka no light) room, for everything else even a non premium TV like this will be 10x better

      • dclee12 on 25/10/2023 - 13:18

        Agree that projectors are geared towards movie nights , and cant match a decent tv’s brightness and contrast.

        But want to add that plenty of projectors have sub 20ms lag in 4K and plenty of tv’s have terrible lag , it really depends on the particular brand/model.
        Projectors do need lower light but these “cheaper” giant tv’s will likely suffer badly from reflection , so placement will matter for both.

      • stevelo on 25/10/2023 - 20:55

        100% agree, Got a 1080p projector with 110 inch screen, good for movies night. Got a 75 inch 4K TV, good for everyday use.

      Way brighter and easier to watch content on.

      • bleeder on 25/10/2023 - 12:41

        I actually want to know the arguments for this debate, I'm siding with TV but don't really know anything. It's my understanding you can go larger for cheaper with a projector and that's the only advantage?

        • dclee12 on 25/10/2023 - 13:33

          I think eventually giant tv’s will take over , but one thing is 3D , which seems to have disappeared entirely from tv’s.

          Still have people come over just to watch 3d on the projector, its not all Marvel movies , theres a decent range of stuff that gets released in 3D.

          Portability is the other thing, most projectors $1500-$2000 (and above) are easy to adjust for placement . so outdoor giant movie nights are a thing.

        • Broos on 25/10/2023 - 14:23

          It’s all well covered in CrazyTachikoma’s comment above.

          I’ll add that projectors used to be the only way to get a big picture at a reasonable price. You don’t see people with 65” projectors in their living rooms for the same reason you won’t see people with 100” projectors in their living rooms once TVs get that big and affordable - like this TCL.
          A projector can never match the brightness, contrast and all-in-one nature of a TV.

          To get the best out of a projector, you need a light and paint treated room. No windows, matte black paint. No reflective surfaces.

          TV you can throw anywhere and just have to check reflections.

            +1

            @Typical16-bitEnjoyer: Yup, and achieving that is A LOT harder (and more costly) than most people realise. In the PERFECT room, a projector on a 120"+ screen, with a top notch sound system and acoustic treatment is as good as it gets. But you'd need to spend an obscene amount of money to achieve that to a really high standard. Most people with projectors are using them in sub-optimal rooms where a big TV like this would offer a better picture and all round viewing experience.

        • CrazyTachikoma on 25/10/2023 - 17:32

  • Zackeroo on 25/10/2023 - 13:22

    Went with the 98" Samsung instead of this TCL around a year back. Both of the 98" Samsungs are holding up pretty well. I'm so curious how these TCLs would have been as they're a fraction of the cost. On paper they seem pretty decent. TCL offers a 3-year warranty too so any issues would be covered.

        Kindaaa. Not in my home, but we bought them for our local church as their 15 year old projectors were on the way out. Got each one for around 7.5k if I remember right, so it was significantly cheaper than replacing with new projectors. We were quoted 32k for new projectors. The Samsungs look excellent and are definitely big enough.

      I was unsuccessful with price matching at JB HI-FI (they said we don’t price match coupon codes).

        One of them rejected my attempts however i called another and they agreed

    I measured out my wall to see how big this thing is, lost my mind, wtf….

    Jb do not honour the TCL cashback they repalced it with their own $1000 giftcard so thr tv isnt $2000 off.

    We got this through GG a couple weeks ago for $4200 (after cashback inc delivery) a great tv and wall mounted it with a sanus mount. Cant complaint

    Looks like The Good Guys have matched the HN price (use code FRENZY23 for extra 20% off), although delivery is an extra $55 and no wall mounting, however should be able to get another ~$300 cashback via Cashrewards now too?

    Is it worth taking the HN's extended warranty of 48 months for $530?

    • easternculture on 26/10/2023 - 10:58

      Lol. Did they also offer you a monster cable for $399.

      You can usually negotiate extended warranty for free from my experience

      • Yankijoe on 26/10/2023 - 11:19

        I actually tried. I don't know if it's as good as Mf. warranty? I wanted an articulating mount as well for 98". It is 290.

        @noddypiper does the wall mount installation include the wall mount or we have to buy it separately? If its separate purchase then can you guys recommend a wallmount for this TV?

    I tried to get this TV today and cancel my current order for the 85"C745

    I managed to get AO to price match JB HiFi 20% off, then add the instant cashback after the pricematch for my 85"C745 (I got lucky with an online chat person named Jacob doing their discount code wrong)

    AO wouldnt do the same with the 98" to get the $500 instant cashback from $4700 to $4200 - Tried with about 5 different online chats with no luck. I even spoke to Jacob who explained they wont price match AND instant cash.
    Would happily get this TV for $4200 but not $4700 - keeping in mind the $1000 TCL cashback.

    Also, can confirm JBHIFI are not part of the TCL promotion after speaking to two different people on the JB live chat.
