Q: What are the dimensions of stand/feet (depth) that hold the screen up? I don't plan on wall mounting it, so I need to find a right sized stand or console (width and depth). Thank you.

A: The stand is just shy of 17" deep. Just shy of 85" wide from foot to foot and the TV screen is 5" set back from the front of the stand. Of special note, the stand can be reversed so that the TV sets back further on the stand, the blocks need to be reversed from one leg to the other to switch it.

Q: Can this tv be wall mounted and if so what mount should I buy

A: Yes, you can mount this TV. I used HumanCentric Full Motion Articulating TV Wall Mount Bracket | Fits 75, 80, 85, 90, 100" Flat Screen and Curved TV Monitors Up to 900 x 600 VESA | Features Full Motion Swivel, Tilt, & Rotation

Q: TCL's 98" wall-mountable TV. Having my Room wired for this. 2 Questions for locating the wall outlet: Viewing the TV from the BACK, where does the power cord come out of the TV (Left, Right, High or Low) ??? The plug-in, are the prongs @ 90 degrees ???

A: Looking at the TV from the back, the power cord connects near the bottom right of the TV. You can see a photo of the back of the TV in the product photos on the product page. The TV features a standard power cord. Hope this helps! thank you, TCL Customer Support

Q: Does this TV have Apple TV built in as a Streamer option? I saw the list but it doesnt mention Apple TV

A: The AppleTV streaming app is indeed one of the many available streaming apps on this TCL TV featuring Google TV. Hope this helps! Thank you, TCL Customer Support

Q: When will this actually be available to purchase?

A: Was supposed to be available now. Covid supply chain issues I guess. Spring would be a more reasonable guess given whats happening in world.

Q: Why is it 2K more than MSRP and the price on Amazon

A: I'm sure the price is just a placeholder until ordering is available and then it will change to reflect the correct price. My guess is that the price will be around $7999.99.

Q: When or will this tv be able for the spectrum app to stream cable….. I really want this TV but I have spectrum cable so I need it to do the spectrum app

A: TCL does not control App store content. Google or the specific content provider (in this case spectrum) would be the best organization to ask for an answer. In most cases it is up to the app provider (in this case spectrum) to make their app available on different operating systems. Hope this helps! Thank you, TCL Customer Support

Q: Can This TV use the spectrum app to stream cable?

A: The Spectrum TV app is not currently an available streaming app on this TCL TV featuring Google TV. Hope this helps! Thank you, TCL Customer Support

TCL 98 QLED
All I can say is "What an Awesome T.V. this is" I thought the picture will be somewhat diluted due to it's massive size but I was soo wrong! Picture quality can hold it's own with most top name brand QLEDs and in some cases better. Most of all the price for it's size...Yes, you can get top name brands for the same size for double the price and even 4X more. I love this TV and I'm not looking back!

Best bang for your 98" buck!
I bought mine from Best Buy because of my credit card points and to me it was well worth it. The next best deal for a 98” was Samsung and that as $13k at my local Video Only and I doubt I would’ve seen $4.5k more TV out of it. Sonys is $20k+. So for those complaining about the cost, I think it’s very reasonable. 97”+ TVs come with a premium. The displays are harder to make and yielding a large display without defects is difficult for manufacturers. It was either getting an 85” display and a 120” projector screen to scratch my itch. So I opted for this. In the long run install on one TV is a lot cheaper. The screen itself is very bright. My TV sits close to two sets of French doors, so it can get pretty bright in the room and I can see the TV perfectly fine. That was one of my biggest concerns for a TV this size. The picture is very nice! I think the guy complaining about wasn’t streaming 4K Ultra HD content. For a TV this size, the pixels are larger so it won’t look the same if you compared it to watching 4K content on a 65”. You need really good content to make this TV shine. If you’re watching regular HD content it won’t look that nice. Imagine blowing up your 1080p content from a 65” to 98”. It’s not going to look that great. So content will be important. I signed up for Netflix’s 4K ultra upgrade because of this. Just to get the full potential out of this display. When I watch YouTube content I set it at 2160p. Also, I don’t know why TCL doesn’t highlight this but the speaker system built into the TV is made by Onkyo. The sound system almost sounds like a sound bar built in to the TV. It’s definitely one of best TV speakers I’ve heard on any TV. I’m guessing it’s part of the reason why this TV weighs so much. Google TV is very responsive. I actually liked the layout and I’m coming from years of using a fire stick. The only 3 negatives about the TV to me are 1) remote, which to me doesn’t feel premium for a TV that costs this much, 2) the TV stand itself…seems a bit flimsy and 3) the amount of energy this TV consumes. Other than that, this is a fantastic display for people on the fence about it. Especially, if you wanted a projector. I had a few 1080p projectors in fully built theater rooms. I downsized to a smaller house, so I had to compromise and give up a theater room. And I can honestly say with this TV, I don’t miss it much. I’ll probably end pairing this TV with the Sony HT-A9.

Like but not love
I really wanted to love this tv. But I’m just on the fence so far on what I’m going to do. The TV went on sale for $4999, and felt like that was reasonable for the size of the tv. I was going a “85 Vizio P QC11 that I loved. I also own a 77in LG OLED in my basement. But to get to the point . I think the tv is above average.. Game mode looks pretty good. I think a little too dark at times. I watched the basketball game and the close up shots look pretty good.. but my biggest issue is the detail of the tv looks fuzzy in the background. It’s captures what it’s focusing on but the background looks kind of bad. The colors are ok but could be better. Overall I think this is a 3.5 star tv. I got a $8000 tv for $5000 so it’s hard to make a decision if I will keep it or return it. But words of advice a 98in doesn’t look like a huge difference from a 95in. I wouldn’t but this above the LG 83in OLED which is around the same price.
