For the size and price it is hard to justify complaining. However, with a side by side comparisons to my 7 year old tv, you can certainly tell the difference by spending double on a premium model. The black levels and contrast are no comparison. You would think a full array led would be better than a side lit with contrast, not so much. Seeing as how the backlighting is consistent/bright across the screen with no bright spots (except for a light halo around the border with the screen black), the local dimming does not seem to be doing anything. However, the colors are richer. Images are not as sharp as I was expecting, but that could be due to the image being blown up/diluted so much. What is strange is how it struggles to sharpen normal images. Yet, it totally crushes digital images, like cartoons and graphics. Cartoons are extremely sharp and bright. Even on the same screen like the news, the people will be slightly blurry whole the graphics in the corner are very sharp and bright. The matte screen is not for me. The glare makes everything very washed out. One bright spot makes the whole screen sort of glow. This is definitely a dark room tv. Also, any angle of side viewing drastically reduces the quality. So, straight on viewing is important. The tv itself is very heavy. There are nice handles in the back to help you lift it. The base feet are pretty far apart. The remote is basic, but has nice tactile buttons. The google voice is a nice feature, but seems to be a bit slower than my other tv voice controls. It is a bit annoying the device in the next room and my phone all try to respond. I recommend using the remote button. Mode wise, vivid is just a touch richer than standard, which looks more natural. Sport has boosts the refresh rate that really works well. Game kills all the processing features and reduces lag, also works pretty good. Theater is suppose to have some special codec reading and automatic setting adjustments. I didn't have a movie with that so I don't know if that works. Overall, if you want a big tv for cheap, it is pretty good for half the price. Just have low expectations. All its features work great. Just the image quality is subpar. If you have never used a premium display, you would probably love this tv. I the pictures you can see: The black details are terrible. Straight on shows color richness. Side and show fade and image degradation.

This TV is a multimedia giant. The Android OS interface is smooth, fast, and super responsive. I created TV profiles that make parental controls a breeze! The remote has a premium feel though it’s a bit larger than it needs to be. The TV frame itself doesn’t feel cheap at all, and the built-in handles make installation a breeze for two people, even with its size and weight. Image quality? Absolutely stunning. Bright scenes, sports, and cartoons all look incredibly vibrant colors pop without looking over-processed or artificial. I was using a 4K projector in this space, and even at max brightness and color settings, it doesn’t come close to the Hisense 98” QD5. The difference is so dramatic, I’ve already packed up the projector. This TV is now the centerpiece in our loft. A few out-of-the-box tweaks are necessary: There’s noticeable blooming in dark scenes when there are small bright elements on screen. Thankfully, this can be mostly fixed with a few setting adjustments that significantly reduce the issue. Sound-wise, the auto mode is fine for casual TV, but the soundstage feels narrow for movies. Switching to Theater mode brings the audio to life. Boost the subwoofer level a bit and it's honestly enjoyable without a soundbar. That said, a soundbar definitely enhances the experience though I do wish the TV's built-in speakers could work in tandem with external audio gear.

I was hesitant on buying a Hisense TV since I knew nothing about the brand. This TV had all the features I wanted and more, the price and screen size were exactly what I was looking for. After researching a bit, I decided to purchase it. I could not be happier with my decision!!! Setup definitely needs two strong people, this TV is very heavy, and you need to mount the legs on, it's pretty easy. Only three screws each leg. When mounted the stand is very sturdy, I was worried it would be flimsy and scared to let my son near it, but it holds up amazing. When you turn the TV on it has to be setup, it takes about 15 min and is very easy. You can connect your Google account. A really cool feature is you can out your personal photos as a screen saver! Im very impressed with the quality of the picture and the responsiveness. It's so clear you would think the people were real!

The Hisense - 98" Class QD5 Series QLED 4K UHD Smart Google TV checks all the boxes with my family and I. It’s a great addition to our media room and my kids are in love with the larger than life picture. The picture quality is outstanding and movie watching experience is great. Sports our spot on as the refresh rate is fantastic. Sound quality is perfect in our space, no need for external speakers. User interface is excellent and very user friendly, even for children. Remote could me better quality in my opinion, but still good. Overall we couldn’t be happier.

We went back and forth on whether to get one this much bigger than our current TV, but in the end we decided—why not? Unboxing was simple, and using a dolly to lift it for the legs was the best choice since it was just my husband and me. The built-in handles on the back made a huge difference—I’m only 4’11 and he’s 5’9, so lifting it was definitely a challenge, but manageable.
I was surprised by how much metal there is on the back and how heavy it is. At 124 lbs, it’s heavier than our 100-lb-rated stand, so we’ll be reinforcing it to make sure there are no issues. Once we had the legs on, setup and registration were quick and easy.
Even though our new TV stand hasn’t arrived yet, we couldn’t resist trying it out. The difference in color and crispness is amazing, and the size is perfect for our living room. We usually watch TV while eating dinner, and this will make that even more enjoyable, especially when family visits.
I love the screensaver option with personal photos, and I plan to update it with recent family pictures soon. The remote is also super convenient—having quick buttons for Netflix, Disney+, and other apps saves time compared to navigating menus. My only small wish is that the remote charged via USB-C or solar instead of using batteries, but that’s not a dealbreaker.
Overall, we’re thrilled with this upgrade—it’s already making our movie nights and everyday viewing so much better!

The 98" Hisense 98QD5QG completely transformed my living room. At 98 inches, it feels like having a full-on movie theater at home. I had been considering getting a projector for that big-screen experience, but I’m so glad I went with this TV instead. It’s just as immersive as a projector, but with incredible image quality, bright and vivid day or night. The picture quality is perfect. Colors are vibrant, contrast is deep, clearness of movement is super great. What really surprised me, though, was the sound quality. I expected to need a soundbar, but the built-in speakers actually fill the room impressively well, and perform as well as my soundbar. Another highlight for me is the Google TV interface. It’s clean, intuitive, and really easy to use. Switching between apps or finding what to watch feels smooth and natural. Overall, I’m really happy with this TV.

We upgraded from a 2020 Hisense 75" Android TV to the 98" QD5 QLED, and after a week, we're really impressed. Mounted in our basement, the size and picture quality make movie nights, and game days feel like a theater experience. The colors are bright, sharp and a big step up from our older model. Google TV is easy to use and runs smoothly. The built-in speakers are decent, but adding a soundbar makes a big difference. Motion can be slightly uneven in fast scenes, but overall, this is a fantastic upgrade for a cinematic home setup.

The Photos I posted don't do this TV Justice. This tv is amazing, not only in its size but in its price as well. My first thought was this needs to be placed across the other side of a room. Totally not the case. I have this tv 8 to 10' from my sitting area depending on what side of the couch you sit on. Its not too big.
The picture quality is amazing. Its so much more realistic. The dark scenes aren't so dark. The sound quality from the built in speakers is great as well it adapts to the area your in. It doesn't get soft and loud when changing from a movie to a commercial
The built in Google software and available videos are so smooth and transitioning from one to another is simple and easy.
If you're looking for a new tv. Take a look at this one. Make a step up and get the size. You won't regret it. Everyone I have shown this tv to loves it.

Hisense 98" Class QD5 TV is phenomenal! The screen is gigantic and has very good resolution. Watching it is a pleasant experience as the objects on the screen are very vivid. After mounting this TV on the wall, the living room now provides a cinematic experience. Surround sound and voice quality is quite amazing as well. Watching movies and action filled sport events is fun to view on this TV as the resolution is amazing providing clear, rich picture. Cartoons and animated videos provide a very vibrant viewing experience. The remote is user friendly and has soft buttons which makes it easier to select channels or increase volume. Overall, Hisense made an amazing TV with a huge screen and pleasurable viewing experience.

Wow is this TV incredible. At 98 inches you can see the screen with great clarity from across the room and it feels like you are right amongst the action on the screen. The 4k resolution provides a clear picture and the built in google assistant makes finding shows easy. The QLED colors are nice and bright, making every image pop on the screen. Sound is perfect and envelopes us.

I am so impressed by this TV! This Hisense TV supports Apple AirPlay for smooth streaming and also integrates with Apple Homekit and works with Alexa for smart control. I like how it features 4 ports of HDMI 2.1 so I can plug in other devices. The screen has such rich, vibrant, and realistic color. I like how it includes a Voice Remote with Google Assistant to easily change channels, launch apps, etc, The QLED tech gives a sharper and more colorful image, as well as a better viewing angle. The 98” screen size creates a truly cinematic experience at home. My husband wanted a projector, but we realized that the quality wouldn't compare against a TV. This was a great purchase that exceeded expectations and all my friends and family are jealous when they see it. I really like this TV and would definitely recommend it!

I had this TV delivered about 2 weeks ago. Set up and install went very smoothly, this TV is pretty heavy at 120lbs so I like the integrated handlebars into the rear of the TV, VERY smart. Setting up my Google account was effortless, the TV connected to my Wi-Fi right away. I ultimately decided to hard wire this TV to the internet. The picture and latency was still great wirelessly but it's a truly amazing picture connected via ethernet cable. I have watched many 4k Dolby Atmos content on this TV and it's such a rich texture of blacks, white and all other colors. The remote is very stylish and feels solid. The quick buttons for all the streaming apps are also great. I love being able to hop onto Disney+ or YouTube with the press of a button. The TV seems to be optimized for playing video games because it just seems so clear on the screen when I'm on my PS5. The refresh rate is awesome either playing video games or watching ultra hd content. I paired it with a Hisense surround sound system and it sounds amazing. Hisense hit this one out of the park!!

I will start by saying I am coming from a higher end oled so picture quality is not up to par with that but for what this tv is, its amazing. The price point to quality is awesome. Hisense has stepped up their game big time! Sound quality is amazing for coming form the tv. I couldn't wait for my installer to come hang it so till then i will be enjoying it on the floor. Set up was a breeze and love that google tv is built in. The picture quality is amazing. Colors could be more vibrant with less light bleed but again for what this unit is im loving it. Watching games on this gigantic screen is going to be a pleasure. Netflix is now going to take over the room and i dont feel there is any need to goto the movie theater. The size to quality is great. No pixelation or dim screen. Non reflective screen is perfect so i don't see reflections from the windows or lights above. Google tv ran smooth and efficiently. I will definitely play around with the settings to get the picture I want and cant wait to game. I tested out my PS5 on this and i was blown away how multiplayer is going to be enjoyable and no more squinting since the screen sizes are much better. Hisense has unlocked a new level of respect. No longer are they the underdog but i feel will give all the competition a hard time! The pics do not due justice to the actual quality. I feel it looks 10 times better in person. My son also loved how he can watch his favorite shows on this massive tv. He started facetiming his cousins and aunt to show off this beast!

I never imagined a 98-inch screen could fit into our lives, but it’s like stepping into a movie. I spend a lot of time watching films with my family and playing PlayStation when I have the chance, and this TV enhances the viewing experience. The colors are stunning, and the sound fills the room without the need for additional speakers. This TV is user-friendly, even with kids around, and switching between apps and gaming is a breeze. Thus is an excellent upgrade.

Bought this TV wall mounted turned it on and had light bleed from from the get go. Anything dark just looked washed out and no setting in the menu could fix it. Returning it and going with the 98 TCL Q6.
