A: “The Beast Heavy Duty TV Wall Mount With Long Extension Arms” will work! Had this TV, TCL 98” installed today at my house and I purchased the above mount from Mount-It.com, also available at Home Depot and shipping was fast. It cost $199.99, holds 275 pounds, has a 10 year warranty and compatible with TV”S up to 800x600 so that includes the 500x600. I just learned all this recently. Our installers were VERY impressed with The Beast said it was the best they’ve ever seen, easy to install, extremely sturdy and it worked beautifully. Our new 98” is hanging right now and will extend well over 30” front the wall. I purchased the Kanto mount from Best Buy for this 98” TV & I was told it would work, But I contacted Kanto asking if their Kanto PMX700 is compatIble with TCL 98” TV and they responded, “this TCL 98” TV is not compatible with ANY OF OUR Kanto TV Mounts.”. That’s when I researched and found THE BEAST! AND WE ARE SO THANKFUL WE DID! I hope this helps someone, Thanks
Q: Would this fit on a tv stand thats 80 inches????
A: Yes but it will hang over .
Q: Does it have a upscaling processor? If so, what kind?
A: Yes, it automatically upscales everything. From 480p to 1080p HD. However keep in mind that this is a native 4K UHD television. That's where it shines. When upscaling 1080p HD looks fantastic, but as the resolution of the source decreases like 480p, or 720p, the upscaled image doesn't look as good because upscaling doesn't add any new details to the incoming image. So a low resolution image scaled to 98 inches doesn't look like a 4K UHD high resolution image, it's blurry. This is true with all TVs that upscale to 4K. We love this TV! It produces beautiful looking video. But the quality of the source matters.
Q: Hi, I know the TV width is 85.7 inches but what is the width of the stands / legs?
A: For this 98 inch TCL TV, the feet spacing to fit on a stand is 68.5 inches wide and 16.5 inches deep. Hope this helps! Thank you, TCL Customer Support
A: This TCL TV features standard 4K upscaling. Hope this helps! Thank you, TCL Customer Support
A: This TCL TV features standard 4K upscaling. Hope this helps! Thank you, TCL Customer Support
A: This TV supports powerful new HDMI features, including eARC, Variable Refresh Rate, Game Accelerator 240, etc. HDMI 1 is capable of 4K/144Hz and HDMI 2 is capable of 4K/120Hz. Hope this helps! Thank you, TCL Customer Support
A: Yes! I walll mounted mine.
