The TCL 98P8L is a 248 cm (98 inch) 4K Ultra HD QD-Mini LED Smart Google TV designed for large-scale home cinema viewing, live sports, and high-frame-rate console or PC gaming. Combining Quantum Dot color technology with a Mini LED backlight featuring up to 512 local dimming zones and an HVA panel, it delivers a 3840 × 2160 pixel resolution with high HDR brightness, deep contrast, and 93% DCI-P3 color gamut coverage.
Built to reduce backlight halo effects and motion blur on an expansive screen, this television uses TCL All-domain Halo Control Technology—incorporating Condensed Micro Lenses, Bidirectional 23-bit precision control, and Transient Response—alongside a 5000:1 native contrast ratio. Support for Dolby Vision, Dolby Vision IQ, HDR10+, HDR10, HLG, and IMAX Enhanced adjusts brightness and tone mapping across varied room lighting and mastered cinema formats.
For fast-paced entertainment and daily convenience, the TCL 98P8L runs on Google TV powered by a MediaTek Pentonic 700 processor with 3 GB RAM and 32 GB storage, giving access to streaming apps, Google Assistant hands-free voice control, and Apple AirPlay 2. Gamers benefit from a 144 Hz native refresh rate, 288 Hz VRR Game Accelerator support, AMD FreeSync, and HDMI 2.1 ports, paired with an integrated ONKYO 2.1-channel speaker system with Dolby Atmos and DTS Virtual:X.
3. Key Features
QD-Mini LED with Precise Dimming Up to 512 Zones
Combines Quantum Dot color crystals with up to 512 local dimming zones and All-domain Halo Control Technology to regulate light across the 98-inch screen. This minimizes light bleed around bright objects in dark scenes while preserving highlight and shadow detail.
HVA Panel with 5000:1 Native Contrast & 93% DCI-P3 Color
Uses an HVA panel structure with a 5000:1 native contrast ratio, 178° wide viewing angles, and 93% DCI-P3 color gamut coverage. Viewers get richer blacks, accurate color reproduction, and clear visibility from off-center seating positions in large living spaces.
144 Hz Native Refresh Rate & 288 Hz VRR Game Accelerator
Supports a full 4K 144 Hz native refresh rate and boosts up to 288 Hz VRR via compatible HDMI inputs alongside AMD FreeSync. This reduces screen tearing, stuttering, and motion blur during competitive gaming, action films, and live sports.
Comprehensive HDR & IMAX Enhanced Cinema Formats
Supports Dolby Vision, Dolby Vision IQ, HDR10+, HDR10, HLG, and IMAX Enhanced picture standards. Dynamic metadata and ambient light sensing adapt contrast and brightness frame by frame to match both bright daytime rooms and darkened home theaters.
ONKYO 2.1 Channel Audio with Dolby Atmos & DTS Virtual:X
Equipped with a built-in ONKYO 2.1 channel sound system featuring dedicated subwoofer output, Dolby Atmos, and DTS Virtual:X processing. It provides clearer dialogue and deeper low-frequency audio directly from the television without requiring immediate external speakers.
Google TV Smart Platform with Apple AirPlay 2 & HDMI 2.1
Runs Google TV with built-in Google Assistant, hands-free voice control, Miracast, Apple AirPlay 2, Bluetooth 5.4, dual-band Wi-Fi, and 4 HDMI 2.1 ports with eARC/ARC. Users can stream apps, mirror Apple or Android devices, and connect multiple high-bandwidth consoles or soundbars simultaneously.
