I have the 98R754 (FALD), a 77" LG G1 OLED, a Sony 85" x900f (FALD) and a 2015 Vizio 80" M-Series (early implimentation of FALD w/ very few zones and a poor implimentation so it's a fair reference point for non-FALD vs current FALD bc it was often used with FALD turned off). You simply do not want a non-FALD tv at 98", especially when it's a relatively small price difference.
The R754 is a solid tv. It's much better than I expected. I havn't done a side by side with the Sony but the image quality is fairly similar. The x900f is still well regarded despite it being a 2020 model. No, it's not an OLED, but the R754 black levels/contrast are of sufficiently high quality that only those with an interest in display tech would choose the 77" or even 83" oled over the 98" R754 all things considered (& assuming the extra size can be utilized).
I considered the QM8 (you can import the Chinese version for about $7500 delivered), but its newer tech clearly has some growing pains at the moment so I passed given the large price difference and hopeful resolution of those issues in a year or so that may then justify an upgrade.
At bottom, if you buy the S5, you'll regret it after realizing that on a very large tv, the quality of the black levels become even more apparent than with smaller tvs. And, for only $1,000 more, you could have had very nice black levels of the R754.

I am stuck with 85" and put it in another smaller room if I get 98"
So a couple years ago, when I got this Sony, someone said essentially "why would you trade your Samsung for a Sony? Bad move."
Two years prior to that "why would you get a Samsung when you can just get a TCL with all the same features for cheaper?"
It's full circle, now.
I'll let you know how it goes, looking forward to the massive display and a few extra frames. The owner's manual shows HDMI 1 is 4k 144hz compatible.
Here is a man and a clearly strong woman hanging a 98" TCL:

Micro LED is never going to come down in price to the commodity level. Maybe there will be some name brand offerings under $50K by 2030. People waiting for Micro-LED are addicted to Hopium. Here is a team of AV professionals wrestling with the 200lb, $150K 110" Samsung:
