Why can't I find anything on this TV? Was it just released?

This looks better or the same to the 98Q651G.

Dolby Vision IQ - added
~500 kWh/year vs 600kWh/year - more efficient.
288 VRR vs 240 VRR - does this even matter lol?

Biggest outliner: 4× HDMI 2.0 vs (2× HDMI 2.1 + 2× HDMI 2.0) on the 98Q651G 🥴
I hope that's a mistake.

If you don't get confirmed HDMI 2.1 or 4K120Hz + 12‑bit, you'll still get excellent performance (4K60Hz, 4K up to maybe 120Hz at 10/8‑bit, the QLED panel etc) but maybe not the full "top tier gaming spec" so I wouldn't buy it for gaming, it's a 98" TV for 1K.

For true gaming I would probably get a true dedicated gaming monitor. I don't own this TV "yet" but when it arrives I can tell you better. My wife is going to hate me for this LOL....

Is mid tier in 2025 better than Top tier 2021? If you compare a decent 2025 mid‑tier TV to a 2021 TV that was "top of the line" then, the newer mid‑tier may offer better brightness, better HDR effect, more up‑to‑date features, and definitely a better value. And don't forget a recent agreement has suspended heightened reciprocal tariffs on imports from China until November 10, 2026. So next years 100" under 1K might not happen next black Friday.

The price and the specs are right where I want them, but I would prefer to buy this or something similar from Costco where you can get a far longer warranty... Any chance of that you guys think?

I really wish free mounting was included as they are including it on $1400 Hisense deal.
Id like free setup and recycle that they have sometimes

less than $10 per inch.

How bad is this TV?

5yr warranty is $220
2yr Warranty is $120

This is disposable at this this price.
