This 98 inch Hisense QD5 stands out as a huge screen for around $1,000, with solid value for casual viewing and decent specs for the price. The picture gets credit for strong color and very low black level, which suggests good contrast for the class. The main drawback is Google TV performance, which is described as slow on some setups and sometimes helped by resets, cache clearing, or using a separate streaming box. It reads as a big, budget friendly option if you can live with the smart TV software.

Common Questions (3)

  • The Google TV interface can be slow on some Hisense/TCL sets, with delayed startup and occasional Wi‑Fi recognition issues after updates. Clearing the cache for Google Play Store and YouTube, or doing a full reset after Android updates, can improve responsiveness; many users also prefer using a set-top box instead of the built-in OS.

  • At around $1,000, it is viewed as strong value for a 98-inch TV and is described as good for casual viewing. One buyer paid $900 during Super Bowl week and still considered it a great TV for the price.

    BlubluthehuskyBenO169cony246

  • RTINGS lists it at 5.6 overall, with brighter-room and sports scores higher than its home-theater score. The reported brightness is modest and the black level is very low, while color is stronger, so it is better suited to casual viewing than premium dark-room movie use.

I've had my Google TV for about 1.5 years and honestly I do not like the OS. Maybe it is my TV brand/make specifically (TCL 75-Inch Q65 QLED) but the OS is slow, takes what seems like a long time when I turn the TV on, and for some reason, since an update 2 months ago, the wifi isn't recognized when I turn the tv on and I have to go to settings and turn wifi off and on to get it to work (it is not a signal issue).

Nobody likes Google TV until they try Tizen/LG WebOS which are worse.

Roku UI is straightforward but inflexible. Amazon is no longer android based so no go there.

Every couple of years I do a full reset of my Google TV devices and it can make a huge difference, especially if there has been an Android version update.

I bought this when it was this price a few months ago. It's a 100" TV for 1000 bucks. OS is awful, all TVs are. Buy a set top box. Specs are decent enough, works great for casual TV enjoyers.

Always recommend Onn 4k box from walmart and enable apps only mode, go to developer settings and turn off animations
