Community Reviews
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.
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.
