TCL 98P8K 98 Inch QLED 4K HDR TV

Picture processing is handled by the proprietary AiPQ Pro Processor (MediaTek Pentonic 700 platform with 3GB RAM and 32GB storage). This intelligent chip uses AI algorithms for multi-dimensional optimization, including:

• Ai Contrast: Dynamically adjusts contrast for clearer bright and dark details.
• Ai Color: Enhances and optimizes the color gamut for a more immersive and natural look, with specific preservation of natural skin tones.
• Ai Clarity: Performs noise reduction and upscaling to deliver sharp, crystal-clear visuals, even for lower-resolution content.
• Ai Motion: Intuitively detects and calculates fast-moving objects to reduce motion blur, stuttering, and tearing.

The 98P8K TV supports a comprehensive range of High Dynamic Range (HDR) formats, including Dolby Vision, HDR10+, HDR10, and HLG, ensuring optimal contrast and color from diverse content sources. Its typical brightness is rated at 450 cd/m². The display utilizes an HVA Panel for superior contrast ratios and a wider viewing angle.

Gaming and Connectivity

For gamers, the 98P8K is a powerful centerpiece. The 144Hz native refresh rate is critical, and the TV supports advanced features via its HDMI 2.1 ports (it has a total of four HDMI ports). Key gaming enhancements under the “Game Master” suite include:

• VRR (Variable Refresh Rate): Synchronizes the 98P8K TV’s refresh rate with the console or PC’s frame rate, eliminating screen tearing and stuttering.
• ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode): Automatically switches the TV to its lowest latency setting when a game console is detected, ensuring a highly responsive experience.
• AMD FreeSync Premium: Further certifies fluid, artifact-free performance for AMD-compatible devices.
• Game Bar: Provides a real-time on-screen overlay to quickly access and adjust gaming settings like refresh rate and aiming aid.

Connectivity also includes built-in Wi-Fi 5 (dual-band 2.4GHz + 5GHz) and Bluetooth 5.4, along with USB (including USB 3.0), Ethernet, and support for Airplay 2 and Chromecast.

Audio and Smart Platform

The audio experience is elevated by an integrated 2.1 Channel ONKYO Hi-Fi Audio System. This setup includes dedicated, overweight bass units at the back to deliver powerful and immersive sound with a total output of 2x10W + 20W for the woofer. The sound system is certified with Dolby Atmos and DTS Virtual:X, which create a multidimensional and virtualized 3D sound field. The TV runs on the Google TV operating system, providing a user-friendly interface for accessing streaming apps and features like Hands-Free Voice Control through the built-in microphone for Google Assistant integration.
