You can now buy Samsung's 98-inch QLED 4K TV for an even more affordable price

Description:
It's hardly a budget set, but we think you'll be surprised by the relatively 
low price of this big screen QLED TV from Samsung.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

Finally, Samsung's new 98-inch QLED 4K TV is a bargain compared to LG's 
same-size OLED TV and it's now available to buy in the US for $7,999.99. And 
if you order it today (July 3), you can get another $500 off. 

We've been excited about the Samsung 98Q80C for some time now  it's a massive 
98-inch QLED TV with a price tag that's a lot lower than you might expect. 
But it's not available everywhere. Potential buyers in the UK and the 
Netherlands can register their interest and will get an email when it's 
available there. If you pre-register in the UK, Samsung will take 300 off the 
price, whatever that turns out to be. 

It's a lot of money, I know. But it's not that much money when you look at 
the market for big screen TVs. Some similarly sized TVs such as LG's 97-inch 
G2 OLED go for two or three times the money  LG's recommended price was 
$24,999 and it's priced very competitively compared to key rivals. For 
example in the UK, the LG OLED Evo G3, an 83-inch TV, is 7,499.98. 

So what do you get for the money? Samsung Q80C 98-inch: key features 

The Q80C is a QLED TV, but it isn't a Neo QLED, which is the panel with a 
mini-LED backlight. This has a Direct Full Array backlight with local 
dimming, a system we've seen in many other Samsung TVs and found quite 
impressive. It's not as bright as the Neo QLEDs but it's not bad either. 

The screen has a bezel-free appearance on three of its four sides, and inside 
there's Samsung's Neural Quantum Processor for upscaling regular HD to 4K. 
There's Dolby Atmos and Samsung's own Object Tracking Sound Lite, with 
support for Samsung's Q Symphony 3.0. The spatial audio technology is 
Samsung's system that enables you to use the TV's speakers as part of a wider 
subwoofer/soundbar setup. 

This is far too big for most of us, and for our test rooms. But it's an 
industry that didn't exist until a few years ago, with big screen fans having 
to move to projectors because decent TV panels just couldn't be made without 
completely terrifying price tags. 

That said, there are still very few TVs of this size at this price, although 
we should mention TCL here. Its 98-inch Collection XL has a retail price of 
$8,499.99 but has been offered for around $6,000 on Amazon. Similar 
discounting on the Samsung is unlikely in the very short term, but who knows 
what Black Friday may bring?
