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

Continuing its trend of offering comically large TVs for cheap, TCL has 
launched a new 98-inch model to its Smart S Class line known as the S5. And 
itll go for the low price of $5,000. 

Five grand for one of the best TVs , no matter how big it is, may not sound 
like a steal, but it is if you look at the competition. Samsungs recently 
released 98-inch TV costs $8,000, Sonys X90L costs $10,000, and LGs G2 OLED 
costs five times as much as the TCL S5. So what do you get for $5,000? Simply 
put  visual immersion. The TV provides a 4K (3,840 x 2,160 pixels) image with 
a variable refresh rate up to 120Hz. This quality is further boosted by a 
range of image-enhancing features including Dolby Vision IQ and HDR10+ high 
dynamic range.

youll see is nothing but screen. (Image credit: TCL) Notable features 

TCL states that inside the TV is the proprietary AiPQ Engine powering the 
models software features. It allows for vibrant color, sharp clarity, and 
dramatic depth. Thanks to this hardware, the S5 supports a Wide Color Gamut 
which, alongside the High Brightness LED Backlight, results in a dynamic 
picture with high color volume. 

There is more to the TCL S5 than just how pretty it looks. It has an audio 
system made up of two 15W speakers plus a 20W subwoofer. The speakers will be 
further enhanced by Dolby Atmos as well as DTS Virtual:X for immersive sound. 
Although if you want to take your audio quality to the next level, we 
recommend getting a soundbar . 

For entertainment, there are several notable features we should mention. 
Along with 4K 120Hz support, there is Auto Game Mode for ensuring a smooth 
frame rate and fast response times while gaming. TCL's set uses Google TV for 
streaming from the best streaming services . These can be controlled via the 
Google TV app; however the TCL S5 is compatible with Android phones only. 
Availability 

You can pre-order the 98-inch TCL S5 right now on TCLs official website , but 
only if you live in the United States. Its unknown if or when the model will 
launch internationally although we did ask. This story will be updated at a 
later time. US footballs fans can also snag $200 off NFL Sunday Ticket from 
YouTube and YouTube TV with the purchase of a 98-inch S5 through September 
19, 2023. 

Although $5,000 may be cheap for a TV of this size, we understand that its 
still a big ask. If youre looking for something more budget friendly, check
