    98" lol. This reminds me of all those people who bought 60-inch 'big screen' TVs back in the 90s so they could watch VHS on it.

      It's great to see TV prices coming down again, I am still surprised how far 85" mid range TVs have come down and the good quality these days.

      CRT's don't have traditional pixels. A VHS on 60" CRT looks way better than a 60" LCD

    • ThePunchingBag on 26/04/2025 - 09:15

      I'm old enough to remember when 68" CRT TV's with Teletext were The Bomb

        Imagine if a 60” CRT existed, it would weigh about 400kg haha.

      We're going to need 8K TVs soon. An 8K 98", 4K 49", and 1080p 24.5" all have the same dot pitch as each other.

      • Ricktheroller on 26/04/2025 - 10:05

        Absolutely no need whatsoever for 8K if you read up on it and understand the capabilities of the human eye.

          If a TV is twice as big then your pixels are going to be twice as big too. And the ALP are going to win this election so NBN is going to be upgraded to 2 gigabit. Processors in our devices are supercomputers, there's no reason not to start going to 8K now.

            @AustriaBargain:

            If a TV is twice as big then your pixels are going to be twice as big too.

            Not necessarily

            so NBN is going to be upgraded to 2 gigabit

            Instantly?

            Processors in our devices are supercomputers

            You need to check what a supercomputer is

            there's no reason not to start going to 8K now.

            For all the 8k content that currently exists

            • AustriaBargain on 26/04/2025 - 11:34

              @spaceflight: Yes, a 4K TV that has a panel twice as big as another 4K TV will have pixels twice as big with dot pitch twice as far apart. And you know I meant relative supercomputers, relative to like when 4K was new. And there was no 4K content once upon a time either when 4K resolution TVs were brand new there was nothing to watch on them.

              • marshmall0w2 on 26/04/2025 - 11:36

                @AustriaBargain: Yeah that part of the comment makes no sense. 8k for 98" is the way to go. However, his comment about content that go to 8k is the one that makes sense and actually matters.

                • AustriaBargain on 26/04/2025 - 11:37

                  @marshmall0w2: And we have AI upscaling to make 4K content look good at 8K. The time for 8K is perfect, never been a better time for it.

                  • marshmall0w2 on 26/04/2025 - 11:38

                    @AustriaBargain: Real-time upscaling against protected content isn't coming anytime soon. But hopefully it will.

                    • AustriaBargain on 26/04/2025 - 11:38

                      @marshmall0w2: We can upscale at the mastering stage of content or on the TV too. Lots of good options for upscaling with AI.

              @spaceflight: Lol yeah my nbn is still on 42mbit max. I agree, i even hate the thought that i had to pay more for 4k on my 55" tv even though almost all the content i watch is 1080p, and i can only tell the difference if im admit 1m away from the screen. At 1080p on my 120" projector i can see pixels if im pretty close, but i definitely wouldn't say it looks bad

            @AustriaBargain: With perfect vision you need to be sitting closer than 1.8 metres from a 98" TV to have any benefit whatsoever over 4k, it's completely pointless. The human eye can't pick up that much detail, 1080p to 4k yes, but 4k to 8k has no benefit from a realistic viewing distance. All it does is use more electricity, more processing power and more bandwidth to get the same result.

            • AustriaBargain on 26/04/2025 - 15:32

              @Ricktheroller: 20/20 isn't perfect vision, it's average vision. It's like saying someone with an IQ of 100 has "perfect intelligence".

  • safrane on 26/04/2025 - 09:29

    Just make sure you don't need to knock down the walls in order to get this TV into your living room.

    • serpserpserp on 26/04/2025 - 19:53

      Most people pour a slab, buy this TV, then build a house around it.

  • stopthecap on 26/04/2025 - 09:29

    C655 is a terrible model for a 98. C755 was 3600 not long ago.

    No complaints from me. Bought this TV as 4 player split screen was hard on a 59" plasma. Now each player has their own massive screen.

        My brother and i use to place a cardboard shelf through the middle of the screen.
        One laying down playing the bottom. One sitting high. No one could see where the other was that way.
        At least the packaging would come in handy for that if we wanted to revist that memory.

      55-65

      My bro, you can always refer to the sizing here https://www.tcl.com/au/en/tvs/98c655

    • BlueGlowOne on 26/04/2025 - 10:39

      Size wise I think it would be fine for some people but not everyone. It depends on your personal preferences i.e. definition and immersiveness.

      I prefer a slightly closer than recommended distance for a more immersive and theatrical experience but not too close that I am shifting my head left and right.

      A family member has a 85" setup at 3.2m seated distance and that is fine but it is more premium model than this one with better upscaling.
      98" is signficantly larger - like around 1/3 more real estate space - and I would definitely recommend going to a store with a tape measure and testing before purchase.

      I would also be concerned with ventilation. I have watch sports at friends places and the larger OLED and LCD TVs can get quite warm in summer too.

    • krisspy on 26/04/2025 - 10:41

      Bigger isn't bad… It just adds more to the wow factor

    • Logical on 26/04/2025 - 10:53

      So a bedroom used as a theatre room? Will never work with the longest dimension only 3.6m

    • 0 0 0 on 26/04/2025 - 12:31

      Theatre room for kids? Why so small?

    • MrZ on 27/04/2025 - 09:36

      3.6 x 3.6… sounds more like a converted bedroom than a purpose built theatre room.

  • pyr0maniac on 26/04/2025 - 10:10

    More interested in the C755 - are we likely to see it drop to 3600 again? Or is the current sale price of $4245 as good as it will get?

  • JinWu on 26/04/2025 - 11:02

    How much does it cost to install?

    • 0 0 0 on 26/04/2025 - 13:56

      Free with this deal else I'd guess a few hundred. They need minimum 3 people and probably an hour of labour.

      • ChickenAdobo on 26/04/2025 - 14:14
        +2

        No. It doesn't take an hour of labour nor 3 people. They had two subcontractors and was installed less than 20 minutes. I know because i got 98inch C755 at home from the last deal.

        • 0 0 0 on 26/04/2025 - 16:14

          I got more value for money then. Three contractors booked and they get paid probably an hour's labour but only take 20min. I already unboxed mine too

  • serpserpserp on 26/04/2025 - 19:56

    (additional chargers if greater than 25km from closest store location).

    How many will I need? I have a few spare…

  • toughgamer on 27/04/2025 - 10:58

    Rocking a 135 inch 4k projector + hard screen atm, the combo cost me 4k+ (the irony … 1 pixel for 1 dollar) but at this rate a 120 inch tv would cost less than this and i might switch (but then again - you don’t get fatigue from projector screen since it’s reflected light not direct light)

      Way off on that calculation there
