    Possibly the lowest price on record for a 98" TV?

      Pfft….Just buying my 100" with an Ozb logo…

      https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/LCD-TV-Factory-Price-…

      FWIW - I bought a Chinesium 47" 4K TV in 2014ish (Harvey Norman didn't even know what 4k meant back then) for $660 delivered. Turned out to be a LG panel..but no LG menus (ie cant adjust the backlight without going into the secret source+2580 menu).

      But it's still going strong.

      They have had 98's for a while. 100,110's, 115s is where they are at these days.

      I remember going to either HN or TGG and seeing the same thing about that time!
      At that time I thought that a TV that size would probably end up somewhere between $10k-$20k :-)

    • d3al on 06/06/2025 - 13:16

      Yep, now the 115 inch ones are north of $25k

      • tunzafun001 on 06/06/2025 - 14:57

        $3.5k if you are competent at repairing a TV yourself if you needed.
        That being said, I've never had a Chinesium die yet.
        100" is a better price point $1000 ish.

        • MrFrugalSpend on 06/06/2025 - 20:29

          I've had a Chinesium die at 11 months - phew, just inside warranty so refund it was.
          A mate had his die bought at the same time at about 18 months

          • tunzafun001 on 06/06/2025 - 21:48

            @MrFrugalSpend: ACL has any TV at 3yrs warranty minimum.

            I just missed out on a faulty 75 Samsung OLED, 13 months old. Samsung said warranty is over. Guy sold it for $120.
            Was devo when I told him the buyer will be putting in a warranty claim with a copy of the ACL attached.
            No issue whatsoever enforcing a 13 month warranty on an OLED. LG come to the party in the 4th year (as if it did go to court, it would get up).

          • tunzafun001 on 06/06/2025 - 23:13

            @MrFrugalSpend: Not one, not a couple, but..'several years". So minimum 3.

            Extract from the ACL..

            "For a TV, a reasonable time for a TV to be expected to last would be at least several years, depending on the price and quality. "

            But this is obviously bought from an Aussie retailer.

            • Jackson on 07/06/2025 - 00:52

              @tunzafun001: I don't know in who's book 3 is several, surely at least 4

              If I told someone on Marketplace I had several types of an item for sale, and they drove over and turned up and I had 3, they'd be pissed

            • MrFrugalSpend on 07/06/2025 - 08:55

              @tunzafun001: Mine was in warranty, so didn't matter I got a refund without a hassle of an ACL argument.

              My mate bought his for his business through the company for the office wall = no consumer protection.

              ACL also takes into account if it is cheap crap that is not expected to last as long

              • tunzafun001 on 07/06/2025 - 10:21

                @MrFrugalSpend: Ok, well if its a business running 24/7, rarely any warranty at all. But, TV's are 99% the same these days. So not too hard to fix. Being a cheapie it's probably an 80 cent cap gone.

      TGG has recently (2 days ago) price matched a costco fridge for me, but wouldn't include delivery even though that's included in costco's price. Only worth if it if you've really hogged all the 10% off GCs.

    THAT'S A BIG BOY

  • Dollar Dreamer on 06/06/2025 - 12:25

    Why don't they make TV's this size 8K or even 16K?

    • Mortgagetightass on 06/06/2025 - 12:34
      +18

      For the simple fact, where are you watching 8k or 16k content?

    • GenghisGun on 06/06/2025 - 12:35

      I don't think that there's an abundance of native 8K or above content to be consumed by such screens, I would guess that that is the bottleneck. Also a lot of people seem generally OK with consuming content at 1080p still, although 4K is fast becoming the new standard for higher quality viewing, 8K seems to be a while away from ubiquity

      • figlia on 06/06/2025 - 14:55
        +2

        "4K is fast becoming the new standard…" its around since 2014 and most of the ppl who didnt need to buy TV in the last ~3-4 years still running old HD
        if anything its slow as f… and I expect 8k to be even slower as its bottle necking a lot of other tech with very minimal benefits…

    • tunzafun001 on 06/06/2025 - 15:04

      So you turf this and buy another TV when the $8k comes out.

      Also, a 100" 8K mini LED TV uses more power than the Sun….

      • Dollar Dreamer on 06/06/2025 - 16:01

        True, Mini Led is a power hog, I saw the power consumption on some of the Sony Mini led models, makes the 2010's 1080 Plasma TV's look efficient. Bigup Panasonic and Pioneer Plasmas indahouse.

        • tunzafun001 on 06/06/2025 - 16:17

          8K 85" is a great big heater… But…uses 4 x what our Aircon does.

          All bad in summer.

          Plasma's were In the 200 - 500w range I believe…which you will see these days in a 65-75" TV.

          Pretty sad they don't even put power consumption in the specs these days.

          Guess cost of living / power is super cheap anyway right?

      Especially with the new Mario Kart out, 4 player split-screen with 1080p per player should be decent enough.

    Make sure it fits in your elevator if you live in an apartment! That stopped me from pursuing anything bigger than 85" :(

    • zonra on 06/06/2025 - 13:13

      I'm surprised a boxed 85" fit in a typical elevator, unless you stand it up?

      • jace88 on 06/06/2025 - 13:26
        +4

        I actually did measure it before and our apartment lift was about 2.1 x 2.1 for maximum dimensions to get through the door… other stores usually list packaging dimensions so I checked against that, and failing that, could always take the TV out of the box or hold it diagonally….

        That being said I didn't actually buy an 85" TV (we have a 75" from before) so who knows if my application of pythagora's theory works in practice!
