If you’re looking for the biggest TV possible for your money, then the obvious top contender comes from TCL. The Chinese company known for its impressive value TVs has a 98-inch LED TV available on sale right now for just under $2,000.

Both Amazon and Best Buy have this deal available as of this writing, and though they’re in conflict as to what the MSRP originally was — as is, strangely, TCL’s website, which lists a third retail price — Amazon price history data shows that it’s been listed as high as $3,999.99 since its late-2023 release.
As the above TCL promotional image notes, this is a lot of TV, having roughly the footprint of a queen-size mattress. As for the features that one looks for today in a new TV, it has some, but not all. The display is direct-lit, so you don’t have to worry about uneven brightness, but it doesn’t have local dimming to increase contrast. Otherwise, it has a 120Hz native refresh rate with variable refresh rate support, all four HDR standards, wide color gamut, the Google TV OS with Google Assistant, four HDMI inputs (one with ARC/eARC), and an automated low-latency mode.

If you want to go big on a relative budget — $2,000 isn’t a budget price, but it is for a 98-inch TV — then this looks like the TV for you.
