98″ TCL Mini LED TV for 45 thousand? It's a quarter off at Alza thanks to a code

A TV with a 249 cm diagonal falls into an extreme category that cost hundreds of thousands just a few years ago. You can now buy the TCL 98C6K for 44,993 Kč during Audio-Video Weeks by entering the code AUDIOVIDEOTYDNY25. If you are interested in current availability or want to verify that the promotion is still running, you will find everything directly on the product page.

Quick summary:
✅ Makes sense if you want a true home cinema with a huge screen and have been looking for an opportunity for the price to drop below 50 thousand.
⚠️ Consider if you have a large enough room (recommended viewing distance is at least 3.5–4 meters) and if you can manage the installation logistics.
💡 For 44,993 Kč, you get a 249 cm Mini LED with 512 dimming zones, Dolby Vision, and gaming features – comparable 98″ competitor models cost significantly more.

Why this TV is interesting

The TCL 98C6K targets those who want a true cinema experience but cannot or do not want to install a projector. With a diagonal of 249 cm, it is one of the largest TVs you can get for a typical living room. And thanks to QD-Mini LED technology, you get significantly better picture quality than with classic LED TVs – 512 local dimming zones mean more precise backlighting, deeper blacks, and smaller “halo” effects around bright objects.

At its regular price of 59,990 Kč, it would be a solid offer. However, with the current discount to 44,993 Kč, you enter a price range where you typically find 75–85″ competitor models. Plus, you get a six-month SledovaniTV subscription and an extended warranty – totaling an additional 5,490 Kč in value.

Key parameters: what to expect from the picture

The resolution of 3840 × 2160 (4K Ultra HD) is standard for a 98″ TV – anything smaller wouldn’t make sense. The panel offers a refresh rate of 100/120 Hz, and 144 Hz in gaming mode. This will be especially appreciated by gamers who want to connect the TV to a powerful PC or next-gen console via HDMI 2.1.

The QD-Mini LED backlight with 512 zones provides local dimming – the TV can dim specific parts of the image independently of others. According to the manufacturer, the result is a contrast ratio of up to 7000:1. The anti-reflective HVA panel also suppresses reflections, which is a practical advantage for such a large screen.

Among HDR standards, you will find support for HDR10, HDR10+, HLG, and Dolby Vision. The AiPQ Pro processor uses a set of algorithms to enhance the image – from upscaling lower resolutions to real-time contrast and color optimization.

Sound that doesn’t need a soundbar

TCL has integrated a 40W ONKYO 2.1 audio system with a built-in subwoofer into this model. It supports Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and DTS Virtual:X – providing spatial sound without the need for external speaker systems. For regular movie and series viewing, this may be a sufficient solution. However, if you expect quality comparable to a dedicated mid-range soundbar, you will likely want to add external audio.

Practical aspects: ports, system, installation

Connectivity includes 4× HDMI 2.1 (with ALLM and VRR support, including AMD FreeSync Premium Pro), USB 3.0, optical output, CI+ slot, Wi-Fi 5 GHz, and Bluetooth 5.4. For gamers, Game Master support is key, with a Gamebar gaming panel and the option to switch aspect ratios to 21:9 or 32:9.

The operating system is Google TV with full support for apps from Google Play, Google Assistant for voice control, and features like Chromecast and Apple AirPlay 2. A practical bonus is integrated Google Meet support for video calls (requires an external camera).

Regarding installation – the TV weighs approximately 47 kg and has a VESA standard of 600 × 500 mm. Alza offers a delivery and wall mounting service. Be aware that a standard tabletop stand will take up considerable space, and handling a TV of this size requires at least two people.

When it doesn’t make sense

If you have a smaller living room with a viewing distance under 3 meters, a 98″ TV will be too large, and watching will not be comfortable. Similarly, if you are looking for the absolute best in black levels and contrast, OLED technology still offers better results – but at a significantly higher price and in smaller diagonals.

Also consider logistics: the TV measures over 2.2 meters in width. Verify if it will fit through doors, up staircases, and if you have a suitable wall or furniture for placement. And if maximum HDR brightness is a priority for you, the higher-end TCL C7K series with 3000 nits might be a better choice – but at a higher price.

Verdict: who it’s worth it for

The TCL 98C6K is a TV for those who want maximum screen real estate for a reasonable price. For 44,993 Kč, you get a 249 cm Mini LED with 512 dimming zones, support for all major HDR formats, solid gaming features, and an integrated 2.1 audio system. Plus gifts worth an additional 5,490 Kč.

If you have a sufficiently large room (ideally with a viewing distance of 3.5–5 meters) and want to enjoy movies, sports, or games on a truly large screen without the compromises associated with projectors, this is one of the most affordable ways to achieve this experience on the Czech market.
