Cinema right in your living room: 98″ Samsung TV now costs only 35 thousand, pleases with 120Hz frequency

If you dream of a truly large TV for your living room, we have interesting news for you. The Samsung UE98DU9072 with a giant 98-inch diagonal is selling on Alza for just 34,990 CZK. That’s another 5 thousand CZK less than in August, when we informed you about the then promotional offer for the same model. The TV thus reaches its historical price minimum.

Giant dimensions for a reasonable price

The main advantage of the Samsung UE98DU9072 TV is undoubtedly its massive 98-inch screen, which corresponds to a diagonal of almost 250 centimeters. Under normal circumstances, a TV of this size would cost several times the current price. However, Samsung had to make several compromises here to keep the price at an acceptable level.

The TV uses a classic LED panel instead of more modern technologies like Mini LED or OLED. This means worse contrast and less precise backlighting compared to more expensive models. On the other hand, you get 4K resolution (3840 × 2160 pixels) and HDR10+ support, which ensures decent image quality for regular viewing.

Features for gamers and movie fans

A pleasant surprise is the 120Hz refresh rate thanks to Motion Xcelerator technology. Gamers can thus enjoy smooth visuals when playing games in up to 4K resolution at 120 Hz via three HDMI 2.1 ports. The TV supports ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode) for automatic switching to game mode, VRR (Variable Refresh Rate), and FreeSync Premium to eliminate screen tearing.

For regular viewing, the Crystal 4K processor offers basic content upscaling to 4K resolution. The audio system has a power output of 20W in a 2-channel configuration with OTS Lite support for sound motion tracking. The Q-Symphony feature allows synchronization with compatible Samsung soundbars.

Smart Tizen system and practical features

The TV runs on the Samsung Tizen operating system, which provides access to all popular streaming services including Netflix, Disney+, and the Czech Oneplay. It also features Apple AirPlay 2 support for mirroring from iOS devices and voice control via Bixby or Alexa assistants.

An interesting feature is the included solar remote control, which charges from light and does not require battery replacement. The TV also has a game panel for quick adjustment of gaming features and support for ultra-wide aspect ratios 21:9 and 32:9.

Dimensions and installation

Before purchasing, definitely check if you have enough space in your living room – the TV measures 218 × 130 × 40 cm including the stand. The panel itself is only 6.4 cm thick. For wall mounting, you will need a bracket with VESA 600 × 400 mm standard, which must be able to support the weight of the TV.

Who is this giant TV ideal for?

The Samsung UE98DU9072 is the perfect choice for owners of large living rooms who want a home cinema-like experience without investing hundreds of thousands of crowns. It will be especially appreciated by sports fans, for whom the 98-inch diagonal will provide the feeling of being right in the stadium. Thanks to the 120Hz refresh rate, it will also please gamers who crave a big gaming experience.

Of course, it’s important to consider that for this price, you get a basic LED panel without local dimming, which means worse blacks and contrast than with more expensive models. However, if you are not a demanding videophile and primarily appreciate a huge screen area for a reasonable price, you will hardly find a better offer. Moreover, thanks to the support for all modern streaming services and gaming features, you get a universal entertainment center for the whole household.
