Two and a half meters diagonal for the price of a seventy-fiver. Before you buy it, measure your living room

Ninety-eight inches is a size where a TV stops being furniture and becomes a wall. Samsung UE98DU9072 now with code ALZADNY30 costs 31 979 Kč instead of 49 990 Kč – a discount of 18 000 Kč for a TV whose diagonal measures over two and a half meters. For this amount, you usually buy a quality 75-inch TV today.

👍 Get it if you have a large living room, sit at least four meters from the TV, and want the maximum experience from sports and movies.
🤔 Hesitate if you are demanding about picture quality – this is a basic Crystal UHD series without Mini LED backlighting, not a flagship Neo QLED.
💰 Price: 31 979 Kč for 98 inches means about 128 Kč per centimeter of diagonal, which is unbeatable for this size.

Size that changes the way you watch

The difference between 75 and 98 inches is not gradual – the screen area increases by more than two-thirds, and during football or hockey, you will see the entire field for the first time as the cameraman sees it. It is especially with sports and action movies that this size pays off the most, and it’s an experience that no smaller TV with a better panel can come close to.

Samsung adds a Crystal 4K processor with AI resolution upscaling, which is absolutely crucial for this diagonal – regular TV broadcasting would look tragic on 98 inches without proper scaling. The Tizen system is one of the fastest on the market, has a complete Czech offer of applications and services, and Samsung promises long-term free updates for it. It also features a gaming mode with low input lag and an Art Gallery function, thanks to which the turned-off TV doesn’t look like a giant black slab.

Before you get it, measure your living room

This is the most important advice in the entire article. Ninety-eight inches means a width of over 218 centimeters – that’s more than most sofas. The recommended viewing distance is approximately four meters and more; anyone who puts such a TV in a smaller room will be watching pixels and individual parts of the image instead of a movie. So, measure the wall, the table, and the distance from the sofa beforehand.

The second thing is technology: this is the basic Crystal UHD series, meaning an LED panel without Mini LED backlighting and without quantum dots. Black will be more dark gray in dark scenes, and HDR won’t get as much room as with more expensive Neo QLED models. To this, you must add a soundbar – the built-in speakers are underpowered for such a large screen – and professional delivery and installation, which Alza offers for large TVs; you won’t lift such a piece yourself. If you want the absolute maximum picture for the minimum money and have a place to put it, no one will give you more inches per crown today. You can find other TVs in Mega Discounts at Alza.

Would 98 inches fit in your living room, or is it already beyond reason?
