This Gargantuan 98-Inch TCL TV Is $3,000 Off for the Holidays

If you’re looking to get the movie theater experience from the comfort of your living room, then we’ve got a deal you won’t want to miss. The 2024 TCL QM8 is our absolute favorite TV on the market, and right now, you can pick up a gargantuan 98-inch model at a serious discount. Both Amazon and Best Buy have knocked a staggering $3,000 off the usual price, which is a 50% discount. At $3,000, it’s still a serious chunk of change, but this new record-low price beats the previous all-time low by $1,000. Other sizes are also on sale at both retailers.

Now, there are a couple of crucial details you should be aware of before you add this TV to your cart. The first of which is that Best Buy is also offering free installation with this deal, which is a $399 value and could save you a lot of time and work. However, this service is only available in select locations, so be sure to check if you’re address qualifies. The second thing to be aware of is that if you order through Amazon, it won’t be delivered until after Christmas, and there is no installation service offered.

If a 98-inch display is a little too large for your liking, there are plenty of smaller models on sale as well, starting at just $900 for the 65-inch model, which is a $600 discount.

The new TCL QM8 earned itself the top spot on our list of 2024’s best TVs thanks to excellent image quality and best-in-class brightness, as well as its relatively affordable price. It features a dazzling QD-Mini LED display for excellent contrast, and incorporates quantum dot technology for rich and vibrant colors. It’s also packed full of advanced features like AI optimization, Dolby Atmos audio support, Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, Chromecast built-in and a dedicated gaming mode. It also has an IMAX Enhanced Certification, which means it meets specific requirements for resolution, contrast, brightness, color and sound, providing a truly immersive watch experience at home.

Will this item arrive in time for Christmas?

If you’re ordering this as a holiday gift, you probably want to know if it’s going to arrive on time. With Christmas and Hanukkah both taking place on Dec. 25 this year, and Kwanzaa kicking off the day after, it’s important to note shipping deadlines for USPS, FedEx, UPS, Amazon and others.

Guaranteed shipping deadlines at some of these delivery companies arrived as soon as Dec. 16, with others offering expedited services that may allow you to order as late as Dec. 23 or even Dec. 24. Where delivery is no longer possible, be sure to assess your in-store pickup options or check out these great digital deals for the holidays. 

According to Amazon, this item will not be delivered in time for Christmas, so you’ll want to shop at Best Buy if you’re hoping to have it under (or, at least, beside) the tree this year. Depending on your location, you can have it delivered and installed before the holidays are here — though you should always double-check shipping times for your address before ordering. If you don’t want to deal with the hassle of having it shipped, you may be able to pick it up in person at your local branch, though in-store availability is pretty limited for an item this size.
