Is the 98-inch QD5 good for gaming?

It is fine for casual play, but the 60 Hz panel and lack of HDMI 2.1, VRR or 120 Hz mean it cannot match gaming-focused TVs for fast console play.

Does it need a soundbar?

Most owners add one. The built-in speakers handle everyday viewing but sound thin for movies and music.

The TV, its stand and a remote are included. A wall mount is not, so plan for a heavy-duty bracket at this size.

How does it compare with Hisense's U8 series?

The U8 line adds mini-LED backlighting, higher brightness and 120 Hz gaming features. The QD5 trades those for a lower-cost big-screen QLED picture.

At roughly 86 inches wide before the stand, the 98-inch model needs a wide wall and a clear viewing distance of around 10 feet or more.

Does it support HDR formats?

Yes, it accepts HDR content, though peak brightness is below premium QLED and mini-LED sets, so highlights are less punchy.

Our take on the Hisense Class QD5 Series 4K UHD QLED Smart Google TV 98-inch

The Hisense QD5 is a 4K QLED Google TV sold in very large screen sizes, including a 98-inch model for big rooms and wall-filling viewing. Quantum dot film widens color over a standard LED set, and HDR plus an anti-glare coating help in bright rooms. It runs Google TV with Assistant built in and carries four HDMI ports. The catch is a 60 Hz panel with no HDMI 2.1 features, so it trails pricier big-screen rivals for gaming, while its value against other 98-inch sets is the main draw.
