Our take on the TCL 98C8L-UK 98 Inch C8L 4K Ultra HD HDR Premium SQD-Mini LED Smart Google TV 2026

The TCL C8L is a 98-inch 4K Google TV built on SQD-Mini LED backlighting with up to 4000 dimming zones and up to 6000 nits peak brightness. It targets home cinema and gaming rooms that want OLED-like blacks without burn-in risk, plus a wide BT.2020 color gamut and Bang & Olufsen-tuned audio. Against smaller Mini LED rivals it trades size and zone count for a footprint that needs a very large wall and viewing distance. It sits above TCL's step-down Mini LED lines in brightness and dimming, but the huge panel makes reflections and off-axis viewing more noticeable than on smaller sets.

Questions and answers

Is the TCL C8L good for dark-room movies?
Yes. The SQD-Mini LED backlight with up to 4000 zones dims independently, so dark scenes stay black with limited blooming. It is a strong pick for a light-controlled cinema room.
How bright is it for HDR?
TCL rates up to 6000 nits peak on the 98-inch model. That is enough to make HDR highlights pop, though peak figures apply to small bright areas, not the whole screen.
Does it risk burn-in like OLED?
No. It is an LED-backlit LCD, so static logos and tickers will not burn in the way they can on OLED. That suits sports and news viewing.
What smart platform does it run?
Google TV, with the usual app store, voice search and casting. It also supports the major HDR formats TCL lists for this model.
How far should I sit from a 98-inch TV?
Around 2.5 to 3.5 meters works for mixed viewing; closer suits cinema and gaming. Check that your wall and doorway can take the panel before ordering.
Is the built-in sound enough?
The Bang & Olufsen-tuned speakers are better than most built-in TV audio, but a soundbar or AV receiver still adds more impact for a room this size.
