Our take on the TCL 98QM851G 98" 4K HDR Smart Mini-LED QLED Google TV (2024)
The TCL QM851G is a 98-inch 4K Google TV using Mini-LED backlighting with QLED color, and it is one of the brightest, most dimming-zone-rich big-screen TVs you can buy. Its size and brightness suit a large, light-controlled living room or media room where a projector would wash out. Against rivals, it undercuts similarly sized Mini-LED sets from Samsung and Sony on features per dollar, but its off-angle picture and motion handling trail the best. Reviewers rate it highly for HDR impact and gaming, with the usual caveats about size, reflections and panel uniformity.
- Very high brightness for HDR highlights
- Thousands of Mini-LED dimming zones for deep blacks
- Google TV with broad app support
- High refresh rate with gaming features like VRR and ALLM
- Strong feature set for the size against premium rivals

Questions and answers
- Is the TCL QM851G good for gaming?
- Yes. It has a high refresh rate, variable refresh rate and auto low-latency mode, and reviewers report low input lag for console play.
- How does it compare with Samsung and Sony Mini-LED TVs?
- It matches or beats them on brightness and dimming zones for the size, but Samsung and Sony sets generally handle off-angle viewing, motion and upscaling better.
- Do I need a soundbar with it?
- Built-in speakers are adequate for everyday TV, but a soundbar or AV receiver gives the bass and scale a 98-inch picture deserves.
- Can it be wall-mounted?
- Yes, but at this size and weight use a heavy-duty mount rated for large TVs and anchored into studs, or a professional installer.
- Does it support Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos?
- Yes, it supports Dolby Vision HDR and Dolby Atmos passthrough, which pairs well with a compatible soundbar or receiver.
- Is a 98-inch TV too big for a normal room?
- Viewing distance matters more than room size. Plan for roughly 9 to 13 feet back so the whole screen fits your field of view comfortably.
