Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

Recently, TCL 98Q10G officially met with us at the launch of TCL's new products, and the 98-inch screen made the TV the focus of the audience. Although the 98-inch size is huge, the best viewing distance of 2.5 meters to 3.5 meters makes this TV still suitable for the living rooms and bedrooms of most families. At the same viewing distance, a larger display area can bring a more immersive viewing experience, even if multiple people watch at the same time, there will be no sense of embarrassment.

With the help of larger body size, TCL 98Q10G has the strength to "block" a wall, in addition to providing users with immersion when watching movies, and playing screensavers on TV, it can also play a role in decorating the living room, which is also the advantage of large-size televisions.

Although I had made full psychological preparations before the evaluation of TCL 98Q10G, when I really saw its 2m high 1.2m body, I was startled by it, and I couldn't help but look forward to its viewing effect.

In terms of hardware, TCL 98Q10G has Mini LED, 672 gold zone, 1600nits peak brightness, and full-channel 120Hz refresh rate. Behind these parameters, TCL 98Q10G also brings us refractive microlenses, ahe + wide-angle super display screen and micron dot matrix light control technology.

The exterior design TCL 98Q10G adopts a comprehensive metal screen design. Against the large screen, it is difficult to feel the existence of the frame from a distance. In terms of material, the frame of TCL 98Q10G is made of metal and is endowed with black wire drawing surface treatment technology to further enhance the texture of the whole machine.

The middle protruding part at the bottom of the screen is provided with an infrared receiver and a physical button, and the protruding part is printed with TCL Logo.

TCL 98Q10G supports seat mounting and mounting, and the seat mounting base is cylindrical with wide spacing, almost the same length as the fuselage. The back is made of pure black backplane, and the upper part of the backplane is specially equipped with two horizontal reinforcement, which makes the structure of the fuselage more stable. The middle position of the lower part of the backplane is the 20W super-stroke subwoofer of Anqiao Home Theater.

The power supply of the fuselage and the extended interface area are placed on both sides of the edge of the backplane to facilitate the insertion and unplugging of HDMI and U disk. Each interface in the extended interface area is marked with interface types and specifications in detail, including HDMI 2.1 × 3, USB 2.0 × 2, AV input × 1, network LAN × 1, RF antenna input × 1, digital audio output × 1.

One of the three HDMI 2.1interfaces is full of HDMI 2.1s, which supports up to 48Gb / S bandwidth and 4K 120Hz signal input.

As for the remote control, the TCL 98Q10G remote control is more versatile, even equipped with three side buttons like a mobile phone. In addition, three one-button direct keys are added, which can customize the button functions in the settings, such as muting, screenshot or opening the specified App, and the remote control has its own microphone to support far-field voice conversation and dialect recognition.

In terms of screen light control screen backlight technology, TCL 98Q10G uses the same Mini LED backlight technology as other Q10G models, and upgrades the number of backlight zones and lens types to further enhance the picture quality. As we all know, Mini LED is the upgrade of LED display technology. Mini LED abandons the area light source of traditional LED technology and uses point light instead. Although it is an LCD TV in essence, it has more outstanding local light control ability through the micron LED structure, so Mini LED has a better display performance than LED in display effect, dynamic range and color restoration.

However, in the display comparison of Mini LED series televisions, there is another key factor that determines the picture quality, that is, light control partitions. Under the same screen size, the more Mini LED light control partitions are, the more accurate the local color performance is and the more natural the color transition is. In terms of the number of light control zones, TCL 98Q10G has a total of 672 light control zones, and each light control area can adjust the brightness separately without being disturbed by the surrounding picture, thus showing a more hierarchical color and more intense contrast. The following is the actual picture of TCL 98Q10G controlling black.

From the actual shot of the camera above, we can see that the contrast of the TCL 98Q10G screen is very excellent. In addition to local luminous objects, the black background of the screen is completely integrated with the darkness of the living room, once close to OLED's "pure black" display, watching cartoon characters up close, the details of the characters are clear, and there is no halo overflow on the edge of the characters.

Excellent halo control performance is naturally inseparable from TCL 98Q10G's microlens "light control beacon" technology, which officials claim can effectively reduce light loss in the panel, thus making the picture more sharp and transparent.

Viewing experience TCL 98Q10G hardware parameters have a 4K resolution, 1.07 billion color, 1600nits peak brightness, 1600000 120Hz 1 dynamic contrast, while supporting full-channel 120Hz refresh rate display.

According to the results of the Esseli color test, the TCL 98Q10G covers 92.7% DCI-P3 (uv'), and the average △ E is 1.22.

In the setting-image adjustment menu, TV has a very comprehensive personalized adjustment of color, not only reserving many sets of color modes such as movie, soft, bright, HDR enhancement, but also fine-tuning white balance and RGB color.

Then, we simply test the brightness of the TCL 98Q10G screen, compared with the maximum brightness of the ordinary Mini LED 1000nits, the peak brightness of TCL 98Q10G 1600nits is very strong, which also makes this screen have the ability of XDR dynamic range display. According to the test results, under a 25% pure white screen, the maximum brightness of the screen can be above 1600nit, and the brightness of the full screen can be maintained above 800nit in real time when playing daily video sources. The following is a TV HDR video picture recorded by the camera.

From the picture recorded by the camera, we can see that the color of the picture is strong, the highlight details are sharp and clear, and when watching on the scene, the food appears on the screen. With a large 98-inch screen, the viewing experience is quite shocking.

It can also be seen from the school color map that the nine colors have clear boundaries and rich colors, and there is no color deviation.

In terms of gray scale display, TCL 98Q10G distinguishes clearly between black and white, and the color difference between the color blocks is obvious. In addition, due to the influence of camera tolerance, the naked eye perception is obviously better than the photo.

In the chromosphere diagram in the 4K test chart, the colors of the 9 balls were uniform and soft, and there was no banded abrupt change in hierarchy and color ring.

4K resolution test, TCL 98Q10G performance is easier, even if the smallest text can still be clearly displayed, all the text is not offset, blurred. But after all, it is the 4K resolution under the 98-inch screen, so you can still see some of the text aliasing when watching TV up close, but considering the screen size and the distance habit when watching TV, daily use will not feel the screen graininess.

The following is a live shot of TCL 98Q10G 4K video:

In the daily use of TCL 98Q10G, in addition to the screen fineness left a deep impression on me, full-channel 120Hz high brush, full of blood version of HDMI 2.1also makes me feel more happy. This makes the performance of the game console no longer restricted by interface specifications, whether it's leisure for two or single competition, and the 98-inch + HDR game immersion is unmatched by a normal-sized TV or projector. For example, in the "F1 2022" game, the flashing scenery by the side of the road and the rise of smoke during the crash feel real, and the strong sense of reality can not be separated from the fine picture, but also the experience improvement brought by the high brush.

Sound quality part, TCL 98Q10G upgraded to 2.1 channel Anqiao Home Theater Audio, there are seven independent speakers inside the body, the total power is 50W, one of which is a 20W super-stroke subwoofer, laying the foundation for the subwoofer diving ability.

Because the fuselage is more than two meters, it provides a natural physical advantage for the left and right dual-channel sound, the left and right channel has a good sense of orientation, and the individual feels the voice is full and clear. The following is the actual recording of TCL 98Q10G. The recording device is iPhone. The recording effect is for reference only.

It is worth mentioning that TCL 98Q10G also has Dolby Atmos and IMAX Enhanced cinema-level professional certification, which can adjust Dolby panoramic sound and Dolby horizon in the setting.

In terms of sound, TCL 98Q10G is also equipped with global AI sound field technology, which can pick up the sound reflected by the TV, identify the spatial structure of the home, and then match the appropriate sound field effect according to the scene, thus making the TV sound more real and natural. The operation mode of this function is also very simple, just adjust the relevant options in the setting, one-click operation.

The interactive system with excellent system interaction must be inseparable from the strong hardware support. TCL 98Q10G uses 4G memory + 128G memory in hardware, and the chip continues to use Q10G series of accolade chip M1, on the one hand, to provide support for interface fluency, on the other hand, to provide help in the original color picture quality, pixel reconstruction and the whole 120Hz high brush, generally speaking, it is the dual improvement of clarity and fluency. 128G storage in the TV is still relatively rare, and the larger capacity can also ensure that there is enough space to download App or store precious family albums in the long-term use in the future.

TCL 98Q10G starts without advertising, the system loads quickly, and the content of the home page is the common content waterfall stream of TV OS + personalized recommendation. The content section is comprehensive and rich in film and television resources. in addition, the system also provides children's model and old age model, regardless of any age group can quickly and accurately find the appropriate resource plate and content.

In the aspect of speech recognition, TCL 98Q10G supports the dual recognition mode of far-field voice + remote control voice control, which ensures that the voice assistant can be awakened anytime and anywhere, and the longest recognition distance of long-distance voice control can be up to 12m. After practical testing, taking the CTOnews.com 130m ²home evaluation site as an example, the living room, balcony, kitchen and bedroom across a load-bearing wall can quickly and accurately wake up the voice assistant.

Speech recognition supports a variety of dialect recognition, recognition accuracy, recognition speed, response speed are very fast, especially the dialect recognition ability of TCL 98Q10G, the author, as a native of Shandong, has a certain Shandong accent, TCL 98Q10G can accurately identify and push the relevant content, so in a few days of use, I am also used to quickly search what I want to see through voice assistant.

The speech recognition result can be transferred to the third-party App, and the resources not yet searched in the system can be directly redirected to the third-party App for download.

In the game section, through the cooperation between TCL 98Q10G and Tencent Start Cloud games, TV users can directly play 3A masterpieces on TV, such as "final Fantasy" and "NBA 2K".

If there is no game console, you can also directly set the phone to the handle mode to operate. TCL 98Q10G added WeChat Mini Programs Fast Connect TV function, eliminating the need to download third-party App, as long as the phone and TV remain under the same Wi-Fi network, and Wechat scan the code to make the phone change the handle in a second. After a few days of experience, it is difficult to sense the delay in the interconnection between mobile phone and TV, and there has never been a disconnection or interruption between skill release and character operation.

To sum up, when a 98-inch Mini LED giant screen TV is in front of you, it is no less shocking than walking into the cinema for the first time, but the happiness of being alone is not like that of everyone. When you face the giant screen with your family, you can only enjoy it as you please. Despite the advantages of screen size, full-channel 120Hz refresh rate, 672 Mini LED light control zones, as high as the peak brightness of 1600nits, a number of hardware qualities also support the flagship identity of TCL 98Q10G.
