"The biggest challenge this TV poses is fitting it in your home. This thing is gigantic; it's 85.7 inches wide, 49.1 inches tall, and the feet are 68.5 inches apart. If you have a wall big enough to mount it on, then you're all set. However, if you don't, you might find yourself scrambling to find an entertainment center large enough to accommodate this behemoth."
"The latter was me, by the way -- I was the one scrambling. My brothers helped me unbox the TV (which felt impossible since our drop ceilings stopped us from lifting the lid straight up in the air), and after we ripped through all the Styrofoam and plastic wrap, we needed to figure out a place to set it up in our relatively small living room."
"My first thought was to leave it on the ground, but who wants to look down to watch TV? Then we considered ditching our current entertainment center and relocating our 65-inch LG TV to a corner (again, on the ground), but that meant we'd have to rearrange our entire living room. So, we came up with a compromise: we set up two folding catering tables, pushed our couch and loveseat against the wall, and plopped the 98-inch mammoth right in front of our fireplace."
TCL's 98-inch S5 Series emphasizes sheer scale, producing a massive display that demands substantial room and planning. The TV measures 85.7 inches wide, 49.1 inches tall, with feet 68.5 inches apart, making wall mounting the most practical installation. Low ceilings and limited furniture complicate unboxing and placement, often requiring multiple people to lift and unwrap the set. Owners without a suitably large entertainment center may need to improvise supports or rearrange living-room layouts, accepting viewing-angle and layout compromises. The size delivers spectacle but introduces clear logistical and installation challenges.
