There’s news, and then there’s great news. The news is that TCL recently released the QM7K TV. The great news is that its 98-inch version — if you follow You Asked you might heard about it a few days ago — is already hugely discounted. Just how hugely? Like a lot of things, it sort of depends on who you ask. If you go with TCL’s suggested price of $5,000, it’s $2,200 off, while if you go with Best Buy’s standard price of $4,000, it’s $1,200 off. Either way, this massive TV (with a massive discount) is marked down to $2,800 at the moment.

Go check out this hot TV deal via one of the buttons below, but also be sure to keep reading to get an overview of what we’ve seen and experienced with this 2025 release.

Why you should buy the 98-inch TCL QM7K

If you’ve determined you have room for a 98-inch TV, what makes the QM7K special other than its recent launch? Color and power. Our TCL QM7K review will give you all the details, but this 4K QD-Mini LED TV displays with “spot-on” color accuracy “right out of the box” in Filmmaker Mode that truly doesn’t need to be calibrated to be enjoyed. It’s plenty bright as well, refreshes at 144Hz, and has the recently new (but now expected) automatic low latency gaming mode.

But will it be games that you’ll be using your QM7K for? Our recent ‘You Asked’ episode about 98-inch TVs for sports featured the QM7K heavily. Here’s the key excerpt:

It’s got the features you look for in a premium TV from top to bottom, supporting all the video and audio formats you could ask for like Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos and DTS. And notably for sports, it has excellent SDR brightness and does a great job upscaling low bitrate content, like sports.

This offer that saves you $2,200 off of TCL’s new $5,000 98-inch TV (making it just $2,800) won’t last forever as it’s an introductory offer. So, if you want the TV, be sure to tap one of the buttons below to get it now. Or, for something completely different, check out our listing of the best TVs under $1,000.

For months, reports have suggested that OpenAI’s first hardware product would be a screen-free smart speaker designed to act more like an AI companion. We already knew it could understand its surroundings, be carried around the home, and proactively help users. A new Bloomberg report now gives us a clearer picture of what the device may actually look like.

As per the report, OpenAI’s first gadget will be shaped like a doughnut and measure about the same size as a hockey puck. You will be able to carry it between rooms or leave it nearby on whatever surface is convenient. The device is expected to be on the expensive side, as the company has pondered pricing it around $300 to $400. A release is currently planned for 2027.
