Description
TCL 98C8K Smart TV in Kenya – Massive 98 Inch Centerpiece TV in Kenya
The TCL 98C8K isn’t just a TV, it’s a full cinematic wall.
Built for those who want the absolute best, this 98-inch Premium QD-MiniLED Smart TV blends cutting-edge display tech with pure design elegance.
Whether you’re creating a luxury home theatre or just want the biggest, brightest screen in Kenya, this model takes the crown.
It delivers 4K UHD resolution, a 144Hz native refresh rate, and up to 5000 nits peak brightness, all powered by TCL’s TSR AiPQ Processor.
Everything you watch looks sharper, more vibrant, and incredibly real.

Next-Gen Display Power
The QD-MiniLED display is where the magic happens. It merges the color precision of QLED with the control of Mini LED lighting, creating pixel-level accuracy and extreme contrast. With up to 3840 dimming zones, each part of the screen adjusts independently for deeper blacks and more dazzling highlights.
Imagine watching a night scene, city lights sparkle without glow, while shadows stay pure and defined. This is the level of precision that makes the 98C8K a class above ordinary 4K TVs.
5000 nits Peak Brightness and HDR Support
Thanks to 5000-nit peak brightness and support for Dolby Vision IQ, HDR10+, HDR10, and HLG, the 98C8K ignites visuals with intensity. Whether it’s the sun glinting on metal or a candle flickering in darkness, you’ll see light handled exactly as it should be, detailed, dynamic, and true.
CrystGlow WHVA Panel, Virtually Borderless
TCL’s CrystGlow WHVA panel is the fourth generation of their high-performance VA technology. It pushes native contrast up to 7000:1 while reducing reflections to just 0.5%. Combined with the ZeroBorder™ design, the picture seems to float, no frame, no distractions, just pure immersion.
The wide 40% enhanced viewing angle makes it perfect for larger living rooms or viewing parties where not everyone sits dead center. Every seat gets the same stunning clarity.
TSR AiPQ Processor, Intelligence Behind Every Frame
Inside the 98C8K sits TCL’s TSR AiPQ Processor, a powerful chip that analyzes each pixel in real time. It uses AI to fine-tune sharpness, contrast, and motion, keeping every frame crisp and natural. You’ll notice it instantly, clearer details in faces, more depth in shadows, smoother pans during action scenes.
This processor also powers TCL’s AI ClarityMaster, AI ContrastMaster, AI ColorMaster, and AI MotionMaster features, which work together to make the image lifelike and fluid.
Brilliant Color with QLED Technology
QLED layer of the 98C8K produces over a billion shades of color, covering 97% of the DCI-P3 color gamut. Reds glow richer, greens look more natural, and blues pop without oversaturation. Every hue feels real, balanced, and stable, a major upgrade from traditional LED TVs.
Immersive Audio Tuned by Bang and Olufsen
Sound is just as refined as the picture. Bang and Olufsen has tuned the built-in speakers to create clean, room-filling sound that feels cinematic. Paired with Dolby Atmos and DTS Virtual:X, audio moves around you, giving every movie, concert, or game a 3D sense of space and realism.
Game-Ready Performance
95 inch TCL 98C8K isn’t just a home theatre giant, it’s a gaming beast. With AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, HDMI 2.1 ports, and VRR up to 288Hz, you’ll experience silky-smooth motion and near-zero input lag. Fast-paced scenes stay sharp, with no tearing or stuttering. Add Game Master Mode and a customizable Game Bar, and you have complete control over your settings in seconds.
AI Features and Smart Functionality
This is where TCL’s software really shines. The AI Cinematic Agent adjusts picture and sound to match your content. The AI Art Agent transforms the TV into a digital canvas with access to 100,000+ AI-generated artworks and a built-in Art Gallery for classic masterpieces.
When you’re not watching, switch to Ambient Mode, it turns the screen into a peaceful backdrop with natural sights and sounds. And if you need to work, the AI Office Agent connects your devices so you can manage tasks right from the big screen.
Connectivity and Design
Everything runs on Google TV, giving you seamless access to streaming apps and personalized recommendations. Use Google Assistant for hands-free control, or sync with Alexa if that’s your preference. The TV supports Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, Chromecast, and AirPlay, so sharing content from your phone or laptop is effortless.
The design stays true to TCL’s premium DNA, slim, sleek, and minimal. Despite its enormous size, it’s elegantly proportioned and surprisingly efficient, built to consume less power without losing brilliance.
Why the TCL 98C8K Stands Out
The TCL 98C8K Premium QD-MiniLED Smart TV is a showcase of what’s possible in modern display technology. From its extreme brightness and perfect contrast to its deep AI integration and Bang & Olufsen audio, it redefines what a big-screen TV can be. For Kenyan buyers seeking the ultimate 4K experience, this is the screen that turns your home into a theatre, and your viewing into an event.
