TCL 98Q7C-UK
The TCL 98C7K-UK and TCL 98Q7C-UK are two premium 98-inch QD-Mini LED TVs built for large-screen home cinema and high-performance gaming. Both models share flagship-level features including 4K resolution, Dolby Vision IQ, Bang & Olufsen 6.2.2 sound system, 2048 local dimming zones, Google TV, and HDMI 2.1 gaming support with VRR and ALLM. The biggest difference comes down to motion handling and connectivity. The 98Q7C-UK offers a native 144Hz motion rate and additional USB connectivity, making it slightly more appealing for competitive gamers and power users, while the 98C7K-UK still delivers an outstanding cinematic experience for movies and streaming.
Verdict
If you want the best gaming-focused experience with smoother high-refresh gameplay and more flexible connectivity, the TCL 98Q7C-UK is the stronger choice. Its 144Hz motion rate gives it a slight edge for next-gen console and PC gaming. However, the TCL 98C7K-UK remains an excellent premium TV for home theater users who prioritize cinematic visuals, Dolby Vision IQ, and immersive sound at potentially better value depending on pricing.
