Huge TVs usually come with a huge price tag. Even Onn’s 98-inch budget model, for example, typically sells for $2,999. Fortunately, that exact model is about to hit 50% off at Walmart during the retailer’s Holiday Deals sale, which kicks off Oct. 9 (or Oct. 8 in early access for Walmart Plus members).
At the Onn TV’s new sale price of $1,498 for 98 inches of TV, your biggest challenge might simply be deciding where to put such a large panel in your home.
What do you have to know about the TV? Onn’s 4K (2160p) UHD resolution should produce lifelike texture and detail, ensuring that every image on the screen pops with vibrant colors and sharp edges. Combined with HDR10 technology, the 98-inch Onn 4K provides enhanced contrast and color accuracy for realistic and visually striking picture quality. You shouldn’t have trouble discerning details from the foreground and background.
Setting up the physical TV will be one thing, but setting up the software itself should be fairly straightforward, thanks to the integrated Roku platform, which provides access to thousands of channels and apps. Out of the box, you can wirelessly stream a half-million movies and TV episodes conveniently presented through your own customizable home screen.

The included remote features dedicated buttons for Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+. However, you can also use the Roku mobile app on your smartphone to browse channels, which includes voice control.
The Onn 4K’s built-in Wi-Fi allows you to connect to your smart home network, too, working with Apple Home, Amazon Alexa, and Google Home. It also ensures you can stream content without any lag or buffering issues. If there was anything that I had to ding the TV for, it would be the mere 60hz refresh rate, which won’t give you as smooth visuals when it comes to intense gaming and fast-paced sports action as flagship Mini-LED or OLED TVs.
Four HDMI ports on the side of the TV ensure ample options for connecting gaming consoles, Blu-ray players, and soundbars. The set also has one USB, a LAN port, and coaxial and optical connections.

The TV’s sleek design and slim bezels give it a modern aesthetic that should suit any living space, and its wide viewing angles ensure that everyone in the room can see all the onscreen action clearly. Of course, the sheer size of the Onn 4K 98-inch TV will require a substantial wall or dedicated stand in your viewing area, and you won’t want your seating arrangement to be too close to this humongous screen.
Anytime you can elevate your viewing experience with a colossal, feature-rich TV for under $1,500, it’s worth consideration. That’s why the Onn 98-inch 4K UHD Roku TV is a solid investment that won’t disappoint for how much you’re paying for it.
