Both the Super Bowl and the Winter Olympics kick off this weekend, making it a great time to upgrade your home theater or living room smart TV. Right now at Best Buy, you can snag the 98-inch Hisense QD5 for just $900 -- a $1,400 discount. This means you can catch every pass, tackle, and triple axle on a cinema-sized screen for less than a high-end OLED model.

With all that screen real estate, the Hisense QD5 still delivers a clean, crisp picture with bold colors, deep contrast, and enhanced detail. Support for Dolby Vision HDR provides enhanced upscaling of non-4K content, so everything from classic sports highlight reels to modern blockbuster movies looks their best. Dolby Atmos compatibility delivers virtual surround sound for a more immersive experience, while built-in voice controls let you use your new TV hands-free.

The 144Hz refresh rate is perfect for live sports, action movies, and video games, giving you smoother, more fluid action so you never miss a beat with your favorite media and broadcasts. Console gamers can also take advantage of the integrated AMD FreeSync Premium VRR technology to prevent screen tearing and stuttering during online matches or offline solo play. 

The Hisense QD5 also supports screen sharing via AirPlay and Google Cast, offering more ways to share videos, photos, and music with your friends and family.   

How I rated this deal 

A 60% discount on a 98-inch TV is a serious deal, especially with the Super Bowl and Winter Olympics coming up. This cinema-sized screen delivers excellent picture and audio with a 144Hz refresh rate, so you never miss a moment of the action. 

It also supports Dolby Atmos virtual surround sound for a more immersive experience, as well as support for AirPlay and Bluetooth connectivity for more ways to keep friends and family entertained all year long. That's why I gave this deal a 5/5 Editor's rating.
