Common questions about this product, answered.
Q.Is the Samsung 98DU9000 good for gaming with a PS5 or Xbox Series X?
A.Yes, it is well-suited to console gaming. Per Samsung's spec sheet, all 3 HDMI ports are HDMI 2.1 and accept 4K 120Hz input, plus VRR, FreeSync Premium and Auto Game Mode (ALLM) to cut input lag automatically. The panel is 60Hz native, lifted to Motion Xcelerator 120Hz, so PS5/Xbox Series X 4K/120 titles run smoothly on the 98-inch screen. Note it's a Crystal UHD set, not Neo QLED, so HDR peak brightness is modest, but its gaming connectivity is genuinely strong. — PriceJive
Q.Which HDR formats does it support? Does it have Dolby Vision?
A.It does NOT support Dolby Vision. Like all Samsung TVs, the 98DU9000 uses HDR10 and HDR10+ (plus HLG for broadcast HDR), and includes Filmmaker Mode. HDR10+ is dynamic, adjusting brightness scene-by-scene, and is supported by Amazon Prime Video; most streaming apps fall back to standard HDR10. Because it's an entry Crystal UHD panel rather than Neo QLED, peak brightness is limited, so HDR looks good but not as punchy as premium Samsung sets (per Samsung spec sheet). — PriceJive
Q.Is it a smart TV, and which apps does it have?
A.Yes, it's a full smart TV running Samsung's Tizen OS with the Smart Hub app store. You get the major streaming apps out of the box including Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video, YouTube and Showmax, plus Samsung TV Plus free channels. It has built-in Wi-Fi (Wi-Fi 5) and Bluetooth 5.2, and supports cloud gaming via Xbox Game Pass through the Gaming Hub with no console needed. Voice assistants (Bixby) and AirPlay sharing are included (per Samsung spec sheet). — PriceJive
Q.What wall bracket fits the 98DU9000, and how heavy is it?
A.The 98DU9000 uses a 600 x 400 mm VESA pattern, so buy a bracket rated for that and for its weight of roughly 52kg (set without stand). At 98 inches and over 2.1m wide, two-person handling or professional installation is strongly advised. Confirm the exact VESA pattern and screw size on the manual or the TV's rear sticker before buying brackets. — PriceJive
