Like most of the other best Samsung TVs, the new 98-inch QN900C has Samsung's Gaming Hub and Motion Xcelerator Pro. That delivers 4K at up to 120Hz, rising to 144Hz with compatible PCs. There's also support for AMD FreeSync Premium Pro as well as NVIDIA G-Sync like most of the best gaming TVs have.

Projector beating is a bold claim! I doubt I'll ever get a big TV again. The idea of trying to move a 98" TV up the stairs seems crazy. I've got my 120" retractable projection screen and I'm happy.

What kind of projector do you have?

Optoma GT1090HDR

I'm pretty happy with it, although it doesn't do 4k. But, it's super bright at 4200 lumens.

Thehookup on youtube does tons of indepth projector/screen testing and reviews. Great channel if youre in the market.

Projectors certainly have their limitations, but I really like that mine just disappears into the ceiling when I’m not using it instead of taking up my entire wall.

I just put an 85" in my basement. That thing is annoying enough that it can stay with the house if/when I move. A 98" TV seems like it would be impossible to get down the same flight of stairs. If I upgrade again in this house it will 100% be a projector.
