Amazon Renewed Tv Review
Our verdict
A massive 98-inch Samsung QLED sold as Amazon Renewed, giving home theater buyers a shot at flagship screen real estate at a significant discount. The Tizen platform and 120 Hz panel are genuine strengths, but with only 3 reviews and zero monthly sales data, buyers should weigh the limited feedback pool carefully.

Popularity1.2/5
3 owner reviews, fewer than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other LED, QLED and OLED TVs plus TV mounts, streaming media players, antennas, cables and satellite gear we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
This renewed Samsung QLED lands at 98 inches with a 4K UHD QLED panel and a 120 Hz native refresh rate. That combination puts fast motion, sports, and gaming content in a strong position. The Graphite Black finish is understated for a TV this large, and at roughly 119 lb the installation will need two people and a sturdy wall mount rated for the weight.
Tizen handles the smart platform duties, which means a clean, well-supported interface with access to streaming apps, Samsung's ambient mode, and voice assistants. Connectivity covers Bluetooth, Ethernet, HDMI, USB, and Wi-Fi, so wired and wireless setups are both on the table. HDR format details are not listed in the available specs, so confirm those directly with the seller before buying if HDR10 Plus or Dolby Vision matters to your setup.
The renewed designation means it passed Amazon's inspection process and carries a 90-day minimum guarantee, but the product currently has just 3 ratings and no reported monthly purchase volume. That thin feedback record makes it harder to judge consistent quality across fulfilled units. The $1,843 price is real money even for a 98-inch screen, so compare it against entry-level new 98-inch options before committing.
Pros
- Near-100-inch screen size is genuinely cinematic in large rooms
- 120 Hz refresh rate handles sports and gaming motion smoothly
- Tizen smart platform is mature and well-supported with regular updates
- Broad connectivity including Ethernet, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, HDMI and USB
Cons
- Only 3 reviews, making it very hard to judge unit-to-unit consistency
- HDR format not specified in listing, adding a spec uncertainty
- At 119 lb, installation is a two-person job with specific mount requirements
Performance notes
The 98-inch QLED panel at 4K UHD delivers high pixel density for the size. A 120 Hz refresh rate is confirmed, which reduces motion blur on fast content compared to 60 Hz panels. Connectivity is comprehensive: Bluetooth, Ethernet, HDMI, USB, and Wi-Fi are all present. Weight is 118.6 lb, so plan wall-mount hardware rated well above that figure.
What buyers say
With a 5.0 rating across 3 reviews the score looks perfect, but 3 ratings is too small a sample to draw conclusions. There is no reported bought-last-month data, so this unit appears to be a low-volume or recently listed product. Buyers willing to do their own due diligence on the renewed condition could find good value here.

Frequently asked questions
Is a renewed Samsung TV as reliable as a new one?
Amazon Renewed products go through a supplier inspection and must meet basic functional standards, and they come with a 90-day minimum guarantee. That said, renewed units can vary, and a thin review count makes it harder to judge consistency. Reading the seller's specific condition notes and the return policy before buying is the safest approach.
What kind of wall mount does a 98-inch, 119-lb TV need?
You need a fixed or full-motion mount rated for at least 130 lb to give yourself a safety margin. Make sure you locate wall studs or use a proper metal backing plate rated for the load. The VESA pattern for this specific unit is not listed in the specs, so confirm it with the seller or check Samsung's support page before ordering a mount.
Does the Tizen smart platform support major streaming services?
Yes, Tizen supports Netflix, Prime Video, Disney Plus, Hulu, YouTube, and most other major services natively. Samsung also keeps Tizen updated with new app additions. You can also connect external devices via HDMI if a particular app is missing from the built-in store.
