Condition: New

Hisense 98U7H is now in stock at Mascom International for KSh 273,000, brand new and sealed. This 98-inch 4K ULED television pairs a quantum dot colour layer with a local dimming backlight, a 120Hz native refresh rate, Dolby Vision and HDR10+ support, Dolby Atmos sound and the VIDAA smart platform. Its panel spreads 3840 x 2160 pixels, roughly 8.3 million of them, across a diagonal of almost two and a half metres. You can see the Hisense 98U7H running at our store on the First Floor, Room 4, Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Built for households, hotels and offices that have outgrown a 75-inch or 85-inch screen, the Hisense 98U7H turns one wall into the focal point of the room. Families in Karen, Runda and Kileleshwa use a screen this size for Premier League weekends and film nights, without a projector's washed-out daytime picture or fan noise. Sports lounges and restaurants gain a display that customers can follow from the back of the room. Offices get a presentation screen big enough that everyone around a long table reads the same slide clearly.
Unlike traditional electronics retailers in Kenya, Mascom International lets you stand in front of the Hisense 98U7H and judge the picture before you pay. It sits KSh 87,000 below the Hisense 100Q7Q, yet a 100-inch panel is only about 4 percent larger by area than this 98-inch one. Buyers throughout Kenya tell us the size is what they notice first, and the dark, detailed night scenes are what keep them watching. Delivery is pay-on-arrival to all 47 counties, and our team advises on wall brackets and power protection before you order. The Hisense 98U7H is best viewed from about four metres, so measure your room before ordering.
Common Questions About the Hisense 98U7H
Is the Hisense 98U7H worth KSh 273,000 in Kenya?
Yes, if your room is large enough, because the Hisense 98U7H costs about KSh 2,786 per diagonal inch at Mascom International. That is well below the KSh 3,600 per inch of the Hisense 100Q7Q, for a screen only slightly smaller. Spread over two years, the price works out to about KSh 374 a day, and over five years of family use it falls to roughly KSh 150. The nearest alternative at this size is a projector, which struggles in a bright Nairobi sitting room during the day.
How does the Hisense 98U7H compare with the 100-inch Hisense models?
The Hisense 98U7H saves you KSh 87,000 against the Hisense 100Q7Q and KSh 103,000 against the 100U7Q Real Madrid edition. Two extra inches add only about 4 percent more screen area, a gap few viewers notice from the sofa. The 100-inch models come from Hisense's more recent ranges, so choose one if you want the latest generation and the budget allows. Choose the Hisense 98U7H if you want near-identical size and would rather put the savings toward a soundbar and a quality wall bracket.
Should I buy the Hisense 98U7H or an 85-inch Hisense instead?
The Hisense 98U7H gives you about 33 percent more screen area than an 85-inch set, for KSh 75,500 more than the Hisense 85Q6QKEN at KSh 197,500. The 85A6QKEN, at KSh 185,000, suits buyers who mainly need a large 4K screen for news, streaming and sport. The jump to 98 inches matters most where you sit more than three metres from the wall. In a smaller sitting room, an 85-inch model already fills your field of view, and the extra spend buys you less.
Will the Hisense 98U7H cope with power cuts and voltage swings in Kenya?
The Hisense 98U7H handles normal outages like any modern TV, but a quality surge protector or voltage stabiliser is strongly advised for a set this valuable. Kenya Power interruptions often end with a spike when supply returns, and that spike is what damages power boards. Switch the TV off at the wall during long outages and reconnect once supply settles. Mascom International stocks UPS units and surge protection, and our team can recommend the right rating for your home.
Which streaming apps run on the Hisense 98U7H?
The Hisense 98U7H runs VIDAA, Hisense's own smart platform, with Netflix, YouTube and Prime Video available from its app store. VIDAA starts quickly and keeps the home screen simple, which suits older relatives and hotel guests alike. It does not include the Google Play Store, so a few niche apps may be missing. If you need a specific app, ask us on WhatsApp first, or add a streaming stick through an HDMI port. A fibre plan from Safaricom Home Fibre or Zuku gives 4K streams steady bandwidth.
Is the Hisense 98U7H good for PS5 and Xbox gaming?
Yes, the Hisense 98U7H refreshes at 120Hz natively, so a PS5 or Xbox Series X can run supported games at up to 120 frames per second. Game Mode cuts input lag, and auto low latency mode switches it on when the console starts. Variable refresh rate keeps motion smooth when a game's frame rate dips. On a 98-inch screen, racing games and EA Sports FC feel close to an arcade setup. Mascom International also stocks the PS5 if you want to buy both together.
How much space does the Hisense 98U7H need, and where should I sit?
The Hisense 98U7H picture area alone measures about 217 cm wide and 122 cm tall, so plan for a wall at least 2.3 metres across. For 4K viewing, sit roughly 2.5 to 3.7 metres away, which is one to one and a half times the diagonal. Check that your doorway, staircase and lift can take a carton this size before delivery day. Two people should always lift and mount it, and a wall bracket rated for 98-inch screens is essential.
Do you need a soundbar with the Hisense 98U7H?
The Hisense 98U7H decodes Dolby Atmos through its built-in speakers, which are clear enough for news, dialogue and casual viewing. A screen this large raises expectations of cinema sound, however, and slim TV speakers cannot fill a big room with deep bass. For match days and films, connect a soundbar through the eARC HDMI port so full Atmos audio passes through. Mascom International stocks soundbars you can hear alongside the TV at our Kimathi Street store before choosing.
Who should buy the Hisense 98U7H, and who should skip it?
Buy the Hisense 98U7H if you have a large sitting room, hotel lounge, sports bar or boardroom where viewers sit three metres or more from the wall. Hospitality managers in Naivasha and Diani and boardrooms across Upper Hill fit this profile well. Skip it if your room is under about 2.5 metres deep, because the screen will overwhelm the space. In that case the Hisense 75U7Q PRO at KSh 165,000 is the better fit, and it leaves KSh 108,000 in your pocket.
