Thank you for this wonderful comparison. I'll definitely get the QM8.

Great comparison! Thanks for this, was anxiously waiting for you to do this matchup. I think I'll go with the QM8 but they are both so well matched tbh. Could go with either and be happy for most people.

Steve, I’ve gotta say I’ve been watching your reviews for awhile now and you do a fantastic job. I have seen other reviews on KZfaq and yours by far are top notch. Love your format and the way you explain things. Keep up the good work.

Really helpful review. Loving that TCL picture.

Great video as usual, tough choice between the two. I like that the Hisense has 3.0 tuner for over the air and that you have more control over the settings. Thank you for the comparison.

I’ve been pouring over KZfaq TV reviews this week and have to say I like yours best! Thoroughly informative and spoken in a way that even viewers new to todays TVs can understand. Great work, thanks! I’ve seen several reviewers indicate that their TCL developed an area of black lines, on the bottom of the right screen. Your reviews have convinced me that I still want a 65 inch qm8.Thanks again!

Thanks for putting this video together, it is super informative. Doing my research now looking for a new TV, and this video cleared some things up for me with these two TVs.

This is the review I have been waiting for a while! Thank you for work and content. Very detailed and informative reviews. I personally like the Picture quality of the TCL QM8 over U8K but I agree with your assessment; they are both very impressive but are designed for different end users. IMO, QM8 is more for Movies, HDR/Dobly Vision Content as the U8K is aiming to be the best miniLED gaming TV without compromising. Which inadvertently also targets the gaming monitor community. I own the 65U8G in the living room, the TCL 55R646 for the bedroom, and 48LGC3 evo for my office/game room, I’m thinking I can hold off for next year’s competition to upgrade to a 75” for the living room! I hope your channel grows exponentially.

Wow Steve!!! You have been pumping out the videos!! Keep up the good work!! Very useful videos for the consumers to make the choices in such a difficult market.

Nice comparison Steve!! This is what the consumers need need to see!!

Hey man. I just wanted to say I really appreciated your review. You broke down all the features pretty quickly and gave a very good, fair comparison. I’ll keep watching your channel. Nice work.

Thanks for the great info on both of these t.v. s, it is appreciated

Excellent review Steve. You have a new subscriber 👍 Thank you

Nicely done Steve.Thanks a bunch for all the hard work! Fun to see affordable options looking so good! Possibly U8k vs U8h next?

mister steve sir you are really great at what you do here thanks for the compartison....could you make one for ULED X

Thank you sir going with the QM8

Thanks Steve. Great comparison video. I am thinking I may have to have eyes on both TVs eventually. 👍

Just mounted my 75 inch TCL QM8 to my wall. Took me all day, but it's AMAZING!

Thanks Tech Steve for spending time on the audio which is usually past over in other reviews.

Stellar work as usual!

Always good stuff on the channel been watching all week keep the videos going the comparison content is great everyone like a good head to head comparison thanks

Keep up the good work 👏👏👏

Great video. I seriously want them both! One for my bedroom and one for my living room. Lol. Which one handles blooming better? When “upscaling” which one makes the image look smoother?

very, very GOOD VIDEO, WELL EXPLAINED

I love your accent. I just love it. It's a 10-bit, VRR-enabled, 120hz no blooming accent in TV terms.

Hi Steve… great comparisons. Thank you..

thanks Steve.keep it coming. I'm waiting for your review of Sony XR x90L.

Great job Steve...great job!

Great work Steve, QM8 the best lcd value this year

Nice review keep up the good work Tech Steve

I checked out your review and comparison videos of the Hisense U8K, and I’m impressed. Your assessments are very detailed and informative. I especially appreciated your take on the gaming features, something that a lot of reviewers gloss over, or ignore altogether. I’m looking for a replacement for my 55” TCL R646, which I use as a pc monitor, as well as tv viewing. I really wish that TCL had made a 55” version of the QM8. So it looks as if the U8K may be my choice, especially as it has much better gaming features, and a lot more local dimming zones. Btw, subbed! 👍🏾

Thank you very much for doing this comparison! Previously, I was set on going with the Hisense U8K. However, after seeing the picture quality of the two next to each other... I've changed my mind. I'm going with the TCL

Your work has earned you s new sub. Keep up the good work. Would love to see s segment where you only focus on picture settings for each mode (hdr, dolby, sports, etc)

Really liked that you display technology VA IPS for all sizes at the beginning and the technical details at first that was really good intro. I was left wondering the significance of 10 bit panel over 8 bit FRC.

Man! this actually is a pretty close call... In my opinion the TCL edges out the U8K this year in picture quality overall, BUT I like having control over my settings and that's what makes it tuff 🤷‍♂️ If I had to choose one though uggghhh idk 😂

Awesome video. 🔥👍 Can't wait to get my hands on a U8k. The TCL looks good too, but the Xbox looks a little bit better on the Hisense imo. Also, it seems, I wouldn't be needing a soundbar with the U8k as well. 🎶👍

Man i was more interested in the qm8 before this, but the settings and the sound system of the hisense is really selling me. Thank you for the great comparison. Earned my subscription

Great comparison! I’d almost definitely say QM8 for movies and shows, U8K for gaming, but not having local dimming control or a ATSC 3.0 tuner is just so lame. It still amazing to me how no TV has it all. Every TV is missing one or two things that another one has. If Samsung got Dolby Vision they would take the market. If Sony got good with gaming and lowered their prices a bit they would take the market. LG has come as close as you can get for having it all for performance and value but only IF you’re going OLED, and would be even better if they moved off of that outdated remote.

I went with the QM8 and I love it. Having a ps5, Xbox and soundbar, the dedicated earc port was a necessity for me.

IS VERY HARD to choice between these 2, i bought 75U8H last year & absolutely LOOOVIN it, wanna get 85 inch of Hinsens U8K this year , Bought now i'm confuse , BUT i like that darker richer color tones on Hisense, like that grass filed u showed .is very hard between 2 ...but getting one on blk Friday to get the BEST LOW price in either one , so have plenty time to choice thanks✌✌

Tech Steve is an industry staple 👏👏

Having an epic struggle on which 85" TV to get...The QM8 or the U8K. Just waiting on availability and pricing from Best Buy. Any info on when the U8K will be available at Best Buy and what the price will be? I'm assuming it will be more than the QM8 currently at $2,200 so is it worth it to spend more on the U8K??

I bought a Hisense U8K 75" TV about 2 weeks ago. Last week, the TV received an update that took about 30 minutes to load and install. On my 3 previous TVs, updates took between 2 and 5 minutes. Towards the end of the update on the Hisense, we were asked to close it and open it again to complete the update. After this huge update, I noticed that the TV had a better picture and more localized sound. I really like this TV. It's easy to set up. I suggest you wait for this update before testing the U8K. It would give future and current users a better idea of the quality of this TV. Thank you for your hard work! ! !

Hello great review..which one do you think is better in a brighter room?

Ty for the review ! I’m leaning qm8 but am also considering the q7 and want a comparison of these two. Important things for me are affordability, 120hz, hdr and very good brightness and blacks without being oled. I’ve always liked TCL over the years and think I’m going to stick with them. I’m replacing a 6-7 year old Sony 75” that I bought used for $2500 about 5 years ago. I like the value one can get right now but don’t want to overdo the spend which puts me between q7 and qm8. This is a streaming workhorse with a little Xbox series x play. Also I’m hooked into a cheap Sony STR-DH590 receiver 5.1 with a 3.1 setup using KEF left center and right and a klipsch sub. Anyway thanks for the review!!

Hello fellow Steve… do you think the 75” IPS-ADS panel will perform significantly different than the 65” VA panel U8K panel that you tested in a separate video and compared to the qm8 in this video?

Thanks for this review. I'm looking for a reasonably priced TV to put in my bedroom (50"-58"). I won't be doing any gaming and wondered which you'd recommend. Also, do you know of any wall mounts you'd recommend that had 2 shelves to be able to hold cable box and JBL 5.0 sound bar? Thanks

Thank you, I love you and follow you from Iraq 🇮🇶🧡

Take this Sub Steve. 💪🏾

Great review..thanks..now I've decided..

Hi Steve, another honest "in your face" true comparison as always. I'm highly anticipating your review and comparison of the ULED X that's coming out soon. Not sure if you've seen it's credentials on paper but it should be a giant killer based on all accounts. Any proposed release dates on this model ?

Hello Steve. I noticed that at the end of your Hisense to the TCL comparison, where it shows the picture of a city, you had the camera closer to the TCL making the Hisense picture look worse due the angle. To me that was not a fair comparison for picture. I would like to see both on front view, side by side to make a decision which one offer the best picture for my taste.

The number of local dimming zones you've stated for the 65" TCL may be incorrect. TCL doesn't specify how many each size TV has. They just say "up to" 2300, which depends on size. It stands to reason that the 65" has less than 2300 zones. According to rtings the 65" is believed to have 1080 local dimming zones. If that's true, then it's still more than the Hisense 1008 zones but not drastically.

I purchased the QM8 last week and have been following you on your comparisons against the QM8 and I am satisfied with my decision, I did purchase the U8H for my bedroom and the 75in QM8 for living room. After seeing this video I am satisfied with my purchases Thanks Steve

Steve, please do a comparison between the TCL QM8 and TCL c845. Both being Mini LED TV's. Thanks

3.o next gen tips it for me on the hisense. Good ones cost around 200dollars. plus you have another box cluttering up.

Great comparison. I want to point out a few things though. The TCL’s dimming zones are controlled by the local contrast setting which you will find under the brightness settings. If you want to have access to all the settings while gaming on the TCL you will have to turn off gaming mode. You will still have access to HDR, VRR and ALLM and the picture mode won’t be stuck on gaming mode you can change it to whatever you like.

That was a great comparison of two great TVs. I pick the TCL QM8. New subscriber! Thanks Tech Steve!

Excellent Review sir! I was actually out looking for a 65" TV for my Bar/Lounge area of my home. My criteria: Overall solid PQ, mostly in a darker environment, although there are windows in there. Sound Quality was a BIG factor as I do not want to use a soundbar as I am hanging it and want to limit extra mounting and additional peripherals and Best Bang for my Buck. Initially a VERY helpful and knowledgeable salesman at Best Buy (who ironically is from Japan and Sony certified), when I gave him my criteria, showed me the TCL. It was very impressive! In fact, I was prepared to buy it. Unfortunately they had none new in box for sale. Not even for ordering online. A testimony to the popularity of this TV. I need the TV now for a big NEW YEARS EVE party we are hosting at my home. So at the latest, would be 2 days from now. He then said, you know what, we have a really nice Hisense that is super comparable. Although they were not side by side, when I watched content on the U8K, my eyes were just as impressed and I have really good vision without need for glasses. Although we did not test out the sound quality, on paper, the U8K clearly wins in this important area for me. Plus, it was new in the box ready to go. So I bought it for $900 (same price as the QM8). I also read a detailed review on RTINGS that I have trusted for many years. They pointed out that the U8K was better out of the box without calibration. That is VERY appealing to me as well. They also have it edging out the TCL very slightly. Splitting hairs really. I do know a thing or two about TV.s and great PQ as I currently own a Sony BRAVIA XR X95K and a Epson 5050UB in my Home Theater showing on a 135" Silver Screen,

Which one is better for movies, especially those in HDR? The TCL looked amazing!

I've been thinking of getting the U7K, i've been told that the processing is very bad on Hisense tvs, do you still recommended ? I can get the Sony X80K in the same budget (Canada) but the Hisense TV seems to have better specs.

I've been waiting for this Hisense TV for a little while... Looks like the TCL is the new number one this year... I'm pretty sure it will outperform the Samsung and Sony's. AT a much lower cost. TCL qm8 will be my next TV. I currently have the Samsung qN95B

I noticed that near the end of your video, from the 12:35 mark and on, your camera's Bokeh effect really made the Hisense look bad because of the positioning and where you were standing. It focused on you and had the Hisense blurred out for the rest of the video. At first, I thought something was wrong with the Hisense, and then I noticed that when you moved your hand near the Hisense, it cleared up.

Is it possible for you to compare the U7K (Hisense) vs the 7-Series (TCL)? I'm curious how the tier 2 models from each manufacture compare to the tier 1 models, just as you've shown here. Thanks Steve!

Hey fellow Steve, some other reviewers are commenting that the upscaling of low resolution content of the QM8 is not as good as the U8K. Did you find that in your tests as well?

Thanks Steve TCL for me thanks to you u8k has better sound but TCL has better picture just need to buy a sound bar

I hope you can do star field test it shows the weakness of the tv in many areas blooming, black crush and local dimming

Thank you Steve!!!! Maybe many of us can tweet TCL to do a software patch that would give their users full control of the TV settings. I am happy that my Best Buy purchase of the TCL 65QMA will be delivered this Saturday!

I’m gonna wait a couple more weeks before deciding on one of these (or the 2022 versions). But I can’t see myself paying 1.2K (current discounts I’m seeing) for this TCL when the LG C2 is just a couple hundred more for an OLED w/ more features. I feel like they’ve gotten too close in price to better televisions and unless there’s a discount, you’d be better off going with a higher end TV.

Excellent review of both tv's. Steve. I like the TCL better myself. I have both TCL and Hisense tvs and I favor TCL more.

we need to see the u8k in the 75" variant, I would guess the brightness would be much more on par with the Qm8 as it has the ADS Panel

Hey Steve, my bedroom 2016 60"Vizio M series tv died on me today. My living room has a 75in Qn85 and its cool. While i have no problem going with a Samsung, Hisense has my attention of late. Price point is $1000 and under. 65-75in. What would you recommend? Thanks.

Hey steve love your work, i just wanted to point out that when you compared the android os versions you called both tvs hisense.

Great video! Not sure if I overlooked it, but did you show any side by side comparison of picture quality of KZfaq streaming and non-4K content? My wife and I like to watch stuff on KZfaq, and many of the shows on some of the streaming providers are not on 4K.

TechSteve, at 2:58 you do an excellent demonstration that shows the TCL QM8 has excellent smoothness with "Motion" that apparently has virtually no Stuttering or Juddering. However, the "Motion" test clearly shows problems with the Hisense U8K. The problems with "Stuttering" when watching Blu-ray movies at 24 frames per second were ultimately the reason I did not buy the U8H in 2022. Reviews have said the U8K has superior "Processing," especially when playing low-bitrate problems and reducing "Posterization." The "Posterization" was a severe problem with the U8H, and comparisons show the "Posterization" is actually an area the U8K is noticeably superior to the QM8. But, as far as the 1080p Blu-ray movies running at 24 frames per second, do you know if the U8K and QM8 experience these problems with "Stuttering" and "Juddering"? In one of your reviews and comparison, you mentioned a Sony TV sold at a similar price has fewer problems with "Stuttering" than these TVs. This isn't a surprise, considering it was Sony that came up with the idea of movies running at 24 frames per second. But when I looked up the Sony TV you mentioned, the Sony TV has "Full Array" lighting; however, the Sony TV did not have the more advanced "Mini-LED" Lighting.

Great comparison, I think it would be nice to do a comparison with the U8H and U8K. I own the U8H and I love the picture quality as well as the price I bought if for. The only con that I can see is its motion, it stutters sometimes, but I got it on sale 75inch 1,399. So cant complain to much.

My son has last years TCL C835 & my friend has the 8K TCL X925 from 2 years ago & they both have full access to local dimming control off, low, medium & high. I am sure the 2023 range will too. If VRR & ALLM mode is on inside tv then you won't see local dimming options so temp turn them off & you'll suddenly have access to them. Your TCL is probably still in ALLM & VRR Game mode. Also, in audio there should be a Dynamic Sound option, turn it on and the TV comes to life. (The other sound options don't come close)

Steve what do you think is better U8K or Samsung QN90B?

I watched this video several times and I’m still no closer to picking out a new tv because to me, they both look good. The TCL has a slight edge on picture but the Hisense has the best sound. If only there was a way to combine both sets into one

Great work Steve! I love having complete control over my TV and I love having a loud sound system so the Hisense would definitely be right up my alley and while yes, the TCL might have a 10-bit panel and might be brighter. I personally think that Hisense has overall better picture, but that's my opinion I'm sure. Everyone's will differ. Thanks so much for this comparison! Now to wait to see how cheap the U8K gets and to wonder if it's a worthy upgrade over my 65-in 2021 Hisense U8G ?

Which TV has the best picture quality overall for HDR movies and HDR gaming? If am correct Gaming mode is better for latency for online shooting games but from what I understand Game mode cuts down on picture quality? I am not really a hardcore online gamer, I might play something like PUBG once in a while just for fun. I've been seeing the Hisense 55" on sale for 748... Only thing for me about the TCL doesn't come in 55" so I would have to get a 65" which I've been seeing on sale for 1,098.

I think the hisense has a perfect balance of pricing with the features ,the tcl does have better picture quality because of that contrast but to me that wont be enough to attract me. Brighter doesnt always mean better.

I see you said on the TCL you can't adjust your local dimming zones but can you turn the brightness setting down? Thank you!!!

Does the TCL give you the ability to display the incoming resolution of streaming content (Disney+Max)? I know Hisense gives you that ability.

TCL has got to be using a VA panel, no IPS would be able go provide that much contrast and brightness without showing massive amounts of glow and blooming.

Hisense seems to give more picture detail, TCL crushes things in a dark picture

🙌🏾🔥🙌🏾. Great work, Steve.The TCL is still a good tv. But I think more gamers are going to get the Hisense tv. Especially console and pc gamers like myself.

Can someone tell me which models of TCL and which models of Hisense were released and when? Confused on the Q, A, and S lines. Leaning towards a 65" or larger TCL but HiSense may win out on price.

Hey Steve question I’m looking to get a new tv for Netflix streaming shows I’m not trying to be too cheap, i seen the insignia TVs at Best Buy, i see people post about tcl and hi sense. Which one should i go with under $400?

Thanks Steve. Very informative review. Have decided to return the A80K in favor of these two, Just not wowed and it's over double the price. Straight movie and sports watcher. Zero gamer so limited ports don't matter. Do use a Polk soundbar. Thank you.

Question that I would ask for both TVs is are they being shown in this video as pre or post calibration setups and if so with what software. how close was each TV available to achieve an error value of less than 1 with color accuracy

U8K has its percs .. like sounds and control , but the QM8 cost most for a reason ... and some people mess up a great image tweeking too much loll

steve can you review the hisense U7K?

Hey Steve, I'm Deciding between a 75' QM8, H8K and the Samsung QN90B from 2022. I'm not a huge gamer but more focused on picture quality when watching TV (especially sports). Which of these 3 would you recommend. My budget is $2,000 TOPS. Your recommendation would be HIGHLY APPRECIATED!!!!!

That picture on the QM8 just smoked the Hisense

I think picture quality is amazing TCL 👍

Wow, that Local Dimming HIGH on Hisense really propels it forward in Gaming Were both these TVs calibrated?

You should have turned brightness up on Hisense the same as tcl.....

excellent video
