Our Verdict
Hisense UX
TCL QM8/QM850G QLED
The TCL QM8/QM850G QLED and the Hisense UX are both flagship TVs from their respective manufacturers, with the Hisense having the edge over the TCL. The Hisense has better contrast, helped by slightly better local dimming. It also gets brighter than the already extremely bright TCL and has a much wider viewing angle. Finally, it has much better image processing overall. The TCL does have slightly lower input lag and much better HDR gradient handling, as well as a higher 144Hz refresh rate on one of its HDMI ports.
