Our Verdict

TCL QM8/QM850G QLED

Hisense U7K [U7, U75K]

The TCL QM8/QM850G QLED and Hisense U7K are closely matched TVs, each with their strengths, although the TCL is just a bit better overall. The TCL is a performance standout: it gets much brighter than the Hisense and has better color volume, so bright highlights and colors look very impressive. The TCL also has deeper contrast than the Hisense, which is helped by a very good local dimming solution. However, the Hisense is much more color-accurate than the TCL pre-calibration and has slightly better upscaling capabilities. The Hisense also has a more functional VRR feature, as the TCL's response time fluctuates heavily as its refresh rate goes up and down.
