I like they are SLOW. I find Rtings TEst are d MOST accurate. They base on Facts n on HOT panel rivals they even take LONGER so they do not show biased results. Most other Influncers are doing a Quick “impreession” to gain MOST youtube views. “Who gets the TV Review OUT FIRST “ type of thing. I ❤rtings. They are d ONLY site i trust for now . Most online Tech Review sites are paid off these days. Rtings are staying firm to their spine . They buy tv. They dont get TV SENT to them. N since HIsense TCL tvs Arrive Canada 1-2 months later than USA. They do NOT get First dip. But they do well for what they do. :) 😊

nice review!

i bought my hisense u8k 3 month ago and in my opinion is awesome !! i first decided to get the qm8 but i saw these 2 togheter and picked the hisense no regrets!!

I wonder if the better handling with color banding on the TCL is due to the Hisense only having an 8-bit panel vs the TCL’s 10-bit panel.

I got the 85 inch hisense u8k because the hisense reps and supervisors told me it was a ips panel when i got the tv i could tell immediately it was not a ips panel but va. How hisense does not even know their own tv panel is incredible

You can get 144Hz to work on the qm8 with nvidia gpus using a custom resolution but the overshoot is really bad unless you can sustain 144Hz the whole time.

You can still improve the picture by playing around with the settings and adjusting them to your liking, but you just won't likely receive the same thoroughness as professional calibration.

I hear that the TCL is very inconsistent in quality. Thoughts?

I looked at the Tcl image and it looked very good. I would have liked to buy TCL, but from what I understood, the upscaling is very poor. I bought the G4 anyway. If the upscaling had been good, I would have bought the TCL.

Glad I held off on a purchase lol. Hisense sounds like more bang for the buck planning to pick up soon!!!

I'm still using my KS8000. I wanna upgrade but it still looks great to me when gaming on PS5. Are any of these TV"s truly big jumps?

I own both the 85” TCL QM8(guest bedroom) and just got the 100” U8K (living room) for $2999. I love both and agree the TCL is certainly brighter and its remote is backlit, which is amazing. Video games on both whether it’s Xbox series X, PS five and switch has been phenomenal. I tend to favor the hundred inch since it’s in our living room. After being spoiled by the hundred inches I can’t go back to anything smaller than 85.

The Hisense has 1 panel among 55” 65” 75” 85” 110” , only 75” has ADS-PRO (still very high contrasted , 2x of contrast ratio of common ADS). So he said that 75” has worse contrast than the 55” 65” 85” 100” ones. Cuz those use VA panels (Traditional VA good contrast but u have to sit directly in front of tv not at til angle. (Slight tilt is okay). Its not worse much tho. Its like saying “my friend she’s shorter than me”. Ppl will think its shave off 1-3inch. Gut liteally can turn out to be 0.3-0.5 inch. But its sill bullet prof they will still have higher contrast than those Sony x93L. No fail.

@@ShuhDonk I agree to an extent. I don't see why Samsung doesn't just add the feature if it's not that expensive. Which if Vizio, Hisense & TCL can do it, so could Samsung. But I do understand why they don't on principal. When it's just not necessary other than to make Dolby money by paying them to help promote them. Dolby Vision was created to solve a problem. The meta data couldn't be processed accurately by earlier versions of HDR10. But that's just not the case any more. And all your collection can be watched in HDR10 & every other TV manufacturer does have DV. DV just shouldn't be that much of a deal breaker if Samsung has a good enough TV without it.

Hdtvtest measures 4000 contrast ratio on the Hisense u8k , how come u measure 7000+ ? To be honest I have a trust issue with you guys specially when you mentioned that Samsung s95c is full bandwidth which is not , you have a lot of mistakes in your testing

Rtings own website about--UPscaling “ Our test uses a 480p video with a non-square (anamorphic) pixel aspect ratio. Even though we're using a 480p signal, the results of this test are valid for any low-resolution or low-bitrate source, like DVDs or cable TV channels. As the quality of the signal increases, the sharpness processing of the TV is less important, though, as the TV doesn't have to work as hard to produce a nice image. Even going up to 1080p can make a huge difference, as most modern TVs do very little processing on 1080p signals like Blu-rays, so issues that are exposed with a 480p signal aren't as obvious.”
