The Hisense U6G is a good choice if you're looking for a TV that offers a solid all-around performance for less money, but it may not be the best for bright room usage due to its lower brightness. On the other hand, the TCL Q7 has a higher price tag, but it comes with better performance in brightness and motion handling, making it a more suitable option for well-lit rooms and fast-paced content such as sports and gaming. Keep in mind that the TCL Q7 also includes voice command features, adding to the convenience factor if that is important to you. Give Feedback

The TCL Q7 (LCD) is very good for gaming, while the Hisense U6G (LCD) is only fair.
The TCL Q7 is considered very good for gaming in part due to its higher refresh rate and excellent response time, reducing motion blur and ensuring crisp and smooth gameplay. On the other hand, while the Hisense U6G offers a decent gaming experience with low input lag, its lower refresh rate and good response time make it less ideal for fast-paced gaming compared to the TCL Q7.

The Hisense U6G (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the TCL Q7 (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U6G performs better for watching news, talk shows, and other TV programs because it has better upscaling of lower-resolution content and offers more accurate colors straight out of the box compared to the TCL Q7, which ensures a clearer and more vibrant viewing experience for everyday content. While the TCL Q7 has a higher contrast ratio, this advantage is less critical when viewing standard dynamic range content commonly encountered during news and talk shows.

The TCL Q7 (LCD) and Hisense U6G (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense U6G has good response time for watching sports but falls short in motion processing and handling reflections, which could be distracting during fast-paced games. The TCL Q7 offers a slightly better overall sports viewing experience with very good response time and slightly better motion processing, but it too struggles with reflections and has a more limited viewing angle, affecting how the action looks from different parts of the room.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Hisense U6G (LCD) to be very good for cartoons & animation, while the TCL Q7 (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U6G is very good for watching cartoons and animation due to its excellent color gamut, which allows it to display a wide range of colors, and solid performance in color out of the box, ensuring that colors appear accurately without much tweaking. The TCL Q7 is good for the same content, with a strong color gamut as well, but falls slightly behind in how the colors are calibrated out of the box compared to the U6G, making the Hisense's initial viewing experience potentially more vibrant and true-to-life for animated content.

The TCL Q7 (LCD) and Hisense U6G (LCD) are both good for bright room.
The Hisense U6G performs well in bright rooms due to its very good SDR and HDR brightness, which enhances visibility even when there's a lot of ambient light; however, its reflections handling is only fair, so while it can get bright, glare can be an issue. The TCL Q7, while also providing very good SDR brightness and good HDR brightness, struggles more with reflections as indicated by a poor reflections score, making it less ideal than the Hisense U6G for environments with direct light sources.

About Hisense
Hisense, a Chinese TV manufacturer, entered the US market in approximately 2011 and has since acquired TV divisions from various companies such as Toshiba, Sharp, Hitachi, and NEC. Currently ranking as the fourth largest vendor in terms of sales volume, Hisense aims to capture a wide range of TV budget segments. They offer exceptional value with TVs that often outperform their competitors at similar price points, making them a compelling choice for consumers. In the US, they use Google TV as their smart TV software which provides the largest app selection and a very modern user interface, however it is not as user friendly as the software from other vendors.
About TCL
TCL, the highly recognizable TV brand from China, has firmly established itself as the second-largest manufacturer in terms of sales volume. Renowned for striking an impressive balance between affordability, picture quality, and design, TCL TVs deliver a compelling overall package. While they have traditionally excelled in the low-end and midrange TV segments, TCL has recently made remarkable strides in the realm of high-end televisions, introducing impressive models that rival top competitors. Most TCL TVs use Roku software which is very user friendly and easy to use, but they have a few other models that use Google TV which has the largest app selection, but is not as user friendly as Roku.
