The Hisense U6K may be less expensive and offers good overall picture quality, making it suitable for watching movies and series. It performs decently in bright rooms, but its gaming experience is not the best. The TCL Q7, while somewhat more expensive, provides a better gaming experience and also has better picture quality overall. It performs slightly better in brightly lit rooms and offers a higher refresh rate which may be beneficial for watching sports and playing video games. Choose the Hisense U6K if you're on a tighter budget and prioritize watching movies. Opt for the TCL Q7 if you're willing to spend more for an improved gaming experience and slightly better performance in bright rooms. Give Feedback

The TCL Q7 (LCD) and Hisense U6K (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense U6K is fair for watching sports primarily due to its poor handling of reflections and limited viewing angle, which could be a drawback in bright rooms or for groups watching from different positions. On the other hand, the TCL Q7 boasts a very good response time, which is beneficial for fast-moving sports content but has an even lower score for reflections and a similar limitation with viewing angles.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Hisense U6K (LCD) to be very good for cartoons & animation, while the TCL Q7 (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U6K is very good at displaying cartoons and animation due to its strong performance in reproducing colors out of the box and having a very good color gamut, which ensures vibrant and accurate colors. In comparison, the TCL Q7 is also good for these types of content but doesn't match the Hisense in color performance right out of the box, though it still provides a good color gamut for a pleasing picture.

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.
