If you prioritize overall picture quality and gaming performance and don't mind spending more, the TCL QM8 may be a better choice. It offers higher picture quality, brighter images in both standard and high dynamic range, and better color accuracy. It also has a higher refresh rate which is excellent for gaming. On the other hand, the Hisense U6K comes at a lower price. While it has good overall picture quality, it won't be as bright as the TCL QM8, especially in well-lit rooms. However, it still offers a good viewing experience for movies and standard TV content and performs decently for gaming. Both TVs support voice commands and have similar audio power. Neither has standout built-in speakers, so for either TV, you might consider an external sound system for a better audio experience. Give Feedback

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.
