If superior picture quality, especially for movie watching and gaming in darker rooms, is a priority and you are willing to pay more, the Hisense U7K would be a better choice. The TCL Q6, on the other hand, is a more budget-friendly option and still offers good picture quality for casual viewing, but it doesn't quite match the Hisense in terms of overall performance. Keep in mind that the TCL Q6 might not be as suitable for very bright rooms or for users who demand top-tier gaming performance. Give Feedback

The Hisense U7K (LCD) is very good for movies & TV, while the TCL Q6 (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense U7K delivers a superior movie and cinematic TV watching experience, thanks to its high contrast and effective local dimming which enhance deep blacks and shadow details, along with excellent black uniformity that prevents distracting inconsistencies in dark scenes. On the other hand, the TCL Q6, with lower contrast and poor local dimming, can't produce as deep blacks and might show more unevenness in dark scenes, which detracts from the immersive cinematic experience.

The Hisense U7K (LCD) is very good for gaming, while the TCL Q6 (LCD) is poor.
The Hisense U7K is better for gaming primarily because it has a very good response time, which ensures smoother motion with less blur during fast action, and its input lag is rated good, minimizing the delay between your actions on a controller and what appears on screen. Conversely, the TCL Q6 has a fair response time, which might lead to more motion blur, and although its input lag is rated best, the overall experience is hindered by its lower refresh rate and inferior response time.

The Hisense U7K (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the TCL Q6 (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U7K is better for watching cartoons and animation because it displays colors accurately straight out of the box, and it has a very good color gamut which ensures a wide range of colors. On the other hand, the TCL Q6 performs less optimally with colors not showing as accurately without adjustment and although it has a good color gamut, it's not on par with the Hisense U7K.

The Hisense U7K (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the TCL Q6 (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U7K is preferred for watching news and TV programs due to its superior upscaling and better color accuracy straight out of the box. In contrast, the TCL Q6, while still offering very good SDR brightness, falls short in upscaling quality and color performance upon initial setup.

The Hisense U7K (LCD) is very good for bright room, while the TCL Q6 (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U7K provides a 'very good' experience in bright rooms, significantly due to its high SDR and HDR brightness and its excellent handling of reflections, making it well-suited for well-lit environments. In contrast, while the TCL Q6 offers 'very good' brightness, its performance is hindered by poor reflection handling, rendering it less optimal than the Hisense U7K when placed in bright rooms.

The Hisense U7K (LCD) and TCL Q6 (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense U7K and the TCL Q6 are both fair for watching sports due to their limited viewing angles, which can make it hard to see the action from the side. Both TVs handle reflections well enough, though the Hisense's faster response time and superior motion processing provide a slight edge, especially during fast-paced games; however, neither is exceptional at maintaining consistent shades across the screen, which can affect the appearance of playing fields or courts.

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.
