The Hisense U8H usually costs a bit more and offers a higher overall picture quality, making it a strong choice for movies and gaming, performing particularly well in dark rooms and bright environments. It's also better for mixed usage like news, animation, and reality TV shows. On the other hand, the TCL Q7 tends to be slightly less expensive with good performance for gaming, a better dark room viewing experience due to its impressive black uniformity, and it's particularly good for watching animated content. If you prioritize gaming and are looking for a more budget-friendly option, the TCL Q7 is a good pick. For a robust all-around experience, especially in different lighting conditions, and if you're willing to pay a little more, the Hisense U8H is the better choice. Give Feedback

The Hisense U8H (LCD) is excellent for cartoons & animation, while the TCL Q7 (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U8H is considered excellent for watching cartoons and animation because it displays colors better right out of the box and has a very good color gamut, ensuring a vibrant and widespread spectrum of colors. In contrast, the TCL Q7, while still good for cartoons and animation, isn't as strong in color performance immediately after set-up and has a less impressive color gamut, resulting in slightly less vividness in comparison.

The Hisense U8H (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the TCL Q7 (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U8H excels in areas that are very important for watching news and TV programs, with excellent SDR brightness and very good upscaling to handle various content resolutions crisply. In contrast, the TCL Q7, while slightly better in contrast, falls behind with a lower SDR brightness and weaker upscaling capabilities, which could result in less clarity and brightness when displaying everyday television content.

The Hisense U8H (LCD) is best in class for bright room, while the TCL Q7 (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U8H outshines the TCL Q7 in bright rooms largely due to its superior reflection handling and higher brightness in both standard and high dynamic range content, making it better suited for environments with a lot of ambient light. However, despite having slightly better contrast, the TCL Q7 doesn't perform as well with reflections, which can be more distracting when watching TV in well-lit rooms.

"Hisense is over here making the best TVs for the majority of average families. U8H is a juiced-up utility knife of a television that manages to do a lot of things pretty well. The brightness this TV is capable of pushing out means I can see everything going on in any video game I’m playing regardless of what time of day it is"

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.
