The TCL Q7 is a solid midrange choice that offers good overall picture quality and excellent gaming performance, making it suitable for gamers who want smooth motion and low input lag. It performs well in both dark and bright rooms, though not as impressively as the Hisense UX in a bright room. The TCL's sound quality is fair, and it lacks advanced audio features like Dolby Atmos or DTS:X, which might be a drawback if you're looking for an immersive audio experience without external speakers. On the other hand, the Hisense UX, while more expensive, delivers superior bright room performance, which is ideal if you have a lot of windows or overhead lighting. It also has a larger screen size at 85 inches, which can be a game-changer if you're looking to fill a large space or want a more immersive viewing experience. The Hisense boasts better color accuracy and volume, enhancing the visual experience for movies and shows. It also comes with better built-in speakers, offering a 4.1.2 setup with Dolby Atmos, which is great for enjoying cinematic sound without the need for additional sound systems. In summary, if you prioritize gaming and are looking for a cost-effective option with decent performance across various content types, the TCL Q7 is a strong contender. However, if you desire the best bright room performance, a larger screen, and superior built-in audio, and you're willing to invest more, the Hisense UX would be the better choice. Give Feedback

The Hisense UX (LCD) is very good for movies & TV, while the TCL Q7 (LCD) is good.
The Hisense UX excels in watching movies and cinematic TV due to its higher contrast, more effective local dimming, and better black uniformity, making for deeper blacks and more striking visuals, especially in dark scenes. In comparison, the TCL Q7, while still good, has slightly lower marks in these key areas, and does not perform as well in terms of color out of the box and viewing angles, which could affect the immersiveness of the viewing experience.

The Hisense UX (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the TCL Q7 (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense UX offers superior upscaling and brighter SDR content making it very good for news and TV programs, allowing details to be crisper, even on low-resolution channels, and maintaining clear visibility in various lighting conditions. Meanwhile, the TCL Q7 is rated as fair in these aspects due to its lower capability in upscaling and less vibrant color presentation out of the box, which means it may not handle lower resolution content as well and could look dimmer in bright rooms.

The Hisense UX (LCD) and TCL Q7 (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense UX has difficulty with motion processing which can impact the viewing experience during fast-paced sports action, but it handles reflections better making it more suitable for well-lit environments compared to the TCL Q7. However, the TCL Q7 offers very good response time for handling motion but suffers from poor performance in bright rooms due to limited reflection handling and narrow viewing angles.

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.
