I think you should say "picture accuracy" instead of "picture quality." The QM8 definitely struggles with picture accuracy (colors out of the box, calibration options, EOTF tracking), but there is much more to picture QUALITY than accuracy, which is only one variable. The QM8 shines in many other ways (brightness and contrast, for example), which many people would consider important to picture quality (along with accuracy).
The color on my TCL QM8 is perfectly fine. Both TVs have their ups and downs. TCL has better brightness, contrast, Picture Quality and it can do 144Hz where Hisense has better upscaling and better picture accuracy. The Hisense can also only do 1500 nit peak brightness while the TCL does 2000 nit. Either way both TVs are good and it’s usually just a personal preference when it comes to TVs but you wanna make sure you can get one specific for your needs/wants.
I would love to know how the 75" ADS/IPS U8K compares to the VA QM8. It seems the things hisense is "winning" at could change. I have to assume black levels, motion and image clarity will be affected in some way and if any of those are negatively affected then the qm8 would be the hands down choice at a that size.
I have the Q7 and it’s so much better than my Sonyx80k which was still good. I only blooming I see is when something bright is in the corner like a title or anything but the entire tv is black. Black level is great. No issues here at all. I’ve had some glitching issues at times but I just restarted the tv no big deal. How can I get your recommended settings? I just have my tv at smartHDR brightness 50, and turned off that automatic brightness crap
Awesome thanks! Can you do an upscaling test please? FOMO said the upscaling on the Hisense is improved from the past and better than the Q7. What about vs the QM8? rtings is possibly giving the QM8 a 4/10 for upscaling. Can you give your impressions? Which is better with 480/720p RUclips videos etc? Also banding has been an issue at least with Hisense in the past. Any noticeable differences in that area between the sets?
I have the qm7 and I love it. Way better than my old x80K And my old Hisense U7H which is good. This tv is great I can only imagine how these tvs look in person
I'm strictly a pc user/gamer and the u8k is a far better choice for that specific use case. As to color saturation you can tweak that via the settings to get vibrant colors and inky blacks at the same time so with a bit of effort. Motion is perfect as long as its a high quality source. It does fall a bit off with sub 1080p content but who buys a tv like to watch low quality content?
Interesting that the Hisense with only an 8-bit panel beats TCL with a 10-bit panel. A couple other noteworthy differences: the Hisense has the next-gen ATSC 3.0 tuner. The TCL does not. The TCL’s eARC port is separate from its two HDMI 2.1 ports to be able to connect eARC and two next-gen gaming consoles.
Hello do u know how to get full potential 144hz on may TCL android TV , I just build my gaming PC but when I use it on my TV it just stuck on 60hz , my TV is TCL c930 65 inch
The HDMI port for eARC being separated from the other two HDMI 2.1 ports sounds great till you realize that port eARC is on is only HDMI 2.0. May not sound like a big deal but that means it's limited to 18Gbps so lossless audio for higher end audio formats is not possible. You can still use them but they will be compressed with lossy audio.
Unlike like other reviewers example like digital trends I like that you're direct without giving a shït about fidelity to any tv company and go straight to the point. If I'm not mistaking you where the only one ho noticed that sony had some issues with video/image processing, well I had the x95l and after one week of trying to somewhat stabilities the processing I've given up and returned it. My issue whas that on action movies or fast paced videos the image was loosing some frames and could not see exactly the entire scene. I have zero clues how that is called but I'm pretty shore is a term for it in the reviewers world
Digital trends literally --direct ppl with U8K to Calibrate U8K to STraight to “Theatre Day” or “film Maker “ mode straight OUT oF BOX. WTF. Those 2 modes are d MOST UGLY washed OUT blotchy color. I took bioscience long ago n Me trained half marathon, successfully got myself , my husband (muscle man Captain America shape) OUT f Eating disorder for LIFE. Like FOR LIFE. He can eat anything Any time, same weight. Vs most gym guys “bulk/Deficit-blow up, rinse repeat” i can bet 100% ppl think GYM --beefy personal trainers will know more about Training than i do cuz they are d “expert”. In face they are JSUT crop shoot as much as everyone else. But they sound like expert. PPL blindly believe Digital Trends, n a few others. The thing is they know it, they leverage they are seen as “d expert”. They jut talk d talk. Quatum is one of most honest ppl here. 😊
As a Hisense U8H 55” user, is it worth upgrading to the U8K or QM8? I wanna know if the issues with the U8H has been improved in terms of the posterization (color banding), perhaps a bit better motion (better processing), better upscaling/sharper image and blooming control if upgraded to the U8K or is the QM8 better in regards to that. Don’t need to answer, though these are some good pointers I would love to see in a physical comparison in a future video. 👍
U8K upgarded the Mediatek SoC (from MT9615 to MT9818) , TCL using the same SoC from 2021 , (MediaTek MT9615 aka MT5889) - The same SoC Hisense used in their U8H .. Same SoC that caused resolution halving .. in Sony X90E , X85K , J ... Still TCL not able to do 4k 120hz 4 4 4 .. only 4k 120hz 4 2 2 or 3840 × 1080p @ 120 hz 4 4 4 .. this outdated chip doesnot have enough bandwidth .. TCL should have upgraded to Pentonic 1000 or added an Co processor like Sony did in their X90j to help it. Also the 9615 SoC upscaling processing , motion handling , and black gardiation are on the average side.
Thanks for the video, Quantum. I'm researching 75-inchers and I'm afraid reviews of 65" or smaller models do not apply to the same models with larger screens. What say you?
pre-calibration - QM8 post calibration - U8K Is that correct? What about settings wise? I turn on my tv , watch sports choose one “Q”post calibration setting. Turn on my tv, gonna watch Netflix, choose another “Q” setting. I don’t game. Which would you pick Q?
Absolutely HIsense. D Calibratoin is ONLY annoying first week. Its Ike ppl go to gym first time, dont know what to use, n how. But if going Daily, by 2nd n 3rd week, u don’t even NEED to think what to do. Its like auto pilot. SO easy So So so so easy. Like u go to a Dark show, or bright day OUT door scene. U Auto know,,,,exact brightness/black level u need to set to --watch that show. RUclips shows all bright, Netflix documentaries can be Dark . Sifi movies diff setting. U do automatic takes 5 seconds , as easy as turn up/down volume .:) 😊
Honest review! I feel the TCL Q8M is the overall better choice if you can get one no issues. It is a huge improvement over my TCL Q825 which is what I am hoping for. As for the Hisense U8K I think my Hisense U8H may be the better choice because it can get brighter yet it's black level performance is close. Also Hisense dropped the ball in cabinet design since the U8G! Doesn't look like a top of the line model!
I just bought a U8H Australian version. 75-in and the dimming zones are about 3 to 4 inches square ⬜ You can literally see them turning on and off as words roll up the screen. There's 10 from the top to bottom .its atrocious. The blooming is out of control if I turn it off. I can't believe no one has commented on it. I might have a dud
U got that right is 100 videos in YT about comparison between the 2 & all of them said TCLQM8 is abit better as showing both TVS side by side ..i bought U8H 75 inch & Absolutely lovin it, this year on U8K is Dimmer & Blks is more Gary as blks better on TCL IN comparison, U have to put 2 TVS side by side and show in movies/videos/streaming services content to see how both of them works as in pic quality an in blks , not like this compression, this is B.S..BUT Defiantly this year go with 85 inch TCL QM8 by blk Friday, watch the Digital Trends comparison between these 2 or others!
Strange to say Hisense has better colors when it’s only an 8bit panel and the TCL is a 10-bit. Also would help to do like a rating on each metric, so we can see *how much* better we are talking on each one, vs just “better”. Wish we could’ve seen some calibration test screens
I understand . JUST like last 3 yrs Hisense FLAGSHIP--H9G, U8G, U8H, always 8bit with upscaling. But comparing Sony X900h, A90J , X95K, LG C9, CX, C1 ….U know what I am talking about . Just like if we get BEST Intell CPU doesnt mean we get Best graphics. SONY --TCL--USE RGB technology, (red green blue blends). --😊Thx to Quatum educate US 🎉 Hisense/Samsung use HIGH level Luminance Blend light technolgy. RGB tech, will look dull n off putting. But they over compressed by making it bright . Their blue/red/ green always off looking. For example if u use SONY all neon pink looks megenta, all their lavender will look purple . Their green will look turquoise , u can check in d store. I am not sure about TCL, but if same tech, prob same problem. Color blends. Hisense Produce WAY Vibrant color. Like megenta , pink, orchit flower purple shade. Etc.
You know the motion for the u8k is trash I don't understand how you can recommend let me ask you this can you use 4k 120hz passthrough receiver to this qm8 4k 60hz earc. That's the real question about this TV I assume the answer is no
I'm also interested in your opinion on upscaling between the two? And viewing angles? Side by side shots would be nice, as I can't see either of these in a store.
I truly appreciate you taking the time with each brand, diving into each ones settings objectively and bringing forth a very succinct conclusion. Which is why I trust your TV reviews over all others ( including Caleb and Fomo ) . Thanks for the honesty brother!
Hey, good stuff, hope you are going take care of the TCLQ7 review as well, from what I have been hearing the colors are a little bit more cool on that one, and even though it’s not mini LED, it’s full array backlight seems to Give more decent black levels from what I have been hearing, and they also carry the same processor so I’m guessing maybe since the processor doesn’t have as much work to do at my produce better results on that Q7 well then the QM8, hope to see a review on that, good stuff quantum
my u8k had HORRIBLE black smearing in low light areas of every game I tried to play. How does the QM8 compare? I know you mentioned it has better motion but does that involve the VA smearing too? I know it comes with VA panels but Sony has been god tier at avoiding the dreaded VA black smear.
I have color banding through HDMI on my 55 inch U8H. I am considering having a larger TCL QM8 but I am concerned of this color banding issue. Have you seen any of this color banding through HDMI on either the U8K or QM8? Thank you
Would appreciate a breakdown of gaming specs/abilities and short comings! And how compares to u8h, appreciate your work dude, thanks for all the insight you provide i trust your videos
I'm so torn between these 2 TVs. I have to maintain a budget but looking for 75" due to the size of the living room. Perhaps a TV like last years LG Evo C2? I know some good deals are right around the corner with black friday coming soon.
No big deal. This is just exactly one of the three videos I needed to see in order to make my purchase. Please do LG G2 vs. C3, and/or both of the above vs. C2/3. You’re the best in the space. Thanks, dude.
That said, ugh and admit. I demand a great picture, HATE motion artifacts, but don’t really give much of a shit about brightness and never play video games…. So… I need to pay up for an LG OLED? If so, fine. But… Last year’s S95b, 55” LG C3, 55” LG G2… Wait for bargain bin LG C2. How does anyone ever decide?
Not sure if it's been asked out here already but have you gotten a look at the 75 inch Hisense u8k with the ADS- pro screen? My 65" 2019 LG OLED that screen issues and I have a $1,700 credit from Best buy and I'm leaning towards the 75 " Hisense but I haven't really seen any reviews on that size and I know the screen is different than the rest. Thanks
Thats the set/size I'm interested in as well. ADS/IPS can apparently have good black levels now. Caleb Dennison talked a little about it in his S90C review if i'm remembering right.
Currently have a 65H9F and trying to make this very choice. You pegged the key issues making this difficult. Really would prefer the 10bit panel of the QM8 but the lack of color control and QA is concerning. Use a HTPC with a Denon 3800H AVR sourced from a Nvidia RTX and will want to verify no HDMI/CEC issues or issues with 4K/120hz 10bit YCbCr 4:4:4 and if that's possible at 40Gb/s through the Denon. Wiki indicates up to 10bit 4K/144hz YCbCr 4:4:4 should be possible at 39.19Gb/s.
I’m in a need of a 75 inch. Would QM8 be better PQ wise over U8K since Hisense is an IPS panel at that size? I need this for dark room viewing so things like black levels and no blooming are important.
As someone from the UK, I am of the understanding that UK models don't have the same Specs as US models, and have less features. So would the TCL then be the best option and better TV in the UK market
So the hisense is an 8 bit panel and the tcl is a 10 bit panel, is there that much of a drastic difference in color reproduction between the 2? I own the 75" U8K and don't want to feel like I'm missing out on a big difference for $100 or $200 difference between the 2 at the same size
In 99% of normal use cases, no. The U8K is 8bit+FRC so it can reproduce the same colors as a 10 bit through some trickery. If you are doing high end color correction on your PC or trying to dial in master level calibration you won't get the same as a native 10 bit panel. Very close, but not 100%. However, the QM8 has it's own problems where even if it is native 10 bit color the PQ EOTF tracking is weird so it either blows out highlights or is dimmer than it should be. If you are a gamer consider the U8K as the QM8 handles VRR in an odd manner by certain threshold brackets so if you're not hitting a certain FPS it's really bad looking.
Weird, out of the 3 channels that I usually trust this was the only one to give U8K that many wins in that many categories. I suppose my quest continues...
between the u8k being $800 new and the c2 being $1100 open box at my local best buy which one would you lean towards, i love to game on my pc and ps5 on my tv. but i never owned an oled and i kinda fearful of the burn in deal, im good for falling asleep with the game on pause late night LOL.
The u8k since your scared of burn in which will always happen eventually, the uk8 the black level is almost oled and unless side by side you most likely wont see the difference
Do any of these tvs have the option to Screen Size Adjust that will allow players to rescale the display within a smaller area on the screen? I've heard that Sony is rolling out with this feature for newer models in their next update.
What’s a good all around for hockey, football, formula 1 and some gaming I have a high attention to detail so I need very good motion as well as the best picture quality possible for under 2k if possible but could go to 3 for a 70+ inch. Recommendations?
Quantum… ips panel U8k 85 inch or av panel QM8 85 inch?…I know you like 55 and 65 inch , but just wanting to hear your opinion on the 85 inch… my 85 inch Qm8 sometimes doesn’t seem as clear as other times… anyway… I am happy with it and I enjoy your uploads
Wait was his U8K messed up? How the hell could the TCL on board speakers out produce, 2 upfiring and 2 downfiring along with a built in Sub on the U8K that doesnt seem possible with an atmos or dd plus sound source?
Ok so maybe someone an help. I can get a q7 65 for 699 or a Hisense 55 u8k for 799. I know it’s not the same as the qm8 but the tcl is bigger than the hisense and I heard the tcl brand is better. Any Advice ?
I’ve compare my U8H with the QM8. The motion was MUCH better on the U8H. The motion is HORRIBLE on the QM8. Hopefully this gets fixed through and update…or maybe I had a bad QM8. I had to return my TCL to the store.
i have the hisense u8k, the brightness is ridiculous i have to turn it down, its get way to bright. my brightness is on 85% out of 100 if you want i can email you a short video clip of it.
If you don't have a Calman 4k calibration system YES you will need to pay...and it's not cheap for a really good calibrater to come in your house to do it...That's even if you can find one in your area...Quantum does give out calibration settings if you join for $5.99
@@petedetraglia4776 My apple tv calibrated My u8k with my iphone!!! and the colors are absolutely amazing you can literally use you apple tv and iphone to calibrate any tv.
It sorta sucks that when reviewing these tv you compare only the smaller sizes. Most of us buying these TV are looking for 85 to 100" tvs but no review of these larger sizes. The biggest thing is the price of the 98" and 100". The Hisense U89K is $2k to $3k less money than the QM8
I just wish these 2 brands would bring their good products to europe. The models sold here often carry the same name but are very different. In Europe TCL and Hisense are absolute dogshit unfortunately.
Excuse me friend , what country do u live that they CANT have the HISENSE n TCL??? Form what I KNOW HIsense UX (cloud 9 tv) come in 65” 75” 85” somethign like 100” in UK, Germany Fin etc. they were sold out in UK MONTHS AGo. N U8KQ n n TCL last year 935, this year 845 all great in EU. The EU models are EVEN NICEr than US model. So what are u getting THAT opinion from? If u get that from ppl ranting. It’s prob better time to stop. N please do not talk smack on ppls videos. Not cool.

I bought the 85" TCL QM8 from Best Buy for $1399 and paid $5 for Quantum's settings. For the size-to-price-to-performance ratio, I have no regrets.
I think you should say "picture accuracy" instead of "picture quality." The QM8 definitely struggles with picture accuracy (colors out of the box, calibration options, EOTF tracking), but there is much more to picture QUALITY than accuracy, which is only one variable. The QM8 shines in many other ways (brightness and contrast, for example), which many people would consider important to picture quality (along with accuracy).
No 55 killed it for me, plus that 2.1.2 speaker system has me picking up a U8K today! No sound bar needed in this spare room
The color on my TCL QM8 is perfectly fine. Both TVs have their ups and downs. TCL has better brightness, contrast, Picture Quality and it can do 144Hz where Hisense has better upscaling and better picture accuracy. The Hisense can also only do 1500 nit peak brightness while the TCL does 2000 nit. Either way both TVs are good and it’s usually just a personal preference when it comes to TVs but you wanna make sure you can get one specific for your needs/wants.
I would love to know how the 75" ADS/IPS U8K compares to the VA QM8. It seems the things hisense is "winning" at could change. I have to assume black levels, motion and image clarity will be affected in some way and if any of those are negatively affected then the qm8 would be the hands down choice at a that size.
I have the Q7 and it’s so much better than my Sonyx80k which was still good.
I only blooming I see is when something bright is in the corner like a title or anything but the entire tv is black. Black level is great. No issues here at all. I’ve had some glitching issues at times but I just restarted the tv no big deal.

TCL should have upgraded to Pentonic 1000 or added an Co processor like Sony did in their X90j to help it.
Also the 9615 SoC upscaling processing , motion handling , and black gardiation are on the average side.
So what’s the better TV
Thanks for the video, Quantum. I'm researching 75-inchers and I'm afraid reviews of 65" or smaller models do not apply to the same models with larger screens. What say you?
pre-calibration - QM8
post calibration - U8K
Is that correct?
What about settings wise?
I turn on my tv , watch sports choose one “Q”post calibration setting. Turn on my tv, gonna watch Netflix, choose another “Q” setting. I don’t game.
Which would you pick Q?
Absolutely HIsense. D Calibratoin is ONLY annoying first week. Its Ike ppl go to gym first time, dont know what to use, n how. But if going Daily, by 2nd n 3rd week, u don’t even NEED to think what to do. Its like auto pilot. SO easy So So so so easy. Like u go to a Dark show, or bright day OUT door scene.

SONY --TCL--USE RGB technology, (red green blue blends). --😊Thx to Quatum educate US 🎉
Hisense/Samsung use HIGH level Luminance Blend light technolgy. RGB tech, will look dull n off putting. But they over compressed by making it bright . Their blue/red/ green always off looking. For example if u use SONY all neon pink looks megenta, all their lavender will look purple . Their green will look turquoise , u can check in d store. I am not sure about TCL, but if same tech, prob same problem. Color blends.
Hisense Produce WAY Vibrant color. Like megenta , pink, orchit flower purple shade. Etc.
8 bit with 2 bit frc which you can't tell the difference to a real 10bit.
You know the motion for the u8k is trash I don't understand how you can recommend let me ask you this can you use 4k 120hz passthrough receiver to this qm8 4k 60hz earc. That's the real question about this TV I assume the answer is no
Color is perfectly fine on the qm8... Enable the enhanced color video option
I'm also interested in your opinion on upscaling between the two? And viewing angles? Side by side shots would be nice, as I can't see either of these in a store.
Quick question, Since the Hisense had a motion update would you say it's about equal or better than the TCL now?
Tcl truly takes the cake this year🔥 but to each their own
What is the difference in picture quality between the u8k 65 and 75 inch
I truly appreciate you taking the time with each brand, diving into each ones settings objectively and bringing forth a very succinct conclusion. Which is why I trust your TV reviews over all others ( including Caleb and Fomo ) .

I have color banding through HDMI on my 55 inch U8H. I am considering having a larger TCL QM8 but I am concerned of this color banding issue. Have you seen any of this color banding through HDMI on either the U8K or QM8? Thank you
Yes!!!! Finally!!!!!! 🙌🏽
Would appreciate a breakdown of gaming specs/abilities and short comings! And how compares to u8h, appreciate your work dude, thanks for all the insight you provide i trust your videos
Which one to pick for gaming?
Will hook up my PS3, PS5 and PC
Wanted to play HDR with VRR on.
Hisense just got an update. Installing now
I'm so torn between these 2 TVs. I have to maintain a budget but looking for 75" due to the size of the living room. Perhaps a TV like last years LG Evo C2? I know some good deals are right around the corner with black friday coming soon.
No big deal. This is just exactly one of the three videos I needed to see in order to make my purchase. Please do LG G2 vs. C3, and/or both of the above vs. C2/3.
You’re the best in the space. Thanks, dude.
That said, ugh and admit. I demand a great picture, HATE motion artifacts, but don’t really give much of a shit about brightness and never play video games….
So… I need to pay up for an LG OLED? If so, fine. But… Last year’s S95b, 55” LG C3, 55” LG G2… Wait for bargain bin LG C2.
How does anyone ever decide?
Not sure if it's been asked out here already but have you gotten a look at the 75 inch Hisense u8k with the ADS- pro screen? My 65" 2019 LG OLED that screen issues and I have a $1,700 credit from Best buy and I'm leaning towards the 75 " Hisense but I haven't really seen any reviews on that size and I know the screen is different than the rest. Thanks
Would you still recommend the Hisense at the 75 inch size? Hisense is ADS at the size while the tcl is Va.
Thats the set/size I'm interested in as well. ADS/IPS can apparently have good black levels now. Caleb Dennison talked a little about it in his S90C review if i'm remembering right.
Currently have a 65H9F and trying to make this very choice. You pegged the key issues making this difficult. Really would prefer the 10bit panel of the QM8 but the lack of color control and QA is concerning. Use a HTPC with a Denon 3800H AVR sourced from a Nvidia RTX and will want to verify no HDMI/CEC issues or issues with 4K/120hz 10bit YCbCr 4:4:4 and if that's possible at 40Gb/s through the Denon. Wiki indicates up to 10bit 4K/144hz YCbCr 4:4:4 should be possible at 39.19Gb/s.
If I’m choosing one specifically to play PS5 games and watch the occasional movie..which is the better gaming tv?
I’m in a need of a 75 inch. Would QM8 be better PQ wise over U8K since Hisense is an IPS panel at that size? I need this for dark room viewing so things like black levels and no blooming are important.
As someone from the UK, I am of the understanding that UK models don't have the same Specs as US models, and have less features. So would the TCL then be the best option and better TV in the UK market
So the hisense is an 8 bit panel and the tcl is a 10 bit panel, is there that much of a drastic difference in color reproduction between the 2? I own the 75" U8K and don't want to feel like I'm missing out on a big difference for $100 or $200 difference between the 2 at the same size
In 99% of normal use cases, no. The U8K is 8bit+FRC so it can reproduce the same colors as a 10 bit through some trickery. If you are doing high end color correction on your PC or trying to dial in master level calibration you won't get the same as a native 10 bit panel. Very close, but not 100%. However, the QM8 has it's own problems where even if it is native 10 bit color the PQ EOTF tracking is weird so it either blows out highlights or is dimmer than it should be. If you are a gamer consider the U8K as the QM8 handles VRR in an odd manner by certain threshold brackets so if you're not hitting a certain FPS it's really bad looking.
Lets go! This should determine if im trading my u7g for the u8h
QTV Would you take this Hisense U8K over a QN90B (both are 75") and are priced the same?
Im having trouble deciding which to buy hisense u8k tcl qm8 or splurge on lg c3? Hisense is 900 bucks on walmart right now so idk 🤷♂️
Do you have settings for the U8K? If so, can you send me a link to join I plan on getting the tv this weekend. It’s $1000 off right now.
Are you going to do a calibration video for u8k?
In Germany the Hisense U8K in 75 inch is 1800 € and the Tcl Qm8 in 75 inch is 2400 € . Tcl would have bin my choice but not for 600€ more :(
If I just watch sports and play video games which set should I go with
I actually prefer the Hisense remote for it's ability to stand upright.
Weird, out of the 3 channels that I usually trust this was the only one to give U8K that many wins in that many categories. I suppose my quest continues...
Which tv is better at upscailing Sdr or cable tv content?
The HiSense U8K has the better processor for upscaling...
between the u8k being $800 new and the c2 being $1100 open box at my local best buy which one would you lean towards, i love to game on my pc and ps5 on my tv. but i never owned an oled and i kinda fearful of the burn in deal, im good for falling asleep with the game on pause late night LOL.
The u8k since your scared of burn in which will always happen eventually, the uk8 the black level is almost oled and unless side by side you most likely wont see the difference
Nice review. I wonder what rtings will say about these tvs
which one would be better for a high end gaming PC 120+ fps on 4k
Can you tell me wich one has the better viewing angle
This is what I am waiting for ❤Love Q TV
Do any of these tvs have the option to Screen Size Adjust that will allow players to rescale the display within a smaller area on the screen? I've heard that Sony is rolling out with this feature for newer models in their next update.
LG C2 or the TCL QM8 ?
And which one better for console gaming?
What’s a good all around for hockey, football, formula 1 and some gaming I have a high attention to detail so I need very good motion as well as the best picture quality possible for under 2k if possible but could go to 3 for a 70+ inch. Recommendations?
QM8. Much brighter and better motion.
My u8k has this light thumping sound coming from the speakers at all times even when off, this isn't supposed to happen right ?
With the TCL QM8, is it true that when switching the color space from Auto to Native, the color will be more saturated?
Is there an option to resize display on either of the TVs. Wanted use a single display for close and far off use
The biggest issue....you can't get the U8K in an 85" yet.
I was hoping you would hit on the gaming side of tge 2 what one was better
For netflix and hbo and sports which tv you recommend?
Quantum… ips panel U8k 85 inch or av panel QM8 85 inch?…I know you like 55 and 65 inch , but just wanting to hear your opinion on the 85 inch… my 85 inch Qm8 sometimes doesn’t seem as clear as other times… anyway… I am happy with it and I enjoy your uploads
Wait was his U8K messed up? How the hell could the TCL on board speakers out produce, 2 upfiring and 2 downfiring along with a built in Sub on the U8K that doesnt seem possible with an atmos or dd plus sound source?
Thanks bro for always having a honest opinion 👍 great job 👏
Good video what about the Hisense u8g
Why not do a side by side with the QM8?
What one for Football and streaming?!
Top notch review as always!
does an hdmi cable even provide 10 bit color?
Quantum can you please make a review for the Samsung q60c
Also where did you get your ps5 skin
Ok so maybe someone an help. I can get a q7 65 for 699 or a Hisense 55 u8k for 799. I know it’s not the same as the qm8 but the tcl is bigger than the hisense and I heard the tcl brand is better. Any Advice ?
The U8K will have better picture quality (color/lower blooming). However, if you want a bigger size, then go with the TCL QM7.
If you watch mostly in a bright room go for the Hisense otherwise the q7 will be better and bigger
Is the qn90b better than these two?
Definitely no. 90b is good👍
@srihithkarri4529 the qn90b is better?
So you saying to buy a Sony?
Is hisense good for sports?
hello, any chance to see a comparison between U7K and Q7?
I’d like to see that too
Does hisense u8k have HGIG?
What about the European version with Vidaa OS?
Hisense as the better speaker by far
I’ve compare my U8H with the QM8. The motion was MUCH better on the U8H. The motion is HORRIBLE on the QM8. Hopefully this gets fixed through and update…or maybe I had a bad QM8. I had to return my TCL to the store.
U88KM all the way!
Final verdict on hisense brightness? How many nits?
Pretty sure he has another video where he tests it. It hit 1496 nits I think it was peak.
i have the hisense u8k, the brightness is ridiculous i have to turn it down, its get way to bright. my brightness is on 85% out of 100 if you want i can email you a short video clip of it.
Do you need to pay a pro to calibrate the colors in the u8k?
If you don't have a Calman 4k calibration system YES you will need to pay...and it's not cheap for a really good calibrater to come in your house to do it...That's even if you can find one in your area...Quantum does give out calibration settings if you join for $5.99
@@petedetraglia4776 My apple tv calibrated My u8k with my iphone!!! and the colors are absolutely amazing you can literally use you apple tv and iphone to calibrate any tv.
It sorta sucks that when reviewing these tv you compare only the smaller sizes. Most of us buying these TV are looking for 85 to 100" tvs but no review of these larger sizes. The biggest thing is the price of the 98" and 100". The Hisense U89K is $2k to $3k less money than the QM8
Hisense wins the gaming side tcl goes movies
Yes tcl slammed them this year
Doubt it. rtings review for the qm8 is out and its not all roses for them.
I just wish these 2 brands would bring their good products to europe.
The models sold here often carry the same name but are very different.
In Europe TCL and Hisense are absolute dogshit unfortunately.
Excuse me friend , what country do u live that they CANT have the HISENSE n TCL??? Form what I KNOW HIsense UX (cloud 9 tv) come in 65” 75” 85” somethign like 100” in UK, Germany Fin etc. they were sold out in UK MONTHS AGo. N U8KQ n n TCL last year 935, this year 845 all great in EU. The EU models are EVEN NICEr than US model.
So what are u getting THAT opinion from? If u get that from ppl ranting. It’s prob better time to stop. N please do not talk smack on ppls videos. Not cool.
