All this Chinese, the tcl panel comes apart but gusense has 60 hrtz unless you go to the u8,this is america,we need to get rid of Chinese electronics,they mess up and are cheaply made
Dude literally said at the beginning of the video that the tcl has better contrast and as soon the video starts the comparison on picture quality it showed the Hisense having better contrast. So which is it dude? The Hisense or tcl have better contrast? At least be honest
At the beginning of the video we specifically mention that the 75" U8K has an ADS Pro panel which gives it worse contrast than the 65" model that we fully tested and showcased in this video!
The Hisense has 1 panel among 55” 65” 75” 85” 110” , only 75” has ADS-PRO (still very high contrasted , 2x of contrast ratio of common ADS). So he said that 75” has worse contrast than the 55” 65” 85” 100” ones. Cuz those use VA panels (Traditional VA good contrast but u have to sit directly in front of tv not at til angle. (Slight tilt is okay). Its not worse much tho. Its like saying “my friend she’s shorter than me”. Ppl will think its shave off 1-3inch. Gut liteally can turn out to be 0.3-0.5 inch. But its sill bullet prof they will still have higher contrast than those Sony x93L. No fail.

I have the qm8 have the Sony x95K on the way which was double the price. 75" models. Qm8 is a stellar TV. Just wanted to own a high end Sony but my gut is telling me the Sony will not be that much better at least not double the price better
I looked at the Tcl image and it looked very good. I would have liked to buy TCL, but from what I understood, the upscaling is very poor. I bought the G4 anyway. If the upscaling had been good, I would have bought the TCL.
The 65” screen size is 1.4X of 55” . The 55” will be fine. The SONY X90L at 55” has like 53 maybe 58 local dimming zone. . Yeah I am talking about x90L. Its pathetic. Do NOT even let sales ppl try to pull attention to “upscaling upscaling bs” lol. 😝

I own both the 85” TCL QM8(guest bedroom) and just got the 100” U8K (living room) for $2999. I love both and agree the TCL is certainly brighter and its remote is backlit, which is amazing. Video games on both whether it’s Xbox series X, PS five and switch has been phenomenal. I tend to favor the hundred inch since it’s in our living room. After being spoiled by the hundred inches I can’t go back to anything smaller than 85.

From what I understand, television sets above 65 in will have the image getting pixelated and stretched out. If anyone else has information on this please leave it.

@@Yoga_Tv_buying they literally said the samsung s90c is better at upscaling and it's even on their website. 8.0 for the Samsung and 7.5 for the Hisense. your bias is showing.
Rtings own website about--UPscaling “ Our test uses a 480p video with a non-square (anamorphic) pixel aspect ratio. Even though we're using a 480p signal, the results of this test are valid for any low-resolution or low-bitrate source, like DVDs or cable TV channels. As the quality of the signal increases, the sharpness processing of the TV is less important, though, as the TV doesn't have to work as hard to produce a nice image. Even going up to 1080p can make a huge difference, as most modern TVs do very little processing on 1080p signals like Blu-rays, so issues that are exposed with a 480p signal aren't as obvious.”

Right now, on German Amazon, the 65" TCL QM8 is 300€ cheaper than the Hisense U8k, so I guess I go with that one 🤷♂

@@xuimod that maybe true idk if it is or not but I have a series x and ps5 so I need both my 120 and 144 hertz hdmi so it’s the convenience of havin a separate port for my sound bar so I can get that full Dolby atmos

This Review is Not accurate. TCL'S eARC supports whatever your Audio Receiver supports. If you have a 11.4.4 this TCL TV will support it.
The work is done in the Receiver Not in the TV.
If you are Streaming Content 90% of what you Stream is Dolby 5.1. Dolby 5.1 has been the standard for decades for every major studio. The Latest Movies still have Dolby 5.1.
I own both the 85” TCL QM8(guest bedroom) and just got the 100” U8K (living room) for $2999. I love both and agree the TCL is certainly brighter and its remote is backlit, which is amazing. Video games on both whether it’s Xbox series X, PS five and switch has been phenomenal. I tend to favor the hundred inch since it’s in our living room. After being spoiled by the hundred inches I can’t go back to anything smaller than 85.
We got a 110" Samsung Micro LED TV last year and are picking up an even bigger one this year. That's being spoiled, I'd say your choices were more reasonable and economical. Spoiled though, nope.
@@vgnvideogameninja2930 yup $3000 for the 100” was a no brainer.
@@vgnvideogameninja2930😊BRAVO 🎉for your Micro LED.
Dont try to pretend u are NOT One uppping the 100” guy. He’s smart getting that u8K 100” . If at 14’-16’
Far enough Zoom out . There really is NO significant difference in visual. But he can save that $130000 he can bank to buy Tesla Y series n go for Vacations yo. :):):) 😊 Wise. 🎊
Stay in your TV lane, friend. Enjoy your Micro.
Cheers. d other guy is trigered because u STOLE his Thunder. 100” n 85” double Down!!! 😅
@@Yoga_Tv_buying lol I actually have the Model Y, waiting for my Cybertruck! And honestly that’s cool he has the 110”!
Hello, is QM model same as C845 in Europe?
Unfortunately not. Our review only applies to North American models. Sorry about that!
There basically the same tv side by side you would struggle to see a difference
I'm still using my KS8000. I wanna upgrade but it still looks great to me when gaming on PS5. Are any of these TV"s truly big jumps?
From what I understand, television sets above 65 in will have the image getting pixelated and stretched out.
If anyone else has information on this please leave it.
Are you saying the EARC port on the TCL only puts out 2 channel audio? That's a really big deal. No wonder the EARC port is not utilizing an HDMI 2.1 port.
You can output eARC signals on a non HDMI 2.1 port. HDMI 2.0b will work with eARC just fine
@@AdamCate That literally has nothing to do with what he asked.
TCL are EARC, the reviewer got it wrong.
poor upscaling on both tv's is a pass for me
Not true dude. Hisense U8K has same rating exactly as Samsung S89C n S90C. What are u goign to say about those 2?😂😂😂
@@Yoga_Tv_buying they literally said the samsung s90c is better at upscaling and it's even on their website. 8.0 for the Samsung and 7.5 for the Hisense. your bias is showing.
Rtings own website about--UPscaling “ Our test uses a 480p video with a non-square (anamorphic) pixel aspect ratio. Even though we're using a 480p signal, the results of this test are valid for any low-resolution or low-bitrate source, like DVDs or cable TV channels. As the quality of the signal increases, the sharpness processing of the TV is less important, though, as the TV doesn't have to work as hard to produce a nice image. Even going up to 1080p can make a huge difference, as most modern TVs do very little processing on 1080p signals like Blu-rays, so issues that are exposed with a 480p signal aren't as obvious.”
ALL the --TV TESTING UPscaling are USING Material --🤠480P content. ALL Rtings.
Its like BUYING 2024 PC---“lets RATE which PC can run 2004 Windows XP BEST, so in case your UNCLE still use that”
MOST PPL very fixated on UPSCALING usualy the ones need antenna tv like they live in remote area NO cable tv. So they Might get 720P, Most in Air broadcasting has been 1080P but depends WHAT county n area they live. N or the Cable provider still doing 720P. I dont think so in 2024. But who knows.
IF u use U8K Qm8 1080P--IT LOOKS 4K.
ALL-UPSCALING STATES. Are by TV Rugus mostly born in the Early 80s or 70s or earlier that they HAVE hundreds of Saved up -DVD/Blue Ray Movie collection. A LOT- of DVDs 📀 r 480P, 🙈720P ….👀
UNLESS u are into like REALLY OLD REALLY REaLLY REALLY OLD movies like our parents or grandparents generation. The old school. It wont affect u at all. U8K Qm8 all the 1080P will --Look 4K. !
@@cybererik1 dude they have Adjusted the findings after Rtings Fine tone their report. They used to have S90C u8k the same.
Just like if u exam 2 months ago A95L n S90C were on the -SAME color Volor Level.
Today, A95L Color volume went 0.2 up , became 0.1 Ahead of S95C. N S90C went up 0.1, now match S95C.
I fallowed their late 2023 stats. Just like I willl fallow theri 2024 tweaked version.
Why are you reviewing one year old TVs? Also your presenters are not really that good. Your management needs replacing.
I think you need to be replaced too bud
Aren't you just a miserable little fella.
@@treyscattitan7616 Dude ain't wrong - this video should have been released 6-7 months ago like all of their other competitors. Look at Digital Trends. They did a much better video with much more in-depth details. And oh yeah, the QM8 won.
Banderson=Idiot😅
I-sense , ok
In Spanish, then H is silent! /s
e is french, "h" is ard 😂
@@SayAhhyeah yeah , I agree. U made such good comment. Like I had landlord named Havior. N turn out to be Xavior. N that--X 😂. ME n my roommate were “LMAO” dying , saw the H was X, kept calling him “Ax avior” 😂😂😂😂 now I wonder what ---Xisense , will sound like in Spanish :):):) just passing thought. Dont laugh. 🤭 🎉
TCL is trash. i bought a highly rated one and it just has lots of little quirky issues. randomly the sound stops, certain apps wont work properly every time, etc. id never buy one again
If it wasn't the qm8, then it was trash.
I had a TCL and it was fantastic. Now, who should everyone believe, you or me?
@@spenceralridge4958 they can believe whatever they want. It's my primary TV, I have every reason to want to love it and not lie about how bad it is. Maybe I'll get lucky and they will fix issues with firmware update in the future
tcl and hisense is better than xiaomi, changhong, cocaaa.
i have samsung and LG in apartm, and try to buy tcl and hisense for another house.
suprisingly in the same price range, tcl and hisense is better in picture quality, smooth and more feature. all my tv are 4K.
😄
TCL software and build quality is horrendous.
Not True!!!! 🛑 Stop Trolling.
@@JesusSavesSinners Mabye they've improved since I last bought one.
