Forget EVERYTHING you saw about the U7K on the livestream because after another 12 hours of break-in, it completely changed for the better. Filmmaker is now nearly equivalent to U8H and QM8 in overall brightness, ran the scenes in FMM. Brightness is nearly on par in with the other 2 TVs, and the only exceptions are slightly less contrast and lifted black bars as seen in the Greatest Showman "sparkly hat" scene. I will continue to let it break in to see if things get even better but WOW. For TVs the break-in period is absolutely necessary!

[@Dhughe9]

Any chance a firmware update can or will correct the lifted black bars?! My only gripe with the u7k is light bleed even on black bars with local dimming in high even. Doesn’t make a difference 😪

[@m.o545]

How did the things you've mentioned have gotten better? Is it because of a new software update or is it because you changed something in the settings?

[@JtotheRizzo]

Saving this video just for the settings portion! 😂 Getting the U7K for sure! Thanks guys!

[@josephgomez8320]

I bought a u7k a few months and completely regret the purchase. The clarity is terrible no .matter what settings I put it on. My brother I. Law also bought the TV and was banging his head trying to adjust the picture. I ended up buying a x90l day and night difference in terms of contrast, motion and clarity. Now I'm stuck with the u7k sitting in my garage

[@ihatemytown]

I’m so impressed with the QM8. I can’t wait to see your full review. It might be replacing my Sony X900H very soon

[@jmorris20012001]

I am replacing my X900H as we speak. It was hard to justify the purchase as the Sony is great!

[@flow685]

FOMO you must have the greatest U8H on production floor. The picture quality is just amazing and no matter what it goes up against it’s a winner.

[@stopthefomo]

It’s calibrated!

[@mainajoseph2680]

Do you offer ways of calibration

[@dickellis4635]

FOMO, when you get the U8K in and do a comparison review, will you please address upscaling? I have heard several reports that Hisense and TCL upscaling suffers. I watch a lot of KZbin, Netflix, etc, and don’t want to buy a tv that has an upscaling problem. Thanks in advance for considering this request.

[@stopthefomo]

Will do

[@1Aquadon]

I second this.. as well as please include 4k/blu ray aspect ratio adjusting in your reviews

Thanks FOMO. You did a great job just putting all 3 tv's up and letting the comments fly. Thanks to Brian too. Liked wathing as you go through the settings seeing the effects of each. After you put the u7k in standard picture mode it looked better than the other 2 from here. Wonder what if all were in standard mode. Wonder what the 65u8k will cost. and how much it will be different than the u8h? Looking forward to future videos. Keep on giving us good honest reviews and keep up the good work.

[@birdtj82]

Nice colab. Thx 🙏🏼 again for the good content ! 😊

[@user-oq4rm5ci9p]

Hisense U7K is a rival of TCL Q7. It would be interesting to compare them side by side.

[@fservid920]

I agree with this as well, also I know your U8H was calibrated but you had the brightness set much lower while the U7k was maxed out, I think I saw 80% on the U8H, the higher nit HDR would've benefited from 100

[@tigerbalm666]

Saw the U7K in person...my next TV! Design is amazing as well as specs! Oh, and price is unbelievable! Reaally!

[@markhoward3803]

We're getting our 75 inch U7K tomorrow. We can't wait!!!!!

[@fullhd5277]

Hard to judge ; it's different from scene to scene and color to color , I think for 650$ the hisense u7k on standard mode is the best among all tvs available in the world ,, but if money is not a concern the tcl here looks better overall .

[@gowithjames3165]

I bought the 85” qm8 from Best Buy based on your stream at $2200… it should be here Saturday… let me know if I need to return it for the U8K 😂😂😂

[@gowithjames3165]

Placement: bright living room with floor to ceiling windows, watching football and hockey/Netflix and Disney+/ Nintendo switch…. I use the Apple TV (2021). Seats in front 13-18ft away and seats on side 7-10ft away.

[@travisylvania6730]

Please report back to us with how it looks and how the blooming control on the 85 inch is. I’m seriously considering this TV

[@chrisgarciart]

I’m also curious 👀

[@hutchrt0596]

I needed the QM8 to have a 55" just for me to maybe afford it! Fever is here now to upgrade my older TCL R6 55"

[@michaelwyckoff7593]

I like Dolby Vision bright myself.

[@WildReefer]

Regarding Visio, much like cars, there aren't that many "bad" TV's today for mainstream consumers. Not truly bad anyway, as more advanced features trickle down to the budget sector. Maybe bad isn't as bad as it used to be basically.

[@requiemgod1]

I got a 2021 Vizio p series . Already having issues . Picture isn't the same anymore . Had good features for Xbox gaming . 2 years isn't enough for a 1300 dollar tv

[@shoopypit4884]

Daaamn. Especially their higher end model at that. Should at least be 4 years imo

[@Alice.59]

maybe you could throw a high end oled in the comparison, you have a free place top right, like that people could see the difference between high end oled and mid tier led, we don't see a lot of comparison like that

[@thetasfo]

65in shootout :QM8 -$900, U8K - $900, X90L - $1100... which wins?

[@EdmundMyers]

Stop the FOMO: What about the Hisence UX 85 With 2,500 Nits, 20,000 mini led's, 5000 local dimming zones. Everyone seems very quiet about reviewing this TV. It might just blow away any Samsung, Lg and Sony out of the water! The 85 inch monster is currently selling for $4,999 at Best Buy, Amazon and Walmart. Who will be the first to review this extremely promising TV?

[@shanechesterfield6808]

What big screen TV is best. Hisense 100 u7k or Sony 98 x90l ? 🤔

[@chrisgarciart]

QM8 is priced $2200 for 85” is this a better choice over Sony a90j at the same price for 65”? 👀

[@Dhughe9]

Duh

[@michaelwyckoff7593]

Great live stream buddy

[@DavidBrown-eo3hw]

Great video. Any chance of a Q7 vs U7k vs U8k vs QM8 video? Im trying to decide between the 4 tvs. Thanks.

[@michaelwyckoff7593]

Wonder why TCL has only one Miniled? Hisense are all miniled right?

[@milospavic]

Hi Do you think TCL 65 805 is better than Hisense u7k 65"?

[@stephendrysielski8052]

Mr. Fomo: What would you recco? Hisense 75” U7K -$999 Or 75” U8H- $1199 Using it with Apple TV 4K (3rd generation) Thanks!

[@OulyHussain]

UK price UH8 £699 UK7 £699 Which should I buy??

[@user-ld6lo7vd1i]

great video as usual. FOMO which tv would you recommend the TCL QM8 or the Sony x95l. Thank you. Peter

[@cosmincraciun4810]

if i had to choose btw those tv's what you will sugest ? U7K ; The 8818 Philios or Samsung Q60C ?

[@JFLTX]

Fomo you gonna review the uledx?

[@Bruno-ry3pg]

I was hoping to see the 480 upscaling difference

[@KAT-pi3pk]

Mr. FOMO - You make an interesting point starting at 2:28:30 answering a question about which TV to get for those mostly watching 720p cable/streaming content, which was that one of SONY's strengths is how well it upscales and smooths out motion from 720p content. Any thoughts on a SONY that would be in the U7K price range? X85K?

[@stopthefomo]

Sony X85K is a solid TV for that use - I'd get it for that reason

[@khoale4755]

We dont have the TCL QM8 in Australia, we have the c845, are these the same tv's just diff. model numbers?

[@bobbycrowe5]

Not sure if a comment on a stream this old will even be on your radar, but I'm looking to replace a 60" Samsung plasma that I bought in 2009. I have noticed in comparison with other TVs that mine is looking darker overall in comparison to newer TVs and I don't seem to be able to strike a good balance between accurate skin colors and colors being too vivid (if that makes any sense at all). I have Spectrum cable and we stream Amazon Prime, Disney, and other services from an Apple TV box. No gaming at all on this TV, mostly watch sports and movies and would like to bump up to 85". I would really like for it to perform really well right out of the box (if that's even a thing) because I'm not very knowledgeable about the different settings and would like to spend $2,000.00 or less and am willing to wait until Black Friday deals. Based on what I'll be using it for, do you have a TV that you would recommend?

[@sonasewgolam559]

proper comparison U8K TO QM8

[@24hourgmtchannel64]

My 2020 65" H9G's bluetooth is on the fritz and Best Buy has been out twice and replaced both the main and wi-fi card. Standard IR remote still works. He left advising he with do some homework and call me in a few days but it looks like they are going to junk it out. So I will have a $950 + tax credit and have been thinking of going a bit bigger with the U8H 75". With the new releases now what to do? Wait for the U8K or buy the U8H 75"?

[@meowmixes98]

How would the TCL Q7 fare against the H7K?

[@TheReverendSlim]

Was your QM8 using the beta firmware they were sending out to fix the dimming issues? Update should be going wide soon, but I wasn't sure if you had already gotten it.

[@MrJnapkid]

Not all gamers have deep pockets.

[@elchappo1320]

Ok. I dont have 2.5 hours available to watch this. What is the summary?

[@believeingood5875]

U7K the best

[@meowmixes98]

Does Hisense have a much better chip inside this year? New image software?

[@Dhughe9]

Yup

[@ronniehardison8712]

All,is perfect out here.!,,

[@user-oq4rm5ci9p]

It looks good except black bars performance. Fomo is TCL Q7 better in control of black bars tnan U7K?

[@Dhughe9]

I sadly do believe so. That’s my only gripe with this tv!! I own it and great besides light bleed to black bars

[@dn7z]

[@oxy84]

[@AP-hn8wd]

Best TV under $1000 is the 55” Sony A90J at $999 if it’s still available. There are a few left at some Best Buys. Look around and get lucky.

[@stopthefomo]

Agreed but some people are still afraid or need 75” which gives better immersion and would be $1000 for u7K

[@Synistercrayon]

Yup! It's true. My wife asked for 10 more inches

[@Bruno-ry3pg]

​@@Synistercrayon 😏

[@Synistercrayon]

@@Bruno-ry3pg hey, look...I dunno where your head is...but I'm talking about tvs here😜

[@AP-hn8wd]

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@stopthefomo totally, I was just talking about the quality of the TV itself being under $1000. The only caveat was being 55” and I know it’s just a size smaller than the now standard average of 65” but in the coming years, it will move up to 75”

[@DJSteezy]

Hi FOMO- the QN90B from last year at 75” is the same price as TCLs QM8. Which would you recommend? Or are they fairly similar in picture quality?

[@jsbgaming6585]

They are fairly similar but qm8 has better color accuracy

[@Mulletforhire]

The blacks on the qn90b are absolutely amazing, so close to OLED but the menu is the worst, I can't believe how bad it is. I find it's a bit heavy on the green saturation, use mine as a monitor as well and I love the picture quality.

[@michaelzoran]

I find it very disturbing that the U8K is so much more expensive than the U8H. The U8K is literally 50% more expensive than the U8H. At Best Buy the U8K has the absurd MSRP of $2299. For that price, there is NO WAY I would consider buying the U8K. One of the reasons the U8H was good was the U8H sold for $1,500. U8K should be selling for that same price. U8H is now only $1,399 or less at places.

[@ronnie3206]

You can buy the U8h for $850 to $900 bucks. I have it and it is well worth the price!

[@michaelzoran]

@@ronnie3206 That may be for a smaller version. The U8H I was referring to is the 75" version of the U8H. It was recently on sale for $1,399 at Best Buy. Unfortunately, Best Buy's insurance policy is INSANELY OVERPRICED TOO HIGH.

[@arash7even]

Do they support 4k 120hz with dolby vision enabled like Lg tvs?

[@stopthefomo]

Dunno yet, but it’s not working too well on LG TVs so it’s not a thing

[@albertol9654]

​@stopthefomo LGs? Don't the OLEDs have 120 hz and great for ps5 gaming. I have the C1 and it's the best TV I've ever owned.

[@gregorylynch9313]

[@darkelipse04]

Fan of the content but can’t afford to sit and watch for two and a half hours+.

[@madmoicano]

U8H has 160 zones and U7K 384.... that difference is abismal, how can U7K be so bad?

[@PacificOceanQuest]

I don’t know where you’re getting your information from but the U8H has 528 dimming zones not 160

[@Gurka9999]

Why are you doing comparisons on detail in specular highlights and blooming control with Active Contrast on High??? That is not even close to an apples-to-apples comparison. Of course the U7Ks specular highlight detail will be worse when your blowing them out completely with Active Contrast... Blooming control also, Active Contrast very noticeably crushes blacks, comparing blooming will then obviously favor the U7K with crushed blacks. Had to fast forward to 2 hours in to get back to some proper comparison with Acrive Contrast off. Also, DTM On/Off toggle is literally the same thing as Active/Static. Active is DTM. Static is DTM Off... How the TVs DTM compare is a different story, but it's not valid criticism for "less choice". Really disappointing stream.

[@stopthefomo]

I understand your frustration BUT this is literally the first time I turned on the TV, it’s not a final review where I’ve spent hours comparing all the variations so in that context we’re discovering this TV together. By the end we have a better understanding of all the settings

[@herbmatthews4961]

[@jman3081]

People I urge you not to take Brian's advice or so called "expertise" regarding TCL and hisense. He don't review those brands. He even said in this video "big boys" speaking of LG,Sony and Samsung. He isn't gonna give tcl and hisense the time of day. Notice he's asking fomo a lot of questions regarding TCL and hisense. Dude has no business trying to give advice on what people should buy

[@isaiahang6739]

To be fair to Brian, despite his inclinations for the more established brands, he does say near the end of the video that at the sub $1000 he would consider the U7K a must buy. He understands not everyone wants or can spend a couple thousands on a flagship miniLED and considers these solid models for the budget minded/restricted consumer.

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

Whatever you say, jman! I expect them to compete! They should be in stores. I will be reviewing them in a few weeks. I spent 3 hours of my time with this model. I give them a fair shake every year. They are very good for the money. I simply explained why I won't personally buy one. Thank you for the wonderful comment.

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

​@Isaiah Ang thank you for actually listening to the stream . Appreciate it!
