[@Caleb_Denison]

Hey everyone! When I wrote the review, the TV was on sale for $700. It is, as I write THIS, $800. Adjust the calculus accordingly. Aside from that, what are your thoughts?

[@spookyman9994]

Fantastic review as usual 👍🏼 But i ask you to check out Sharp Aquos Xled , it has 11 built in speakers with 2000 micro led . Please review it 🙏🏼

[@renegadewolf2488]

Is there a way for your average guy without calibration equipment to save this tv ? Through some basic adjustments?

[@Sami.the.auto.advisor]

@@renegadewolf2488u may try the settings from RTing, but every TV is different so don’t expect it to be perfect.

[@Sami.the.auto.advisor]

Just to let everyone know, the 75” U8K version of the Hisense TVs uses the ADS Pro panels that are not like the older generation IPS panels. ADS or Advanced Plane-to-Line Switching: The infrastructure of the ADS panel is the same as PLS or Plane-to-Line Switching. In this, the liquid crystals lie along the same plane always, like IPS displays. ADS is different from IPS because it uses a longitudinal electric field and a transverse electric field for parallel liquid crystal movement.

[@amnesiacv2]

Echoing my comment below, I paid $999 for the 75" and as a "casual enthusiast" who watches mostly HDR/Dolby Vision content and games I have very little issues with the set. Your complaints are accurate but true AV enthusiasts are already likely locked on to an OLED or a miniLED.

[@m1ghtysauc397]

This reminds me of the time a friend came over and just stood there staring at my tv while rattling off all the specs of the tv he had. I said “yeah I went in Best Buy and picked the one that looked the best.” He looked at me like I was crazy.

[@steve4765630]

Just got my Q7 65" at my local Best Buy "open box", but mint for $449.99. Love it. For that price it was a no brainer for a huge upgrade over my 10 year old LG LCD. My PS5 at 120hz looks incredible.

[@KH-zz8tm]

[@percysowner]

Well as a 70 year old who will be upgrading from an almost 10 year old Vizio 1080p TV, this sounds like what I need. I mean, my eyes aren't what they were and the upgrade will be so significant that by comparison this will seem great. Thanks for the review.

[@afr1952]

This will blow that old Vizio 1080p TV away. You'll see colors and contrast you never saw on a tv before. Get it while you can still enjoy it! I'm 71 myself and appreciate your situation. My previous HD TV was a Vizio 1080p also. I've got a 2019 TCL 55 inch 4K 6 series still going strong. Hope to move up to a QM8 next year if my vision holds out.

[@Sas-wk9lj]

[@olternaut]

FINALLY! I've been waiting for this review for months!

[@michaelfrey348]

Thanks for the review! Checking this TV out as I am replacing an older Smart LG that can't support You Tube TV, which I believe does

[@Drakus2010]

I was waiting for your review before I bought it. I went ahead and bought it. I love it so far. Nothing to complain about. I just bought it cause it's 4k 120 HDMI 2.1 price was good I got the 55 inch for 600 after tax For my room. The negatives you mention don't bother me cause I upgraded from a 4 or 5 year old regular tv. So it looks perfect to me .

[@Caleb_Denison]

Excellent! I was keeping folks like you in mind when I did this review - I don’t want to scare everyone off from a potentially great TV match, but I have to call out stuff when I see it as well. It’s a thin tightrope to walk! I’m glad you’re enjoying the new TV!

[@user-pu6sg7ih8r]

I originally purchased the Samsung Q60 since it was on sale for Black Friday. My Hisense QLED from a few years ago developed some sick screen burn. My hope was to get an upgrade or at least equal value to that TV. After a week with the Samsung and doing more research, including reviews like this one, I returned it for the TCL. I was worried since I figured Samsung is the best, and perhaps they are in some areas. I am so glad I got this TV so far. After some calibration, the picture is amazing! For the value, it’s an excellent choice and I would recommend it for sure. I certainly like the picture more than the Samsung. Features are easy to use and the remote has a backlight which is pretty dope. Don’t sleep on this one!

[@olternaut]

For the price and the overall incredible value this TV provides, I can live with the flaws. I would say I'm somewhere in between the average consumer and a tech nerd. I'm willing to compromise if I can get most of the features I need from the QM8 series baked into the Q7. For under $1000 for the 75 inch Q7 you're getting more features and performance than the comparable older 6 series 75 inch that used to be between $1300 - $1500. Those flaws that you are pointing out is TCL trying to really aggressively lower the cost of the product so they can have something to attack the market with. I can live with the flaws. So I'm going to target the Q7 for a November Black Friday purchase.

[@jeseramirez9852]

I’m debating on saving some money and getting the q6. Should I spend a lil more and just get the q7?

[@olternaut]

@@jeseramirez9852 Get the Q7 because it's 2024 now and the new...NEW products are already rushing to market. The Q7 will become even more discounted. In fact, don't wait. Just get it. Me however, I've decided to take a different path....dun dun dahhhh!

[@rreichar1]

Interesting review! Aligns perfectly with Andrew Robinson’s. I do wonder if the issues could be addressed in firmware?

[@LeezahB]

Very well done review! Fair-handed but honest. Oh, and the audio was good.

[@ModeMan101]

Thanks for the really honest review, Caleb. I bought a 55" Q7 a couple of months ago (replacing a 7-year-old TCL P605) and I'm happy with it overall for the price I paid. Despite working in post-production, I'm thankfully not a nit nerd in my spare time, but I still appreciate a decent picture and I do think the Q7 is good value for a mid-range budget TV. Contrast, as you said, is very impressive for a FALD set, and its gaming features are a nice bonus. However, If I had space for a 65" in my living room, I probably would have gone for a QM8. To be honest though, most of the issues I have with the Q7 center around the vagueness of some of the menu settings for picture control in terms of what they do - which I'm guessing is going to be mirrored on the QM8 as they share the same image processor, as well as Google TV OS. I'm also disappointed in Dolby Vision IQ mode forcing motion smoothing to be on, a shame as it actually does a pretty good job of enhancing darker areas of picture in some House Of The Dragon-type scenarios.

[@Caleb_Denison]

Thanks for the awesome feedback. I am also frustrated by motion smoothing being on by default in IQ. You can turn it off I believe. But I’m starting to hear that some Q7’s out there aren’t holding on to user settings, which is worriesome. Give it a try, though. It might stick!

[@ModeMan101]

@@Caleb_Denison Cheers for the reply, Caleb! Sadly, as far as I know you can only turn off the motion smoothing in the Dolby Bright/Dark modes, not IQ. The option just isn't there when you bring up the picture settings under IQ. Whether that's by TCL's design or Dolby's insistence, I have no idea. It could even be a combination of the two - I'm not sure what other manufacturers are offering a Dolby IQ mode? Dolby sees it as an "auto" mode , which could be why they think the average consumer would prefer (or not care about) motion smoothing being on. Any idea if the QM8 is the same way?

[@amnesiacv2]

I have the 75" version of this set that I got on sale at Best Buy for

[@xcloudx_]

Thinking of getting it, have you watched sports on it at all?

[@olternaut]

How is the upscaling of lower quality content? Is it really that bad or is it tolerable? I want to use the set as a monitor and use my Nvidia GPU with VSR to pre-upscale KZbin content then let the TV upscale the rest of the way.

[@JoaquinSanchez-db9gk]

How are you liking your TV so far? Am thinking to get the 55 inch to use on my Game Room for my PS5, it's on sale for $499 at bestbuy

[@Caleb_Denison]

Now that you mention it, that sounds familiar. I’ll look into it on the QM8, which is coming back to the test bench for a vs. against the X95L. Might have to go on a rant about that.

Hi Caleb! I love you’re reviews-Very informative! What are your thoughts about the issue of “spying” for TCL TVs and Hisense TV?

Always love your reviews! I got the Q7 right after it became available. Like you said, Im not a video enthusiast, and for me the tv is performing great! And i think most average consumers would agree.

[@RichardGetzPhotography]

[@jasonbrown7744]

So, first very informative and useful review. My question though is, I'm a faithful TCL buyer, love their products, is this TV a replacement in their line up for the 5 series line? Currently own a 50 inch qled 5 series

[@crazeeeavery4203]

I got this tv as a replacement for my x800d. Definitely good for the value. It took a lot of tweaking to get look right but then again I got for $500. You can’t beat that price compared to the $1000 I spent on the x800d and the image I’m getting out of the newer tech.

[@Kenpocalypse]

Caleb, I have a question. I just purchased my 75-in Q7 TCL and when I watch things in Dolby Vision or HDR they looked washed out. Keep in mind I am streaming this content. However, when I disable HDR and Dolby Vision on my Roku 4K and just watch it in 4K, the TV looks excellent. It's bright. It's vibrant. It has deep. Blacks is very beautiful TV. However, when I enable HDR and w vision it puts a gray haze over the screen like the blacks are very lifted. Can you help me with this?

[@D65Cinder11HDR]

I love that bed. I think I might get one too and I think you could put the bed all the way down without any feet which is how I kind of would do it.

[@SerchPrado]

This Q7 compared to R646, wich one its better? Does the R646 get the bugs already fixed with proper updates ?

[@bellrobert1978]

It's good to see a review touching on lower quality media. All I watch is low bitrate content from streaming services. What manufacturers do well with this?

[@RonRon888]

I liked the pricing compassion slide out, doesn’t need to be too specific as it allowed the viewer to get a better idea of where the tv sits within other tv’s that that price point.

[@distance35]

Went from a 7 series Samsung 82 inch tv that lasted just over 2 years and now a anchor for a boat after LCD went .. to this 85 inch 2023 model TCL tv QLED and no comparison.. TCL this far blows Samsung out of the water for clear audible sound .. amazing without the need of a soundbar . Picture has bright colours . Very impressed after 24 hrs lol I’ll write another review after months .. I did learn my lesson and bought a 4 year waranty to at least get my money back if unrepairable but by then I’ll trade up to a 98 inch to 100 inch for same price lol

[@trendyprojectors4743]

Great to hear you are enjoying your new 85-inch 2023 model TCL tv QLED! It sounds like a fantastic upgrade from your previous TV. The picture quality and sound are truly impressive, and it's great that you don't need a soundbar to enjoy great audio.

@@Dhughe9if a light bleed is where your screen gets washed over with black but the screen is still on and slightly glowing then I just had that happen to my warranted Hisense roku 58” not sure which one specifically but it was on the really cheaper end around $250-300ish or so. First one did the same thing about 2 months in, used the warranty and this one that just did the same exact thing after 2 1/2 or so years did the same exact thing. Pretty disappointed I wouldn’t think it would be anything to do with Roku since that’s just the smart tv software stuff on the Hisense tv but I don’t ever plan on getting another Hisense after this. Damn shame I still have an old Hisense 1080p tv in the house that I got about 10-11 years ago and works perfectly fine. Still no issues yet.

While you await the full review on 65u7k, let me summarize the features: The Hisense 65U7K is a great all-around TV that offers excellent picture quality, a wide range of features, and a competitive price. It has a 4K UHD resolution, a Quantum Dot LED display, and Dolby Vision HDR support. It also has a built-in Google TV operating system, which gives you access to a wide range of apps and streaming services.

Thanks as always for an informative review. I wonder if you could do an explainer about the difference between stutter and judder at any time. The difference between them is one of the only things in tv reviews I still find confusing.

[@Caleb_Denison]

This is a great question to answer in the You Asked series. Would you mind sending that question to YouAsked at digitaltrends .com ? Just so I can save it and mark it for answering in the next episode?

[@trendyprojectors4743]

Stutter: The video appears jerky or choppy. Judder: The video appears to "strobe" or flicker. Stutter: Try restarting the video player. If that doesn't work, try updating the video player to the latest version. Judder: Try changing the frame rate of the video file. You can usually do this by using a video editing software. If that doesn't work, try changing the refresh rate of the display.

I bought a new Q 7 and returned it. It had great contrast and blooming control but I couldn’t get over the poor upscaling. Nothing under 4k looked clear. Ended up getting the Hisense U8k and love it! Way better upscaling. Way better everything really. Just don’t use it in a room where you’d need a wide viewing angle. Actually bought a Samsung Q 80c and returned that too before I got the U8k. The Q80c is junk. Lots of blooming, poor contrast, average upscaling. That basically performed like a budget tv.

I bought this TV a couple months ago on sale for like 650 after tax. Out-of-the-box is terrible. I can't even hire a calibrator here. So, coming from an LG C9, I'm pretty disappointed. The Rtings settings for the white points seem to help a lot. Most users would rather have vibrant colors so they won't care, but this TV is capable and after calibration, it could be fantastic. Honestly, not super disappointed because price was good in comparison, but without substantial calibration equipment and several hours of work, it does a decent job. Someone really needs to put pressure on companies to have a standard calibration at the factory. They leave so much on the table by not doing it. The technology in this price range is at the point where anyone could have a great TV and experience amazing performance, but the average consumer won't calibrate this TV and that's where this TV fails for me. I'll still keep it because I needed a cheap large TV, but disappointed in how much potential it has that I, personally, am unable to unlock. Great review and thanks for your honesty. Maybe TCL will adopt new factory calibrations in the future.

TLC is such an underrated brand. Bought a LG C3, returned it 2 days later because surprisingly I like my 500 dollar TLC 4K better. I'm not even kidding lol. Like the video mentioned, their contrast control is amazing, which is the thing i hate about oled.

[@natskar]

I had the same experience with the C2, contrast was frustratingly more difficult to dial in than I thought.

[@deepee1544]

Interesting!

[@Sparky-qv5op]

I wish TCL would move up into the OLED Platform. They might be able to give LG, Sony, and Samsung a run for "The Money". I am not sure how much better they can make Mini-LED Technology. They will not be able to solve for side angle viewing. Still Debating on TCL QM8 or LG C3 or G3 or Sony OLED $$$$$.

[@trendyprojectors4743]

I agree that it would be great to see TCL move up into the OLED platform. They have a proven track record of making high-quality TVs at competitive prices, and I'm sure they could bring that same level of quality and value to the OLED market.

[@scottmoreau5630]

Not sure if you read the comments but I need some help. I bought a QN90A two years ago and it has dimmed considerably to the point I hate it. I also found the ultra wide viewing angle presented vertical style banding dse that bothered me. I want to replace it but can’t decide what to get. The Qn90c doesn’t seem like a huge improvement. The Sony x93l intrigues me for the upscaling and lack of dse but again, not sure if it’s on the same level as the Qn90a. The LG G3 looks awesome but as an everyday tv, I worry about upscaling and burn in. Thoughts?

[@damianhaber4890]

Get the Sony

[@marvinkmooneyoz]

Hmm, well the TV he's suggestion instead, the QM8, is $400 more dollars. What would you recommend under $800?

[@kinggremlin4574]

How likely is it that the terrible accuracy is a Q/A issue and this particular sample isn't representative of what the average buyer will get?

[@deepee1544]

I was thinking the same thing! Like maybe it's the same issue that Caleb had with the Hisense U8K.

[@cloud9photography126]

how is it for 4k pc gaming...still get the 144hz?

[@finesseyawife7131]

This tv is 600 right now at Best Buy. I don’t know weather to wait for a sale or just jump the gun and buy it. I plan on getting a ps5 to go along with it as my pc has crapped the bed 😢

[@Sas-wk9lj]

It"s probably a safe bet to buy the piece which the reviewer got for review. High probability that's a golden sample.

[@olternaut]

Can someone tell me if using an Nvidia video card with VSR would make up any shortfalls the Q7 may have when watching KZbin content that has been upscaled?

[@JohnDoeTheTroll]

More than ANYTHING in ANY review, I for one appreciate greatly your honesty!! Thank you, Caleb! Seriously!

[@Camrographer]

I got the 55" last month. Did I make a mistake? PS I've noticed that it has an occasional disconnect with my my Samsung q60 with Earc. Is that something common?

[@deepee1544]

Are you happy with your 55"? I am seriously considering one right now.

[@deepee1544]

And Caleb did a video recently addressing eArc issues.

[@ChileanSpartanUSA]

Can some of the issues be fixed with software updates?

[@Caleb_Denison]

I don’t know for sure, but I’m not optimistic. Every panel is different, so that would be a tough solution to deploy; I think. What I do know is that, if TCL can, it is likely they will. I’m sure if they do, they will ask me to test the fix, and I would definitely report on it.

[@timindorf3824]

Hallo Ich habe den TCL qled 870 (c745) Zuhause meine Frage ist ,ist das der gleiche wie der Q7 in USA ? Viele liebe Grüße aus Deutschland

[@steventhagod92]

This tv or the 55 inch LG Nano cell tv? They only made 1 in 55

[@robertsewell536]

The only issue I have with my 55" is that both PS5 Slim & Series X suffer from Inverse Ghosting with VRR enabled. Really a bummer because the TV is exceptional otherwise.

[@cobrakainevereverdies6940]

*WHAT ABOUT TV AND SPORTS* This TV or the 646 ????

[@TheFeist77]

I am so confused. I have been saving for the last 3 years for a new TV. I want a 77" and up. I was saving for a G3 or C3. Should this still be what I should look for. Love movies and I am a gamer.

[@terryxperry]

If u got a budget for a OLED then a 85 inch or 98 inch TCL q7 or qm8. The qm8 is mini LED with good picture. And close enough to a OLED. OLED have burn in issues . For your use as a multi use tv. tcl q7 and qm8 would be what u need. If u want size there the TCL 98 inch TV at $2,000 USD. There is the Sony x90l if u want better picture quality.

[@jackinblack9105]

Been considering this tv to replace an aging 4 series in the bedroom. Disappointed that TCL seems to have regressed from the excellent 5 and 6 series.

[@Caleb_Denison]

I don’t think it has regressed, per se. Some setbacks yes, but overall this Tv looks far better than the older 4 and 5 series sets. It does more right than it does wrong. I tried really hard to make that point clear in this review, but I also understand that it’s kind of convoluted and confusing.

[@Caleb_Denison]

I’ll say this, though: I think you would find the Q7 to be a significant upgrade over your current 4 series. Like, you would probably be one of the folks I suggested may get a Q7 home and then wonder what I was whining about in this review.

[@jackinblack9105]

@@Caleb_Denison Thanks. Would you say it's a downgrade from the 6 series? The Q7 seems to be in a weird spot. Better than a 5 series but not flagship. I would go QM8 but for some reason TCL decided not to release it in a 55". I could go for an older 6 series as some places still have them in stock but supplies are running out.

[@ModeMan101]

@@jackinblack9105 I was in the same boat as you, eyeing the QM8 which seemed to be the successor to the 6 series, but disappointed that TCL decided not to offer a 55" unit. It seems that most manufacturers now consider the "big screen TV" category to mean 65" and up. The 55" 6 series' mini-LED backlighting does have the upper hand over the Q7 in terms of peak brightness and dimming zones, but the Q7 is still pretty impressive-looking in my opinion, especially considering it's a QLED. I decided on the Q7 over a 6 series mainly after reading that it shares the same image processor as the QM8. If you do end up going for a 6 series, I wouldn't get anything older than the 2022 R655 model.

[@CreepyCharlie]

So, if I walk into a walmart, which TV has the best bang for the buck, which one is the best overall? That’s the video I need.

[@markholle3450]

I did this at Best Buy and he pointed me to the Q7. Not disappointed.

No Roku anymore? That sucks, I want nothing else. This will drive me away from TCL.

the TCL QM8.......That's still only available in the UK?!?!? 😂😂😂 I STILL WISH I could just get a 65" SUPER GOOD 4-8k, mini LED display WITHOUT SPEAKERS AND A SMART HUB.....I have an Xbox Series X and a Pioneer AVR & Pinoeer and JVC 5.1 surround sound. I have thought of getting a Short throw Laser projector BUT I'd have to mount it UPSIDE DOWN ON THE CEILING!!!! 😂😂😂 So it sounds like I can get the sweet display without the $$$ in the Q7 and just disable the smart feature and speakers.

Can TCL correct this problem with new firmware?

I have the same question, maybe a new firmware will mitigate the problem?
