Great video - great channel- thanks for the commentary Brian - I just took possession of the65” U75k and couldn’t be happier ! I researched heavily with your channel/ FOMO /TechSteve and Quantum - ultimately did the U7k because that the only one Costco is carrying of this line (was in great sale also ) This video helped me feel at peace with the demo - not thinking if I should have upgraded - without the side to side - it’s hard to tell a difference in real life - the u7k drops jaws on its own .

[@tarekabdel-baset6904]

Is there a difference in reflection handling between them ? The U8k advertises a special layer - maybe the one small complain I have on the U7k is it’s not particularly great on reflections - average but poor compared to my 15yr old Bravia with a Matt screen - my wife is giving me the beans on that - she sits more off angle than me - if there’s a big difference- I may consider upgrading to U8k to keep wife happy

Where other reviews word vomit specs, this gets down to business. I am thoroughly impressed by the depth of information in this review but letting my own eyeballs make decisions through your guided tour. Every other reviewer should take note. This is what we the customers want. Fantastic job my man. Mad respect.

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

Thank you so very much! I truly appreciate you watching and for taking the time to comment In such and encouraging way.

[@fuyiman]

Had the choice between a 55" U7K and U8K. U8K model is 300$ more, hence, I went with the U7K. If it was 100$, I would go U8K, but for 300$, I believe the U7K is the best option!

[@itisfinished4U]

i most certainly prefer the u7k on this demo, the brightness on the 8k definitely appears to blow out the depth and colors that the u7 maintains beautifully.

[@BiernoYoshikawa]

Yeah bought the u7k because it looks better than the u8k in this video because of brightness. U7k been amazing at home and it running at 75% brightness in my living room with Windows curtains open. Still gives amazing blacks and colors

[@captospinki]

me too U7k

[@donison-xu3qf]

Me too... Was about to buy a 75" U8 but having seen this video I actually prefer the picture on the U7. Guess I'll make the final decision at the store.

[@unseenglass]

He mentioned several times the u8k looks better in person and it only looks washed out on camera.

[@RacingPotato12]

​@@unseenglass The amount of people in this comment section who don't understand the simple concept of how exposure works in cameras in mind boggling.

I'm here because you and FOMO recommended the U7K as the TV to get for my $~700 budget during your Live Stream yesterday. 😂 Thanks for all the hard work you guys put out for us!

[@BlaiseDuff-g2z]

Great comparison. I have a sore backside from sitting on the undecided fence, You have made my decision for me, U8K it is. Thanks

[@1Aquadon]

Thanks Brian. Since upscaling from lower quality is becoming such an integral part of our TV choice, and we know copyright laws prohibit you using regular content for fear of strike, I'm wondering if jennifergala would consider making 480/720/1080 content that could be safely used to demo TV's going into the future?

[@jblaze600]

I love my u8k. The tv can do it all. The bear thing for me is how sdr/hdr upscales for sports which my c9 and c1 have struggled. I paid 750 for a 55 compared to 1500 and 1000 for the oled models. The sound on the u8k really pushes it over the top. You really don’t need a soundbar. Gaming on it is just as pleasurable than an oled. The VRR, high refresh rate, colors, and deep blacks are all there.

[@WAJU4]

I was going to buy it next week but now TV went up $1k both on Best Buy and Amazon again smh

[@barranquillero1979]

I agree totally.

[@bulletproofman323]

I freaking love my U8K. I pretty much only game and watch KZbin videos on there. So worth the purchase.

[@mceuca]

Thank you for the very comprehensive comparison. I'm looking to buy a new TV and I set my eyes on these two 75" Hisense models. The 75" U7K is priced $400 lower than the U8K. Watching this video helped me make a decision, I'm very happy with U7K performance and looks, I think it's a great TV set and the $400 premium difference for U8K is not worth it. I'm replacing a 55" older LG which is a bit small for my living room so technically even going for a 65" will be a huge difference but I'm sticking with the 75 size versus going for a 65" U8K.

[@anoaklandsir]

I'm in the same boat! I have an older 65" LG 65 4K ULED in my living room, and have both the 75" U7 and U8 in my best buy cart. Thinking of going for the 75" U7 and save $400 bucks. Are you still happy with yours?

[@mceuca]

@@anoaklandsir yes, actually better than expected

[@anoaklandsir]

@@mceuca awesome! Do you play video games on yours? I will be using mine mostly for gaming and movies which is why I opted for mini LED QLED over OLED.

[@ryanbaker7404]

Awesome versus video, Brian. I would say for the average consumer that just wants a modern, "good enough" TV...get the U7K in the "size up" category. For those AV Nerds (TM) that want the premium in whatever brand, get the U8K. The U7K is often so close in performance that it's an easy bang for the buck recommendation for friends and family that are in the market for a new TV and/or a size upgrade but aren't concerned with factors like the brightest specular highlights or wanting the best dimming algorithm. Hisense have had a great couple of years!

[@bobsibert1968]

Not sure what I was watching, but the UK7 looked way better, much better contrast and good enough brightness!

[@VanIyke]

Got the U7K. Two reasons: Price. 144Hz refresh rate. The TV pops.

[@Szabby999]

Hi Bro! Hisense has got a new firmware update recently that allows 4K 144Hz on nVidia cards (so far nVidia cards could only have 4K 120Hz on Hisense TVs). This update surely works on U8K models. Can you perhaps confirm, that 4K 144Hz also is truely working on H7K with an nvidia card?

[@giftedsir777]

Amazing demonstration! Now, that's how you do a video! A+ job!

[@shawnruiz2019]

I read that going from the 65 inch to the 75 inch U7K, you change panel types from VA to IPS. Interesting to see a review of that size and what a panel change does for the contrast of the TV.

[@Thefilmyfamily786]

I bought the 75in u7k and it's the ads pro ips panel, it's a bit more bright than 65 in which I returned and I am loving it. There is not much difference between u8k and u7k and only buy the u8k if you are in a very very bright room, otherwise I assure you it will hurt your eyes and that brightness and extra cost will not be worth it.

[@BiernoYoshikawa]

Bought a 65" U7K based on this review combined with Rtings and u8k vs other TVs and totally just make sense to just go for u7k for its price. U7K been amazing at home and honestly looks inky black and colors are amazing. The 65 inch like almost cover my whole wall 😆 don't think any other TV come close to u7k for its price. Got it for $850 Canadian at Costco All the apps looks amazing, netflix ,Amazon, Apple tv, Disney+, Discovey+, KZbin

[@joseecoutinho8844]

Hello Brian. This is an excellent video. I was very eager to get the U8K, but seeing your comparison, I like the colors better on the U7K. The U7K also appears to be sharper then the U8K. My two important aspect is picture quality and upscaling capability, and it seems that the upscaling is about the same on both sets, but to me, the U7K have better colors and sharper image. Thank you so muck for showing this video.

So, the U7K 75 in also has an IPS panel? I have a wide viewing angle and would like to take advantage of an IPS panel to help with that. That's my only dilemma, I would have to go u8k 75 to my understanding. However if the U7K is IPS I would go that route to save a few bucks.

I'm glad I went with the U7K, got it delivered Wednesday. The gap in quality doesn't warrant the price difference. I know exactly what you're talking about with screen size however - my decision was the 75" U6K or a 65" U7K for about the same price.

[@Jay-sg2ww]

Do you know if your 75" u7k is the ADS Pro panel like the u8k? I've seen the 75" u6k in Costco and it's a IPS panel and has good viewing angle. The 75" u8k has a confirmed ADS Pro /IPS panel with great viewing angles and black levels. The u7k is up in the air, some forums are saying its a ADS Pro panel, some are saying its a VA panel.

Agreeing with most viewers, the U7K looks better in all aspects and sharper in this comparison based on your single camera's exposure settings. Perhaps, if possible, a better comparison for the viewer is to use two cameras with proper exposure settings for each TV, and edit the footage side by side. Thanks for the time and effort of putting this together.

[@tommy7154]

It'd be nice to hear what you see with your eyes because in the video the U7K clearly looks sharper with better blacks. I assume that's your camera making it seem that way? Or does the U7K actually have better blacks/contrast?

Just bought the 75 u7k. Wanted the u8k but Best Buy didn’t have it in stock. When I first tried it out I was not impressed. Tried adjusting picture but no luck. My old Vizio m series blew it out of the water. Was about to return it for oled but I then adjusted the black levels to -5 or -6 and dang the color popped. Huge difference. Now I’m super impressed and truly enjoying it. 1000 peak brightness is enough for this Tv. I sometimes have to close my eyes a bit on bright scenes. It’s at 100% brightness so I’m thinking I might have to lower it a bit. Too bright at times. Can’t imagine 1500 peak brightness that the U8k gets

Such an excellent demonstration of these two tv models. Unlike a lot of TV reviewers that tell you what adjustments to make they don't show a side-by-side comparison like you do on what happens when you do make the adjustments, much more educational. i own the Hisense U8K 75 inch in my home theater. Next month or so i'm going to go to the 85 inch U7k. with my very-old eyeballs, I virtually see no difference or very little in either one of these display panels.. I don't understand why most people would want to spend more money on Samsung or LG or Sony when Hisense delivers such fantastic performance. Guess the only thing left to test with Hisense is longevity.

I have a question for you Brian unrelated to both of these sets..Are you planning to review the Sony A95L anytime soon? Hopefully so as I can't wait to compare to the LG G3 with the MLA display!

[@rc1298]

I wonder how your camera and my display affect what I'm seeing vs what you see. During the video you mention several times that you prefer the U8K but I think I prefer the U7K in more of the scenes/settings. The U7K just seemed more natural and even more detailed in many cases. That is likely due to, as you mentioned, the higher brightness of the U8K. It almost feels like it washes out the color a bit too much from my perspective. Love these comparisons though. I'd really love to see the U8K, U7K, X90L and X93L battle it out! I think the processing of the Sony's will make a big difference.

[@matthewmonnett230]

I watched this four times trying to confirm what I was seeing was what I was thinking about this comparison. Then, after reading all the comments in favor for the U7K, I got my confirmation. The U7K has a MUCH better picture than the U8K, according to what this video illustrates without a doubt. The tv’s brightness and/or colors blow out all the detail in SO many examples. Brian even stated sometimes the color brightness washes out the detail and because the U7K has less brightness and dimming zones, the U7K has more depth. So in conclusion, I was planning on getting an 85 inch U8 for the “best” version, but now I think it’s a no-brainer thanks to the seeing the video and reading all the comments favoring the U7K. I’m not confident in the U8K’s ability to be adjusted to the same or better than that of the U7K. If it can, I would appreciate any advice. Thanks for reading and I hope others find this informative and helpful.

Hi Brian. Hope all is well. I need to replace my TV in my office which died over the weekend which I only used to watch the news or movies. I'm not a gamer. Given this fact plus I don't have enough wall space and I don't want to spend a lot of money, I'm leaning for the U7K. If possible could I get your opion. Again, which ever TV I purchase, it will only be used for movies or news TV. Thanks for your help.

[@trevr1969]

Great comparison. Did you mentioned both TVs are calibrated?

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

Thank you! No, neither of them are calibrated. Thank you for watching

[@Greenlink74]

I think for most people watching live TV whether thats from Comcast or whoever, the U8K is the better option given it seems better with upscaling the 720p / 1080p output from live broadcasts

[@sector7676]

Which one did you think had richer blacks?

[@CompSource]

I'm assuming you are seeing a bigger difference than we are as I'm actually liking the U7K richness and contrast better! I just purchased a U8K100 wouldn't there be a way to make it a little darker either via contrast or dimming to give it a similar look?

[@ben23a31]

Great video comparison. Jennifer's videos are impressive. Any chance future videos could maybe include fast moving objects for us sports fans? Thx ✊🏼

[@ericavictor1753]

I'm going to buy one don't witch one yet black Friday thanks

[@MM-Official]

Thanks Brian for still remember our desire to see the UX model, great sibling comparison btw

[@billwiley7216]

For years I only bought the big brands $2000+ tv's and my last few purchases have been more of the budget brands decent sets in the $800 or less range. Honestly for my use I cannot justify the much higher cost of the big boys when compared to the performance the more budget options offer these days. Really interested I think in the 65" U7K Hisense for my next tv to replace a Vizio 55" m series quantum from about 5 years ago.

[@RALTBOB1]

Thank you for the fantastic video and the specifics for each tv. I’ve been considering a 75” U8K primarily because of its stereo system which blows the U7K. But in this presentation I have to admit that the U7K’s picture quality is better all around. Gee you didn’t make my decision any easier. Thanks to the young lady that did all that hard work.

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

The U7K seems neck and neck but I'd still grab the U8K at 75" my friend. Just better overall.

[@Cheese-Head]

75 is an IPS panel, it would have worse contrast and worse blooming, right?

[@HLam-y6s]

I love the side-by-side comparison. What sizes are these 2 TV's in this video? In this size, I see little difference in brightness, picture & colors between the two. However, I am looking to buy the 75". Will I see differences in brightness and color quality when going up to that size? Big difference in price thou (50% more expensive in the 75U8K !). With $500 more, I hope the difference is big enough to justify. TIA

[@AMunoz-mh4ot]

Have the 100U8K (sold in America) and the 100U7K (sold in Europe) the same specs (same panel) as some claim?

[@heibaimao]

Considering the u7k. But how is hisense software/native app etc? Laggy? Buggy?

[@Voltis-5]

Just got the 75" U8 as an open box from Best Buy for $811. Added the 5yr extended warranty for a total of $1k out the door. It's definitely a worthy upgrade from my 12 yr old 1080p Vizio 😅

[@Beanick]

100 inch U7K for me. U8K not available yet in Australia as far as I know.

[@TonyD-IsMe]

This is the vid I’ve been waiting for

[@planetstupider502]

Thanks Brian. very informative. Cant decide between TCL Q7 and Hisense U7K.

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

While the U7K is mini led and the Q7 is full array our friend Stop the Fomo prefers the Q7 just a bit. The Hisense will be more natural and more accurate the TCl a bit more vibrant and less true to life. Neither is wrong just preference

[@joseecoutinho8844]

Brian, do the U7K and U8K use the same processor?

[@wendellwendellb339]

I just bought the U7K!

[@mr_bukhary]

I prefer u7k from this demo. It's very life like image on the screen. It's definitely on top of the list for my new tv. Though still in dilemma because of the VIDAA os. Is it worth it?

[@patg.7809]

I too prefer the 7k picture. Is the 8k sound significantly better?

[@jeremymerry7967]

i wonder what would be better for anime the qm8 u7k or u8k?

[@darrelarmstrong2408]

Brian off topic question... The Sharp Aquos XLED was very impressive in your visit to Value Electronics but while you said no sound bar needed how well does it do Dolby Atmos?

[@darrtetzy]

Great comparison, but I wish you'd have spent a minute reviewing the remote control too . A poor remote can ruin the whole experience: how does it feel in the hand? - Does it feel cheap? - Are all of its functions useful and does it have any quirks we need to consider?

[@fadoromeo]

Brian, please make a comparison between q7 and u7k, and one between qm8 and u8k, and give us your honest opinions!
