Hisense U7N vs TCL QM7 - Which Is The Best Budget-Friendly Mini LED TV?

[@imahustlah3609]

I bought the 98" QM7 and my family is in love!

[@bucclao209]

I have the 98” tcl S5 it’s great!!! I just ordered the 98” TCL qm7 for $2000 at Best Buy and I have 60 days to to return because I have the plus pro membership. It will be delivered next week and should I just return it and wait for next year Black Friday for the 98”qm8????? I seen the qm7 screen is simi gloss, but I like the all gloss on the qm8 I think the pictures it pops more..

[@usa4life71]

@bucclao209 why wait a whole year when the QM7 isn't that much worse than the QM8?

[@bucclao209]

@ thx for your opinion brother!! I will check it out when it’s delivered and see if it’s worth the wait or keep it. I will test it out and see it in person and mess with the settings

[@eugeneflorence4355]

Thank you for the opinion. I'm thinking of buying the QM7, however I prefer a TV that has a bright picture. Would you say this TV has a bright picture?

[@usa4life71]

@eugeneflorence4355 Yes, it does.

[@janellbaptista8225]

I’ve had my Qm7 for about 4 months and I love it.

[@CarsandCats]

I just got mine and connected an OG Xbox to test 480p gaming. VERY impressed! I played Scarface which has miserable framerates dropping below 30fps and the TCL handles it extremely well. Messing with the motion controls fixed all screen tearing and ALMOST makes it a smooth experience. Had it been a locked 30fps, the tv could have handled it perfectly.

Thank you so much for the kind words! We're always happy to hear that it's appreciated 😄❤️

[@juanlaza3360]

In Korea, both TCL and Hisense provide similar levels of after-sales service. Therefore, I decided to purchase the U7N recommended by RTINGS. The biggest advantage of the U7N over the QM7 is its anti-reflective coating, which is particularly beneficial for living room use. While there may be other differences, it's true that both are at a similar level. It seems the best choice is to buy whichever is on sale. Most KZbinrs give positive reviews of the U7N, but it appears that only non-expert QM7 buyers claim that the U7N is not good.

[@RichardLasquite]

Because the vast majority of the professional reviewers only test them for a week or two and the drawback of Hisense is reliability.

Reliability keeps me from buying Hisense. Mine just died right at the 6-year mark which is why I bought a TCL QM7 yesterday. I believe it was the power supply that failed as I saw it happen. The screen froze and just slowly faded to black. RIP Hisense.

Thank you for covering TVs in the upper midrange and midrange, not everybody can afford a flagship from Sony or Samsung. It is much more fun to watch a comparison between 2 mid range TVS than 2 flagships especially for someone has a fixed budget who wants to see what he can get for the most out of the money he has.

[@ronniepatterson2827]

Just ordered the Heisense cause it has the ability to change screen aspect ratios from 4:3 to multiple wide or stretch screen 16:9 ratios. One of the very few 2024 TV's that still has those options. Very handy if you a fan of both modern, & classic gaming.

478 right now. What a steal. Amazon did price match for me. Perhaps because we bought two of them?

[@Kryptic1046]

I have the QM7 and I like it so much that I recommended it to a friend and he is similarly impressed with his. My first 4k TV was a 50" Hisense back in 2018 and I really liked it for a budget TV. I haven't been overly impressed with any Hisense TV I've tried since though. I currently have an H9G which admittedly is great for movies but not for gaming, and I tried the U8K last year and it had a weird yellow tint around the entire outer edge of the screen during bright full-field images (like Google webpage for example). It also had bad black smear in games, so much so that I ended up returning it. I like the QM7 better than any Hisense I've had since my first one.

[@id36651]

I liked it so much I bought another

[@CarsandCats]

It's weird you say that because I just replaced my 2018 55 Hisense with the QM7 75. I also loved my Hisense but it went out after 6 years. Just curious on how long yours lasted?

[@Kryptic1046]

@@CarsandCats About the same. I bought it in September of 2018 and it just went out about a year ago. So it lasted a little over 5 years but it had a ton of hours on it. How are you liking the QM7?

@@Kryptic1046 I like it a lot. It was way too red, so I used the RTINGS calibration and wow it looks really great now. It's the best tv I've ever owned by far. Tomorrow I will try a 4k Blu-ray and see how it handles movies.

[@jasonwiltjer9]

One thing you guys leave out since its not imoortant to everyone: While both of these are Google TVs, the TCL UI is much quicker and more responsive. For hisense it can get very laggy and the remote has a delay. Other than that the TCL is slightly ahead overall and way ahead if you are shopping for a 75 inch.

[@bradh6185]

Thanks for the tip!

[@Audiorevue]

Are you sure about this? I've actually had both TVs at the same time and decided on the u7n because I just think it's a better television, I didn't notice any responsive difference between either of them, the u7n is pretty snappy

[@drwalka10]

define ... much quicker

[@CarsandCats]

That's very important for tv watching. I think they should measure remote and app response times! My QM7 is much more responsive than my ROKU was.

[@amitsamra1937]

I got the 65” QM7 for $700 and the 55” QM7 for $500 and both have been great. Best TVs I’ve ever owed.

[@DHS_RWaC]

Ordered both @55 inch, u7n arrived first and was pretty happy with it first, amazing black levels, great contrast, great reflection handling but then noticed dead pixel, dirty screen effect seeing grids, artifacts with fast moving scenes. Walmart is processing the replacement but I will check the qm7 first since I see more and more reviews favoring the TCL. Seems like qm7>u7n in most categories here too and people seem so complain about Hisense qc a lot (I definitely did not win the u7n display lottery).

[@robertt9342]

Ratings seems to slightly favour the U7n, how did you get the opposite impression?

[@CarsandCats]

The first thing I did was check dirty screen on my QM7 75. It's literally perfect EXCEPT for 1/2 inch in each corner which is slightly darker. You only see it in very bright scenes. It's not defective - it's just how they are made, and the corners are a pinch point on LED panels.

[@DHS_RWaC]

Same here, compare to the u7n I only noticed the classical miniLED DSE in the corners of the qm7 which is negligible. My u7n was a chessboard compared to the qm7 and I sent it back for a replacement. The u7n had better blacks, I liked the remote more (navigation is easier and it feels better balanced in my hands) and the stand is working a little better for my setup.

I think the 75" Hisense U7N which uses ADS-PRO panel is balanced choice between the two. I hope you review the 75" version of Hisense U7N.

[@bumpnpowder]

See the Rtings review of the 75-in U8N that they did separately from the other you U8N reviews. The panel type issues are pretty much the same between the U7N and the U8N. Rtings prefers the VA panel but be aware there are other reviewers that make cogent arguments as to why they prefer the 75 inch IPS panel.

[@juanlaza3360]

ADS panels have advantages in gaming and viewing angles, but they fall significantly short in black levels for HDR content like movies, making VA panels a better choice in my opinion. Viewing angles are also irrelevant in typical TV-watching environments.

[@engelzman]

I went with Hisense, cheaper option last week and the extra cost doesn’t bring enough for me. Hisense has been fantastic so far!

[@BlitzkriegStaffords]

same! i don't game on it, i use it to watch streaming content and bluray in a dark room and i honestly do not see how a tv could get any better for the price! even during the day when it is much brighter the u7n looks great! i just tend to watch tv more often at night. i would recommend this tv to anyone! i was hesitant about going with a hisense because i had no previous experience with the brand, i have always owned sony and samsung tv's but after owning this tv for the last couple weeks i am totally satisfied with my purchase!

[@michaelschwader7944]

They bought out Sharp years ago. They started off terrible. Sharp initially sued them because they continued to sell the TVs under the Sharp name. They disgraced Sharp's Aquos branding, which was, at one point, the best of the best. After the lawsuit, I heard that Hisense really straightened up their act. I decided to take a chance on a U7N 55 inch for my parents' room. Their Sharp Aquos of 15 years finally bit the dust. I got the Allstate 4-year protection plan as a safety measure. ​@BlitzkriegStaffords

[@rbrooks1305]

As far as Hisense goes, I have serious reservations about the quality. TCL had the same problems years ago but they seem to have fixed most of their problems. We currently have eight TCL TVs varying in size from 55 to 75 in. The oldest one which is the 75 in from 2017 is the dimmest of the bunch, however the HDR color seems to be superior to the newer, brighter iterations. All of the TCL TVs are still going strong. Now looking for another 55 in, I decided to check current reviews. The Hisense has some very great out of the box reviews, but the quantity of people complaining that the TVs don't last more than 2 years I just find to be scary. So we may be going back to another TCL even though it might be inferior somewhat in motion handling. That's usually not too much of an issue in gaming which is about 60% of the planned use

[@karaygeoushearts]

I have a 65” Hisense U8N I got during a Black Friday sale & I love it. Generally, I would say Hisense & TCL are pretty comparable, so get whichever is a lower price or the brand you trust more overall. My one exception is if you want a 75” TV. The Hisense TVs use a different panel for their 75” models & the quality is much lower, so I would get the TCL QM7 or QM8 for that size specifically.

[@CarsandCats]

Not sure why they say the speakers are "average" because are so loud I can't go past 25 on them. By contrast, my old Hisense was at 35 and I still needed CC on many movies. This is a MASSIVE sound quality upgrade from my 2018 model. They also failed to say you can also run remote powered subwoofers from the tv. I have two 12's in my bedroom and it makes quite a difference.

[@Audiorevue]

So I got both at the same time during the recent Black Friday sale and I ultimately went with the u7n. For me the Hisense just had a more wowing picture, like every time I watch something on it I was literally wowed by how good it looked. Gaming performance is awesome the menus and operation of everything is outstanding and perform perfectly, I honestly don't think you could go wrong either way. What swayed me with the Hisense is the reflection handling and I just thought gaming looked better on it, also I like the look of the Hisense better, it just looks like a more premium television to me. Bear in mind I'm not any sort of pro video enthusiast, I'm just an average consumer and pretty much all of my TVs over the past 10 years have been budget models that you can pick up at Walmart for 200 bucks, so either TV was definitely better than all of those, but I just like the Hisense better.

Check the TV settings, there’ll be an option to turn off the effect. Often it’s called frame generation, motion smoothing, interpolation, or silly brand names like Motion InnoFlow and things like that. But you’ll be able to turn it off once you find it. Some quick research suggests that Samsung usually calls it Auto Motion Plus or Picture Clarity.

[@engelzman]

The 65” U8N was the same price as the QM7 you reviewed here for Black Friday. QM7 wouldn’t hold up to U8N right? Why not get that

[@MattyDaddy14]

One problem of the U8N is how they vary the LDZ between sizes. The 65” is prob best with 1600 ldz, but if you go to the 75” you get 2000 ldz and ADS panel! But the 85” drops 1296. 55” is only 672. I believe the brightness levels on the U8N are much better but the catch with the QM7 is you can some times get it on sale for the same price as a U7N so other than the U8N being slightly brighter (QM7 = 1500nits) the U8N supposedly has better reflection handling. Personally, I like the look of the 75” U8N with the ADS panel and 2000 LdZ but my preference leans toward the QM7 for a bedroom tv or “moms tv”.. otherwise the QM8 beats all of them. 🎉 the U8N IS JUST SUCH a good deal right now.. but like sooo many others on here wrote about, the QC on the TCL seems much much better. 🎉

SONY X90L 55 pathetic 52 zones 85” U8N with 1296 is fine same as 55” Since SONY Bravia 7 --65😮” 480 zones ! Their 55” data is hard to find . Assume in the low 100-200s . N their 85” in the 600s . No worries with 85” n 75” 55” because those tv r fine toned .

does anyone’s qm7 seem to flicker different brightness in dolby vision shows

In all seriousness, are these durable TVs or should I expect a 3-5 year life before needing to get another one? Why doesn’t Rting compare components inside TVs?

Is the TCL P635 any good?

[@SpideyPan]

Is the TCL QM7 a similar model to the European C765, or possibly last year's C755/C805? If so, does anyone have any experience with these models?

[@tudy25]

I have this model (C765) in 65' and overall for ~700 eur that I paid, it'a an impressive TV, but it tends to stutter with 60fps HDR YT content, which never happens with my old Hisense U7QF. But in other built-in apps I haven't noticed any lag or performance issues. The viewing angles are pretty good for a VA panel, certainly better than the Hisense I have.

[@SpideyPan]

@tudy25 thank you! At 700 it sounds like a bargain, currently the 65" version is at 880 euros where I live. I am considering it versus the 75 inch C805 (at 1050 euros) but not that many reviews for the C765 seem to be available right now. I read about stutter issues across many TCL models but it doesn't seem to be a major issue overall.

[@tudy25]

@@SpideyPan yes, it was a steal at 700€. As far as I understand the C765 is better in lots of aspects compared to C805 (which is also called C755) - more dimming zones, brighter, better P3 coverage, but yeah, not a lot of reviews out there. Aside from the not so polished Google TV, if you’re using an external HDMI device, you won’t have any problems with motion and such, at least, I didn’t. I personally notices some slight light bleed at the bottom of the screen, which I noticed on both units I had (1st unit returned due to the 700€ sale)

[@SpideyPan]

@@tudy25 thank you so much for the feedback. Yes, the only reason I'm considering the C805 is for the bigger screen size at a compareable price. However I'm leaning more towards the C765 given its advantages in all areas.

[@BlueTubee]

I'm officially scared, i opened youtube to watch a comparison of these 2 TV's and you guys just posted this

What display settings would you recommend on the qm7

[@RTINGSdotcom]

We have display settings for each of our TVs on our website, here are the settings for the QM7: www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/tcl/qm7-qm751g-qled/settings Just remember that these settings are meant to provide a starting point; they're not meant to be copied 1:1. They provide the most accurate image in a moderately lit room, but you should adjust them to match your preferences and viewing conditions!

Costco carries U7N, you can't beat 5 year warranty

[@carlosk8103]

QM7 is slightly better all around except for the antiglare coating and local dimming being ever so slightly worse (a 20,000 higher contrast ratio sounds like a lot but once you get this high the difference is marginal). Other than the QM7 wins all around. Only reason I can think of to go U7N is if you have a bright room.

[@Yoga_Tv_buying]

Dude those coating will affect viewing experience . Ppl like me NEVER had matted screen PC / monitor / laptop / phone / TV! 📺 matted screen trigger my brain 🧠 contract that as illness release cortisol ! Anxiety inducing . Your eyes / brain Notice the mush even in dark room . My OLD SONY Vaio Laptop had d BEST glossy LED screen -- turned out made by SHARP . My Most loved Sharp LED TV 📺 had Full GLASS screen, my PC has glass screen n I always use IPad Pro :) At this point we can only go higher . Anything Matte is -- down grade deal breaker . It’s like trigger immediate “EWR 😮” when I look at matte , can’t even force myself to stop 😊

[@faautobahna9416]

Thanks

[@CarsandCats]

You compare VA panel to VA panel which SEEMS fair, but it isn't because the Hisense 75 inch is ONLY available in ADS Pro panel. You made a small mention at the very end but really should retest same-size panels and you'd see the TCL is the clear winner at 75 inch.

[@Yoga_Tv_buying]

75 U8N U8K U7N r d BEST TVs . Inside seen them in person . The RUINed 😾 impression of VA for me forever !

[@NoferTrunions]

OTA OTA OTA (!!!): Hisense ATSC 3.0 Next Gen tuner - TCL still has the old ATSC 1.0 tuner. Remember, when stations convert to 3.0 and quit broadcasting in 1.0, 1.0 tuners WILL NOT WORK! PICTURE QUALITY? If TV has crappy tuner, NO PICTURE QUALITY! Your operation is stellar test (kudos for sound freq resp and distortion) however you TOTALLY MISS Tuner Performance.

I have had the TCL for 4 days. Crazy software glitching and a crappy picture means Im returning it. Faces are blurry, overexposed, never clear no matter how I adjust it. Super disappointing dont believe the hype it is really unrefined. Lots of nits yes lots of brightness but looks kind primitive like a bar tv in 2002.

Yeah it is mattd screen 📺 similar to SONY X90L. I would switch to U7N or U8N if I were u . U7N has huge step up from last yr U7K. It has - 2023 Flagship U8K screen . The High Gloss type of (Semi gloss ) so clean elegant in person . 😮 I was wow by it .

Everyone that just bought either, or the U8N / QM8. At this point in time should have just waited for the 2025 TCL & Hisense models. They will have significant technology advancements. Much larger advancements than between 2022 to 2023 and 2023 to 2024.

Ill stick with my Sony Bravia B9 75-inch for the 🏆 ✌️

[@bumpnpowder]

I'm sure the B9 is a better TV but with a $200 rebate Costco had highly rated 75 in B7 (same processor, nearly as bright, fewer dimming zones, slightly worse reflection handling) on sale over Black Friday $1599 including an upgraded B9 remote and an upgraded Sony Bravia Core to include 15 credits and extended to 2 years. And oh yeah 5 years warranty free. The lowest price I've seen on the 75 in B9 is $3499 and one has to ask if it is really worth over twice the price? Most reviewers say no. Last but not least if you're willing to spend that kind of money why wouldn't you just pony up another 500 bucks and get the 85 inch that most reviewers would agree is worth every penny to increase the immersive experience.

[@shanew7361]

@bumpnpowder I have it in my bedroom an 85-inch is too big. I didn't want the 85 inch otherwise I'd bought it irrelevant of price .

It is a bit better for sure

[@Kryptic1046]

They might've done you a favor. I had the Hisense U8K last year and it had bad black smearing in games. After awhile of having it hooked up, it also forgot that it could do 144hz with my PC and started limiting itself to 120hz. Nothing I did could get the 144hz back. Meanwhile I've had the QM7 for over 2 months now and I haven't had any issues. I really like the QM7.

[@bucclao209]

I have the 98” tcl S5 it’s great!!! I just ordered the 98” TCL qm7 for $2000 at Best Buy and I have 60 days to to return because I have the plus pro membership. It will be delivered next week and should I just return it and wait for next year Black Friday for the 98”qm8????? I seen the qm7 screen is simi gloss, but I like the all gloss on the qm8 I think the pictures it pops more..
