Which is better for gaming?

The U8QG. Its 165Hz native panel and brighter Mini-LED Pro backlight beat the M7's 60Hz screen. The M7 has Game Mode Plus and one extra HDMI port, but 60Hz caps it.

Is the U8QG worth about $373 more?

Yes if you watch in a bright room, game, or care about sound. At $797.96 at Amazon versus $425.21 at eBay as of November 3, 2026, the M7 is the better buy for a dim room on a budget.

Which has better sound without a soundbar?

The U8QG. Its up to 82W 4.1.2 system is much larger than the M7's 10W x 2 plus 20W setup, though both support Dolby Atmos.

Which handles a bright, sunny room better?

The U8QG. It reaches up to 5000 nits and has an anti-glare, low-reflection panel. The M7 tops out at 1000 nits with no anti-glare coating listed.

Which is easier to wall-mount?

The M7. It weighs 29.8 lb without the stand and uses a 200 x 300 VESA pattern. The U8QG weighs 51.8 lb, so plan for a heavier mount.

Do both run Google TV?

Yes. Both use Google TV with Google Assistant. The U8QG also supports Amazon Alexa.
