Which is better for a bright living room?

The U8N. Its 3,000 nits beats the M7's 1,000 nits, so it holds up better against window light and lamps.

Is the M7 good for gaming?

It is fine for casual play. Its 60Hz panel caps smoothness, while the U8N's 144Hz panel is the better pick for fast console or PC games.

Which has better sound out of the box?

The M7. It lists Dolby Atmos with a built-in subwoofer; the U8N's listed specs give no sound details, so a soundbar is the safer bet there.

Is the U8N worth it over the bigger M7?

If you sit close enough that 55 inches works, yes for movies and gaming: you get far higher brightness, 144Hz and IMAX Enhanced. If you sit far back, the extra 10 inches on the M7 may matter more.

Which handles dark movie scenes better?

The U8N gets brighter and supports more HDR formats, but its listed specs note visible blooming around bright objects on dark backgrounds. The M7 uses full array local dimming with fewer zones at lower brightness.

Do both run Google TV?

Yes. Both use Google TV, so the app selection and interface are the same; the difference is the panel and the size.

Hisense 65" M7 Mini-LED QLED 4K UHD Google Smart TV (65M7SG, 2026 Model) vs Hisense 55-Inch U8N Mini-LED ULED 4K Google Smart TV

Buy the 65-inch M7 if you want the bigger screen and the lower price for a bright family room. Buy the 55-inch U8N if picture quality matters more than size: it hits 3,000 nits, runs at 144Hz and handles every major HDR format. The M7 is listed at $159 at Distritech as of November 3; no price was given for the U8N, so check its current price before deciding.
