Hisense U8QG Mini-LED QLED TV vs TCL 65" T7 Series QLED TV

The Hisense U8QG is the stronger TV on picture and gaming: Mini-LED backlight with peak brightness up to 5,000 nits, a native 165Hz panel, three HDMI 2.1 ports, Dolby Vision and HDR10+, ATSC 3.0 and a 4.1.2-channel 72W sound system. The TCL T7 is a step down: 120Hz (144Hz in game mode), no Dolby Vision listed, four HDMI ports but no stated 2.1, and a basic Google TV setup. Buy the Hisense if you watch HDR movies or play on a console or PC; buy the TCL only if you want a big 65-inch QLED at the lowest outlay and don't need the brightness or gaming headroom.

• Choose the Hisense U8QG if you want the brightest HDR picture, 165Hz gaming with FreeSync Premium Pro, and built-in Atmos sound.
• Choose the TCL T7 if a 65-inch QLED with Google TV covers your needs and you don't need Mini-LED brightness or HDMI 2.1.
