Which is better for gaming, the TCL QM6K or the Hisense M7?

The TCL QM6K. Its 144Hz native panel, Game Accelerator 288 and Auto Game Mode give smoother motion and lower lag than the Hisense's 60Hz panel and Game Mode Plus.

Is the TCL QM6K worth $150 more than the Hisense 85M7SG?

Yes if you game or watch sports, since the 144Hz panel and up to LD500 dimming are the main things the extra money buys. If you mostly watch movies, the Hisense at $848 is the better value.

Which has the brighter picture?

The Hisense lists up to 1000 nits peak brightness. TCL does not publish a figure for the QM6K, so the Hisense is the only one you can compare on paper.

Which one has better sound built in?

The TCL QM6K. It uses a 2.1 ONKYO system with a built-in subwoofer, while the Hisense lists a single speaker with a subwoofer and Dolby Atmos. A soundbar helps either one.

Do both support Dolby Vision?

Yes. The TCL supports Dolby Vision, HDR10, HDR10+ and HLG. The Hisense supports Dolby Vision IQ, HDR10+ Adaptive, HDR10 and HLG.

Which is rated higher by owners?
