Which is better for a bright living room?

The Hisense U9N, on paper. It claims 5000 nits peak brightness and up to 5,000 dimming zones versus 3000 nits on the TCL, and it has an anti-glare screen.

Which has better built-in sound?

The Hisense. Its 4.1.2 channel, 82W system with CineStage X Surround is more elaborate than the TCL's Bang & Olufsen-tuned speakers with Dolby Atmos and DTS Virtual:X.

Is the TCL worth buying over the Hisense?

If you want a known price and a large review base, yes. The TCL is $1,498.00 at Walmart as of November 3, 2026 and has 457 ratings; the Hisense has 17 and no price was given.

Which is better for gaming?

Both run 144 Hz with four HDMI ports. The Hisense adds AMD FreeSync Premium Pro; the TCL offers Game Accelerator 288 and Auto Game Mode.

Do both support Dolby Vision?

Yes. Both list HDR10, HDR10+, HLG and Dolby Vision, so streaming HDR content works the same way on either.

Which is easier to wall mount?

The TCL, most likely. The Hisense weighs 123.9 lb (56.2 kg); the TCL's weight was not given, so confirm it before buying a mount.

TCL 85" Class QM7K Series QD-Mini LED QLED 4K UHD Smart Google TV (2025) vs Hisense 85-Inch Class U9 Series Mini-LED ULED 4K UHD Google Smart TV (85U9N, 2024 Model)

Both are 85-inch 144Hz Mini-LED Google TVs, so the choice comes down to brightness and sound versus price and track record. The Hisense U9N pushes far more peak brightness (5000 nits claimed) and a 4.1.2, 82W speaker system; the TCL QM7K counters with Bang & Olufsen audio tuning and a much larger base of owner ratings. As of November 3, 2026, the TCL QM7K's best new price is $1,498.00 at Walmart across 4 stores; no current price was given for the Hisense, so compare its live price before deciding.
