TCL QM8L 98" SQD-Mini LED Google TV vs Hisense U6 Series 50" QLED Fire TV

These are not really rivals: the TCL QM8L is a 98-inch flagship Mini LED built for a big, bright room, and the Hisense U6 is a smaller, budget-minded QLED Mini LED with Fire TV built in. The TCL wins on brightness, dimming zones, panel size and sound, with Bang & Olufsen audio and a 144Hz panel. The Hisense wins on value, a simpler built-in smart system and a glare-resistant screen, and its 267 ratings are strong at 4.8. Buy the TCL if the room and wall can take a 98-inch set and you want reference-level HDR. Buy the Hisense if you want a good Mini LED picture for less and a smaller footprint.

• Choose the TCL QM8L if you have the wall space for 98 inches and want the brightest, most controlled Mini LED picture with serious built-in sound.
• Choose the Hisense U6 if you want a smaller, glare-resistant Mini LED TV with Fire TV built in and a strong owner rating.
