TCL QM8K QD-Mini LED TV vs Hisense 65U8QG
Both are bright Mini LED 4K TVs with Google TV, and both win praise for picture quality. The TCL QM8K is the stronger gaming set: a 144Hz native panel, four HDMI ports and Game Accelerator 288. The Hisense 65U8QG counters with a 165Hz panel, Dolby Vision and HDR10+ support, and lower measured input lag. Owners of both report weak built-in sound, so plan on a soundbar. The TCL carries more dimming zones and higher peak brightness claims; the Hisense is the better value pick for movie night.
- Choose the TCL QM8K if you game on a console or PC and want four HDMI inputs, a native 144Hz panel and the brightest, most contrasty picture of the two.
- Choose the Hisense 65U8QG if you watch a lot of Dolby Vision movies and want the faster 165Hz panel, lower input lag and full HDR format support.
