TCL QM8 VS LG G3 VS SONY A95K VS HISENSE U7K! 

Thank you for watching everyone! The A95K appears warm on camera as the sensors pick it up that way, and it's only noticeable in comparison to the others. Their was no winner announced simply because Hisense donated it, then turned into a showcase rather than a competition. Thanks again for watching!

For the price, U7K is just stunning anyway

TCL QM8 looks closest to the LG G3 which is really impressive considering the cost difference! Mini led is very close to oled! The Hisense U8K would be a better comparison.

You did a great job at MWAVE Brian. I had not paid attention to TVs much in a couple years and you made it easy to get caught up quickly on the new tech.

When I'm looking for a comparison, I'm looking for this!, tysm, what a great video and content creator you are 😊

Brian you guys did a fantastic job at the show. Thanks for taking the time with everyone and really showing them the differences between the sets. It was a great experiance and very well done.

The underdog U7K did amazing actually, in my eyes at least it was very similar to the LG as far as shadow details and colors....considering it wasn't a fair comparison since the U8K would had been the right one.

Great video Brian, by the way I did receive my brand new A95K replacement and so far this panel looks cleaner picture quality wise than the one that died so I’m very happy with it so far, keep the great videos coming 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

I like that you mentioned build quality. I only really paid attention to picture quality and never gave much consideration to build quality (especially for a bedroom TV) until I received a TCL QM8 with a cracked screen. I was shocked to see how flimsy the screen appeared to be. It looked like a cheap polycarbonate screen protector you see cracked on people's phones vs the nicer screens I'm used to. Now, that's probably not an issue for most folks, but these are definitely going to be more easily damaged. I can tell where costs were cut. People need to be careful unboxing and setting up that thing. It ended up being replaced by an LG OLED.

Liked the Hisense myself most. Did not like the Sony at all.

Brian thank you for the video, your dedication towards providing us with valuable information is commendable. You mentioned that the u7k you had at home performed better when compared to the one in the video. Do you think it’s because of the va panel that Hisense used in the 65” and the ads panel used in 75” one? I was planning on buying the 75” u7k.

Hello. Why are there different colors on all four TV sets? if all the TVs were calibrated. Was the calibration done using Calman on three TV sets (except Hisense)?

Can't wait for the 98" TCL QM8 to release as it might be my next TV

I finally pulled the trigger on a 2023 TCLQM8 85 inch when it got down to $1499. Delivery this thursday June 6. fingers crossed.

question, with the improvements of oled, mla and all. how are the darker scenes? before darker scenes are too dark where you can barely see the details. looking to buy a TV, any input is appreciated

Why is the A95K having a strong magenta cast to the entire picture? I think something is wrong with the calibration. I replayed the same videos on my A95K and it looks way better.

Color way off on Sony but could be caused by video camera. Trying to pick between u7k and q7 and since the u7k looks as good as any of these, I'm set.

Great video. The QM8 does look great. Still, were times there was blooming that ones eyes cannot unsee. As an LG OLED owner, blooming is not an issue. However now I want a 98 inch TV. Cost is in INSANE for OLED. So the QM8 looks pretty good :) Excellent job on the vid.

If you go to 13.55 min and pause. you can see that all the TV's are crushing black terribly except for the U7K and that also has much more detail if you look at some of the other images like grass trees,and fur.

U7K is a model below the top of the line Hisense (U8K). The U8K would be the one to compare to the others in this video. With that being said the U7K does a great job. I just ordered the 75U7K for $899! Can't wait to try it out! It will be replacing a 6 year old 4k 65 inch insignia Roku TV.

In Australia we don't have the QM8, I haven't seen 1 but we do have the TCL C845, is that the same as the qm8? Going by the picture alone, out of the u7k, tcl c845 or the Sony x85k, which is the better tv?

Brian from seeing tons of TVs in person I wanted to pick your brain regarding two. I unfortunately haven’t been able to see the TCL QM8 in person, but I’m torn between the qm8 and Samsung qn90b. Both in 85 inches, from seeing the qn90b in person at 85 inches I was shocked at how good it looked. Primarily it will be for sports, mma, basketball, Boxing

Thanks brian, waiting for x90l vs x95l

Wow, just from this vid, the G3 is in a league of its own. Looks killer.

Looking forward to this!

Here to watch G3 and A95. Also waiting patiently for a80l vs a95k

Will take a peek at this one Brian😊

Any chance the TCl q7 will be reviewed? thanks for all your work keep it up!

My 77" g3 was delivered today! Its not even on the wall yet, and i saw this video posted. I am sooooooooo thankful i went with the g3 and not the a95k that i was debating between. Awesome video!

Would have loved to see how the x93L/ x95L matches up. In the market for a 65 in and I keep switching between TCL/Hisense/Sony. From what I've watched, out of these 3 Hisense appears to have the better sound quality and motion processing than the TCL.

Brian, I saw one of your comments in this thread that your making a review comparison between the U8K and the QM8? Can you please try to see how they perform using content with a black back drop and stars? There are a lot of people on AV Forums saying that in content with stars, using the QM8, it is impossible to see even a quarter of the stars in scene like the opening of a Star Wars film when the intro credits are rolling like in the Phantom Menace

I'd love to see a samsung qn95c vs tcl qm8 or even last years qn90b vs tcl qm8 comparison!

Its a pity we cannot get a proper picture translation to camera, QD-Oled's magenta really gets excessively boosted when filmed.

I love your channel jefe!❤All you need is a reference monitor but...Why are you showing the U7K instead of the U8K, their flagship? Your channel is better than FOMO's.

I like the G3 best and followed by U7K. Sony, has too much red in the picture. QM8 in third place

Can you please share the calibration settings with the Apple TV using Dolby Vision Bright, it’s different then the tv settings.

Thanks Brian, really love your content and the way you communicate to your viewers. I am pretty upset that MLA is only reserved to G series, wish it was also for C series, I'd pay premium, there are no G series sold in my country. /:

I have the Sony A9G I was wondering do you think I should upgrade to the A95K in your opinion is there a big difference in image quality Dolby Vision/HDR wise. Or do you think wait a little longer for more upgrade???? Thanks

LG OLED will forever be a benchmark, and i can immediately tell that QM8 is the closest in the terms of quality (minus minor blooming). even in this video the crowd choose TCL after LG

that was FUN!

So what tv is better for gaming? Hisense u8k or tcl qm8?

Saw a 77" G3 w/MLA some time ago at a Best Buy and it rivaled the picture quality of it's big EXPENSIVE brother, the Z series! That MLA combined with already excellent G3 has put it in a league of it's own...even better in my opinion than Samsung's S95C...Can't wait til next year when it's offered in an 83" 😊

Out of these 4 tvs best for watching live hockey? In a darker room. Thank you. Great videos !

Do you think the mini led panel blooming problem can be solved with a good software update ??

Good video my brotha

Good work Brian

You stated that the units were all calibrated. Were the calibrations equally successful? I am stunned by how off the colors on the Sony appeared - you said that it was a camera issue, but most of the scenes seemed to have a strong cast, maybe magenta, on that screen only. TBH I'm watching this on a plasma that has had a basic cal but you're pointing out the relative differences which will mostly show up in any case. Are the colors of the different emitters that different between the Sony and the LG?

Great job Brian, nicley done.

so the Q8m is basically C935 without some features and polished preccessing?

how do you compare the 83" A90j vs the LG G3 dark room picture quality?

It's disturbing to see how wildly different the colors are between them. I thought that calibration meant having an error score below the visual threshold but these are all very noticeably different from each other.

My eyes keep gravitate towards the LG G3 because of how 3D it looks!

It was great meeting you! Made me drool over my the G3 with it MLA technology. I hope LG brings it to the C line next year.

The Sony A95k seems to be the least bright but seems to offer more detail and natural colors. All the others seem to compensate by the high brightness and strong colors while not to the point of color bleed they look rather off.

The G3 is a real beauty and if I had the money I would grab one no doubt about it. Great video my brother.

Brian… which tv has the best motion?? Witch one has less studder and judder?

G3 then QM8 then A95k then U7K, I need a 85 or 98 inch so QM8 for my use case. Wish the new MLA tech was in the 83 inch.

My eyes get drawn to the QM8 the most, TCL really did good with this model! The only thing I noticed was sometimes the colors seemed a tad over processed and didn't have the gradient control the Sony displays and then it appeared kinda blotchy in areas. Particularly the green on the Iguana, Chameleon, and frog... but deeper greens can be a notoriously hard color for LCD based TV's. The Sony just seemed off to me, which is very unusual. The Sony had very good color control, but honestly seemed blah overall. It looked over brightened and thus kinda washed out... which just seems very un Sony. Hisense is definitely good for the price, but I always feel they're just a step or so behind TCL. LG is of course extremely good, but I don't think anyone with G3 money will cross shop a Hisense or TCL anything. The G3 is too high end/niche for most people, the average person is goin for the C3.

The colors on G3 is best to my eyes 👌

Brian .... Question .... to watch movies .... Tcl qm8 or Hisense u8k ?? Thanks

Would love to see the S90c thrown in there!

That's funny it looks like this Jason guy fixed the red push on the QM8 like your other calibrator couldn't with FOMO.

Without considering cost but going purely on picture quality and detail over all I'd say it looks like 1st G3. 2nd U7K. 3Rd QM8. 4th A95K.

Thanks Brian

Hey! Why wasn’t the Samsung QN90A included in this comparison when it was actually present along side these 4 TVs

FOMO you should have put your calibrated Hisense U8H. I think it’s the king of TVs last year and this year when going against the best.

we are talking about the m8B? or the m8G?, there are big differencies between those models!!!

Damn shame the qn95c wasnt here Brian! Id love to see a G3 vs Qn95c video.

LG G3 is clear winner 🏆

A lot of pink in the Sony. I really like it. The colors seem more unique in Sony

G3 Just dominates. It’s hard to imagine how much better a TV could possibly be.

G3 All day just got mines a week ago.

X90L should be up there too Brian.

The Sony just looks like it’s got a strange tint to it ,anyone else picking up on this ? It doesn’t look natural .

Its hard C3 55' for 950 dlls or U7K 65' for 800 😢 why do you think?

The more I watch the more undecided I become. I had pretty much decided on the U7K but after watching this I may have to look at the QM8.

Just curious, when people found out how inexpensive the U7K was, did their opinions change? Agreed with others, the U8K would have been a better comparison but in certain respects, using the U7K was a great way of showing that you don't have to break the bank to get a decent looking TV. :)

LG G3 hands down the best picture quality.

Hisense u7k!! My next tv😊👍🏼

Nice job with the video and show. As to the TVs, I'd say: 1. G3, 2. QM8, 3.....

LG G3 is vibrant and is very high performance and clearly the winner to me! But the A95 has some better precise graphics at in different scenes just like the QM8 does also. But believe it or not the U7K has better contrast in some scenarios. But unfortunately the QM8 and U7K does have some noticeable blooming. Personally I'm still looking into getting the Hisense U7K because I need a good tv upgrade that isnt the price of a used car. Something thats still consumer budget friendly

Left side is yellow rich, (hisense TCL) Right upper is red rich (Sony) Right lower is blue rich (seems natural, LG)

LG G3 nice

It is rather difficult with white balance setting from camera onto TV making comparison hard for me to judge.

Why so much purple in the a95?

Persistent pink hue on the Sony. We’ve had many Sonys and I’ve never seen that before.

Brian thanks for this video. BB would not have put all these 4 different models side by side for obvious business reasons. In fact the BB in my area, all the higher models of TCL QM8 would be in their back room, still in their boxes. Hisense U8K would be near the general TV display area, again still in their boxes on the show floor. None of the two were displayed with any videos, period. If it weren't for you guys Brian, and Fomo, the Installer etc , putting up videos like this, most average buyers would be steered to their expensive higher ends models of Samny, Sony and LGs. I like your disclosure on non brand loyalty. Also the philosophy ( Fomo same) of not stubbornly and overly fixated on so called " Director's Intent, or ACCURACY." People are draw to whatever that make their eyes " happy". For many occasions in Dolby Vision material, the damn picture is so dark, especially Netflix, even on an outstanding OLED model, you don't see " Jack"!!!. My suggestion for your future videos, is not to identify the model and brand until near the end of you show. Many die hard or subconscious fans of certain brands would be surprised to find out how subjective and biased they're. For people would find anything good to say in their" brand" to support their bias if they know beforehand. I also respect your observations of people drawing to certain models without knowing the brand beforehand. I don't usually comment on videos I saw, but compelled to let you know, that you're doing a very good job. I agreed with your views and philosophy more often than not. Keep putting up good show like this to educate more average consumer. Also, could you comment on the reliability of Hisense? TCL got it good, how about Hisense?

I just ordered the U7k in 75" (a different panel -IPS - than the 65") I really hope I made the right decision. We can't get the TCL QM8 I EU and the OLED's are way more expensive. 🙂

Love the G3! That white just looks so white! Great video!

for the money..u7k is amazing...

Curious if the Hisense can hang with the Sony and the LG. Hope you had a good time at MWAVE

All I see when I watch this is A95k looks pink in every clip. G3 clear winner.

Rtings just finished the TCL M8 review. They said it had strange artifacts, and was not great at upscaling low content. In order to see this we need to see actual movies that have a lot of panning shots, or motion, and see if it's necessary to use motion control that might exhibit a soap opera effect. Or see some RU-vid or cable examples of real content. To me this is where the best of the best shines through. Nobody wants to be limited to the crappy movies they make nowadays!

LG is awesome.

tcl qm8 and lg g3 are the best there. both of them are really close like 100%vs98% but far away on pricing

price wise there shouldn't be a contest between QM8 and G3. I seriously can't justify bying not QD oled at this time with those prices

6 mins into video and for me G3 wins hands down, plus I prefer the cooler g3 colour profile, now we just need a g4 mla 87-89 or 97-100inch tvs, but based on price qm8 and u7k will win sadly blooming and blacks still cant beat oled.

I guess I'm in the minority here, but the G3 sometimes comes off as too white to me. It's amazing don't get me wrong, but it would be interesting to see it next to a reference monitor...

Brian u are first man on YT whit honest and profesional opinion ...your quote : EYE atracted to --THIS is all what we (ordenary ppl need ) ... I dont care if some thing have more acured color or other shits ..qm8 its KING now .. for price of g3 65inch u wil lget 85ich qm8 ..... Finde me 1 persone who will pick g365 over qm8 85 inch :) 1 more time U Doing great job man :)

i love to TCL, very great colors
