Hisense UR9SG
TCL QM8L
The TCL QM8L is a bit better overall than the Hisense UR9SG. The TCL is brighter, and it has a better local dimming system, making it a more versatile choice for both bright and dark rooms. The TCL uses a more traditional backlight system instead of the RGB system found on the Hisense. While this results in slightly less saturated colors on the TCL in some scenes, there's also no trace of color crosstalk, which can be a distracting issue on the Hisense at times.

I had a Q70R. I upgraded to a 65QM851G a little over 3 years later. HUGE upgrade. I wanted a 75" this year so I picked up a 75QM8L in May and couldn’t be happier. Outstanding for 1699.99.
The TCL is better than the Hisense, but as for whether you should get an OLED or not it really depends on your usage. If you’re mainly watching TV during the day and aren’t gaming all the time, the TCL is the best choice. If you mainly watch at night or with the blinds closed or game a lot, an OLED is a better choice.
I currently have a Samsung Q80R. Would I see a big improvement with a 75-inch TCL QM8 or Hisense UR9SG, or should I go for an OLED?
For 65" it’s a toss up. For 75" and bigger TCL is the clear winner 🏆
