Our Verdict
LG UT8000
Hisense QD65NF
The Hisense QD65NF and the LG UT8000 are very similar overall; they trade blows in a few ways that might make one better than the other, depending on your preferences. If you care more about an accurate image, the LG is the way to go, as it's much more accurate out of the box. If you prefer a punchier image, though, the Hisense is the better choice, as it's brighter and has a much wider color gamut. This comes at the expense of accuracy, though, as the Hisense is visibly off in most content.
