TCL QM7K vs Hisense U65QF: Which TV Is Better?

The TCL QM7K is much better than the Hisense U65QF. The TCL has much better contrast, resulting in deeper, more uniform blacks and less haloing around bright parts of the scene. The TCL also gets a lot brighter, especially in small specular highlights, so you'll see more bright details in some scenes.
