I performed a hands-on evaluation of the 65-inch Hisense U8H series, but this review also applies to the other screen sizes in the series. In my book these two TVs are the 1 and 1A of 2022 midpriced televisions, and you can't go wrong with either one.

The two have similar features, including top-notch gaming connectivity, although Hisense does include an ATSC 3.0 tuner that TCL lacks. TCL's design, in particular its stand and remote, gets my nod by a nose. You could get a better picture with an OLED TV like the LG C2, but it would cost a lot more.īeyond image quality I like TCL's Roku TV system better, although Hisense's Google TV is also impressive. Both are great, and both beat the slightly less expensive Vizio MQX in my tests. The Hisense won for sheer brightness but the TCL wasn't far behind, and the TCL had a more refined, accurate image for demanding home theater material. In side-by-side comparisons I preferred the picture the TCL 6-Series, but it was a tough call.

'Theater' picture modes engage motion smoothing by default.

Slightly less refined image than some competitors.
