The Hisense U7K has a higher refresh rate and generally performs better for fast-moving content like sports and gaming, whereas the TCL Q7, being less expensive, offers a lower refresh rate which may not be as good for these purposes. The Hisense U7K excels with a mini LED backlight, providing better viewing in darker environments, but if you're looking for a TV to use in a bright room, the TCL Q7 has a higher peak brightness which could make it a better option. Both TVs offer a large screen, 4k resolution, and voice control capabilities, but if you're willing to pay more, the Hisense U7K offers a better gaming experience and higher quality images in dark scenes.

The Hisense U7K (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the TCL Q7 (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U7K displays vibrant colors right out of the box and covers a wide range of colors, making it very good for watching cartoons & animation. In contrast, the TCL Q7 has somewhat less impressive color performance, with colors not as rich or vibrant initially, which renders it just good for the same content.

The Hisense U7K (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the TCL Q7 (LCD) is only fair.
The Hisense U7K LCD TV performs better for watching news, talk shows, and regular TV programs mainly due to its effective upscaling and bright SDR performance, which is very important for clear image quality in these viewing conditions. In contrast, the TCL Q7 LCD TV, while offering good SDR brightness, falls short with its upscaling and color performance out of the box, leading to a less optimal viewing experience for standard dynamic range content like news and talk shows.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Hisense U7K (LCD) to be very good for movies & TV, while the TCL Q7 (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U7K is very good for watching movies and cinematic TV due to its strong local dimming and black uniformity, which boost contrast for a more immersive experience, while the TCL Q7 is good in this regard, with slightly better contrast, but it doesn't reach the same level of performance in local dimming and black uniformity. Regarding color performance, both are capable out of the box, though neither excels in viewing angles, which means off-center viewing could be less impressive.

About Hisense
Hisense, a Chinese TV manufacturer, entered the US market in approximately 2011 and has since acquired TV divisions from various companies such as Toshiba, Sharp, Hitachi, and NEC. Currently ranking as the fourth largest vendor in terms of sales volume, Hisense aims to capture a wide range of TV budget segments. They offer exceptional value with TVs that often outperform their competitors at similar price points, making them a compelling choice for consumers. In the US, they use Google TV as their smart TV software which provides the largest app selection and a very modern user interface, however it is not as user friendly as the software from other vendors.
About TCL
TCL, the highly recognizable TV brand from China, has firmly established itself as the second-largest manufacturer in terms of sales volume. Renowned for striking an impressive balance between affordability, picture quality, and design, TCL TVs deliver a compelling overall package. While they have traditionally excelled in the low-end and midrange TV segments, TCL has recently made remarkable strides in the realm of high-end televisions, introducing impressive models that rival top competitors. Most TCL TVs use Roku software which is very user friendly and easy to use, but they have a few other models that use Google TV which has the largest app selection, but is not as user friendly as Roku.
