#QM8 #HISENSE #A95L - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
Thank you for watching everyone! The A95K appears warm on camera as the sensors pick it up that way, and it's only noticeable in comparison to the others.
Their was no winner announced simply because Hisense donated it, then turned into a showcase rather than a competition. Thanks again for watching!
As they say, "no, thank you!"
For the price, U7K is just stunning anyway
You did a great job at MWAVE Brian. I had not paid attention to TVs much in a couple years and you made it easy to get caught up quickly on the new tech.
Thank you so very much my friend! I really appreciate it.
When I'm looking for a comparison, I'm looking for this!, tysm, what a great video and content creator you are 😊
Thank you so very much! I really appreciate it! Thank you for watching
Brian you guys did a fantastic job at the show. Thanks for taking the time with everyone and really showing them the differences between the sets. It was a great experiance and very well done.
Thank you so very much, and it was my absolute pleasure. Fomo and I truly enjoyed it and we are already planning for next year.
The underdog U7K did amazing actually, in my eyes at least it was very similar to the LG as far as shadow details and colors....considering it wasn't a fair comparison since the U8K would had been the right one.
Perfectly said! Thank you for watching
If you pause it at exactly 5:40 and compare the Squirrel pictures in detail, the fur the eye and especially the hand and whiskers there's only one that almost matches the G3 for detail and colour and that's the U7K. Amazing really when you consider the price difference!
TCL QM8 looks closest to the LG G3 which is really impressive considering the cost difference! Mini led is very close to oled! The Hisense U8K would be a better comparison.
Hello. Why are there different colors on all four TV sets? if all the TVs were calibrated. Was the calibration done using Calman on three TV sets (except Hisense)?
I like that you mentioned build quality. I only really paid attention to picture quality and never gave much consideration to build quality (especially for a bedroom TV) until I received a TCL QM8 with a cracked screen. I was shocked to see how flimsy the screen appeared to be. It looked like a cheap polycarbonate screen protector you see cracked on people's phones vs the nicer screens I'm used to. Now, that's probably not an issue for most folks, but these are definitely going to be more easily damaged. I can tell where costs were cut. People need to be careful unboxing and setting up that thing. It ended up being replaced by an LG OLED.
So sorry that happened to you my friend
Great video Brian, by the way I did receive my brand new A95K replacement and so far this panel looks cleaner picture quality wise than the one that died so I’m very happy with it so far, keep the great videos coming 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Such great news my friend! Enjoy!
Brian thank you for the video, your dedication towards providing us with valuable information is commendable.
You mentioned that the u7k you had at home performed better when compared to the one in the video. Do you think it’s because of the va panel that Hisense used in the 65” and the ads panel used in 75” one? I was planning on buying the 75” u7k.
The pleasure is mine my friend. I think the panel we had there may have been defective. The 75" ADS is apparently very good.
Can't wait for the 98" TCL QM8 to release as it might be my next TV
In Australia we don't have the QM8, I haven't seen 1 but we do have the TCL C845, is that the same as the qm8? Going by the picture alone, out of the u7k, tcl c845 or the Sony x85k, which is the better tv?
that was FUN!
question, with the improvements of oled, mla and all. how are the darker scenes? before darker scenes are too dark where you can barely see the details.
looking to buy a TV, any input is appreciated
I would like to know the same
So what tv is better for gaming? Hisense u8k or tcl qm8?
Wow, just from this vid, the G3 is in a league of its own. Looks killer.
As far as price goes that QM8 is hard to ignore as well
You can't tell from the video at all. The G3 looks bluer than it is and the A95K looks redder. Seeing these demos in real life is night and day different.
@@micker9830 I prob didn’t express myself clearly in my comment, I was judging strictly from this vid. I would imagine in person things could be different. I actually wrote that as a reply to my previous comment.
@@StationOutlookthere’s nothing wrong with owning a Volkswagen but when you can you get a Porsche
@@brokenwrench404 absolutely.. oh I wasn't planning on buying a QM8 just so that's clear
Looking forward to this!
Can you please share the calibration settings with the Apple TV using Dolby Vision Bright, it’s different then the tv settings.
I'll see if I can get that for you. Thank you for watching
Here to watch G3 and A95.
Also waiting patiently for a80l vs a95k
Any chance the TCl q7 will be reviewed? thanks for all your work keep it up!
Thank you! I'll definitely try my best.
I have the Sony A9G I was wondering do you think I should upgrade to the A95K in your opinion is there a big difference in image quality Dolby Vision/HDR wise. Or do you think wait a little longer for more upgrade???? Thanks
Great question! The a9G is legendary and is the first Sony oleds master series. However, it wasn't the brightest oled. The A95K is much brighter with more color and superior processing, not to mention all the gaming features. Dolby Vsion is also better as Sony's dolby vision was very dark. All that said, I'd still wait for the A95L to drop as it will be a better upgrade, and it will also drive down the price of the a95K. Hope this helps.
Great video. The QM8 does look great. Still, were times there was blooming that ones eyes cannot unsee. As an LG OLED owner, blooming is not an issue. However now I want a 98 inch TV. Cost is in INSANE for OLED. So the QM8 looks pretty good :) Excellent job on the vid.
LG G3 is clear winner 🏆
I finally pulled the trigger on a 2023 TCLQM8 85 inch when it got down to $1499. Delivery this thursday June 6. fingers crossed.
How is it
Will take a peek at this one Brian😊
Do you think the mini led panel blooming problem can be solved with a good software update ??
On which one my friend? The Hisense U7K at home has very little blooming.
U7K is a model below the top of the line Hisense (U8K). The U8K would be the one to compare to the others in this video. With that being said the U7K does a great job. I just ordered the 75U7K for $899! Can't wait to try it out! It will be replacing a 6 year old 4k 65 inch insignia Roku TV.
Just got the same 75", it's Beautiful!
Awesome! I have been loving it. @@gym_ride_repeat3739
Im ordering the 65" in the morning if the price don't jump up on me.
I'd love to see a samsung qn95c vs tcl qm8 or even last years qn90b vs tcl qm8 comparison!
I'll try and make it happen for you
Its a pity we cannot get a proper picture translation to camera, QD-Oled's magenta really gets excessively boosted when filmed.
This is true but not on every shot. Thank you for watching
Brian from seeing tons of TVs in person I wanted to pick your brain regarding two. I unfortunately haven’t been able to see the TCL QM8 in person, but I’m torn between the qm8 and Samsung qn90b. Both in 85 inches, from seeing the qn90b in person at 85 inches I was shocked at how good it looked. Primarily it will be for sports, mma, basketball,
Boxing
The QN90B is terrible with blooming. It only has 720 dimming zones. Not even close comparatively to the MQ8 with 5000. That said, TCL hasn't put them all to best use IMHO. They could do better, with a better processor and software. Maybe the 2024 models will do even better.
so the Q8m is basically C935 without some features and polished preccessing?
Thanks brian, waiting for x90l vs x95l
I got you my friend
how do you compare the 83" A90j vs the LG G3 dark room picture quality?
It's very interesting as the G3 doesn't have MLA however the C2 looked identical to the A90J in our tests so I'm sure even the non mla g3 does a bit better. I love the a90J
Brian, I saw one of your comments in this thread that your making a review comparison between the U8K and the QM8? Can you please try to see how they perform using content with a black back drop and stars? There are a lot of people on AV Forums saying that in content with stars, using the QM8, it is impossible to see even a quarter of the stars in scene like the opening of a Star Wars film when the intro credits are rolling like in the Phantom Menace
Why is the A95K having a strong magenta cast to the entire picture? I think something is wrong with the calibration. I replayed the same videos on my A95K and it looks way better.
TH-cam is never accurate .
The reason you see it here but not on your camera at home is that I'm filming four tv's at once. The sensors pick each TV up individually. Yes it pushes red but not on every shot
@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY great reply .
then this test makes no sense@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY
If you go to 13.55 min and pause. you can see that all the TV's are crushing black terribly except for the U7K and that also has much more detail if you look at some of the other images like grass trees,and fur.
That is youtube compression my friend. However the look of the Hisense is accurate and was excellent at shadow detail. Thank you for watching
My 77" g3 was delivered today! Its not even on the wall yet, and i saw this video posted. I am sooooooooo thankful i went with the g3 and not the a95k that i was debating between. Awesome video!
@@TheAntifluencer lol lg hater? 🤣 Enjoy your tv.
@mightymouse1111 glad you are loving it! Really appreciate you letting me know how you like it
Saw a 77" G3 w/MLA some time ago at a Best Buy and it rivaled the picture quality of it's big EXPENSIVE brother, the Z series! That MLA combined with already excellent G3 has put it in a league of it's own...even better in my opinion than Samsung's S95C...Can't wait til next year when it's offered in an 83" 😊
Perfectly said Eric! Thank you as always my friend
Color way off on Sony but could be caused by video camera. Trying to pick between u7k and q7 and since the u7k looks as good as any of these, I'm set.
Brian… which tv has the best motion?? Witch one has less studder and judder?
The G3 has the best motion and pixel response, then the a95K. The U7K and then the QM8
Thanks Brian, really love your content and the way you communicate to your viewers. I am pretty upset that MLA is only reserved to G series, wish it was also for C series, I'd pay premium, there are no G series sold in my country. /:
Thank you for the very kind words, Alek, I also completely understand about the limited MLA in regards to LG. Hopefully next year is better. Thank you for being part of the community and family
I love your channel jefe!❤All you need is a reference monitor but...Why are you showing the U7K instead of the U8K, their flagship? Your channel is better than FOMO's.
Good video my brotha
Thank you bro! Hope you are loving your Samsung! Much love
Out of these 4 tvs best for watching live hockey? In a darker room. Thank you. Great videos !
I'd say the G3 is good as it has very strong whites, but hockey may cause the oled to dim as it's full field white. So the QM8 would be my choice. I hope this helps and thank you for watching
Good work Brian
Thank you!😁
The G3 is a real beauty and if I had the money I would grab one no doubt about it. Great video my brother.
Thank you as always for being here brother
Brian .... Question .... to watch movies .... Tcl qm8 or Hisense u8k ?? Thanks
I'll actually know in a few days as it's on its way to me right now. Stay tuned
Its hard C3 55' for 950 dlls or U7K 65' for 800 😢 why do you think?
You stated that the units were all calibrated. Were the calibrations equally successful? I am stunned by how off the colors on the Sony appeared - you said that it was a camera issue, but most of the scenes seemed to have a strong cast, maybe magenta, on that screen only. TBH I'm watching this on a plasma that has had a basic cal but you're pointing out the relative differences which will mostly show up in any case. Are the colors of the different emitters that different between the Sony and the LG?
The red push is on all qd-oleds .
They were calibrated using the best equipment and one of the best calibrators in the business. QD-OLEDs push that shade on all cameras especially this content but not on every shot. The next comparison with different content shows I'm them a bit better. Thank you for watching
LG is awesome.
Your version will go up tomorrow 😘
LG OLED will forever be a benchmark, and i can immediately tell that QM8 is the closest in the terms of quality (minus minor blooming). even in this video the crowd choose TCL after LG
Why so much purple in the a95?
It's disturbing to see how wildly different the colors are between them. I thought that calibration meant having an error score below the visual threshold but these are all very noticeably different from each other.
Great job Brian, nicley done.
Thank you so much my friend
@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY that G3 is making me deal even though I have the A95K
Thanks Brian
Thank you Craig!
It was great meeting you! Made me drool over my the G3 with it MLA technology. I hope LG brings it to the C line next year.
Nice job with the video and show. As to the TVs, I'd say: 1. G3, 2. QM8, 3.....
So glad you enjoyed! Thank you for sharing your thoughts and for watching the video and channel
Damn shame the qn95c wasnt here Brian! Id love to see a G3 vs Qn95c video.
I can show you at ValueElectronics.com
My eyes get drawn to the QM8 the most, TCL really did good with this model! The only thing I noticed was sometimes the colors seemed a tad over processed and didn't have the gradient control the Sony displays and then it appeared kinda blotchy in areas. Particularly the green on the Iguana, Chameleon, and frog... but deeper greens can be a notoriously hard color for LCD based TV's. The Sony just seemed off to me, which is very unusual. The Sony had very good color control, but honestly seemed blah overall. It looked over brightened and thus kinda washed out... which just seems very un Sony. Hisense is definitely good for the price, but I always feel they're just a step or so behind TCL. LG is of course extremely good, but I don't think anyone with G3 money will cross shop a Hisense or TCL anything. The G3 is too high end/niche for most people, the average person is goin for the C3.
Excellent comment! Thank you so much for watching
what. you think the average person is going for the g3? What planet do you live on.
I like the G3 best and followed by U7K. Sony, has too much red in the picture. QM8 in third place
I think you're right. To my eye it seems the U7k is closest over all to the G3. And that's really some feat considering the price!
The colors on G3 is best to my eyes 👌
Hey! Why wasn’t the Samsung QN90A included in this comparison when it was actually present along side these 4 TVs
Simply because it was 98" and actually would have been crushed in it's calibrated preset
@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY Does that imply that it’s an inferior TV compared to the competition since I am seriously contemplating buying it. Thanks for your reply.
Contemplating it at 98”
@Ravi-zz3dz unfortunately it is as it's the QN90A from three years ago. It definitely looks better without the cinema settings . It needs the standard preset to look good
@Ravi-zz3dz very hard to recommend from my time with it .
Would love to see the S90c thrown in there!
It was there but died after calibration. Brand new TV
@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY Died!! and C3 too? why ? that's weird
@M.Z.M no C3 needed as we had the G3. If you watch the full stream on Fomo's channel you'll see the broken S90C
My eyes keep gravitate towards the LG G3 because of how 3D it looks!
Would have loved to see how the x93L/ x95L matches up. In the market for a 65 in and I keep switching between TCL/Hisense/Sony. From what I've watched, out of these 3 Hisense appears to have the better sound quality and motion processing than the TCL.
You can see how the X95L and X93L perform here th-cam.com/video/c2doAc5fQfU/w-d-xo.html against eachother. Thank you so much for watching
X90L should be up there too Brian.
That comparison you'll see next week at my home my friend
@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY Thanks. Your review will determine whether I will get that TV or not.
@alexandros1948 wow that's alot of pressure😁
@alexandros1948 I got you Alexander
@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY Thanks man. You and FOMO are the only few I would ever consider legit and unbiased.
It is rather difficult with white balance setting from camera onto TV making comparison hard for me to judge.
It is completely understandable, which is why I mention the shots where the content showcases the similar look. The Sony ( QD-OLED) triggers the sensor in some shots but not all. Thank you for watching
The Sony A95k seems to be the least bright but seems to offer more detail and natural colors. All the others seem to compensate by the high brightness and strong colors while not to the point of color bleed they look rather off.
we are talking about the m8B? or the m8G?, there are big differencies between those models!!!
That's funny it looks like this Jason guy fixed the red push on the QM8 like your other calibrator couldn't with FOMO.
G3 Just dominates. It’s hard to imagine how much better a TV could possibly be.
How do people decide a non existent (tv they have not seen) is better.
@@TheAntifluencerjust enjoy your changhong or whatever tv you have bro... dont bother yourself with other tv especially lg g3 this one is not for you.
@@sbusisozulu995excellent point😂
@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY It’s honestly beyond me. It’s all over the internet for months now. Sony fans been saying it’s the best t.v and tv of the year beating existing tv yet no one has seen it. Seems like internet people just say whatever they have read somewhere.
A95L is an OLED tv and it has to deliver like any other product. It can’t be given title of best t.v when no one has really seen it!
@@sbusisozulu995 trust me that I know. The A95L will be excellent however I can't tell people with 100% without seeing it first. Thank you for watching my friend
FOMO you should have put your calibrated Hisense U8H. I think it’s the king of TVs last year and this year when going against the best.
A lot of pink in the Sony. I really like it. The colors seem more unique in Sony
Without considering cost but going purely on picture quality and detail over all I'd say it looks like 1st G3. 2nd U7K. 3Rd QM8. 4th A95K.
LG G3 is vibrant and is very high performance and clearly the winner to me! But the A95 has some better precise graphics at in different scenes just like the QM8 does also. But believe it or not the U7K has better contrast in some scenarios. But unfortunately the QM8 and U7K does have some noticeable blooming. Personally I'm still looking into getting the Hisense U7K because I need a good tv upgrade that isnt the price of a used car. Something thats still consumer budget friendly
Also Brian , I did forget to mention that you and the team did a fantastic job with the side by side comparison of 4 TV sets! I hope to see more 4 TV side by side comparisons of different models like this one in the future. 👍
@jsii4086 much appreciated my friend!
G3 then QM8 then A95k then U7K, I need a 85 or 98 inch so QM8 for my use case. Wish the new MLA tech was in the 83 inch.
Just curious, when people found out how inexpensive the U7K was, did their opinions change? Agreed with others, the U8K would have been a better comparison but in certain respects, using the U7K was a great way of showing that you don't have to break the bank to get a decent looking TV. :)
The more I watch the more undecided I become. I had pretty much decided on the U7K but after watching this I may have to look at the QM8.
Bruan i remeger watching ur video the very first oled u had ever had c1 i think that wasnt lokg ago u came w long way
I actually rented a 55" B9🤣🤣
@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY that's it and right after I got myself a b9 so have b9 and c1 for now just ordered 65 u7k, but we was both new to OLED and it was b9..sold it to step daughter but still going strong
G3 All day just got mines a week ago.
Awesome! Hope you are loving it! Thank you for watching
LG G3 hands down the best picture quality.
Hisense u7k!! My next tv😊👍🏼
It's very good my friend! The one I have here is even better. Thank you for watching
@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY can't wait for your review on the uk7!
Brian thanks for this video. BB would not have put all these 4 different models side by side for obvious business reasons. In fact the BB in my area, all the higher models of TCL QM8 would be in their back room, still in their boxes. Hisense U8K would be near the general TV display area, again still in their boxes on the show floor. None of the two were displayed with any videos, period. If it weren't for you guys Brian, and Fomo, the Installer etc , putting up videos like this, most average buyers would be steered to their expensive higher ends models of Samny, Sony and LGs. I like your disclosure on non brand loyalty. Also the philosophy ( Fomo same) of not stubbornly and overly fixated on so called " Director's Intent, or ACCURACY." People are draw to whatever that make their eyes " happy". For many occasions in Dolby Vision material, the damn picture is so dark, especially Netflix, even on an outstanding OLED model, you don't see " Jack"!!!. My suggestion for your future videos, is not to identify the model and brand until near the end of you show. Many die hard or subconscious fans of certain brands would be surprised to find out how subjective and biased they're. For people would find anything good to say in their" brand" to support their bias if they know beforehand. I also respect your observations of people drawing to certain models without knowing the brand beforehand. I don't usually comment on videos I saw, but compelled to let you know, that you're doing a very good job. I agreed with your views and philosophy more often than not. Keep putting up good show like this to educate more average consumer. Also, could you comment on the reliability of Hisense? TCL got it good, how about Hisense?
for the money..u7k is amazing...
Absolutely! Great comment!
Love the G3! That white just looks so white! Great video!
Thank you Flow!
Left side is yellow rich, (hisense TCL)
Right upper is red rich (Sony)
Right lower is blue rich (seems natural, LG)
Persistent pink hue on the Sony. We’ve had many Sonys and I’ve never seen that before.
All I see when I watch this is A95k looks pink in every clip. G3 clear winner.
The Sony just looks like it’s got a strange tint to it ,anyone else picking up on this ? It doesn’t look natural .
Pink tint on QD Oled over camera. Not the same in person and hard to just all the TVs correctly not being in person. Exposures and color won’t be the most accurate over the camera.
Simply the way QD-OLED looks on camera at times.
Curious if the Hisense can hang with the Sony and the LG. Hope you had a good time at MWAVE
It was amazing Tristan! Would love to meet you in person brother
@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY same my friend same♥️♥️
LG G3 nice
Rtings just finished the TCL M8 review. They said it had strange artifacts, and was not great at upscaling low content.
In order to see this we need to see actual movies that have a lot of panning shots, or motion, and see if it's necessary to use motion control that might exhibit a soap opera effect. Or see some TH-cam or cable examples of real content.
To me this is where the best of the best shines through. Nobody wants to be limited to the crappy movies they make nowadays!
This we did do in person on all content including sports. Unfortunately due to copyright I can't show it
I believe 100% wih rtings review. Only because i bought the tcl Q7 and returned it because motion was horrible and wierd artifacts would pop up with any kind of motion. I wish tv reviewers like fomo would have mentioned that when he recommended the tcl Q7… the picture and black level was grrat but the motion was absolutely horrible
The Sony A95K is on a different level.
I guess I'm in the minority here, but the G3 sometimes comes off as too white to me. It's amazing don't get me wrong, but it would be interesting to see it next to a reference monitor...
i love to TCL, very great colors
6 mins into video and for me G3 wins hands down, plus I prefer the cooler g3 colour profile, now we just need a g4 mla 87-89 or 97-100inch tvs, but based on price qm8 and u7k will win sadly blooming and blacks still cant beat oled.
U8k has less blooming and better blacks .
Who said than oled ?!
Great comment my friend
Brian u are first man on YT whit honest and profesional opinion ...your quote : EYE atracted to --THIS is all what we (ordenary ppl need ) ... I dont care if some thing have more acured color or other shits ..qm8 its KING now .. for price of g3 65inch u wil lget 85ich qm8 ..... Finde me 1 persone who will pick g365 over qm8 85 inch :) 1 more time U Doing great job man :)
The QM8 is awesome, my friend! Thank you for the kind words, and thank you so much for watching
tcl qm8 and lg g3 are the best there. both of them are really close like 100%vs98% but far away on pricing
Very true! Thank you so much for watching
price wise there shouldn't be a contest between QM8 and G3. I seriously can't justify bying not QD oled at this time with those prices
