TCL QM7L vs Hisense U7SG
Get the Hisense U7SG. Unless you want the punchiest picture in its class — then the TCL QM7L's brighter, richer colour is worth the extra.
TCL QM7L
A very bright Mini LED with deep blacks for the money, and a 55-inch size. Tom's Guide's top Mini LED value of 2026.
Hisense U7SG
Very bright with a matte anti-glare screen. The best TV for a sunny room without OLED money.
