TCL QM8L vs Hisense UR9: You Might Hate My Conclusion - Caleb Dennison​

The TCL QM8L and Hisense UR9 are the two high-performance TVs I think most folks will be considering this year. In then end, one doesn't destroy the other, but they do take very different routes to get to a similar destination.

What I'm not prepared to do -- yet -- is conduct a conclusive SQD vs. RGB showdown. Instead, this is a great example of how two TVs can end up looking very similar, but feeling very different.

 

This TV Broke TV Reviews: TCL QM7L TV Review - CalebRated​

The TCL QM7L fundamentally changed how I think TV reviews should be done.

Instead of starting with meters, charts, and test patterns, I spent about eight hours just watching it like a normal TV owner. THEN I got to measuring, and what I found helps explain why different reviewers have reached such different conclusions about this TV.

Basically, I reviewed this TV in reverse, and I'm glad I did.The QM7L isn’t reference-grade, and it isn’t perfect. Its off-angle picture quality is a real limitation, and serious gamers may be disappointed by its motion performance.

But for most viewers, it delivers an exceptionally bright, exciting, and enjoyable picture at a remarkably competitive price.

In this review, I explain what the measurements reveal, what they fail to reveal, and why the TCL QM7L may have changed how I review midrange TVs going forward.

Can you see if it has built in sub woofer?did you hang it on a wall?
Does a vesa mount work?
 
Haven't checked in on this chat for some time - Just wanted to say hi :p

And when you have to move and pack this moerse 85" somehow, and transport it, good luck! Your anxiety shoots up! I was honestly more worried about the TV than my computer setup and sound system.

I am holding on to my 85" box just in case..
 
Couldn't help myself :(
Reviews online were pointing towards this lineup being great, especially deep blacks and viviv colors (which just screams yes for me)
I was nearly going a size up, but I'm seated 3.8 meters away, and 85" still strikes the best in terms of sizing and cinematic experience.

Getting the legs on my 85" was probably the most nerve wrecking 20 minutes of my life...
 
Looking at the one I have now, dis n groot d0oz though?

I'm trying to figure out where I should store it.
Mine is in the garage.. upright against the wall, vertically..

Other than that, if you have a bed that is high enough off the ground, storing it under the bed is an option..

Else wrap it up nice and tight with some black bags to keep it dry and store it outside of the weather best you can..
