Caleb Dennison reviews the new Hisense QM9K TV...

TCL QM9K Declares War on Sony, Samsung, and LG | Review - CalebRated​

The TCL QM9K is marketed as the Ultimate Performance, but is it? I argue this TV is about much more than just the top performance choice for TCL’s customers. It’s a warning shot.

 
Here's Caleb Dennison's comparison test between the TCL QM8K & the Hisense U8QG...

TCL QM8K vs. Hisense U8QG | Which is your next TV? - CalebRated​

It’s the undeniable bang-for-your-buck favorite vs. one of the most aggressive TV designs we’ve seen yet? Which one is which, and which should you take home?

Spoiler alert: It’s a super tight race, and you need to watch this video to determine which option is best for you. Because, honestly, they are both pretty incredible.

 
While in SA, we're STILL waiting for anything more than the crappy C6K, which they peddle as the greatest TV to mankind, I see Newworld has the C7K. However, in typical fashion for TV sellers, they sell variants of the same models in different countries or the same models with different names but the same specs (which is infuriating).

Looking at the 85C7K, for example, you get differing specs for peak brightness. (I know there are differences for size, but these are all for the 85"). So can these TV brands try to standardise? Give us accurate specs and for the love of God, not bring 2025 models in 2026?????

Caleb Dennison shows how you can set your TCL TV for the best picture & viewing experience...

TCL TV Settings You Should Change Immediately (for the Best Picture) - CalebRated​

I'm not here to tell you what your picture settings should be, but I am here to tell you that you should change your TV's picture settings. Do that, and you'll be way ahead of the class.

In this video, we'll find the settings YOU like best as I guide you through a simple step-by-step process.

 
Sorry if this has been asked before, what is the equivalent of the QM8K here in South Africa?

I'm guessing the P8K? Or are the P8K and QM8K two completely different models?

The P8K is not Mini LED, so definitely not in the same class as the QM8K / C8K
 
Would you rather get a 98" TCL C6K for R35k or 85" TCL C7K for R30k? I know the C7K has the better panel with much more dimming zones, but is it that much better? Anyone here seen them in person yet?

seen some reviews using this exact comparison, and most seem to indicate the size makes a much bigger impact than the higher brightness or dimming zones of the better model... so they all seem to go for the bigger size.

Not entirely sure I agree, but at the same time, I'd rather pay more for a 98" C7K (on special for R49,999 now)
 
I'm waiting on Tafelberg to let me know when they expect to get the 65C7K. They currently only have the 85C7K available for some reason. Meanwhile I see that Hisense has a U7Q PRO that seems to compete with the TCL C7K. Have not seen this PRO model at many stores.

You can get it at Hirsch....interestingly, it is way cheaper than the non-pro model. Maybe an error?
