Quote from SpyCracker :
I have this TV for my entertainment room, I also have QN90B downstairs. I use them both daily depending on the room we chill, I 100% prefer TCL it just looks better for me. Brighter and better colors, I also find speakers better sounding than the Samsung. I use Apple tv 4k on all my TVs so don't really care about the TV software but nothing can be worst than Tizen anyways.
I have both Samsung S95B (Tizen) and Sony X90CK (Google TV) and Sony lags a lot relative to Tizen. Tizen is fast, at least navigating through the menus, and I don't use either interface much as I have a Fire TV Cube for all the streaming needs!

Btw, in Tizen, you can set it up to use the last used input and when I power on the TV - this way, it automatically switches to Fire TV Cube. I don't have any such option in Sony, fwiw!

Great, sounds like the Samsung is for you. But I see no reason to think one is a better value overall, as the TVs are absolutely in the same ballpark.
Quote from turnne :
For my preferences..I dont think they are and the quirkiness mentioned by rtings.com gives me pause as well

For the same price its an easy Samsung decision, for me

For the Hisense U8H price of $300 ish less it could be compelling
Exactly! If I am in the market for a $1.200 TV, it's a no brainer to go with a Samsung S95B because that's what I did. laugh out loud

For people who think that the burn-in is a real issue, guess what - all the big 3 manufacturers have built in protection for the panel. Read on: https://reviewed.usatoday.com/tel...event-burn

My 55" TCL from 2017 (spent $699) is losing its backlighting and half the screen is really dark. No thanks. YGWYPF.

Originally wanted this until I saw the slickdeal of the 75 qn90b that went on sale for $1600 beginning of summer.

now I'm wondering if I should wait until the qn90c goes on clearance just so I can get quality and durability next year

I guess its a hit or miss, my Tizen will be frozen at least once a day if I do operations too fast. I had to setup in a way as soon as I turn on apple tv it switches to it so I don't even have to touch the samsung remote.

I returned 1 S95B 1 S95C back to samsung. S95B was doing crazy buzz noise when it was off and as it turns out its a common issue , S95Cs one connect box was a nightmare, not recognizing appletv / xbox etc. They sent me a replacement one and that ones ethernet port wasn't working. And it was a lot of work packing these TVs and returning them back. I am definitely staying clear of samsung for a while.

Same price on Amazon.

I am tempted. This would be an upgrade to my 5 year old Sony 930e in pretty much every way aside from upscaling and motion handling.

I have a 900h and my friend has this, if you watch cable or SDR/low res content he said mine unfortunately looks better kinda pisses him off, movies and HDR content no contest but he watches cable more then movies 🤣

rtings.com would suggest that the Hisense U8H is a better set than this TCL QM8...and the Hisense is $799

Personally I would buy an extended warranty on either of them if I were going that route

It's not apples to apples. They upgrade their bench setup. The U8H was reviewed on an older benchmark. They even said you can't directly compare the reviews based off their bench.

Yes...that is why I look at the raw numbers and compare those
Additionally I look at comments they make such as the their statement about the TCL QM8 versus the Samsung QN90B
"It's also less buggy than the TCL, which is full of strange quirks"

The X900H was not a very good Sony TV versus its predecessors X900E and X900F
Thought it still retained the picture processing that Sony is known for

Anyone recommend buying 2 year best buy geek squad if I'm thinking about buying open box excellent?
I bought the display model for $487 and purchased the 5 year warranty for an extra $99. TV is amazing, and I'm covered for 5 years. Go for it.

For people not playing videogames the U8H is probably the best bang for the buck when it comes to MLED.
So interesting story

One of my local Best Buy stores had one U8H that stated it was an open box online.
I thought what the heck..people have been raving about this Tv and I would take a look
I assumed it would be sitting out where I could play with it and adjust and see what I thought

Well..someone had purchased it , returned it and never even opened it
So it was actually a new in box 65" Hisense U8H for $600...so I bit

Playing with it a little bit...There are some moments of greatness when playing 4K content
However, the Samsung QN90A that I have , has it beat in a couple of areas
The picture processing on the Samsung is better , especially if you are watching lower than 4K resolution content
Flesh tones are not quite there on the Hisense so I am still making adjustments to try to improve that
Playing 4K HDR content it definitely gives the Samsung a run for its money

$600 new in box for Hisense versus $685 open box for the Samsung QN90a 8-9 months ago
