The U7K has a lot more zones (240 vs 128). The TCL also doesn't completely turn off the zones so you'll never get perfect inky black levels.

I've generally preferred the LD algorithm of Hisense over TCL - less black crush and better perceived contrast IMO (with the exception of the U6K which is horrible, so avoid that - the U6H or even U6G are better but only 60hz).

The R655 looks better in the rtings review but I don't know if black crush is still an issue - I noticed it on the R635 a couple of years ago.

Rtings R646 Series Review: 8.0/10
https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews...-2021-qled
Pretty solid for a 2021 model even after being updated to Rtings latest v1.11 Test Bench.
Caveat seems to be bad sharpness processing with low-resolution / low-bitrate content.

The Hisense 55" U75K is going on sale at Costco by mid-Nov for $499.99 ($100+ than this TCL deal). They are virtually the same exact TV.


The Costco/Hisense deal comes with a 3 year warranty in the $500 price
This Best Buy/TCL deal is $450 for 2-year warranty and $480 for a 5-year warranty

I think I'm going to go with this BB/TCL deal

Is this TV likely to have a better deal during black Friday? These older 6-series/5-series TVs seem to be getting low on stock and I don't want to miss out on them because TCL's newer TVs don't seem as good. I want to get 2 matching TVs for my man cave. I've been kicking myself that I missed a black Friday deal last year when the 5-series 55" was on sale for $200 at best buy.

Thanks for the heads up was waiting to buy a new T.V. for the bedroom, but I will wait for that deal to happen. I love Costco warranty and if it comes with a 3 year warranty to me its a no brainer will wait for it.

Seems very low stock or OOS. No shipping available near me and closest store is 100 miles away with 1 in stock.

Currently it's $550 at Costco. You can pay extra $50 and enjoy without waiting.

That's a good deal. If I haven't gotten the $200 5-Series less than a year ago I'd jump on this

I'm looking for a good 65" about 500. I want something better than the cheapest models but don't want to spend a ton.

Can wait until Black Friday

As someone already stated, the Hisense U7K is better in some noticable ways. Plus with the U7K being the latest Hisense model, I would say it is worth that price increase.

Obviously if you hard constrained on budget, this TCL is really good too.
