Late to the party...I would have thought they would have matched the Hisense pricing on the U8N that started a few weeks ago, already
Funny, I was mad that the U8's weren't lowered to the qm7 in the 98-100.
Yeah, some effort to come down from $4k for the 98 on BF/CM week. They feel like they already took 2k off. Guess they haven't gotten the memo that their better specs are washed out by a crappy screen coating and bad VRR.
That's a good deal on this 75" for $1299, at present anyways.
The sleeper here has been the 85U8N @ under $1700 just came back in on Amazon.
The deals on the 65" Oleds were too good the past week to consider anything else really at that size. I guess if you missed all of those

I am sure Hisense and TCL know they are chasing after the same customer base
There are people that wont give either brand a real look
So it seems that their pricing structure has often mimicked one another
Similar to Samsung and Sony
For an all around TV..I think the deal in an 85" was the Sony X93L that people were getting at best Buy for $1600...The 75" was $1200 I think...OfCourse that deal was YMMV...but worth the chase for sure as that TV has little flaw
So what's the deal with some people saying OLEDs have burn ins and shorter lifespan? Is that still true? Think that may be why people may pick a mini LED over OLED

Yeah that Sony BB deal was it; I was busy messing with the OLED ebay double dip at the time trying to get an 83"and when I pivoted the Sony's were gone. My area is so SD'er rich that they go fast! Just glad I wasn't counting on the WM Sony wrong item advertised.
I got one of those BB 77" C3's for $1500 to go pickup. What do you think about that vs. the Hisense 85u8n for $150 more? @10ft seated viewing, but open island kitchen behind that we multi/watch from or drink from during a big game lol.

That sounds like a bright area...you might be better off the with the Hisense 85U8
Unless you can get a LG G4 for somewhere near that same price....which I know is probably not going to happen
I guess it depends on what you are going to do more of....watch movies I say go for the OLED
if its casual viewing and sports I say the LED
So what's the deal with some people saying OLEDs have burn ins and shorter lifespan? Is that still true? Think that may be why people may pick a mini LED over OLED
I say they are promoting hearsay
You can buy a pretty good mini led these days( from Hisense /TCL) for less than a base OLED

I'm still awaiting a scheduled delivery of the 999 deal for the 65 s90c oled but the QM8 at 100 bucks less is still tempting. I love my LG C1 but I'm intrigued by the full screen brightness potential of the QM8. I also love my older TCL models as they have been decently reliable over the last 4 years

I ordered the 65inch QM7, do you all think the $200 sale price difference is enough to retrun and spend extra to get QM8, is the $200 worth it in features and difference in TV. My QM7 is being delivered on Monday the 9th.
So what's the deal with some people saying OLEDs have burn ins and shorter lifespan? Is that still true? Think that may be why people may pick a mini LED over OLED
Take your OLED price and divide by 5x. That's how much you're paying annually for your OLED TV. After 5 years, it's probably toast if you watch with any frequency ...
As for QM7 vs. QM8. Are you really watching in a room that's got full sunlight, and you're watching all the time in mid-day? And you know that the average TV needs that 1000+ nits brightness like, once per 2 hours for about 3-5 seconds, for that one explosion in Mad Max : Fury Road . Is it really worth the extra $200 for that? I mean, seriously? Also, when ALL of the high-power Mini-Leds (from Hisense AND TCL) are wearing out EARLY on the rtings.com long-term tests, are you sure you want a Mini-Led that lasts just as short as an OLED ?? I did a calculation and you're paying $56 per hour of super-bright 1000-nits operation if what I'm saying about the frequency in movies is correct - over the lifetime of the TV.
Hisense and TCL are trying to destroy the OLED market. LG (and now Samsung - with QD-OLED) are the only companies that can make OLED panels. The chinese cannot make them. So the chinese are trying to destroy ALL of the korean TV makers. They will stop at nothing - including state subsidies, giving TVs away at below-the-cost-to-manufacture-them, to force LG & Samsung out of business. They are offering super-bright TVs with thousands of dimming zones because those are the things that OLED cannot do .. yet. They hope to drive Samsung and LG out of business before these irresponsibly over-bright almost-on-fire Chinese TVs start to fail, which apparently, they are doing rather quickly, according to rtings.com .

The rtings article pretty much says the edge lit TVs are significantly prone to failure. These TCLs and Hisense models are FALD TVs though

A lot of your opinion injected into that
I guess I must be an odd ball that has an OLED that over 5 years old?
In fact I bought another one in March..the Sony A95L..Spectacular TV to my eyes
Rtings seems to like it as well..stating this "The Sony A95L is one of the absolute best TVs that money can buy. Offering a perfect combination of impressive picture quality and a wide range of features for everything from streaming shows to playing games, there's not much else on the market that even comes close." https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/sony/a95l-oled
I am also not seeing where these ultra bright LED's fail , in longevity tests, more so than their dimmer brand counterparts
It does seem that brands like samsung perform better than TCL and Hisense
I would also have to ask myself is this real world in my environment and therefore is it relevant
Is the Hisense U75 comparable?
Costco has the 65" for $699 through 12/8. Comes with 5 year warranty, Google play $50 gift card and also qualifies for Costco multiple order discount.

Is it worth getting the extended warranty for an tcl these days? I bought the 75" qm7 from BB at $899 deal. 2yr extra warranty is $119
