This deal was already posted. Its an ok deal. If you need a tv right now then go for it. However, if you wait, you can get a better tv for less. The TCL 98QM7 has been under $2K a couple of times in the past couple of months and it has 3000 nits vs 1500 nits on this Hisense. The Hisense have more reported issues. I'm going to wait.

and I can't really figure out the difference. Does someone up on tech know the difference?
The U8 pictured above should be the superior tv of the two as the 8 series in Hisense lineup is above the 7 series tv's. However the one here is a year older than the QD7. I haven't compared the two personally but the U8 should be brighter, have more dimming zones, better processing and motion handling than the QD7. Again, this U8 is a year older than the QD7 so I'd imagine the QD7 to be a lot closer to the U8 since it's a year newer and has newer tech in it.

I just noticed that i compared it to the 2024 version... not the 2023 version which is being sold.
The 2024 Hisense U8 Series (U8N) offers a massive upgrade over the 2023 model (U8K), featuring significantly higher peak brightness (up to 3,000+ nits vs. ~1,500–2,000 nits)
and double the local dimming zones for improved contrast. The 2024 models also feature superior gaming (up to 165Hz/144Hz), better AI picture processing, and an improved anti-glare screen

Speaking from my ownership of the Hisense U8H and U8N...the step up is not " massive"
The "N" is a better set...but there is still some picture processing issues in the "N"
I will say Hisese has gotten a lot better with banding though since the " H" version of the u8
But still expect some quirky Hisense issues..E-arc and CEC control can work sporadically
Just bought this model last night with free delivery at my local BB here in Summerlin. Las Vegas, NV for $1799.99 plus tax. Looking forward to it since I was originally going to buy the U7 model and have it priced matched to Walmart at $1999.99 Thankfully I saw this deal instead!

Projector's are great for dark rooms like basements but not so great in a room with lots of windows with natural light.
