Still showing 17 available in my area. Btw, this was the Hisense Top of the line TV 2 years ago.

Key Summary Points
* Brightness & Dimming: The TCL QM8K is engineered for extreme brightness, claiming up to 5,000 nits, which is more than triple the output of the Hisense U8K. It also utilizes 5,000+ local dimming zones, providing much tighter control over blooming.
* Anti-Halo Technology: The 2025 QM8K uses a new WHVA panel and a "Halo Control System" specifically designed to eliminate the light bleed around bright objects on dark backgrounds, a common minor issue on the older U8K.
* Gaming Prowess: While both support 4K/144Hz, the TCL QM8K includes a 288Hz Game Accelerator mode (at lower resolution) and updated AMD FreeSync Premium Pro certifications, making it slightly more future-proof for high-end PC gaming.
* Value vs. Performance: The Hisense U8K remains a massive "bargain" because it offers flagship-level 2023 performance for roughly $1,500. The TCL QM8K is a "performance" bargain—it rivals the most expensive TVs on the market for a lower price, but it will still typically cost more than a clearance U8K.
The Verdict
If your budget allows for the TCL QM8K, it is the superior TV in every technical category, particularly for HDR movies and high-end gaming. However, if you want the best possible 100-inch screen for under $1,500, the Hisense U8K is still a highly capable choice.
Do a comparison at rtings and look at the EOTF graph.

Using your same logic....in a smaller size of course...the Sony bravia 9 is worth 2X the price of the TCL QM8K
