3 sources$997.97as of Oct 16

The Hisense U8QG is a 2025 mini-LED TV built around brightness. PCMag measured 3,200 nits on an 18% window and gave it an Editors' Choice; CNET calls it the brightest TV its reviewer has formally reviewed; RTINGS, which bought the 65-inch model, rates it great for mixed usage. The trade-offs the testers agree on are a mediocre viewing angle and HDR tone mapping that runs bright, and PCMag found only three HDMI ports.

Strengths
  • — PCMag measured 3,200 nits on an 18% field and 845 nits full-screen in HDR
  • — Very deep blacks with minimal blooming, per RTINGS
  • — Low input lag: 10.1ms at 4K60 and 4.3ms at 1080p120 in PCMag's tests
Watch-outs
  • — Viewing angle is only okay, per RTINGS
  • — HDR content looks brighter than intended due to sub-par PQ EOTF tracking, per RTINGS
  • — PCMag counted only three HDMI ports on the 65-inch model

LG OLED evo G4 65-inch (OLED65G4SUB)
3 sources$1,998as of Jul 3

The LG G4 set the OLED reference for 2024-2025. Its second-generation MLA panel feeds the Alpha 11 processor for measurably brighter HDR than any prior consumer OLED, and all four HDMI 2.1 ports carry full support for serious gamers. Pair it with a soundbar and it becomes the easiest premium recommendation here.

Strengths
  • — Alpha 11 AI processor handles upscaling, motion, and tone-mapping with the best filmic processing in the OLED field
  • — All four HDMI ports are full 48 Gbps HDMI 2.1 with 4K/144Hz, G-Sync, FreeSync Premium, and Dolby Vision gaming
  • — Gallery-flush wall mount design ships in the box with virtually no gap when wall-mounted
Watch-outs
  • — Built-in 4.2-channel audio is thin and lacks low-end weight — a soundbar is essentially mandatory at this price

How they stack up

Hisense U8QG 65-inch Mini-LED (65U8QG)

PCMag measured it at 3,200 nits on an 18% field against 2,092 nits for the TCL QM7K, so it is the brighter of the two mini-LED sets on this page. Unlike the LG OLED evo G4 and Samsung S90D OLEDs, it is an LCD with a mini-LED backlight, and RTINGS and CNET both note some blooming and off-axis color loss that OLEDs avoid.

LG OLED evo G4 65-inch (OLED65G4SUB)

The LG OLED evo G4 65-inch supports Dolby Vision, which the Samsung S90D 65-inch does not, and all four of its HDMI ports are HDMI 2.1 where the TCL 65QM7K has two. It costs more than both. Its 4.2-channel audio is thin, though the Samsung's 2.1-channel system is described as thinner still.
