Hisense 100U7QAU
The Hisense 100U7QAU and TCL 98P8K are both giant-screen 4K QLED TVs designed for immersive home entertainment, but they target slightly different buyers. Hisense focuses on premium picture performance with Mini-LED PRO backlighting, significantly higher brightness, and advanced gaming features including 165Hz refresh rate support. TCL counters with the familiar Google TV platform, solid gaming capabilities, and a competitive feature set at a potentially lower price point. If you're building a high-end home theater or gaming setup, the differences in brightness, motion handling, smart platform, and audio performance become especially important.
Verdict
The Hisense 100U7QAU is the stronger overall television thanks to its Mini-LED PRO display, 2400-nit peak brightness, 165Hz gaming support, superior built-in audio system, and longer warranty coverage. It's the better choice for demanding gamers and home theater enthusiasts.
The TCL 98P8K remains a strong option for users who prefer Google TV, Chromecast integration, and a more streamlined smart TV experience. For most performance-focused buyers, however, the Hisense takes the lead.
