Hey everyone. Working on confirming dimming zone count (though it doesn’t really matter) and whether VRR is there or not. Will also try TCL iQ app just for grins. Thanks for watching!

[whatever_]

The one thing am pretty confident Amazon's tv will beat Tcl and most other brand is customer service.. They don't make you go through a ton of BS before giving a replacement or repair

[markschwacofer]

The thing is you get it for 37.50 a month for two years with no credit check if u get the 75-inch.

[JesseMcConnell]

You seem much more impressed by all these budget TV's lately. Hisense TCL, Amazon. Have they reached some new performance levels at these lower price points now?

[RobertSmelser]

I enjoyed your review as usual, but I have to admit that I tend to steer clear of Amazon stuff. I don’t see this changing my mind. Some of the smart features are clever, though.

However, if I were in the market for a TV in this price range right now, TCL or Hisense would probably get my money simply because anything I get would have to be a marked improvement over my MU8000, and this doesn’t look like I’d see much of a difference.

As always, thanks for your reviews.

Huh, they definitely told me it supports VRR (at and below 60Hz, obviously). And I think the dimming zone count is supposed to be 96 for the 75 and around 80 on the 65. That peak brightness though... woof. Great review, Caleb.

*_Well done review, thanks for the help. So, I just purchased the 75 inch on a Black Friday deal. The 0% interest for 24 months pushed me over the edge to go with the Fire TV over the Hisense or other models that supposedly have better features. I think a lot of the features that supposedly make the TCL or the Hisense a better choice really don't matter much to the average viewer. Honestly when I looked at the Hisense and now compare that to my Fire TV I really don't see much difference in the quality of the picture and I get all the Amazon goodness you touted in the video. Next up I'll check out your reviews on sound systems. If you do read these what would you recommend for an entry level surround sound to go with this TV Thanks for your help !!!_*

"Maybe that is a question you should ask Chy-na." Alexa

[kingkobra]

I will admit that Alexa can sometimes be extremely frustrating. The Alexa app has become so complex that you have to be a genius to navigate thru its functions to get it to do what you want. You can spend an entire day just dealing with Alexa alone. Not to mention integrating it with another device. I attempted to integrate it with my soundbar 900 when I purchased it and I went back and forth thru the steps for the longest trying to get it to connect and it wouldn't so I finally gave up. Later on that day I was speaking to one of my other Echo devices and the 900 responded. I was like what the...? I don't even try to accomplish something complex with Alexa unless I just want my brain to melt down. I will admit that the last couple of times I attempted to integrate Alexa with other devices it was seamless so I would assume that Amazon has been doing some homework. I love Alexa and can't imagine my life without it. I have so many Alexa and other wi-fi devices till my wifi couldn't support them all and finally gave up the ship. I had to get another gateway and I purchased a eero pro 6 and life is good again. Since I didn't have a single Google device I purchased a Google home hub just for kicks and it basically to me its only function is as a clock. But as far as a Amazon TV goes I will have to take a hard pass on that.

Still good info a year later! Today is Amazon Big Prime Day, and I realized I was going to use my Fire Stick with a new not-Fire TV to get more features (gaming especially), without the Amazon bloatware on what is obviously a TCL tv.

[utubestrong]

You are my new favorite tv reviewer. Thank you for making these videos. I might be in the market this year for a new tv, waiting for the Black Friday/holiday sales. Hoping to score a 55 LG C2 at Costco if they offer the sale price and extended warranty this holiday, if they offer it, but a lot of options to choose from this year in all prices.

What's funny is that the XBOX One with Kinect had full voice control, a built in IR blaster so you could control all your devices, an HDMI input with its own custom TV guide interface. So, before Amazon even released their very first Echo, you could say, 'XBOX ON' and it would turn on the XBOX, TV, cable box and my audio receiver, and switch the inputs so they were correct, then you could say 'XBOX WATCH ESPN' and it would switch to the TV app, then using the IR blaster change the channel on your cable box. It all worked seamlessly, and it really worked well as the voice processing was down locally, so there wasn't any real delay. Microsoft had all this working in 2013, and then just completely gave up on it like 2-years later, but who would want a voice controlled smart living room?

[godwillrise]

I think it's a great move! And yeah why not have TCL make them!! They make good HD T.V. and I am sure in the future Amazon will do their own thing. Thanks for the vid!! Always interesting!!

[exploringwithdanielrivas]

Lmao 😂I thought you weren’t saying Alexa because you couldn’t say in YouTube but the moment you said, “sorry, you just have to mute your speaker…” I understood the message 😅🤣

My biggest issue with the Hisense tv that you mentionned, is that if you don't live in the USA, then it's not exactly clear whether the U7H model exists or not because they either use the same model name but it's not the same tv, or it's just a different model name, or perhaps that specific model doesn't exist at all.

[Mykjakuzz]

Thank you for the review! Been looking for a decent 75" budget TV for my living room. Leaning towards the Hisense U7 or U8H now. Thanks

[GagandeepSingh-ltzo]

Love the video and the idea at the end to buy hisense, however, the 75 inch model is way too expensive. Amazon fire tv is pretty reasonable 😊

[OvertIntelligence]

Yo guys I have the FIRE TV OMNI and I love it already more than my Hisense U8G. Idk man it's just like Apple products they just make you feel special. They say the U7H and U8H is a really good upgrade over the U8G but they always say that. My HIsense was a little glitchy and it just didn't do anything cool. This TV is an experience and it's just a fun tv to have honestly...Kids love it, I love it...

[steelkane]

Thanks for getting this new tv up for review. I bought one because of the payment opinion from amazon

[DerekEvans]

I just ordered this tv and I like to watch tv in the dark, but don't want a dim picture. What setting do I need to put it on to have a bright vibrant picture?
