#9 Hisense U65QF

Screen uniformity is mixed: one source sees only minor corner vignetting and another reports clean brightness distribution, while a separate test calls black uniformity imperfect in fully dark scenes.

Pros: overall satisfaction, value for money

Cons: smart TV platform, blooming control

#10 LG C6

Most samples were clean across normal brightness levels, but one retail unit showed a visible green glow near the bottom edge and some dark-gray vertical banding.

#12 Hisense U75QG
3.2

Uniformity is generally acceptable but panel-dependent, with mild corner darkening, clouding, or backlight irregularities on some units.

Pros: overall satisfaction, picture quality
