Is HiSense still trash? Best cheap TV at Costco bright enough for outside?

Purchasing US

A few years ago this forum was a huge help in steering me away from HiSense. I’m now in the market for an outdoor tv—no direct sun but will be used outside during Denver’s sunny days and kept in a weatherproof enclosure. I’d prefer to buy at Costco given the warranty and don’t want to spend a ton given the use case.

The HiSense u65 Pro seems ideal with high brightness and great anti-glare. Another option is the TCL QM6K Pro, but I’m reading the brightness is a lot lower, and the Crystal Glow HVA panel is much worse at handling glare.

Any advice is appreciated. I’m looking at 75” models.

Thank you!
