If it holds up well I will be replacing my 70" with the same TV above but 75".

I've got a Hisense LCD and a more expensive Sony X900H. For 4K content the picture quality is pretty similar, but beyond that the Sony is way ahead. 4K upscaling is pretty bad on the Hisense, if I'm watching a 1080p movie on it there are lots of artifacts visible and the lighting sucks. Whereas on the Sony the upscaling is so good it's sometimes hard to tell between a 1080 and 4K signal. Also browsing the Android TV menu on the Hisense can be annoying at times with lag, but the Sony has a much more powerful processor so it's always smooth. The Sony also has much better built-in speakers, which I've definitely noticed as I don't have room in the budget yet for a home theater setup
My advise is that if you want a minimal setup with just a TV mounted to a wall, go for the more expensive option. But if you're going to have a soundbar and a Nvidia Shield for streaming then the Hisense or TCL make a lot of sense
