Customer Ratings & Reviews

For almost a decade now, OLED TVs and monitors have been the hot topic that everyone speaks highly of. Since then, there have been various iterations of OLED, LED, including quantum dot and mini LED variations. As a current QD-OLED & W-OLED monitor user and a former OLED TV user, this TV has rounded out my opinions on current display technologies, and honestly, I'm rather shocked by the results. FEATURE BREAKDOWN This TV uses Mini LEDs, plus quantum dot technology, with local dimming, matte anti-reflection, HDMI 2.1 bandwidth on all four inputs, 4K up to 165Hz, 1080p up to 330Hz, VRR, Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and DTS support. To be blunt, it has a brutally mean list of high end features at a mid-range price point. DISPLAY QUALITY The Hisense U7 MiniLED is made for all environments. Seriously. As someone who has used glossy reflective 4K panels for many years, this display breathes new life into my media library and living room setup. MiniLED is a massive win for folks who have bright sunbathed living room or bedroom entertainment setups. The 65 inch model of this display has 960 local dimming zones, which means that every small section of the display can be lit up independently. While there are displays with more local dimming zones and the ability to reach more than this TV's 3000 nits of peak brightness - this is the sweet spot. To elaborate more on that, in movie/TV scenes that have extremely bright or all white screens, the screen will get bright enough to make you squint - even if you're looking at your phone when the scene happens. This display simply gets that bright. I watched most of my content in the Standard preset with the brightness set to 50 out of 100, and if I went higher than that, the experience of an all-white screen was almost blinding. DISPLAY FEATURES Game mode reduces your input lag to almost nothing, which is great for any online gamers out there, and the motion clarity options provide the ability to clean up the usual stutter that can come from the cable TV shows which I tend to indulge in. While I am not a fan of motion clarity options on TVs historically, this TV does a fantastic job with judder reduction, which specifically has its own setting adjustment for maximum control. You can tweak the colors, motion, HDR capabilities, gamma, white balance, you name it. Control is key with any TV, and Hisense did a wonderful job of giving the ability to fully control your viewing experience. SOUND Folks, I recommend to everyone that they buy a TV for its display and not for the audio quality. While the audio quality on here is passable, it does not have bass or depth during complex audio sequences. I have no particular complaints about the audio quality, but you'll want a higher-end audio solution that matches that quality of the picture this TV provides. Since this TV has optical audio and eARC built-in, you have a wide array of audio options available to you. REMOTE Not my favorite remote, just to keep it simple. I don't have any issue with it, but I'd prefer something smaller and more ergonomic. While this is a smart TV with Android TV built in, you do have the option of hooking up an alternative smart TV platform with its own remote or simply pairing a different remote with this TV. FINAL THOUGHTS The Hisense U7 MiniLED QLED TV captures the features that most people care about. The dark inky blacks of OLED are not the end-all-be-all they once were. MiniLED QLED with local dimming gets us astonishingly close to OLED colors without the typical drawbacks of burn-in and low peak brightness. Couple that with a very handsome price point, and this TV becomes ideal for most consumers - myself included. Assembly Note: Be sure to follow the instructions carefully when attaching the base plate of the TV to the panel. It requires some balancing and you'll want someone helping you assemble and mount it. Open the box, read the instructions, then slowly follow them.

Included- TV, stand, power cord, remote with batteries, user manual My first impression of the Hisense 65" Class U7 Series MiniLED QLED UHD 4K HDR Smart Google TV is that it's beautiful and great. I like the large size, the thin frame and the bright picture. The installation of the stand was fairly straightforward. There are two heights to choose from and I recommend the higher setting if you have a sound bar so it doesn't obstruct the picture at all. Once I got it all connected, with plenty (4X) of HDMI ports, the start up was also fairly quick with some updates and log ins. All of your streaming apps are available so you have full access to your entertainment selection.  I think 65" is a great viewing size  It's plenty big for my large for my living room but not ridicously big like some bigger sizes are. The details and definition on the screen are easy to see due to the 4K resolution. I notice a lot more wrinkles on people than I did before. The colors are vibrant and bright but still look natural and accurate thanks to the Hi-QLED. The backlights provides a bigger contrast with brighter brights and deeper balcks so things look more crystal clear and lifelike, whether it's day or night viewing with the aid of the AI RGB light sensor. It will automatically adjust the brightness based on the room lighting.  The one downside I've noticed is the sound quality does not meet my expectations. It's the one area that's lacking and could use improvement. The Hisense does have Dolby Atmos and multi-channel speakers with directional sound. However, I always use a high quality sound bar for a great overall experience. I would recommend the 65" Hisense Class U7 Series MiniLED QLED UHD 4K HDR Smart Google TV to anyone who is consdering buying a new TV. It's a huge improvement from my old TV. The color is lifelike and the definition is crystal clear, allowing you to have a great entertainment expereience.

Over the last couple years I have purchased 5 TVs for my home. I had no idea how much of a difference a newer model with all the bells and whistles would make until I got the 65" Hisense U7 series ULED MiniLED. It was so easy to set up and start viewing. We hung it on the wall in our family room. No need to use the APPLE TV or ROKU with this TV. No need to use an added sound bar or external speakers. It has all the APPS that we use including : * Apple TV * HBO * Paramount * Peacock * Hallmark+ * BYUTV * Disney+ * Many More APPS What really won me over with this TV is: * The colors are so vibrant and beautiful. * The sound is perfectly balanced as the surround sound just like at the theatre. * The remote is perfectly weighted and easy to see. * Browse the web on the screen. * Screen Sharing from my iPhone. * The Movies look 3D without those crazy glasses. * There is no longer a need for soundbar and additional speakers. * No need to add Apple TV box. The screensaver has correct time, Outside temperature and current conditions on the screen as well as beautiful photos. I can use the remote to scroll through the screensaver photos as well. I can honestly say I am impressed with this TV and Remote! It has made watching movies at home, feel like we are at the theatre. I just added Popcorn.

I bought this to replace a five-year-old TV, and the difference is night and day. If you’re coming from an older set, you’re going to be surprised by how much better everything looks and feels. Picture Quality The video and pictures are absolutely stunning. The screen is incredibly bright—even with the sun coming through my windows, I don’t get the annoying glare I used to. (There is SOME but a noticeable difference between the old TV ) The colors pop, and the dark scenes actually look black rather than that washed-out gray you see on older TVs. Whether it’s sports or a movie, the clarity is impressive. Smart Features & Google TV One of my favorite things is the Google TV integration. It’s very fast and responsive. On my old TV, the menus would lag or freeze, but this one is snappy. It connected to my Google Home setup instantly, so I can control it with the rest of my smart devices without any hassle. Sound & Connections The built-in speakers are "okay" enough to get you by but if you really want that theater feeling, I’d recommend getting an external soundbar. But I think issue is with ALL wall mounted TV There are plenty of ports for all your devices. I did have a small hiccup at the very beginning where the HDMI ARC (the port for the sound system) took a minute to sync up and recognize my speakers, but once it connected, it stayed solid. The Remote The remote feels sturdy and well-built. It has a good weight to it, which is important because I have kids who aren't exactly "gentle" with electronics. It seems like it can handle a bit of rougher use and still hold up. Final Verdict If you’re looking for a high-end experience without the high-end price tag, this is it. Highly recommended!

Hisense - 65" Class U7 Series MiniLED QLED UHD 4K HDR Smart Google TV (2026) Summary: A feature packed TV with a great display. Use: This TV is used in the primary bedroom where we have several south facing windows. The U7 brightness allows us to mitigate some of our room lighting issues, and the blacks, while not OLED deep, are pretty solid thanks to the local dimming MiniLEDs. At 165Hz, the refresh rate supports gaming and displays fast moving sequences with ease. It also supports many standard tech such as HDR10/+, Dolby Vision, and utility tech like Apple's Airplay and Chromecast. It hosts a pretty generous set of connectivity options for media and network use with LAN, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth, RF, 4 x HDMI 2.1, composite video, optical audio out, and USB-A 3.0 and 2.0 ports. This allows for an array of input, smart home integrations, and audio configurations. In-built TV audio is never great and this unit's is no exception to this rule. The U7's gets the job done, but for optimal experience you're going to want a sound bar minimally. The U7 has Android TV built-in. I am reticent to use Google for anything, but I will say that the experience is nice. It is fluid, bright, and mostly functions well. There are a plethora of media service apps available for use on the platform and that is a must these days. If you're a fan of personal assistant and Smart Home automation - this unit has you covered with support for Amazon's Alexa, Apple Home, and Google Home with built-in Google Assistant. I have mixed experiences with smart home and TV integrations - so I pretty much don't use these features except to turn the units on or off. Overall, this is a solid TV a great list of features. Hisense is a brand that is evolving and clearly working hard on its climbing its way up by its competitive feature-packed offerings. Pros: * 4K beauty. The display looks great, its bright, its crisp, and even lacking OLED - has rich enough blacks. * MiniLED local dimming. The localized dimming zones do help with the richness of blacks. It's been an issue for us across brands and technology and its noticeably less of an issue with this display. * TV OS/UI and Remote. The remote is svelte. It is slim, feels nice in hand, and it is responsive. The TV's UI/OS is well built and fluid. A surprise for me, since many of our "smart TV" UIs have been so clunky to the point where we just avoided their use altogether and connected a Roku, FireTV, or Apple TV instead. This TV UI works well enough for us to reconsider that now. * Build. The TV feels well built and substantial without being too heavy. The base and its stand are well balanced and provide great support without requiring a large footprint. * Connectivity. The unit has tons of connectivity options for its class TV. The HDMI ports allow for our Apple TV, PS5, XBOX, and PC to all be connected at once. Wireless options are available for activities like casting, however. * Packaging. The unit was packaged very well with its edges, base, and front well protected. At the same time, it seems very little waste - everything was just enough which is important to us because we don't like generate waste. Cons: * Remote. The remote would be fine with fewer buttons - maybe then it could be downsized, too. * App. I'd like to use the app, but the instructions didn't really specify what to do. I scanned the QR code and I got an error. I was able to sign-in to the device using my Google account and authenticator, but that was after the fact. Thankfully, its not complicated stuff, but it would probably be better if it worked as intended. All in all, I'm impressed. I've always been an LG fan. We've had many of their LCDs and even their LCD projectors. This unit performs quite well and competes nicely with their mid-high tier options and especially so for their price point. As for longevity, we'll have to see as only time will tell.

So, to be perfectly honest I was a bit hesitant to purchase another Hisense TV, the last one I had was a Android TV (which is what the TV’s operating system was called before it received a software update and became a Google TV). After the upgrade the TV did not function well, probably the fault of Google and not Hisense. Eventually I bought a Roku stick and got around that issue. So, once I saw the feature set of the 2026 model year of the U7 series I decided to give them another chance. The Hisense 65" U7 Series MiniLED QLED 4K HDR Smart TV has some interesting improvements including local LED dimming which aids in contrast and reduces “blooming” issues that are inherent in LED TVs, doesn’t quite match up with the inky blacks that my LG OLED TV produces, but good enough. So lets talk about the panel, it has an anti-reflective coating which does a good job reducing reflections. The remote control is backlit and automatically lights up when raised which is really cool, no fumbling with a button to enable backlighting. This TV is also pretty thin and has a easily installed stand that allows you to install the mount in two different positions, one to accommodate a soundbar. Speaking of sound, it has 2.1.2 Dolby Atmos sound and does a good job, although most TVs have less than Steller sound output from built in speakers. The display panel has a 165hz refresh rate, which is pretty good if you play video games (hooking up an xBox or PS5 via one of the four HDMI ports) One of the HDMI ports is of the eARC return audio variety which allows you to output sound to a A/V receiver. I have not yet done that to see it the digital signal will output a PCM Dolby Atmos data stream, something for me to test later if I decide to put this in my primary room where the Atmos capable A/V receiver and setup lives. Overall, I thought the display hit above its weight in image, the TV operating system was responsive (Google TV) and has many smart TV apps available, this TV also has Google’s Gemini AI built in so if you utilize Google’s ecosystem this maybe the right TV for you. Of course, the TV has Chromecast and Airplay 2, so no matter where you loyalties lie, this TV will work for casting. I won’t get too deep into the gaming controller compatibility since I did not test it, but supposedly you can you use a game controller with the TV. Two USB ports are provided, an optical output and an ethernet port for network connectivity, as well as Wi-Fi 6e compatibility, which is a nice feature, Wi-Fi 7 has not yet crept into smart TVs. Other options include sound output to a Bluetooth device such as speakers or headphones. This TV also includes an optical for basic digital output to a soundbar (will not pass advanced PCM streams though). The only issue I had was with the QR code-based setup which led me to an invalid link (Web parts not found), but that is something Hisense can fix on their website (or is that for Google to fix). Manual setup just required more typing and password input. Overall, if you are looking for a decent image and don’t want to spend a little more on an TV with an OLED based display, this “QLED TV” would be more than sufficient. Although since this is a 2026 model, you could potentially buy a previous year OLED for a similar price point as this 2026 model. >>> Pros >> decent contrast and blacks >> 3000 nits brightness, so this is a bright TV that can compensate for brightly lit rooms >> Backlit remote >>four HDMI ports >> Wi-Fi 6e >> ergonomic stand <<< Cons << not much, look for it on sale

I'm using the Hisense U7SG in my basement primarily for gaming. I was really interested in this TV because of the 165hz refresh rate and the fact that I have it connected to my PC which has an Nvidia 4090 graphics card. Occasionally I will use it for watching movies as well. Unboxing the TV was simple. I was able to do it myself, though having a partner would have made it simpler. Setup was a breeze and the stand is centered, as opposed to my last TV, which had feet at the edges. The centered stand makes it easy for the TV to fit on my entertainment center. One thing to note was that attaching the stand to the TV, while easy, still required 6 screws to fasten the stand to the unit. When I turned on the TV, it launched into Google TV, which is very familiar if you have ever used an Nvidia Shield or Android TV device. One thing I had a bit of trouble with, was GoogleTV gives you a QR code to scan to setup the device on your network, but for whatever reason, I kept getting an error message and had to use the manual setup to get the TV connected to my network. A bit of a hassle, but probably something Hisense can correct with a software update. I was very impressed with the picture quality overall. Out of the box, the picture seemed pretty color accurate, which was surprising. I can probably dial it in a little better with a bit of time, but the colors appeared pretty close to accurate. Putting the TV into HDR mode, dimmed the picture considerably, but with some configuration, I was able to get it to a picture that I liked. The TV is really bright too. The specs say it can do up to 3000 nits, and while I don't have equipment to verify that claim, I can say it is the brightest TV I have owned, and ambient light or indirect sunlight is not a problem. Viewing angles are a little disappointing, with a noticeable shift in brightness for those that are off center. So if you have a wide room, the best seats will be straight on. My only other trouble with the TV was not the TV's fault, but I have the unit connected into my Philips Hue Sync box and a Denon Receiver. When I connected my PC to the receiver, I could only get 120hz refresh rate. I later figured out this was a limitation of my receiver, and to get the faster 165Hz, I needed to plug my PC directly into the TV. At least there were 4 HDMI 2.1 ports that all work at 165Hz. Aside from that, the sound in the speakers are pretty good. They are not a good as having a soundbar or a Home Theater system, but they get the job done and are pretty good. Watching a movie and youtube video was great. Quality looked great, the Google TV interface is snappy and fluid, etc. The remote is a little long, and probably has more buttons than I need, but it gets the job done and is backlit, which is a nice replacement over my last remote. All in all, I'm very impressed with this TV. It's not perfect, but you get a lot of value for the money, and for gaming, 165Hz is fantastic if you have a PC that can handle this.

I’ve been using the Hisense 65" U7 Series for a little over a week and it’s honestly a lot better than I expected. The MiniLED backlighting makes a big difference—blacks are pretty deep and there’s way less blooming than typical LED TVs. Colors look bright and punchy without going overboard, and 4K content looks super sharp, especially with HDR. What stood out to me is how smooth everything feels. It handles fast motion really well, whether it’s sports or gaming, and input lag is low enough that it actually feels responsive. Google TV is nice too, pretty easy to navigate and has all the apps I need without much hassle. It’s not perfect though. Viewing angles aren’t amazing, and the built-in speakers are just okay. But for the price, it punches way above its weight. The design is simple and clean, and setup was quick. Overall, it’s a solid pick if you want great performance without spending a ton. I was also surprised by how well it upscales older content, making regular HD shows still look pretty good on such a big screen.

----- SUMMARY ----- Verdict: Taking down the old TV was quite the event in our house. As I was unmounting our couple-year-old QLED, my oldest just looked at me with genuine concern and asked, “What about Ms. Rachel?” I tried explaining the incredible mini-LED technology we were upgrading to, but toddler priorities are vastly different. However, the upgrade didn’t go unnoticed by the adults. I managed to get the Hisense 65” U7 Series fully mounted and dialed in while my wife was away. When she walked through the door and caught a glimpse of the screen, she literally did a double-take. “That must be the new TV,” she immediately noted. The difference really is that striking right out of the box. If you are coming from an older QLED or a standard LED panel, the jump to the Hisense U7 is massive. It solves the headache of bright-room viewing, packs in top-tier gaming features, and delivers a stunning picture. It offers a premium, flagship-level viewing experience at a price point that makes it an undeniable value, and I cannot recommend it enough. Pros: - Massive leap forward from older QLED or standard LED panels - Offers a premium, flagship-level viewing experience at an undeniable value - Excellent for bright-room viewing, virtually eliminating glare - Hi-QLED MiniLED Pro panel provides sheer brightness and uniform blacks - Top-tier gaming features including Native 165Hz and near-zero input lag - 2.1.2 Multi-Channel Sound tuned by Devialet delivers excellent, room-filling audio - Google TV interface is snappy and intuitive, eliminating the need for a separate streaming device - Included remote is premium and fully backlit Cons: - None ----- DETAILS ----- Design & Setup: Aesthetically, the 65-inch U7 Series looks incredibly sleek. It features a clean, unibody design with minimal bezels that allow the picture to stretch beautifully edge-to-edge. However, don’t let that thin profile fool you. This TV is deceivingly heavy. I initially thought I could handle getting it set up by myself, but with the weight distributed across 65 inches of screen, it’s quite difficult to manage alone. Whether you are wall-mounting it or just getting it situated on an entertainment center with the included stand, I definitely recommend grabbing a helper. Once it is finally in place, the sturdy build quality feels well-engineered and looks right at home in a modern living space. Display & Performance: This is where the U7 truly proves its worth. We have a lot of windows in our living room, and the bright Phoenix sun pouring in used to ruin daytime viewing unless we drew all the blinds. The anti-reflection, matte-like finish on this screen is an absolute game-changer. I can finally leave the windows open to enjoy the natural light without staring at my own reflection during dark cinematic scenes. Coupled with the glare reduction is the sheer brightness of the Hi-QLED MiniLED Pro panel. Powered by the Hi-View AI Engine Pro, it intelligently optimizes clarity and contrast in real time so nothing looks over-processed. The thousands of local dimming zones work remarkably well, pushing massive peak brightness right next to inky, uniform blacks without any distracting blooming, while the Pantone Validated colors keep every scene looking natural. Whether I’m throwing on an afternoon Diamondbacks game or watching a dark movie, the picture remains incredibly crisp, punchy, and fully visible regardless of the ambient light in the room. Audio Quality: I admittedly had low expectations for the built-in speakers. With my previous TVs, I almost immediately had to purchase a soundbar to get decent audio. However, I have been highly impressed by the sound quality of the U7. The 2.1.2 Multi-Channel Sound system is tuned by Devialet. I’m not well-versed in the audio world and had never heard of them before, but after doing some reading, I learned they are a highly regarded, high-end French acoustic engineering company. That pedigree definitely shows in this TV’s sound. It provides excellent, room-filling audio that can absolutely stand on its own or at least tide you over. While you are still going to get more punch out of a dedicated surround sound system, which this TV easily supports, the native audio is remarkably good. Gaming Capabilities: Between wrangling the kids and managing a generally busy lifestyle, I don’t get to game nearly as much as I used to. Because my free time is limited, finally getting the opportunity to sink into a visually demanding RPG like Cyberpunk 2077 on this TV is a real treat. I generally stick to single-player RPGs these days because I get way too frustrated trying to keep up in fast-paced shooters like Call of Duty like I did in my younger years. However, with the U7 Series being built for speed and clarity, I just had to give it a try to see how it handled. It features HDMI 2.1 inputs and supports a Native 165Hz refresh rate with AI Smooth Motion. Combined with Game Booster 330 and VRR, the motion clarity is exceptionally fluid, and the input lag is practically non-existent. It handled the chaos effortlessly, and I genuinely wish I had this TV back when my reflexes were actually competitive. It effectively doubles as a massive, high-performance gaming monitor. Smart Features, Interface & Remote: With almost every other TV I’ve owned, I always felt the immediate need to buy a dedicated streaming device because the native interface and built-in apps were so clunky and frustrating. I don’t feel that need at all with the U7. Running on Google TV with Gemini AI, the interface is incredibly snappy and intuitive, bringing personalized content discovery and voice control together in one seamless experience. Navigating between different streaming apps or quickly pulling up YouTube for the kids is completely frictionless. Enhancing that entire experience is the remote, which is genuinely the best I’ve ever used that came included with a TV. It looks premium, feels incredibly nice in the hand, and is fully backlit, a feature you rarely see but instantly appreciate when watching movies in the dark. Overall, the system doesn’t feel bogged down by bloated software. It just works smoothly and quickly. ----- WHAT’S IN THE BOX ----- 1 x Television 1 x Stand 1 x Power Cable 1 x Remote 1 x Quick Setup Guide 1 x User Manual

I replaced a 55" Hisense 4K unit with this 65" Hisense mini LED + QLED unit - and the difference is night and day. I've been a big fan of QLED units for a number of years, but this is the first such unit that I've had from Hisense. It has not disappointed. The resolution is sharp and the contrast is really good. The combination of the mini LED + QLED have made me a fan of this particular unit. The setup of this unit is very standard. The first thing that I noticed is the weight of this unit is more than the other QLED TVs that I've installed. I suspected that was because of the mini LED density, which seems to be the case (per a quick Google search). Anyway, the weight was noticeably heavier - a worthwhile tradeoff for the picture quality. This unit has all of the bells and whistles of a standard smart TV. It is easy to set up, requiring you to log into your various streaming services to get the full built-in smart TV functions. It is really nice to see the step up in overall picture quality that this Hisense unit brings to the table over previous units. I recommend!
