Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great TV, when in to look at TV’s and purchased on the spot due to pricing and quality.

I was so happy with my old TV. It was a 70” 4K LED TV from another brand. We’ve been using it for three years, and everyone has been thrilled. When I got the chance to upgrade to this 85” miniLED, I jumped at it! Honestly, I wasn’t expecting much of a difference between this new Hisense and my old one. Boy, was I wrong! Let’s start with the biggest difference: the size. I thought going from 70” to 85” would be a subtle change, but that was immediately proven wrong as soon as we started unboxing the Hisense. This 85” TV is a lot bigger than the 70” and feels like I’m in a movie theater in my living room. Another thing I didn’t expect was the matte finish on the screen. We have an open-concept home, so we get a lot of light. The matte finish made a huge difference in removing all the glare from windows and lights in the house. The image is much better with just the matte finish; it’s cleaner without all the glare. The screen is stunning! It lights up so bright, and the shadows are deep and rich. The colors pop, even when I’m using Cinema mode. I even watched the famously dark episode of Game of Thrones: S8E3 The Long Night, and I could see everything clearly. I remember having a hard time watching that episode on my old TV because I had to turn up the brightness to keep up with the action. Playing games on this massive screen is such a fun experience! I love that it goes into Gaming mode as soon as I switch the input to my Xbox Series X or PS5. It quickly adjusts the refresh rate. Gaming is such a different experience on a screen this large and beautiful. No matter what games I play, you get an amazing experience with no screen tear or blurring. The sound on here is also very impressive, but I have a really nice home theater system, so if you’re looking at using the built-in speakers, it’s not your average sound. I’ve been using Google TVs for a few years now, and the experience on the Hisense is way better than I had expected. It feels much smoother and more responsive compared to my standalone, dedicated Google TV streamers. A couple of which are new models that came out over the last year. I have no negatives about this TV. The image is breathtaking, the size is impressive. It’s great for movies and gaming. The Google TV interface is a joy to use, and very responsive. Even the light-up remote is better than what I’ve been used to. I can easily recommend this TV.

Hisense's 2026 85" inch Class U7 Series is impressive but it's the Mini-LED backlighting that sets this TV apart. The use of thousands of tiny LEDs ensures that it's really bright and really dark. The whites really shine (up to 3000 nits), but the blacks don't become soulless gray mush either. Whether it's a dark moment in a thriller or a sunny sports match, the TV performs well in both scenarios. Colors are also very good. The TV's QLED panel and Pantone certification means that colours don't appear too saturated. Skin tones look natural, greens don't look neon, and generally there's a good balance that gives everything, be it movies or sports, a more authentic look. The AI processing is also impressive, particularly when it comes to upscaling content from lower resolutions it won't turn everything into real 4K, but it does a good enough job to be noticeable. This is a gaming TV if ever there was one. The 165Hz refresh rate is particularly very impressive offering smooth motion and responsiveness particularly in gaming. The fact it has HDMI latest 2.1 inputs on all four ports means its well equipped for the latest consoles and gaming computers. Tools like the Game Bar allow quick and easy settings adjustments and this is no novelty. Overall it does a great job of motion while watching sports Quick camera moves, action scenes, and games are all clear with little blur, due to the MEMC (motion estimation and compensation) technology. Some film lovers might want to disable some of it for movies, but it's good to have the choice. Sound is surprisingly good for a flat-screen TV. The integrated 2.1.2 multi-channel system (tuned by Devialet) gives it a bit more of a punch. You can hear dialogue without trouble and there's a good sense of depth, particularly with Dolby Atmos. This isn't a replacement for a surround sound system, but it will do the trick for most homes and it can be complemented by a compatible soundbar to deliver more without a lot of effort. It has a modern design, with a thin, one piece backplate that doesn't interfere with the display. It's suitable for modern and more traditional decor alike. Other features, such as the anti-reflection coating, are also useful glare is minimal so it's not too hard to watch the TV during the day (great for a bright TV). Google TV remains one of the easiest to use smart TV systems. It's relatively easy to discover new programs recommendations are usually helpful, and the fact that everything is in one place makes it easier to navigate. Its support for Gemini voice commands through remote and hands free makes it easier and more natural to search and navigate, but that will be dependent on how you use it. There are also a bunch of minor conveniences. WiFi 6E helps in reducing buffering when streaming even with multiple devices.The smart light sensor automatically sets the brightness saving you from having to change it all the time And the backlit remote with motion sensor and "find my remote" is one of those features you did not know you wanted until you have it. The only real drawback is that with all the features not all will be relevant to everyone. Some of the AI features can be subtle, and while the TV's sound is good, hard-core audiophiles will need to add their own speakers. However these are very small issues. In fact the Hisense U7 (2026) is a great combination of performance, features and user friendliness. It offers great brightness, good contrast, low input lag and is just a great TV to watch movies, TV shows or play games. Its a great choice for anyone who wants a large feature rich TV that doesn't break the bank.

The Hisense 85” TV is an absolutely breathtaking display that has completely reinvented my living room. We recently purchased a new house, and our existing 65” TV had become an eyesore because of the room layout. This room has an 11’ wall with an 18’ ceiling, along with upper and lower windows on the adjacent wall. As a result, our 65” TV setup was nearly unusable during peak daylight, not to mention significantly undersized for the space. Enter the Hisense 85” TV, which has changed everything. The panel claims a 3000 nits brightness, which puts it at the top end for Mini-LEDs. Based on all the stress tests I’ve run, I have no reason to question that claim. For reference, OLEDs generally top out around 1500 nits, and traditional LCDs around 1200 nits. In other words, this thing is ridiculously bright, which is exactly what you want when your living room is basically a sunroom like mine. A really interesting feature with this display is the native 165Hz panel, which leans heavily into gaming territory. I haven’t hooked it up to my PC yet to confirm a full 165Hz input, but I’d be very surprised if it didn’t support it, especially considering the four full HDMI 2.1 ports. Everything about this display suggests it’s built to handle high refresh rates and can pair with a PC. In terms of mounting this TV, there are a few things worth noting. I initially purchased a full motion mount because I assumed I’d need it to combat sunlight, but that turned out to be unnecessary. That said, I still recommend a mount that allows you to pull the TV away from the wall for access, because hanging this thing is a beast, and you don’t want to be taking it down once it’s up. Also, the mounting bracket position on the back of the TV sits much higher than expected. The top mounting holes measured around 38” from the bottom of the TV, which made me have to rethink my mounting strategy. In my case, that meant placing the wall bracket around 83” high so the TV would clear our 36” console we ordered, and still leave room for a soundbar. If you’re using the included stand, you have nothing to worry about in terms of stability. The stand base is literally a 1/4” sheet of iron that could likely stop a bullet. As for the display itself, this is probably the best panel I’ve ever seen, whether in-store or at home. The colors are stunning across the board, and I didn’t run into any issues in any of the display tests I tried. The anti-glare coating gives the TV a matte appearance when it’s off, but once it’s on, you’d swear it was glossy. More importantly, the anti-glare actually works. In one of my photos, you can see full sunlight is pouring through the windows, and there’s only a small reflection in the top corner of the screen. At night, the brightness of the TV literally changes the door of the room. One of my favorite features is the remote. I’m picky about remotes, to the point where I’ve avoided certain TVs because of them, and this remote has quickly become my favorite. It’s a great size, has some weight to it so it feels solid, the buttons are large and backlit, and best of all… it’s not pitch black. I can’t tell you how many times we’ve lost a black remote simply because it’s black and we can’t see it. On top of that, there’s a button under the TV that makes the remote beep if you can’t find it. It’s brilliant. I could honestly go on and on about this TV because I haven’t found a single weak spot. Everything just works the way it should. Even Google TV is fast and responsive, which hasn’t always been my experience on my other TVs. The built-in sound is also surprisingly good, as it has decent range and even manages a bit of bass. However, a TV this size deserves a proper sound system. I’ll be pairing it with my Sennheiser setup once our console arrives. If you have a bright room and are concerned about glare, this TV is absolutely the way to go. I was previously shopping OLEDs for this room because I didn’t want to sacrifice display quality; but couldn’t justify purchasing an OLED for a room like this, as they are better suited for low light. This Mini-LED panel gives me the quality without the sacrifice, and I could not be happier with it.

I have a 77" OLED and a few 65" TVs and this 85" is in a totally different class in terms of size, so HAVE A PLAN before this thing arrives. You will need a big space to store the TV box (about 8' long and the size of a dinner table), 1' wide and heavy around 200lbs with all the packaging. Two able-bodied adults can pick it up by the side handles and move it but it is heavy. The freight delivery person and I were able to comfortable move the TV inside my foyer, and I had a friend help me take it out of the box and mount it. Also, if you plan to get a TV mount, make sure you pick a sturdy one with lag bolts that is wide enough to support 600mmx400mm VESA mounting brackets. Many smaller TVs are 400x400, but this TV is 600x400. The mount I used the Sanus Elite BLL2-B1 works well, however, it is JUST wide enough so that they is very little side to side tolerance, so you will want to make sure you measure and center up the TV how you like. The TV weighs 95lbs without the box. I was able to mount the wall mount by myself while it was in the box, take the measurements for the wall mount and then accurately measure and hang the mount frame on the wall using lag bolts. Two able bodied adults should be able to lift the TV on the wall, however a 3rd person supporting the weight in the middle may be needed. Also, plan your cables and power connectors before you mount everything up because you will not want to take this down later. Now on to the TV. It is absolutely stunning in terms of BRIGHTNESS. It advertises peak 3000 nits and honestly, it might hit it. I have a 77" QD-OLED TV and at 800-1000nits, this U7SG looks like the Sun compared to it. It is shockingly bright. No issues in full sunlight and in dark rooms and dark scenes, it will light up the room. The trade-off is blacks, while the full array local dimming and Hi-QLED MiniLED display, this display is still very good when it comes to black levels. Colors are absolutely stunning, you are going to have your jaw drop in any bright, animated or CGI moves. Motion is excellent, you also don't get the absolute pixel response times (this impacts how crisp images look in motion) as OLED, but 165Hz is fantastic and fast moving action movies and sports have no issues keeping up. Hockey, NASCAR, Soccer, all look amazing with no issues on this TV at all. I can't wait to see what the World Cup looks like on this TV. The green pitch will feel like you are in the game. I did some limited gaming from my laptop which has a 5080 mobile, however, this is slower than a desktop 5070 and really isn't suitable for a 4K display. I have a 5090 desktop, but I didn't get a chance to move it closer to my TV. Still, using the 5080 laptop showed what this display is capable of. I was able to get the full advertised 165Hz refresh with HDR and FreeSync Premium Pro (G-Sync compatible), but the colors looked more washed out and dimmer in Game Mode. There are a bunch of game mode settings which are nice, but I need to play with this more to get the HDR pop I am expecting that I got from my OLED and older Hisense. The built-in Google TV and Hisense processor was a real surprise. I've been using Apple TVs for years to avoid the built-in OSes and because the processors in the TVs are generally much slower or get bogged down quickly by the increasing demands of bloated apps. But this TV and Google TV are really snappy and responsive with apps loading quickly and supporting all of the high-end outputs like Dolby Vision and Atmos. I also really enjoy the remote. I wasn't sure at first given it is so big, but my kids really like it too. They love the texture of the dpad being metal with ridged rings and the feel and clickiness are perfect. They noticed right away how it had shortcut buttons for their favorite apps and its big enough to not lose easily unlike my Apple TV remote, but if it does get stuck in a couch cushion, you can hit a button on the TV which makes the remote emit a sound so you can find it easier. Great feature! Google TV has some cool features and the tool tips show you how to use it, like holding the confirm button to go back to your last channel or app, holding up for stats in games etc. This TV also supports Dolby Vision and HDR10+ natively, which is great since my OLED did not support Dolby Vision which is super annoying. The sound quality from the 2.1.2 speakers tuned by Devialet are also excellent for built-in TV speakers, however, I found they sounded a bit muddled likely due to their close proximity to the wall, so I opted to connect it to an LG Soundbar. This was another negative for this TV that appears to be common with Hisense TVs when connected via eARC to a soundbar. You have HDMI-CEC which allows you to control volume to the soundbar and you get a graphic showing volume + or -, however, it does not show the actual volume level on the screen like I get with Apple TV and other TVs. The TV does wake up my LG S95TR soundbar which did not work correctly with my 77" QD-OLED. I had to use a workaround on my OLED with Apple TV to deal with this, but eARC works perfectly on this TV. Build quality on the TV overall is excellent. It is thin for such a massive TV and the back is flat. There is also a MATTE coating on the screen to limit glare, but this does not negatively impact image quality at all. My wall is now literally a TV and my kids absolutely love it. They spent the entire weekend watching movies and asking for popcorn because 85" and sitting 4-5' closer than in my family room, really changes the level of immersiveness and gives us the BIG SCREEN experience at home. Now we are planning to change what was once our play room into a BIG SCREEN room and we'll hook up the Switch 2 and PS5 to it as well. Can't wait for the World Cup on this TV!!!!

The brightness of the tv is perfect during the day and it shows no reflection. It is a beautiful picture. The sound quality is really good as well!

Great picture, sounds and easy to navigate! Not to heavy for 85 each TV. I would recommend the TV to my family and friends!!!!

Picture quality is amazing sound is unreal it’s like I have my surround sound on when I don’t

Is more than enough, sound, quality, color, I just like it a lot.

The TV exceeded my expectations one month in. The anti glare screen is the best I have ever had. I have large 8 foot windows that cause big glare issues with prior tv’s and this one you don’t even know I have windows. The 4k picture is phenomenal - forced me to upgrade my YoutubeTV subscription and the sped is great. Been a great purchase so far.

Great image quality. 85” is a large tv and requires a heavy duty mount. The matte finish really does reduce glare. Very impressed by this TV and would highly recommend.

Nice tv great picture. 85 inch is the perfect size great brightness and color. Good from any angle.

I’ve been using an older 65” Hisense TV for most of my viewing every day and thought this would be a nice upgrade, particularly for watching the NBA playoff games. It turns out “upgrade” is a big understatement. This TV is a masterpiece. It’s also enormous and heavy, so plan to have a friend (or two) to help you set it up and install it. Setting it up on the included base turned out to be fairly easy after studying the directions for a few minutes. Unlike other TVs I’ve had with two separate feet for the stand, this one has a single stand in the middle. At first, I was concerned it might be a little “tippy”, but it definitely is not. The base is a good-sized piece of ¼” steel that’s very sturdy and very stable. It’s a great solution since it allows you to put the TV on any width of table, if that’s how you choose to set it up. I have a wall mount, but I’m going to have to move it significantly higher on the wall for this TV. On my older TV, the mounting bracket attaches towards the bottom of the TV. On this TV, the mounting holes are much closer to the top of the TV. So, once I get the wall mount moved, I plan to remove the base and put it up on the wall permanently. The first big surprise once I powered it on was how easy it was to set up Google TV. I’m an Android user and when I picked up my phone to scan the QR code on the screen, it had already opened the app. So, I scanned the code directly in the app and it started setting everything up—no typing the Wi-Fi password or anything else. Once I answered a few questions on the TV it started updating itself which took about 6 minutes. Then it was ready to go. The second nice surprise was the matte coating on the screen. I have a lot of windows in my house so there’s always a lot of light coming in and this always causes problems with reflections on my old TV. With this one, the reflections magically went away. The screen is also noticeably brighter than my old one, so between those two features, watching TV during the day is a whole new ball game. Speaking of ball games, I’ve watched two NBA playoff games on it now and I’m hooked. There’s no blurring in the motion, the screen is crystal clear and bright, and having such a large screen makes it really immersive. My wife and I half joked that we have no reason to go to a game in person anymore—this is like having a wall of your room open up into the basketball court. Just to cover the remaining details, the sound is decent and the volume will go very loud, but if you want deeper bass and clearer sound then you’ll want a soundbar. The remote is a nice design and intuitive to use. The back-lit buttons are a very nice touch, and the “find my remote” button on the TV is not a feature I’ve had to use before, but it’s nice to know it’s there. There are also plenty of HDMI inputs (4), an ATSC 3.0 input, a wired LAN port, and a couple of USB ports available. The specs list the wireless networking as Wi-Fi 6E that, while not the very latest Wi-Fi 7 standard, is still very good and probably more than anyone will need for the life of the TV. In my opinion, this TV is a fantastic value for the price. I paid a lot more for a smaller OLED TV, but for my well-lit house this TV makes for the best viewing experience. I highly recommend it. Just remember to invite some muscle over to help you set it up!
