Hisense - 85" Class U7 Series MiniLED QLED UHD 4K HDR Smart Google TV (2025) - Open Box - Fair

I work as a facility manager at a high school, so I am used to lifting heavy equipment and installing a TV, but getting this 85-inch TV set up in my home was definitely a two-person job. The metal feet feel sturdy enough and have a nice spot in the back to tuck the wires away, which keeps the install looking clean. Once we turned it on, the first thing my girlfriend and I noticed was the brightness. It gets incredibly bright, making colors look vibrant and punchy. While the blacks are deep, I did notice some light blooming around subtitles in dark movie scenes. The sound is surprisingly good enough, and I haven't hooked up a soundbar yet because the built-in subwoofer has decent bass. I really like that all four inputs on the back are high-speed HDMI 2.1 ports. I have 2 gaming consoles, and this makes switching between them easy, without moving cords around to get the benefits of HDMI 2.1. The remote lights up, which is handy at night. I got it during Black Friday; the value is hard to beat for a screen this size at that price. I took off a star because the screen handles reflections poorly if a lamp is on, and fast motion can look a bit blurry.

The Hisense 85U75QG is a great gaming TV for anyone who wants a huge screen paired with bright HDR+, vibrant color, and console support. Setup was a breeze. With the QR code setup with the Google TV account connected to your google account it logged you into most things and sets up Google TV instantly. Dolby Atmos and the 2.1.2 multi-channel surround sound it immerses you in sound like a movie theater but at home or on set of a film! My brother thought I had a soundbar connected to the TV. The native refresh rate panel up to 165 Hz has changed my gaming, with The AMD Freesync Premium Pro and Low latency mode, it makes sure I am never late and I don't miss anything or movement in the shot. AI Upscaling has been amazing with connecting it to my gaming console, the fast paced fighting scenes and with clarity even while in motion, I can see every since detail of the action. It delivers a sweeping cinematic gaming experience with every HDR option, including Dolby Vision IQ, HDR 10+Adaptive, HDR 10, HLG and Advanced HDR by Technicolor. My favorite feature is the AI Chroma Light Sensor because of the auto brightness and color temperature adjustment, it's best in any light, from bright overhead lights to sunshine, it is always a peak performance. If you want a big, bright, colorful, immersive display for console gaming, this tv is absolutely a top choice and one of the best values. Easily the best thing I bought for my new house.

Upgraded to this Hisense Mini-LED TV recently from an older LED model and the picture improvement is immediately noticeable. The local dimming creates really deep blacks and bright highlights that make HDR content pop, especially during movie scenes with dramatic lighting. The 165Hz gaming performance is smooth and I haven’t experienced any noticeable input lag when playing fast-paced games on my console. The anti-reflection coating works well in my living room which gets afternoon sun - much better than my previous TV that became almost unwatchable during certain times of day. The QLED colors are vibrant without looking oversaturated, and the AI upscaling does seem to improve lower resolution content though it’s not magic. However, the backlit voice remote has been somewhat disappointing - the voice recognition works inconsistently and sometimes doesn’t respond to button presses on the first try. The Google TV interface is clean and easy to navigate, though it can be a bit slow to load apps occasionally. The Dolby Atmos audio from the built-in speakers is surprisingly good for TV speakers, though I still prefer my soundbar for serious movie watching. The WiFi 6E connectivity has been rock solid for streaming 4K content without buffering. The four HDMI 2.1 ports are great for connecting multiple gaming devices without having to swap cables. The AI features mostly stay out of the way and seem to adjust picture settings appropriately for different content types. For the price point it’s a solid TV with excellent picture quality, just be prepared for some minor software quirks and remote responsiveness issues.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I am thoroughly impressed with this television. It was so fast and easy to set up, download and install apps, connect to gmail, google, wi-fi, etc. It is extremely intuitive and simple. For someone like me, a bit technologically ignorant, I experienced absolutely zero complications or troubles! Installation was not nearly as difficult as feared. We installed it ourselves. It took three able bodied adults. Two to manage the weight of the television and one to steady it and act as a “spotter.” From unboxing to mounting took less than 20 minutes. There are so many things I love about this television, it’s a little difficult to know where to begin the compliments. The first thing I noticed was the immediate response to the remote. There is absolutely no detectable delay between keying into the remote and the TV reacting. It doesn’t matter whether it is hitting the power button, adjusting the volume, changing channels or scrolling social media. It’s the type of performance I’m accustomed to expecting from my smart phone, but not my television. Speaking of the remote… It’s beautiful! The backlighting is an absolute game changer when watching TV at night or in low lighting. And, the voice guidance actually understands my commands without repetition! Obviously, the next thing I couldn’t help but notice was the remarkable picture. I expected good reception and a nice picture. I was not expecting such extremely clear, crisp and sharp presentation from such a large screen, even up close! Characters often appear as if they could be life size and right in the same room with me. I’ve started watching the podcasts I used to view on my smartphone from this television. I get so much more insight from these interviews by really being able to fully observe slight facial expressions with ease on the large screen. The sound is much better than anticipated. When I read the description prior to purchasing, I saw that there were 2 speakers. I erroneously interpreted that to mean they must have skimped in the sound department and had planned to connect a sound bar and surround sound system. Welp, the sound is actually rich and amazing and I will not be adding any enhancements at all. There is a built-in subwoofer and the volume is perfect for me at an average daily listening level of 15. It will go to 100 without much distortion, but I have no desire to play it at that level unless, perhaps, I decide to reminisce with a VH1, "I Love the 80's" series. Read less

I have been searching for an 85 inch TV for about a year and a half and I am glad that this ended up being the winner. The image is beautiful for such a large TV. It is gorgeous with vibrant colors and crisp contrast. The black levels are rich and inky which is perfect for scary movie nights. Did I mention it was big. Like really big. I am transitioning from a 100 inch projector and, despite being 15 inches smaller, it feels bigger and the picture is night and day difference. I love watching in a room with the lights on. The reflections are minimal and does not distract except during the darkest of scenes. I would recommend that you have it professionally installed as it is a massive unit and can be very difficult to maneuver into place. Sports look amazing. The refresh rate makes everything crisp and clear and the size adds to the sense of immersion in the game. Speaking of games, images are amazing and run incredibly smooth. There in no noticeable lag but I am not an avid gamer. The sound is good but if you want the movie feel I would recommend an external sound system like a sound bar or surround sound set up. Set up was pretty straight forward and went smoothly. I like the Google TV system for the smart features. Downloading and setting up the apps was relatively easy. I am very impressed with this unit and is the rest of the family, especially the kids! I am very glad that I did my research and settle on this unit.
