Hisense - 85" Class U7 MiniLED QLED UHD 4K HDR Glare-Free Smart Google TV with Gemini (2026)

The blacks are great, the brightness is insane, color out of the box is more than good enough for most folks, game mode works great with PS5, the GoogleTV OS is snappy and responsive, not sure what more you could ask for in an extra large TV especially at this price. With the correct rated HDMI cables it has no problem detecting what is connected even though its all being passed through a Denon receiver. I have not tried the audio but it has 2 sizeable rear firing speakers and even a subwoofer in the middle. Really like the matte finish especially with how big it is just makes it look nicer when off but when on it really kills any dark movie ruining reflection/glare, I have this placed in my main living area with a nearby glass door and overhead can lights and I'm not sure I could go back to a glossy screen. The colors do pop a little more with glossy but the matte is very worth it for my use case. Specifically the matte screen along with budget kept me from going with the UR9. Cannot speak for longevity but it does come with a longer warranty than many other models in this price range and their extended warranty is affordable regardless if you choose Hisense or Geek Squad. This often goes against a TCL model for similar price and after much deliberation and a few weeks of daily use I am very satisfied with my choice.

Everything I need for a brand-new TV is definitely the upgraded model, especially the anti-glare feature, a really nice touch for my bright living room.

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

I purchased an Excellent Condition Open Box U7SG from a Best Buy about 90 minutes away. Upon getting the TV home, we found multiple scuffs/chips on the TV (not on the screen thankfully) and we were missing the remote and all stand hardware after being assured it was in the box. We traveled back to the store where we were given a package with the "remaining supplies". Things seemed fine until we later realized we still were not provided a critical component of the mounting base required for stand use. We have attempted to contact the store and customer service to be made whole on a TV that was clearly not sold in excellent condition due to visible scuffs and scratches AND missing components required to use the stand. We already made an entire extra trip (90 minutes each way); I won't be making a third trip out at my own expense. With that said, the TV, when considered "Fair" condition, has been really nice. I, like many of you, was considering the QM7k and I couldn't be happier with the U7SG itself, I'd love to have purchased this TV at the price and condition it was truly in (Fair).

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.
