The Ultimate Upgrade for Movies and Gaming
I set this TV up in my basement for my man cave, and it has completely changed the feel of the space. The Hisense 85" U7 Series MiniLED QLED delivers a picture that immediately grabs your attention. The brightness, clarity, and color accuracy are outstanding, and the MiniLED backlighting creates deep contrast that really brings movies and sports to life. Dark scenes look richer without losing detail, and daytime scenes stay vibrant even in a well-lit room. I also use it for PS5, especially FIFA, and the 165Hz refresh rate makes a noticeable difference. Movement is incredibly smooth, and the responsiveness adds a level of immersion I wasn’t expecting from a TV this size. It handles fast action without blur or lag, which has made gaming even more enjoyable. The interface is quick, organized, and easy to navigate. Switching between streaming apps, inputs, and picture modes feels seamless. The built-in sound surprised me with its clarity, especially for dialogue, which comes through cleanly even during action-heavy scenes. The only thing I would point out is that this TV is huge, so it really shines when you have the space for it. In my basement setup, it has become the centerpiece of the room. Overall, I’m extremely satisfied and would confidently recommend it to anyone looking to elevate their home entertainment or gaming experience.

Expectations greatly exceeded!!
When it comes to TVs and monitors, I am very particular, and I typically stick with only a couple of major brands but I wanted to try something new after seeing this set on display at several retailers in my area. My other main TV is an OLED, but I have wanted to try out Mini LED QLED, and let me tell you I am not disappointed. I was looking for a true upgrade not only in clarity but I also wanted something bigger for the family room in our basement, so I opted for the Hisense 85U75QG. I have seen this one on display at several stores and it always caught my eye. I can tell you that it is even better in person! Setup was breeze and the remote feels great; very high quality. The motion handling/clarity is outstanding, and the color depth is right there with OLED. Having a 165hz refresh rate is awesome as I sometimes like to do my PC/console gaming from the couch. The interface and apps are very snappy and the colors absolutely pop; the brightness is outstanding. I would recommend this TV to anyone that is looking to take a leap into a newer technology or is simply looking for a true upgrade at a reasonable price. I am looking forward to showing this off to friends and family over the holiday season!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this TV
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
