Customer Ratings & Reviews

Best out there for quality and refresh rate love it

Being an avid gamer since childhood, I am always keeping my eyes open for anything, and everything that will take my gaming experience to the next level. Having used every type of display over the years, including hand-held devices, CRT monitors, all types of TV screens, laptops, and so on, the large format display has always seemed to be lacking one way or another for gamers. The new Hisense 4K Mini LED display has changed my mind and has become the centerpiece to my gaming setup. *** SIZE *** Having a smaller room and sitting relatively close to my screen I chose the 55” display and it has been the perfect fit for me. It still feels huge for my room and is the smallest version they offer in this model, with the size ranging from 55” all the way up to 85” If you have a bigger room and more distance between you and the display, by all means get the size that feels comfortable to you and your personal setup. I can only imagine how massive the 85” would look! *** SETUP *** Out of the box setup for my 55” panel was extremely easy and quick. In fact, I did it all by myself. The 55” version weighs about 32 pounds, so it was relatively easy to maneuver. From unboxing and attaching the base stand supports, to setting it up on my stand and getting it connected, and updated, the time was about 15 minutes. *** INITIAL REACTION *** Wow! The first thing I did was load up Avowed on my Xbox (see my attached review photo). The screen popped like no other large format TV display I have used in the past. The whites were brighter, the blacks were darker. The overall brightness of the screen was brighter being rated at 1000 nits, and the wide color gamut offered on this display is nothing short of amazing. Arguably one of the most intriguing features of this display is the 144Hz refresh rate. This is a pretty amazing feature for a large TV display, and the feature that caught my attention immediately when I learned they were being released. As stated before, being a gamer for life, having a higher refresh rate has, in the past, only been available through smaller gaming monitors and gaming laptop displays. Having a higher refresh rate on a large panel display has been a “game changer” so to speak. To summarize, there are several reasons that having a higher refresh rate is beneficial to gaming including, more frames displayed per second allowing for smoother visuals and better response times. This is more noticeable in fast paced games, but will help with all gaming titles, as everything simply looks and feels much faster, which translates to a better gaming experience no matter what you are playing. Another area that this helps, is the communication between your controller and the screen, which feels faster and more responsive. If that wasn’t enough, you also have AMD FreeSync built in which eliminates screen tearing. Another notable feature for gamers and makes this the first large format panel I would consider hooking my laptop up to for PC gaming. All of this coupled with the newer Mini-LED technology, have come together perfectly to give us a display that can satisfy every type of gamer and movie buff. Mini-LED tech has been an equal treat to my eyes for both gaming and watching movies. With this panel utilizing both Mini-LED tech (thousands of tiny LED’s), as well as full array local dimming (zone backlighting), both movies and games pop off the screen with colors, brightness, and details that are among the best in class. The first non gaming video test I tried was to load up the Blade Runner 2049 Blu-ray. This TV boasts AI features, including one Hisense calls “Filmmaker Mode” which is supposed to adapt to what you are watching and deliver the sound and visuals as the filmmaker intended. I figured what better way to test this feature than with one of my favorite sci-fi series. A film that has stunning visuals ranging from bright and vivid to dreadful rainy gloom. While I haven’t had the display long enough to test it with several films, I can honestly say that watching Blade Runner with Filmmaker mode turned on, felt like watching it in the theater. The blacks were deep and noise free, there were literally no artifacts present. The colors, when presented in this film, were rich and vibrant. The surround sound had fantastic fidelity that you could feel in the room. All in all, an extremely immersive presentation for gaming and movies alike. *** OTHER NOTABLE FEATURES AND THOUGHTS *** This panel is also both Dolby Atmos and IMAX certified. When you include these great features with the aforementioned Mini-LED and refresh rate, you have everything the human eyes and ears need to immerse you in your media choices and hold you there for hours at a time. As with most newer technology, the inclusion of smart AI features have also found their way into this TV panel. These settings include different ways to customize your TV, such as optimizing the display to your room's brightness automatically. The Google Home integration and menu screens are all presented well and are very user friendly. Setup options also include ways to integrate and use your other Google enabled smart home devices through the TV menu system if you choose to do so. The main menu screen looks sharp and provides the user with all of the options needed to customize and select apps and available inputs easily. The remote is built solidly, is backlit for dark environments, and includes quick buttons for several apps, as well as a customizable favorite button. The WiFi has been rock solid since initial setup and I have had no dropouts since I initially connected. *** IN CONCLUSION *** As technology progresses each year, and is now finding its way into large format TV panels, we are finally getting a glimpse of what the future holds for gamers in this category. Having five large TV panels (mostly from another big box manufacturer) in our home ranging in size and age, the Hisense U7 is by far the best looking, fastest, and easiest to use in the house. I dare say, I may be converted. All of the features included with this TV line are among the best in class in 2025. I can both highly recommend, and strongly urge you to stop into a local Best Buy to see this fantastic display in-person. Now, back to my gaming!

This is my second Hisense TV, the first one is just over 8 years old.  It's still an excellent TV (55H9D).  It ended up in my office as a presentation device.  I thought I'd compare this 55U75 to my aging S*** (XBR55X900C) that I still think has the best picture of the 8 TVs (and 2 projectors) that I own.  So I acquired a 4K (60HZ) HDMI 2.0 pass-through splitter, allowing me to send the same 4K HDR10 signal to two TV's at the same time.   This is the first fully local dimming QLED TV that I've owned.  It's my 4th with Google TV (which I love for its combined menus).  I'm anxious to see how much TVs have improved.  I went throught the EZ setup and registration, installing the Google TV app on my iPhone.  I first started a std HD DirecTV baseball game, I attempted to get the color and brightness settings of the two sets comparable.  The Hisense allows a much more complete set of modifications than the S***, the Hisense has four times the number of options.  It allowed me to "tune In" pretty comparable settings; the S*** seemed dimmer than the Hisense and all greens were a little brighter than the Hisense.  The blacks on the Hisense were much cleaner (HDR10 probably).   I believe I got the black levels to be equal (disabling HDR). Looking at a pure white screen the Hisense was slightly whiter and more even than the S***, and the S*** had a white light seepage in all 4 corners, where the Hisense was 100% consistent.  Both of them displayed close to a perfect inky black, but the Hisense had more shades of black, offering better black detail. But onto live TV. A side by side comparison of the two showed the Hisense offered a much better detail with fast motion, both claimed to offer something like 'motion flow' 165/240, but the Hisense with full motion clearly clearly showed better resolution of the fine details, the blades of grass were clearer and the lines on the field and numbers on uniforms were SHARPer.  With both set to their Sport to their "Sport" setting the Hisense had a better/faster image display.  The more I watched for differences, the more the Hisense revealed finer details, a better picture with fast moving action. On to a UHD 4K movie, both sharing the same signal.  Now up Wonder Woman.  I again attempted to get the colors as close to the same, by adjusting the two TVs during the Menu Loop; they were close, the Hisense still had a slightly brighter overall display; blacks and bright areas were nearly identical.  Both were very detailed in the picture quality, a credit to what UHD 4K can deliver.  After more critical watching of a few scenes a couple of times, it became clear that the darkest areas on the Hisense had more details hidden in the shadows, and in the fast paced full motion scenes the Hisense captured the edges more crisply, where the S*** smoothed out the details, the edges not as fine.   I also compared the sound from the two TVs, which I would normally be using through a Home Theater system but for this side by side evaluation I would not.  The S***'s sound was not nearly as loud or as clear as the Hisense, and the Hisense had better bass and a better vocal tone as I increased the volume.  The Hisense could almost fill a big room, not surprising its 2.1.2 Multi-channel surround sound (50 watts total - 2x10W, 20W, 2x5W) was much better than the S***.  The Hisense 55U75 also supports AMD's FreeSync Premium pro, which will help if used with a gaming console (or PC).  I didn't know TV's (vs high end Computer Monitors) offered this. Both TV's support casting and screen sharing.  The Smart TV are very similar, both have Google TV, The Hisense is a later implementation that is more complete then the Hisense.  Hisense has greatly improved its user interface from the 55H9D that I have in my office.  Hisense supports Apple Home, Apple Airplay and Google Home.  Google Home continues to get upgraded and improve the Smart TV offering. With a variety of streaming services, it can present a unified menu across the different services (see image). I quickly looked at my Fandango support on each, both fully supported all formats including UHD, I tested both with a 5G wireless connection and both streamed without any problems.  The Hisense 55U75 initial setup was very easy, up and running in less than 5 minute.  The easiest set up of any TV I've installed. In conclusion, outside of OLED displays, the Hisense is state of the art.  It has the best sound I heard from any stock TV.  It's not the thinnest profile, but to get more/larger speakers into the TV I suspect it had to be thicker.  The cords and cables all exit parallel to the back of the TV so that it can be placed close to a wall.  It can be hung on a wall with a 200x400 wall mounting bracket (not supplied).   But when watching this side by side, the Hisense 55H9D was the clear winner; I asked a few others what picture they preferred and all chose the Hisense.  It's a great "high end" QLED TV, that's going to give the bigger names a run for their money. 

The 55U75QG is the third Hisense television we have had. The first one was in 2017 and the second one was in 2021, and the brand just keeps getting better and better as time goes on. We still have the first TV and the second one has been passed on to a family member and both are still working just fine, so any reservations I may have had in the past regarding value-priced televisions have been quashed. I am also rethinking my usual “buy the best you can afford” approach when it comes to certain products. Televisions seem to benefit greatly from the trickle-down effect and while budget-priced products may not contain bleeding-edge tech, they are not far behind and now have capabilities that should satisfy all but the most discerning videophile out there. The U7 Series from Hisense, while not at the very low end of the marketplace price spectrum, does contain a great feature set for the price point they compete at. One thing that decidedly stands out to me is the sound quality from the built-in amplifier and speakers in this TV. For the longest time when I looked at power ratings of built-in audio amps on TVs, it seemed like most were coming in at 20 watts of total power. This 55-inch set has a 50-watt amp along with a 2.1.2 speaker system that provides for a built-in Dolby Atmos experience. This TV provides audio performance that is beneficial to those who are hard of hearing and need some extra “oomph” when it comes to volume and don’t want to be burdened with the complexities and expense of an additional sound bar or audio system interface. The U7 Series also contains most of the “good stuff” currently popular in the television market including, a 4K Ultra-HD Mini-LED Pro panel with local dimming, the Google TV platform that is compatible with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple HomeKit, Variable Refresh Rate from 48 to 165 Hz, a Game Mode Ultra with auto low-latency, multiple HDR compatibilities, and Artificial Intelligence picture processing with upscaling capability for sources that are less than 4K in resolution. While I don’t have the capability to assign testing values to any of this stuff, those internet sites that are able to do so will have reviews out soon enough. I will say though that the 55U75QG does provide an excellent picture for those of us that do not wish to turn TV calibration into a hobby. I made only a couple of small changes, while there are a multitude of menus allowing for vast customization by those who do like to fiddle with that stuff. The picture is as good as any of the much more expensive televisions living under our roof. Some general observations I have made are: it is very welcome to get a backlit remote - EVERY TV should come with this, there is ample memory with 20GB on board, composite A/V input is via a 3.5mm mini jack requiring an adapter if your external device has the old RCA-type connectors, ALL of the four HDMI inputs are rated for up to the maximum refresh rate which hasn’t always been my observation in the past, there is a wide array of the usual jacks and ports and I can’t think of anything that is overlooked for connectivity, and Hisense includes a TWO-year warranty which is one year more than I am used to seeing on most electronic products. The TV does come with a paper “Quick Setup Guide” and there is an embedded E-Manual which provided a QR code that takes you to a version of the full manual you can view on your smartphone. Not my favorite way to read an owner’s manual, but I’ll chalk that up to my age. There is mention that you can find the User Manual on the Hisense website, but try as I might, I could not locate it. This 55 inch TV weighs just over 33 pounds without the stand and that is about half the weight of the 15-year-old, fluorescent-backlit, 55 inch TV it is replacing. The TV does not have the sexy, slim-profile a lot of modern TVs now have, but I suspect that is due to the five different speakers built in to the chassis and the need for the cabinet structure to surround the drivers and their baffling on the backside of the set. The stand for the TV consists of two very nice metal legs that securely attach using four bolts. I only mention this after having experience with TVs from other manufacturers that use plastic legs that snap into place with no attaching hardware. There is also a plastic cover that snaps over the legs to give a more finished look to the stand although the legs by themselves are very presentable. Wall-mounting utilizes a 200 x 400 VESA pattern. There are a couple controls on the bottom edge of the TV that will probably go unnoticed by most people and that is an on/off and multi-function, single pushbutton to use if the remote is not present. Short and long presses allow you to work through all of the functions. The other is a small slide switch that allows you to turn off the built-in microphone in case you don’t like smart devices that eavesdrop on your conversations, ready to accept a voice command from you (it arrives in the “on” position). The remote control, besides the welcomed back-lighting, is of an intuitive design that is easy to use and of a style that works as intended. I mention this because of another manufacturer’s remote that has a switch that toggles back and forth for volume up/down and it is very easy to depress straight down which mutes the sound, and can be very frustrating to use. The remote is a nice size and weight with a brushed metal top plate surrounding the buttons and it feels good in the hand. The Hisense U7 Series of TVs should please the frugal shopper with their price point, yet have enough features and performance to make the discriminating shopper more than happy. Remember the money you saved when in a few short years you get the yearning to upgrade to a new TV that has managed to find even more features and performance to warrant an update. Hisense continues to step up their game and it obviously shows in their product line for 2025.

To start off, this is my first Hisense TV. I usually stick to a competitor brand, but was very curious given the new generation 165hz VA panel and MINI LED array. Hisense claims up to 3000nits brightness via HDR. Other features include a 2.1.2 speaker setup, Google TV UI with ATSC3.0 tuner, Dolby Vision, HDR10+ and HLG. All backed by a standard 2 year warranty from Hisense themselves. PROS: The Mini LED + VA combination is quite decent. It's a noticeable improvement from a high end direct lit VA TV from a decade ago. You get the dark blacks and mini LED array will emphasize color reproduction, especially in movies or TV shows supporting HDR and Dolby Vision. -Native sound is decent. Can't really fault it, but I'm generally not very picky in this area. -The google TV UI is quite snappy as of time of review. Storage claims 20GB internally. -The tuner (coax antenna) via google TV functions great. Supports ATSC 3.0 which is a noticeable clarity improvement over legacy ATSC1.0 TV stations. CONS: VA panels such as the one in this 55" aren't the greatest for viewing angles. I'm not sure if the bigger models use an IPS type panel, but it's very noticeable if you've used a direct lit IPS or OLED type display in recent times. I can't comment on how MINI LED IPS looks next to MINI LED VA, but I'll make the notion that it's a general step up in regards to legacy direct lit VA which this TV replaced. The viewing angles aren't important if you're looking at the TV head on, just wanted to mention that for people that use their TV's in large rooms or host sports events. I think this model makes a great bedroom TV. MISC: - Remote looks nice and has a motion sensor for night situations. Auto lights up when grabbing! - Centered TV legs. Makes it easy to place on a smaller dresser or night stand. Mine for example is 33" and the typical TV with outer leg setups don't really fit. I really like this feature. OVERALL: I really like this TV. Is it the best looking? Maybe not. I think OLED options are still better as they pretty much check every box The con with OLED? susceptible to screen burn in, especially with news stations. MINI LED offers darker blacks relative to legacy VA/IPS TV's and higher brightness capability. I would say its a solid middle ground between something flagship and something low end. The middle child in 2025. There are times when I'm a little disappointed with certain content, but also notice how good it looks relative to the TV it did replace.. so again, it's hard to fault from this perspective. Either way, I can definitely give it a 4/5 rating and will recommend it, especially if the price gets anywhere close to the last gen 2024 model.

Incredible TV! I was skeptical of how good it could be, but I was pleasantly surprised by how amazing this TV is! I sometimes feel like I'm watching movie theater like experience! Contrast is awesome. Colors beyond compare. You might want to get it out of default settings as out of the box it's too bright (yes, too bright!) and colors are washed out. But get on YouTube and find out how to arrange settings without calibration. I don't have a sunny room I watch this in, but if I did, it would be perfect in that situation. Best Buy was awesome with their in person customer service when I picked it up.

I bought the 2025 Hisense U7 Series on December 4th during the Cyber Week deals, and after testing every device I own, I can say this is not just a TV. It’s a high‑end gaming monitor disguised as a TV, with some of the best AI processing I’ve seen at this price. The gaming performance is outstanding! The panel is a true 165 Hz display, and in Game Mode the input lag is extremely low with fast response times that keep motion clean at high frame rates. VRR works exactly the way it should. On my PC, I’m able to run it at 4K 165 Hz with a modern HDMI 2.1 GPU. This TV accepts a 4K 165 Hz signal and refreshes at the full rate without any issues. It's genuinely a premium gaming monitor, just on a much larger and brighter screen! I tested the newest PlayStation and Xbox consoles, and both run perfectly at 4K 120 Hz with VRR and ALLM. HDR gaming looks bright and detailed thanks to the Mini‑LED backlight and strong local dimming. There are no handshake problems or random dropouts. Everything just works the way it should. I also tested several AI‑powered Android devices and SBCs. Every one of them is AI‑driven, and the U7 handles them flawlessly. It accepts 1080p 120 Hz, 4K 120 Hz and higher depending on device hardware. Most TVs struggle with these signals, but the U7 locks onto them instantly. When you combine the AI processing on these devices with the TV’s own AI upscaling and motion handling, the results are impressive. The external device enhances the image first, and then the TV’s AI refines it even further. The final picture looks sharper, cleaner, and more detailed than TVs that cost several times more. For movies and streaming, the picture quality is excellent. The Mini‑LED Pro backlight gets very bright, local dimming is tight for a non‑OLED, and blooming is well‑controlled. QLED color keeps HDR content rich without looking overdone. The TV’s AI helps sharpen older content or lower‑quality streams in a natural way. Google TV runs smoothly, and while the built‑in interface is limited to 60 Hz, it doesn’t affect HDMI performance. Sideloading apps is simple, and the TV supports viewing security cameras through compatible apps. I even tested remote access using AnyDesk, and it worked without issues. After testing my PC, both current‑gen consoles, and multiple AI‑powered Android devices, this TV has proven itself to be far more than a typical mid‑range set. It performs like a high‑end gaming monitor with the brightness, HDR performance, and screen size of a premium Mini‑LED TV. For the price I paid during Cyber Week, it feels like I got a deal that shouldn’t exist. If you want something that excels at both gaming and movies without spending a fortune, this is the Google TV you're looking for!

You want a strong picture with vibrant HDR highlights without paying flagship-level prices. Outstanding picture quality, vibrant colors, smooth motion, and fantastic brightness. Great for those who want a mix of movie watching, sports, streaming, and casual gaming. Viewing angles are acceptable. A great value for its price.

This TV is a great TV for maybe the bedroom. In the 55 inch it is a different level of brightness capability than the 65 inch and above. I didn’t realize this till after I purchased it. Overall, the picture qualities is excellent, but I wanted the brightness to be a little bit more intense and the 65 inch and up offers that. But a great TV overall

Fantastic TV, but I would caution anyone who wants a dimmer TV in the bedroom as it does not get very dim. We found a workaround by connecting my xbox to it because in gaming mode it can get much dimmer than in the standard config. Otherwise I love this TV, super crisp images and always prefer the Google tv ui over Roku or Fire TV

My wife is the primary user, and she is quite happy. The picture is very clear, and it seems to upscale older TV shows which is most of what she watches. Well, that and old movies. The clarity on "TV" shows (streaming over services like Peacock and Paramount) is quite high. Note that we don't use the built in apps, we use an external Roku, because we prefer the Roku OS to the built-in Google OS. The sound is very good, we're able to ditch the old soundbar, which is nice aesthetically and saves an outlet and a port. I was surprised about that.

Coming from a simple A2 Oled and numerous older LEDs, this TV is amazing. HDR is beautiful, brightness is excellent. Local Dimming has improved immensely over the years-it isnt an OLED but still looks great in a dark room. Some light bleed in the corners but nothing insanely distracting. A bit chonky but with that it actually has a robust speaker set for just a TV. Yes, a sound bar is better, but excellent if you want it in a bedroom with minimal frill. Even simulated dolby atmos is noticable with my shorter ceilings. Gaming also looks great and is very responsive. However- my ONLY real solid complaint would be its motion handling, especially if you are a gamer. I have noticeable smearing and sometimes it is frustratingly distracting. So you get blurry and strange shadowing effect on some fast moving scenes and objects. Some things I did to help was turn on VRR- and any game I play, I turn the motion blur off. Settings for you may vary but 25-30 in sharpness seemed to cooperate the most. I disabled anything that had to do with motion smoothing. If you don’t game, I doubt you need to worry. I still love it for my games as they look bright and vibrant but this is the TVs only real shortcoming for the price.

After spending time using the Hisense 55" U7 Series MiniLED QLED TV, I’ve been genuinely impressed with how well it performs for everyday viewing. The first thing that stood out was the picture quality — colors look rich and vibrant without appearing over-saturated, and the Mini-LED backlighting delivers deep blacks with very little blooming. Bright scenes look crisp and punchy, while darker scenes still retain detail instead of looking washed out. I also really like how bright the screen gets, which makes a noticeable difference when watching during the day or in a room with a lot of natural light. HDR content looks especially good, with highlights that pop and solid contrast across the image. The Google TV interface has been smooth and responsive in daily use. Setup was quick, menus are easy to navigate, and all the major streaming apps were available right away. Switching between apps is fast, and the TV feels stable with no lag or crashes so far. Overall, this TV has exceeded my expectations for the price. It delivers a premium-looking picture, works reliably, and is simple to use day-to-day. Based on my experience, it’s an excellent value and an easy recommendation.

The picture quality is great. Really enjoy the 4K Dolby and HDR movies now on Netflix and Amazon. Google TV interface is better than the Samsung TV. Speakers are just okay, so upgraded to a soundbar and it's a decent home entertainment system. The annoying thing is it'll try to adjust brightness a bit too much. I have sensitive eyes so I don't like too much whites but on some content like YouTube it'll auto adjust it briefly on scenes with too much whiteness. Overall very happy with purchase.

This TV is great! Fast user interface, great image quality and sound. And surprisingly the remote is perfectly sized and easy to use!

This TV is amazing!!!. The picture quality and not to mention the sound quality is excellent and exceeds my expectations out of a TV. I was going between a similarly priced TCL and this model, I spoke to a sales associate at the store and was told that Hisense had better picture processing and was ideal for watching movies. The sound is also amazing for being TV speakers. You can actually hear all the dialogue without turning it really high, but at the same time you can hear all the action (especially with the built-in subwoofer) without having to turn it down. The remote is very easy to use without too many buttons and not to mention it is backlit for when the room is dark. I highly recommend this TV, especially if you really want a excellent picture and amazing sound.

I’m very happy with this TV so far. Image is crisp and bright, easily configurable and the sound is superb. Gaming functionality is much welcome. Performance is snappy. But on occasion the Android TV system will freeze and restart. It’s not a glaring enough issue that I have to lower my score, but it’s still there and it’s an annoyance. But overall, you would be well served by this TV if you’re a gamer and/or care about movie image quality!

Just bought the 55” TV. Super impressed with the picture quality as well as the sound quality. My previous LG TV I had to push the volume up. I cut the cord, so I’m streaming exclusively. A few pixelated issues, but doesn’t last long. And being able to program the favorite button to YouTube TV was a big plus! I also play x-box one and the games look great.

This TV is a tremendous bang for your buck. Great brightness, no chance of burn-in & the least glare I've seen on a TV in all my years. Honestly, so far all I didn't like was unboxing it. It's kind of a pain their way with the 55 inch model at least. Hear me out, other TV's you can easily slide the box up off the TV, so the box is gone and the TV is left standing there. Hisense's 55 inch U7 model they want you to pull the TV up out of the box with 2 people. It's awkward and heavy this way. Especially if you're older or have any hand/arm/shoulder issues whatsoever. I opted to just cut the box on the bottom as well and do it the proper way sliding the box up and off. Bummer to lose your box, but easier on the body. Honestly 9.5/10, have not ran into any other issues so far.

Great build quality, amazing picture and smooth gaming with the 165 hz gaming mode. Best TV for the money that I’ve found. Basically a huge monitor.
