Hisense U7 Series 100U75QG 99.5"

85 out of 100 low confidence 7 reviews

The Hisense U7 85" mini-LED TV receives overwhelmingly positive feedback for its exceptional picture quality, brightness, and value for money. Users praise the vivid colors, deep blacks, and smooth motion, with many noting it competes with TVs costing significantly more. However, a few reviewers mention potential issues like audio glitches (fixable via settings) and a lack of noticeable improvement from high refresh rates for gaming. Setup is generally easy, and the Google TV interface is well-received, though one user had a poor experience with a used unit and unhelpful manufacturer support.

Pros
  • Exceptional picture quality
  • Very bright display
  • Great value for money
  • Excellent color saturation
  • Deep black contrast
Cons
  • Potential audio glitches
  • High refresh rate not impactful for gaming
  • Possible used unit delivery
  • Useless manufacturer customer support
  • Full price may not be worth it
