Hisense U7K Review | The Best TV for Most People

[@Caleb_Denison]

Hey everyone! The takeaway here is that if you were thinking of buying a $400-$500 TV at Target, press pause and look at this TV. It’s just got far better picture quality for the money than just about anything else out there. Hope you all enjoy! Got some seriously big TV reviews coming up next! Edit: to all those requesting a vs with U8K and X90L - great idea, but the X90L was returned to Sony. Also, I think the A95L and Hisense UX reviews, along with the ultimate OLED showdown I have planned would push such a vs. video into 2024.

[@LeezahB]

Always look forward to your reviews!

[@canabisquick]

I don't buy a TV until I see a review by you. I was on the fence about it, now I know. Thank you!

[@karansharma111]

a95l?

[@thomasharrison6444]

I am currently boxing up the second U7K to send back because of imperfections in the screen. I am confused to why none of the U7Ks that reviewers have raved about have the imperfection, it is about the size of a grain of rice and on both TVs it appears in the left hand corner. My Sony TV's don't have these marks inside the screen. My OCD would not let me keep these. For the money the quality should be better. Maybe most people don't run a DSE / Hockey test and check the screen and never notice the imperfections. Hisense Screen Quality is not there.

Caleb, I fully agree with you regarding the HiSense U7K. My 10 year Toshiba TV died a few weeks ago and after much research (and before I saw this video) I chose the U7K. Specifically I got the U75K from Costco Direct. It is essentially a U7K with a 3 year warranty. I also like Costco's return policy of 90 days versus Best Buy's 15 day return policy. Other than the off center viewing angle contrast, this TV is fantastic. Though I chose my set before seeing your video, I wanted you to know I've watched several of your videos over the past few weeks and very much enjoy your insight and analysis. Keep up the great work!

Buy the costco warranty and you get 6 years. My old tv had a problem at 4 years and got it repaired thru warranty...they replaced all the LEDs and its good as new. Should've just given me a refund since the cost (per repair company) was $1200 which is the same amount I bought my TV.

Caleb, this is an excellent TV, and has a lot of bang for the buck. I have the 75" version. I can confirm that the 75" size has an IPS panel, and the off angle view is very good. This was one of the main points I considered because I have a wide and shallow game room, so off angle view was important. I has also considered OLED, but this was $700 less expensive vs. a Samsung 65" S90 series OLED.

I got the 75U7K earlier this week and I love it. Your recommendation led me to this TV. I came from a low end Samsung TV from 5 years ago so this is Day and Night difference. First time having a TV with full array local dimming, and now I can never go back to edge lit. The only thing that could be better is some of the motion handling but you cant have everything. Thank you for helping me in my buying decision.

I will say, I have this TV, had it for about a year. I came back to the review that sold me on it, and the brightness does not disappoint me whatsoever. I don’t have the tools to measure the nits, but it seems to punch up to at least what the specs say. It’s bright even in my 3 windowed living room.

[@intercooler21276]

[@jjsantangelo49]

@@intercooler21276 absolutely zero problems, they actually had an update since then and the operating system is way smoother. And I can turn off the ads now and have more of a basic homepage with just my downloaded apps. I think my panel is brighter than his bc I have had no problems in a bright room, and in a dark room with Dolby vision on, she is absolutely stunning. I don’t see blooming unless my nose is basically against the tv. And this years model is even brighter? The only thing is I hear the U7N isn’t as accurate out of the box. This one though is right below flawless. I run an LG soundbar to it via Earc and I never have delay issues, and gaming is a breeze, beautiful picture, super low input lag, and the 144 @ 4k is just killer for the price point.

I got the 55" for my 14 y/o son to use with his PS5. I couldn't justify getting him an OLED & this checked all the boxes for me. The way his room is set up he'll never be sitting off angle. It is a very good set & the picture was beautiful once I dialed in the settings. I'm also glad he understands & sees the benefits of this TV over his old one. He actually noticed improved framerate on some of his games & picture quality on some shows of the shows he watches. Caleb I've never seen that brightness bug, but I haven't checked his settings in a while, if I remember I'll report back (he's sleep now)

Took a while to get all the picture settings for all types setup (SDR, HDR, DV) but this setup is amazing for someone that doesn’t want to give up cable just yet and wants a minimalistic look in the living room. No cable box, no speakers all over, and smooth experience with Apple TV. Thanks Caleb for the great reviews and spot on advice!

[@JA070288]

I was going to grab a Q7 but I'll get this instead. Thanks 'Trends'🎉

[@davedumond9268]

Well I took your advice (like I did for the Sony A8H, which I love) and just picked up a 65" for $699 and wow, it's everything you say it is. It's amazingly good for the price. Thanks again and keep up the great reviews, you are my go-to.

[@ChrisXif1]

Caleb, I really enjoy your reviews. I'd say I'm nit-nerd adjacent, and when my living room TV stopped working I found your reviews on Digital Trends very informative and helpful. I actually purchased a U7K and agree that it has a great picture. I did however end up returning it and getting the U8K as the price difference wasn't significant and it is indeed brighter, which I like. But the differences would likely be lost on most casual watchers. One thing I'd love for Hisense to improve would be the quality of the remote. While it functions adequately day-to-day, it is fairly low build quality, especially for the U8K 'Top of the line' model. Hisesese U6K, U7K, U8K in the USA all use the same remote (other models too?). The button layout is just okay, and the back light is much to dim to be useful to anyone. The backlight also requires a button (any button on the remote) to be pushed to active the backlight. The TCL QM series Google TV remotes have brighter more useful backlighting, and it is motion activated as well. The TCL remote build quality just comes off as much nicer than Hisesne's IMHO.

[@stevekeener6528]

Bought this TV per your review and couldn't be happier. Beautiful picture and excellent price for the quality of this TV. It hits all the bells and whistles for me. I watch a lot of sports and the picture quality and refresh rate do the job. Thanks again for the thorough review.

[@IgorAlbornett]

Thanks Caleb, one quick question: when it comes to dark scenes in hdr, is there a significant difference between the U8K and the U7K?

[@lilmisery1643]

Yes, the u7 has 500+ dimming zones while the u8 has 1000

[@aradam29781]

Have owned a few 75 in tvs in last 5 years recently took my 75 inch U6 moved it to my garage and bought a new U8K wow oh wow huge difference love the picture and brightness we have total of 6 Hisense tvs in our house, for the the money you can't go wrong

[@birdtj82]

Are u shocked how U8K look so MUCH nicer in person that what U8K look like in his 3-4 U8K videos ? 😅

[@birdtj82]

He will purposely set u8K up funny n “well if u has higher budget n want bet in processing , u should look at SONY X90L “ it always at end of TV review. He did that to U8H too last yr. Now u are U8K owner, look at his 2024 Hisense videos. U will see it. His Hisense “reviews” do NOT match the “in home visuals” , he will FOR sure PRODUCE something” why is this yellow” or “why is this blinks( Film maker mode + Motion smooth set to “OFF”) “ n in his Hisense video suddenly :”oh i was surprised to Discover, I wonder why!!!😮😮😮”. U should go back to see those u8k u8h 😅videos.

[@PhalanX4012]

Awesome! Sharing it around! Just want to add, I might be in the minority but I really appreciate your sincere request for help on this video. Not only because, as you said, you don’t ask often or aggressively. But also because it seems like your biggest motivator is simply sharing news of a great tv that could be a game changer for a lot of tech lovers on a budget. I love that it feels like growing a community in addition to building your own brand.

[@natewilliams346]

I got this tv last week and man is it good !! The colour and brightness is amazing !!

[@JoeyGABC123]

Quality review, Caleb. I’m looking at the best higher-end “budget” TV and you summed up where this TV fits. It’s been years since I’ve purchased a TV so it’s good to hear that Hisense and TCL are putting out quality TVs. I finally have the confidence to move away from Sony and Samsung without second-guessing my purchase.

[@garrettstrutz7421]

Sony and Samsung mid tier and up are soo much better than any Hisense. I would take a Sony or Samsung regular sized led not even mini over any Hisense or TCL

[@robotpicnic6508]

​@@garrettstrutz7421I'd look at LG as well. Much better quality than Samsung.

[@JPBJones]

Any Sony or Samsung set at comparable screen sizes will cost a lot more than the U7K, not to mention Samsung's OS is garbage. @@garrettstrutz7421

[@eduardosanchez7827]

I never expected to get a recommendation of a Hisense TV on this channel (no harm intended, I love this channel). I was wondering about this TV and I just plugged the trigger during Black Friday deals. Thanks!

[@jockhater2]

I was originally looking at these mid level TV’s from Hisense and TCL. I finally settled on getting the Hisense U8H or waiting until the U8K came out. But I did some more waiting and searching. I ended up finding at my local Best Buy a Sony X95K open box certified excellent condition. It was only $100 more than the U8H. I am glad I went with the Sony. It’s my first not crappy smart TV. The previous one I had was one I bought for $150 off of Craigslist an old Vizio. And I am very glad I went with the Sony because it just has zero problems. There is no bugs, or glitches or anything annoying or irritating that it does. Hope this helps someone on the search.

[@sepg5084]

I once bought a Sony Bravia smart TV. It broke in less than 5 years. I'm not gonna buy a Bravia again, though i don't to buy China TVs too.

[@Dyanosis]

@@sepg5084Most major appliances, whether you like it or not, use parts that are made/produced in China and other neighboring countries. So no matter what you do, you're getting a Chinese-esque product.

[@YASCYT]

One of the best general A/V review channels on YT, period!

[@ice9sydas]

Lovely video. Thanks for the content again.

[@johncontreras9782]

Awesome been watching for years already on my 4 tv we have bought on your recommendation and just watching a video creator that arrives at the same conclusion as I do makes me feel a little smarter.

[@danrose5341]

I love that you can get so much packed into a Hisense TV for such a good price, but my only concern with Hisense is how long it will last. It's great to see what a TV can do right out of the box, but do you have any data on Hisense TVs over time? I've seen a lot of reviews where they've died after only 2 or 3 years, but I know that could just be a very small percentage since people are more likely to complain about something online. I'm just not sure if it's wroth rolling the dice and hoping for the best on a Hisense TV, or if it's better to get a Samsung, LG, or Sony with fewer features, but maybe a higher probability of lasting longer?

[@birdtj82]

I have had 2 Made in Japan panels before $2800 and $4000 . Post that my 2 Hisense Flagship (together $2400 so far) has Matched UP . Ppl talk about their “low quality” are d ones whiny cuz they buy Hisense ROKU (its like VW Jetta n gets mad its not AUDI A5 A6). Those Roku are $250-340 at Walmart. Hisense does NOT really sell their PREMIUM Android/Google TVs at Walmart at all. I am not sure but they are NOT that easy to find. N they are very premium. Mine is 1.9 yr n 2.9 yr in both went thru a move too. So they are Great.

[@JPBJones]

I've had an ultra low budget 4k HDR Hisense set that I bought 6 years ago, on sale for $450. It's served me very well and still works as well as the day I bought it. It's being replaced by the U7K today, but will live on in a friend's living room.

[@marky3609]

I bought the Hisense U7G last year off your recommendation Calob and have been very satisfied with this TV ever since si I'm definitely getting the U7K this year I'll be replacing my U7G in the living with it and putting the U7G in my bedroom.

[@SickBoy99a]

Hi Caleb. Great review! I just bought the U7K three days ago. So far, I'm really enjoying it, although I'm still figuring things out. I think this could end up as one of those legendary bang for the buck tvs. So far, I've only done streaming on it, but I'm going to try some 4k UHD Blu-rays this weekend. Just liked and subscribed to your channel. Keep up the reviews coming.

[@trendyprojectors4743]

Great review! I'm glad you're enjoying your new U7K TV. It's a great value for the money, and I'm sure you'll love the picture quality.

[@AmstafStaf]

In belgium we have a black friday deal on the 65inch U7K for 400 euro (440 dollar). Bought it straight away after watching your review! Thx a lot !

[@mbrennecke]

go algorithm go!

[@harrisoncastleberry458]

My husband just bought me this model. It has yet to arrive and we have some major rearranging to do in the living room. I’m so glad that it ranks highly with you since I consider your opinions a lot when assessing what I should get and what not to get as well!

[@markroy3001]

Bought this TV (799 CAN) 55" after seeing this review and researching for a couple of hours. Everything sounds great and can't wait to pick it up in a few days (BestBuy). Thank you for the guidance and insight Caleb. It is hard to determine a great buy with so much selection out there. Will come back to give my impressions. Thanks again!!

[@mo-akif]

How are you liking the U7K? Thinking bout getting it.

[@bionicca]

​@@mo-akifI recommend gathering data from multiple sources...including customer reviews, and owner forums, depending on what you need/expect to get out of it

[@vincentfalcone9218]

Just bought a 55" U7K for $548 Considering it's a 120hz panel with VRR, has decent local dimming, decent HDR, Dolby Vision and is fully compatible with PS5/Series X with very low input lag - it's a steal. 2 nitpicks not discussed in the review: 1. Only 2 of the 4 HDMI ports are 120hz. Since I'm using the TV for my Series X, PS5, computer monitor and I pass audio to my receiver via ARC - I had to deal with buying a 3rd party HDMI switcher. Really wish all 4 ports were fully usable. 2. I've noticed some dreaded DSE (dirty screen effect). It's not horrible but it is definitely noticeable at times.

[@asole100]

1, and 2 seems like a common theme among many TVs in all fairness

[@ThatCG95]

I had the LC C2 48 and I sold it get the 75 U7K. This TV has everything you need. If you are looking at the display and the size this is the go to. Sounds you will be better of with a sound system and for the smart apps since my region is Vidaa get a fire tv stick and your are good to go. Compared to an oled where you still will have the image degrade over time even to the slightest this is a better buy

[@thefinalroman]

A degraded oled beats a dead no name led.

[@tomchaney9847]

Bought one of these for my mother in law and I like it better than the U8K I had bought ( and returned) for my self. She loves it and I do as well.

[@Pyridius]

Had the TCL Q7 on my watchlist for Black Friday, good to know to have this one on my list as well! Thanks Caleb as always :)

[@Atlasworkinprogress]

Be careful, manufactures are know to put out Black Friday special models under the same model code with less features than the mainline model so they can sell them as cheaply as possible. They might cut down an HDMI port, might have a 120hz panel instead of a 144hz panel, processor might be worse, etc.

[@Pyridius]

Thanks for the advice, I'll keep an eye out!

[@DelTalkoh]

I pulled the trigger on this tv a month ago and I'm very glad to see that you approve of it. Its a great value TV and I'm very impressed with it. Its Definitely not an x93 but its very enjoyable to watch.

[@fatherseth2008]

I had bad motion issues with my new U7K 75 inch that were only fixed by using a 4K Roku Ultra. Just bought the U7K 75 inch at BB even though I read how other users reported frustrations with motion handling. I mostly watch and stream sports & KZbin. I immediately had issues with motion and couldn't figure out any fixes. I read lots of online user suggestions to fix it. I was about to give up and return it when I tried connecting my Roku. Problem totally solved! The TV is now truly amazing. Great picture. Sound is fantastic. Saved by Roku. Hisense needs to work out issues with the Google UI. Other than that it's a great TV!

[@bionicca]

They skimp on processing power

[@jollygiant-xq1lk]

I bought it 4 days ago. Your review helps reassure me. I think it's awesome so far myself

[@yowsa90]

My 2 year old 75 inch TCL just kicked the bucket today, so I bought THIS per your video! Thank you!

[@bionicca]

Oh man...75" TCL, 2 years? Duly noted, thx

[@IBODEGAI]

I grabbed this. I did more research than just watch this video. As a OLED die hard I needed a tv for the bedroom but didn’t want to buy another OLED. I’m very happy with the U7 paired with a Apple TV 4K.

[@brandonmurray2953]

Thanks Caleb, I was looking to upgrade my 2 50 inch old Samsung and this sounds like exactly what I need. Appreciate your work

Hows the TV so far?

[@stevenlee5334]

Excellent review from Caleb of the Hisense U7K TV. I would most certainly consider it to purchase if it was time to replace my 75" LG, but I will recommend/share this review with a few friends who are looking to purchase a new set. Thanks again Caleb for your continued excellence doing the voodoo that you do!

[@TXVivir]

Enjoyed your thorough review. I was considering another brand tv but have now decided this is definitely the best value for my $$. I went to Best Buy to check it out in person and was impressed! Thanks again! Waiting for the next holiday for a better priced deal! The 55” is priced at $649.99. June 2024

[@Jack51971]

I just bought a 70 inch Hisense A65H. $349 clearance at Sam's. A 2022 4K model. Right next to it in the store was a 65 inch Samsung QLED for $749. Sure, the Samsung was a brighter picture but our Hisense is pretty good. A lot of it depends on the signal of the station DVD etc etc. We have 2 basic 4K televisions now and what will brighten these two up is turning on more lights in the room.😊

[@Wowsheeka55]

Thanks for this review-so many other reviews leave me more confused about what to buy than when I started.

[@birdtj82]

MY Hisense 2 Flagship panels are 1.9 n 2.9 yrs running fluid , went thru a Move too. No quality or signal issues. This U7K is so advanced for this price is insane.

[@RedUnited30]

In the market for a new tv. Been doing so much research. Still have a 10 y/o Samsung 50in. Every video and website I’ve used for research always list the U7 and U8. I’m going for the U7 75in. Thanks for the great info!

[@danieldevito6380]

I got the 65" for $700 back in December and I'm absolutely blown away by the picture.

[@EShelby2127]

I went ahead and pulled the trigger on this TV today. I used my Amazon Pay card, which was promoting 0% APR for 12 months at $58 a month. Finding the right space will be interesting! I'm in a micro studio and have lived with a : "TCL 32S3800 32-Inch 720p Roku Smart LED TV - 2015 Model that I bought on Black Friday 7 years ago, for $125... so yeah, a major upgrade.
