[@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.

Just purchased this TV on sale at Amazon after watching videos and debating for a long time. My first TV purchase as I always resisted and had older TVs given to me. I couldn’t be happier. I’ve seen better tvs in person like you said the value for price for someone who wants decent picture quality but doesn’t want to break the bank, this is the tv right now for them.

I have to say, that this TV is amazing. I researched multiple brands and models and settled on this one based on this video. Bravo on the review and the recommendations. Thank you for your time and input on this stellar TV.

[@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.

[@user-vx6of7fq6b]

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!

[@alexfernandez8083]

Best buy return window sucks but they do extend it till January 2024 if you buy something after Oct.15, 2023 for the holidays.

[@trendyprojectors4743]

I'm glad you're enjoying your Hisense U7K TV! I've heard great things about it, and it sounds like a great choice for you.

[@youtub415]

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.

Thanks Caleb for another great review. Subscribed and Thumbs Up because I'm a firm believer that Good Work should be rewarded. My parents just took delivery Tuesday on the U7K 55 inch model. So far they absolutely love it

[@carlkidd752]

I have a 55U8G and a 65U8H and extremely happy with both. The 65U8H was actually $50 cheaper via an Amazon Prime sale and promotion ($750). The 65U8H is my first TV that doesn't require an AVR or soundbar. Sure, movies and similar content do sound better via my Denon AVR and 5.1.2 setup, but who really needs surround sound when watching the 6 o'clock news?

[@davidoswald5749]

I too don't need a soundbar for my U7K, although I have one, the sound on this TV is incredible, at least to me, I've never heard such good sound from "just TV" sound. 😁

[@pranckstyr]

Hisense is a brand that went from a passing glance manufacturer to a major contender. The features and quality your get for the price really makes it a great choice for both value minded consumers and videophiles alike. Thanks Caleb and the rest of the Digital Trends crew for the video🤘

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!

[@danbowser]

I’ll be looking for this set. Thanks for the great reviews

[@jimsmith9034]

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.

[@Exiled_Rouge]

I almost pulled the trigger on a TCL last week. Glad I waited to see this review.

[@davidoswald5749]

I nearly purchased the TCL Q7, but realized it wasn't mini LED which surprised me because I thought all the higher end TCL TV's had mini LED nowadays, also glad I didn't go that route lol, I now love Hisense!

[@larrysawyer1832]

Great review as always. Crazy to think that it wasn't too long ago that Hisense was a brand not many of us were aware of. They keep improving the quality and features.

[@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.

It's great to hear that you're overall pleased with your new 85-inch TV.

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)

[@trendyprojectors4743]

It sounds like you made a wise choice in purchasing the 55" TV for your son. It's great that he's able to appreciate the improved picture quality and framerate. The brightness bug you mentioned is something to keep an eye on, but it's good to hear that you haven't encountered it so far.

I have the U75K (Costco version) in 65" and the remote is not backlit, but it does come with a 3 year warranty. I was able to snag it when it was just launched at $699. I've been mostly pleased with the picture quality when playing good quality content, and with my "ideal" TV being $1200-1500, I'm very happy with the price/performance so far of this one. If you look for it, "dirty screen effect" is there, with some minor banding, yellowish splotches against a full white background, but in most normal viewing I don't notice it.

[@prashantkompella5372]

I have the same TV, the remote is indeed backlit. However, it lights up for just 1-2 seconds. Check it out in a dark room.

@@prashantkompella5372 Omg you're right! It's extremely dim though, almost to the point of being useless. No wonder I didn't notice it earlier. Other backlit remotes I've used in the past were quite visible even in daylight, so I was comparing against that.

Another great review Caleb. You work extremely hard on these review videos and I appreciate all the effort you put in helping us choose TVs! 🙏🏾

[@TimCCambridge]

Hi. When will TVs and monitors give us the choice of 2:1 (or 18:9) ratio screens? Could a change in the standard screen ratio be a possible future? I think Sony uses 18:9 on their phones so... a screen to match?... Sony...? If you know of an 18:9 monitor please let me know.

[@trendyprojectors4743]

I think of two reasons: First, there is a large amount of content that is still being produced in the traditional 16:9 aspect ratio. This means that there would be a need for upscaling or cropping to fit the content onto a 2:1 screen. This could result in a loss of quality or in some cases, the image could be stretched or distorted. Second, there are some technical challenges that would need to be overcome in order to produce TVs and monitors with 2:1 aspect ratios. For example, the panels would need to be physically wider and taller than traditional panels. This could make them more expensive to produce and could also make them more difficult to transport and install.

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.

Just bought the Hisense 55U7K yesterday at Best Buy and am returning it today. Beautiful picture as described by Caleb with all the fantastic functionality. Unfortunately, my TV has a sound defect where the sound will cut out for a second or two every minute, sometimes multiple times every minute. Such a letdown. This really had all the features I wanted, but I cannot and will not live with this sound defect. Again, I don't know if it was just this particular unit, but when I looked up the issue online...there are other owners who have the exact same issue. I did every troubleshooting method multiple times and did a firmware update, contacted Hisense's (outsourced) support. Just wanted to relay this experience to anyone thinking about buying one. Best of luck!

Are u using a sound bar? Seems like ppl having the sound issues are using sound bar

[@michaelhoward4020]

Hosense TVs are junk! Hisense has a 30 percent failure rate on the TVs they make within 3 years of ownership and their customer service is a Joke that's not funny at all. Buy a Sony because Sony is extremely reliable and Sony has first rate customer service and are extremely reliable and also have great image quality.

@@michaelhoward4020 dude I have H9G , actually 3 yr now n running fluid n fine. I am sorry yours didnt work tho. Maybe u can get it fixed did u have led burned out? They are easy fix. ALL SONY/LG/Samsung TVs boought thruout Covid 2020-end of 2021 are suffering Major failures after 2-3 yrs. Because d TV are having 4-8 yr usage in short 2 yrs. TV ‘s life length is measured by HOURS, not randomly years. Exactly like cars. Tv are powered by light bulps they burnout. Cars are measured by “kilometres” cuz that usually tells ppl good idea how Quickly it will break down. It’s not Hisense fault we didnt buy any extended waranty n like blame on the tv. That’s like not fair. In busiensss school they tell us “ppl buy Expensive cars will go with MOST high tier insurance, they will Make Sure do Maintance, regularity. ppl buy cheap cars, they are going for Cheap, even if the car is good quality by fluke it breaks down little bit early , they will NOT baby d car, they will treat it like shopping cart, if the car breaks down blame on the car Brand. That tier of customers are most unable to please. They want to have a cake n eat it too. “ If we buy a tv that mids of Covid watching 10-15 hrs a day, 7 days a week. 6 months -12 months straight. Then like its run the tv thru half way mark without even knowing it. 2.5 yr is NOT bad. We just need to learn to get extended waranty. Dude. I got $3000 tv before. Got 4 yr waranty, then 4.3 yr later my tv broke, I was not mad, cuz i knew I ran that tv to the ground. If u have family , u have wife/kids/ family home all the time the tV is on all the time at home , any tv will die MUCH faster . 2.5 is little bit annoying but def not that bad. I paid $2400 so far for 2 Hisense , running fine.

@@birdtj82 Hey, sorry for the delayed response. I am using a sound bar, but I disconnected the sound bar and the TV still cuts out using its own built-in speakers. Hope this helps.

@@michaelhoward4020 I ended up going with the TCL Q7 and its been fantastic! I do agree with everything you said regarding Samsung products. I just didn't want to pay a premium price for one of their TVs. Although their OLEDs look absolutely stunning. Hopefully prices will drop to a decent price during Black Friday.

I've been waiting for this video thanks! Just in time for Black Friday...

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!

[@jerrymc4600]

I bought the 75" u7k in July, and I love it. I feel like it spoiled me cause looking at other tvs at a friend's or family member's house just doesn't look right. I also play my ps5 on it and single player games look so good. I have been recommending it to every person that mentions getting a new TV.

[@ojshotz110]

Does it work with PS5 @120hz ?

[@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.

[@alux1415]

Great review thank you for helping me make a decision to buy

[@parrotmode]

I literally just bought this TV a couple weeks ago, and I've waiting to see what you think about it! I really really love it, it's a gorgeous TV.

[@skaterspwn]

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.

I think that a direct head-to-head versus the Sony X90L would be an interesting comparison here.

[@CodyEngel]

This isn't the A95L... Still excited for the review, but I am peeved there was a poll asking which we wanted and the one that won isn't the one we got today...

[@LeezahB]

It also was a bit misleading because he had a short with the box of the UX and the A95L still wrapped, asking us which he should review next, then the next day an official poll was posted also asking which he should review next, and then the day after that he posted another short with the A95L unwrapped, turned on, sitting on the bench asking us what we wanted to see in the review. To me, implicit in that, the next review would be the A95L. However, it seems that the U7K was already in the works perhaps from before he went on vacation. Bottom line, Caleb’s back and we got another review and he even is back in the comments and responded to three or four people. Wouldn’t it help his algorithm to respond a bit more generously?

[@marvelatthemovies9143]

Great information as usual Caleb!

[@MWH86]

Always in point with your reviews 👌🏻

[@Sochsun]

A quick note on that peak brightness. Some people may be nit picky about how big the peak nit is, but usually its overkill for most people I have an A80J, and we had to actually turn our peak brightness down as it was literally blinding us in some scenes (Think Dunes desert or some Star Wars moments from the new trilogy) in our dark room

[@kennethbrdk]

I have an a80J as well and don't miss brigthness neither - plenty bright!

[@kennethbrdk]

This tv isn't that cheap in my country - rather disappointed by the price!

[@asole100]

True I have the X90L, and I didn't believe people who said it was too bright till I found out for my self. I have never had something be too bright, and make my eyes hurt other than the sun just because I didn't believe people who told me not to look at the sun 😂

[@bionicca]

My favorites for the technical side for sure ...but i feel very strongly that info like percentage of products returned from unhappy customers for defects, aand current brand reliability & longevity could easily be included as well In many ways, those are AT LEAST as vital as technical performance when new I just looked around a bit more, because I'm on the market, and trust these reviews, but noticed those missing components The forums are flush with people who have returned these 1 year old tv's early, just from drastic "dirty screen effect" (uniformity problems) upon unboxing alone Aand consumer reports just dropped Hisense and Vizio because they determined that 20% of their tv's have been failing within the 1st 5 years of ownership I'd be pretty upset if something like that happened to me for following the advice of a verry pro reviewer
