Hisense U7K Review Value with High Performance

[@stopthefomo]

GREAT REVIEW - it's amazing how Hisense is pushing performance at budget prices

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

Thank you brother!

[@jeffreyrodriguez9009]

Hi guys based on your experience with the new u8 and u7 should I go with u7 65 or u8 55? My 65 U8G got junked out. Streaming/gaming tv for my garage. Don't care about sound. Thanks as always!!

[@oilerguy5494]

[@bigpun4780]

Bought the LG 48" A2 oled and kept it for 2 weeks. Ended up returning it and exchanged it for the 55" u7k and I don't regret it at all. The Hisense has a comparable picture (obviously the oled has better contrast) but the u7k is bigger, 144hz, 4 hdmi, atsc 3.0, good on-board sound (if you don't use a sound bar) and most importantly cheaper! So happy I went with the u7k!

[@BrianAlfordDrummer72]

Great video, Brian and thanks for what you do! After years of buying lower end Samsung TVs that were just ok (I’m just an average Joe with not much TV knowledge) I decided to give Hisense a shot and got a 65” U7H. I was truly blown away with the picture quality and am truly happy with my purchase. Good to see Hisense keep getting better for the last few years now! Appreciate you adding them to your reviews! Well done, sir!

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

Excellent comment, and thank you for the kind words. What your describing is exactly what I want to hear. I much rather see you with a Flagship TV of Hisense with all the features and specs vs a low level Samsung with nothing. Thank you again for the great comment.

[@TBoogy3]

Glad you figured that out. That's my biggest pet peeve is trying to explain to people with brand bias that a high end "cheap brand" is infinitely better than a cheap name brand model.

Bought the 75” U7K to replace my 100” projector setup(epson 5040ub) in my living room, I couldn’t be happier with picture quality and black levels, can’t believe i paid $1,150 for a 75” mini led

You bought the only IPS panel. All other sizes are VA. Shame

[@futureaceone3971]

Good review Brian. I was in Best Buy today and saw that Hisense has increased their store presence dramatically. They had the U8K 75" and the U7K 65" both on permanent manufacturer display stands. They also had the TCL QM8 and Q7 on display. I was hesitant to buy a Hisense before as there was no way to see it with my own eyes. All I had to go on were online reviews, both video and print. Now being able to see them and play with the settings changes everything. I was very impressed with the U8K. It's picture was amazing and appeared very similar to an OLED but with a brightness and pop that surpasses an LGG3 or a Samsung S95C. Combine this with a two year warranty from Hisense along with a credit card bonus of a third year of warranty coverage and I'm seriously considering purchasing the U8K 65" for just $1,100! I'm not a gamer and get all my content thru streaming and OTA. By the way the U8K also comes with an ATSC 3.0 tuner so it will be able to show 4K HDR broadcasts.

[@bigcdub]

Very good picture, definitely falls short of Oled. At the end of the day, it’s panel is still 8-Bit, backlit, and uses local dimming. Could never get the infinite contrast, or pure blacks of an Oled panel…

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

That would be impossible

[@bigcdub]

@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY My thoughts exactly, definitely impossible bro…

[@richhead1999]

​​@@bigcdubI'm sure what he was going for was the U8K is as close as you can get to an OLED without being an OLED.... in his opinion. Everyone knows you can't get as good as an OLED without being an OLED.

Just picked this one up at my local Brandsmart. U7K 75 inch for $899. Very nice tv, great picture, nice sound. Can’t go wrong if you ask me.

[@69Dartman]

My original 4k TV was a Hisense 55H8C and it had a ton of advanced picture adjustments. I used all of them but I could never get it exactly like I wanted but it was good enough for the extremely cheap price and it had surprisingly good black levels and minimal blooming with only 12 zones of local dimming. The color balance etc was my main problem with it. The new sets have really stepped it up and look nothing like that first offering series they sold here.

Brian, Thank you for another great video. The time and effort you put in to these reviews are very much appreciated. My father in-law loves LG tv's and currently has two in his home. The one in his living room is dim and needs to be replaced. He is retired, living comfortably, and can easily afford a new tv. I told my wife that I would like to get her parents a new tv for Christmas and she liked the idea. I was looking at the QNED 85, but this video has given me a possible second option. Stay cool!

[@gman5218]

U7k For Dolby vision use custom as dark is not only dim but mutes highlight detail . Also local dimming works different on Hisense TVs the higher the local dimming the more it boosts brightness gamma which can over-brighten with a slight white haze. Only use high local dimming in a bright room and medium in a low to dark room and the picture and contrast is amazing.

[@BillBernerTV]

Great review! Thorough. Techy but not too techy. No jokes, no razzmatazz, just what we need to know. My only gripe would be the varying exposure on your face. As for the TV. I think i actually prefer it to the U8K. In side by side I feel like although (or maybe because) its not as bright it has a subtler grey scale than .the U8K . Highlights feel more natural and unforced, yielding a picture with greater depth and dimension. I’m a retired DP, SO i take this stuff seriously. Representation of filmakers intent is the most important factor for me. Thanks Brian. Great work.

[@azadojat]

Best review so far, detailed, easy to understand, great job! Now I’m in a huge trouble, because I really like the ambilight feature of my Philips TV, but this peace of art is really made me want to switch for Hisense 😅

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

Excellent choice!! So glad you are enjoying it and thank you for watching

[@UhhhhhnooOOo00oO]

You have to switch the auto blue light feature off. Unless it's off, it still affects picture. Theater for sound and adjust for wall mount and do the acoustic adapting. Filmaker Mode is known to be too grainy and not vibrant enough on this TV. You either use Theater night and maje it a bit more clear and vivid or you use standard mode and make the image more accurate through that setting. (Not to be confused with Vivid mode, which is blinding and over saturated.) Turn off most of their help settings, like AI and learning crap and use some or all dynamic contrast. I hate to use it, but its necessary for a better image on the U7K VA panels. I own the 85" mounted. Adjust all modes separately, as usual. HDR, streaming of any kind, Dolby Vision, SDR and etc. Panel quality has gotten better. Reflections are decent, but not like a hifh end Sony.

Fantastic video my friend, I was a VIZIO guy for a while back when the M-SERIES was good but over the last few years, HISENSE has blown past VIZIO and I think they can challenge SONY and the other top brands if they keep getting better each year. That was VIZIOS mistake, they got to a certain point and that was it. I bought the HISENSE U8G and I'm still impressed with it. The U8G really showed people what HISENSE can do and they are still getting better.

I have a 40inch gaming monitor that I use with the living room PC, that is unfortunately on its way out. The hisense looks like it'd be a good replacement but need to know if it can handle full 4k 120hz hdr and vrr/freesync all without any issues. I skipped the Hisense G series as they didn't seem quite 100% ready for the PC yet so I'm hoping this will be the year.

Yes, the buit in speakers are surprisingly good and don't require a sound bar. The local dimming is fantastic. The only time I've really noticed the dimming zones is in a star field image like in Interstellar, which wasn't horrible but noticeable. At less than half the price of OLED it's a great buy.

I actually believe they have my friend, which is really saying something. What gives these and the QM8 the edge is that they don't dim when controlling blooming . The QN90B will dim to control that while these maintain their brightness.

But as you watched anything it seemed like a vale...as when the film camera spans the room it kept dipping in and out of contrast. Sent it back after 2 days. Im debating on getting the same and hoping its a fault panel. I really liked the tv for what it was ...the os worked really good. I got the 65inch. Rattled my head searching for tvs ...took me 5 days of reasearching the crazy amount of choices in tvs its just crazy. Took the tv back yesterday and having to wait for another 7 days for a new one. I gave up looking for another tv for time being as really want the u7k to work on the next one.

UPDATE - So far I am thinking this U7K will likely get returned. I am not digging Hisense. VESA mounting holes location cause the mount arms to go over the subwoofer bulge on the back of the TV eliminating any sort of flush mount requiring spacers to gap the subwoofer. How did they not catch that?! Also the left hand side screw holes were deeper then the right causing me to need more washers on one side. Took me an hour going through all my mounting hardware, spacers, washer to find something that would work. The arms and screws that I pulled off the old TV would have been a perfect fit if it wasn't for them making the sub speaker so wide. Again how in the world did they let this go to production. My experience connecting this thing to internet and apps is subpar. First this TV doesn't support any sort of WPS wifi connection so if you use a long password you must type it in like something from 15yrs ago and wireless B/G era. No functional link between my iPhone and the TV for using a keyboard. It shows the iPhone but just says disconnected even though my phone shows it's connected. Interface is seriously lacking polish. I might just put my AppleTV 4k on it from the bedroom TV and see how it does. Didn't think mondern GoogleTV/Hisense would be so clunky. When I stream on Apple TV app 4k content the picture slightly shakes and glitches. I have enjoyed gaming on it so far with a powerful Media/Gaming PC and a PS4 Pro. I just enabled VRR on my AMD GPU driver, used RivaTuner to cap my frames to 142fps and set the in windows refresh to 144hz. When you jump between inputs you can briefly see the refresh rate fluctuating with the FPS. Still can't find the status or info type button to see what the screen is outputting at any given time. Maybe I have been somewhat spoiled with the smooth functional of Apple TV products w/ my phone. No manual entry of data, keyboard works. Just feels like I'm using Windows XP in 2023 as far as feeling dated. If I can't work through the image shake I see on some content I am thinking this TV will be returned before the 90days is up. I might just spend more and get LG, Samsung or Sony to get a quality package. I'm still on my guest network as the primary network has a longer key and dread having to manually enter that. What modern 2023 device doesn't support WPS easy wifi connection? I haven't been able to fully test it yet or work through some of the bugs but so far I don't have a good feeling about this. Have a little regret but at least I can return it if it doesn't pan out. ORIGINAL POST - My U7K shows up in 12hrs or so. 65" for $699.99. 90 day return policy through Costco. Might go 75" U7K or 65" U8K as alternate options. Been waiting a couple years to replace the TV down in the family room. Was waiting for gaming rich features in the mid range segment.

gr8 review, Sir, and thanks for your honesty. My biggest concern is their operating system. Seems they have all kinds of issues. As a Sony fan, x90 series to be exact, I own two, Sony needs to step up and lower their prices. They should make the x80 better, add FALD to the x85, add MORE zones to the x90, and add an additional mini led to the x95 and do something with their pricing. It's hard to pick the x93 when you can get the U7 and U8 and reasonable prices.

Also, 75 inch has IPS-ADS panel? A concern?

Actually it was $979 and just went off sale back to $1118 range on 8/20. I just bought the U7K 65" for $699 as primarly a gaming screen for a Gaming/Media PC and a old PS4 Pro(Wipeout Omega).

[@thegerman3480]

As an owner (2nd replacement) I can vouch for the fact that, like all other TV's, the internal sound sucks ass. Bright scenes are amazing. Dark scenes washed out and at times it appears as if the TV just guesses at what palette of colours it should display making images appear at times to be cartoon like & unreal. SD looks like shit on this & indeed any TV 55"+. Some 'live' HD TV Channels can be awful also but this depends on how much compression is being used & the age of the material. That said I never saw the wash out I see on this TV on my old 55" 3D LED TV. If you leave the settings on this TV at their factory settings then this TV performs reasonably well for most but content has to be uncompressed & of good quality. The old saying cr@p in cr@p out.

[@KremeOnHer]

Brian from seeing tons of TVs in person I wanted to pick your brain regarding two. I unfortunately haven’t been able to see the TCL QM8 in person, but I’m torn between the qm8 and Samsung qn90b.

I wouldn't consider that particular Sony as that model typically lacks effective local dimming. Here is a vid of the U7K vs the X90L which is much higher end then the x85k. The U7K matches it and in some cases beat it kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2K5eYybaKp_jK8si=b2su0Ojgz9Uz7vHG

Hi Brian, Thank you for your review. I like one of the other people commenting bought this tv at Costco with the model being U75K. Was told the only difference being Costco offers a 3 year warranty. It is missing some of your options you reviewed such as: Under General picture settings it does not say "HDR" vivid, theater day/night, filmaker etc.... Dynamic tone mapping is there but it says "not available at this time" Intelligent scene is there but says "not an option" No dolby vision settings. Do you have any input or knowledge of this? I have contacted costco and Hisense both without any resolution as of yet.

Is this tv good for hockey brightness and motion rate ? Thanks. Great video

[@ihatemytown]

I’m torn! TCL QM8 @65” or this U7K @ 75”? Both around $1200 range. Is the QM8 worth it over the bigger size of the other tv?

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

The QM8 is excellent but not 10" bigger my friend. U7K is easy choice as 75" is an epic size if you have space

[@michaelwyckoff7593]

Will check this one out B. 😊

[@lionroaring7021]

Very good.

[@mannymrtz4940]

Could you do an update with best settings, or put on comments?

[@pouria6357]

Can you explain the difference between the different versions of this model? Apparently the international versions are different from the American version

[@rachelnicole9127]

Great review Brian ! Just sliding through w/ a question. Is it Better than the Qm8?

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

Hi Rachel! The U7K is a step below the QM8. I believe the U8K would be more in line as they are the two flagships. I'll be reviewing the U8K this week. I hope all is well

Please help guys, In Malaysia U7K is US$ 1530 65inch But U7H price US$ 750 65inch Which one you preferred please advise and our region don't gave U8H or U8K please tell which one I should buy, I usually gaming and watching movie TQ

[@kurakuson]

Sounds as if the U7k is an equal performer if not more impressive than the U8k.

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

We will see in a few days my friend as I have it here in the box beside me. Stay tuned and thank you for watching

[@kurakuson]

@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY I'm looking forward to it.

Brian, I would like to see a comparison between the Hisense U7K vs the LG QNED80URA (2023 Model)

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

I'll do my best if I can get a QNED. Thank you for watching!

Good review .. nice looking tv

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

Thank you my friend

[@taranagnew436]

can you set it up to automatically turn "gaming mode" on when hdmi input is a game console "via soundbar?

[@lyks1727]

Hello I’m in the market for a new tv. Is the U7K better than the U8H? Will be using it mostly Netflix. Thank you

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

I would say last years U8H is still a smidge better . However the new U8K is better than the u8h

[@lyks1727]

@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPYthere’s an open box U8H 65inch @bestbuy excellent condition for only 557$ and U8K is 1099 65inch. I think it’s a steal so I would get it. Thank you 😊.

[@tatitorodriguez376]

Sorry if this is off topic but it’s crazy to me that right now last years sony 95k (85in) is $400.00 more than this years so called follow up to that tv the 93l (85inch),shouldn’t it be the other way around.

[@ecast7135]

The question is.....picking one for the best, the U8H or the U7K?

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

That's a great question! I personally liked the U8H but I'd always go with the newer TV from a company like Hisense. I'm not sure how long they support their tv's.

[@moeswayseldom12]

I was going to buy a 65” U7H but now saw this one…what are the key differences in display or tuning to make them brighter and sharper. I noticed that the U7K could be adjusted to very close if not the same as UH8. Should i pay 30.00 more for the 7K over the 7H. Really dont have the budget for the 8.

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

I think the U7K is worth the jump over last years U7H. With these brands, I'd try to stay with the newest model, and the processing improves a good deal year after year.

[@RichClark-fk6qw]

Just bought a u7k 75" real good tv at real good price. Just set it to filmaker and turned off energy saving and great picture. Sound is decent, think cheap tv bar, and goes loud! As far and angle viewing, does well, have to get beyond 45 degrees off center before it matters[ 75" only] Good 3.0 OTA tuner, got more stations than old Samsung. Colors really pop on HD OTA stations, SD not bad. Black and white SD still good, probly dependent on how good signal is! TV is packaged well, cuts down on damaged TVs. As far as black levels go, when picture goes completely black, like someone shut all lights off in room, pretty impressive!

[@RichClark-fk6qw]

Not seen blooming problem, but may be busy with all the detail and poppy colors!

[@sj460162]

Great tv brian!

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

Thank you so much, and thank you for watching.

[@VanIyke]

Just ordered a 55" version of this on Amazon. Would you recommend buying a warranty to go with this?

[@uk.leonardosants]

I considering getting the 55” as well. What you comment on it please ?

[@kcstereo]

Hello Brian, Can you share your thoughts on the Hisense U7K vs the TCL Q7 series? Thanks

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

So far, I'm enjoying the U7K quite a bit . I haven't see the Q7 enough ( other than CES) to be able to make that determination.

[@kcstereo]

@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY Brian, I went to BestBuy to see the TCL Q7 and was disappointed with... The motion. To me it appears to have too much judder

[@elkioscotv4546]

Hi. I bought this TV at costco (model U75K, supposed to be the exact same as U7K), however, the HDR picture options are not present, and dynamic tone mapping is not there. neither are the dolby vision settings. Was I ripped off? Did hisense strip down the costco model? or is it something i can enable somehow? the dynamic tone mapping option is there, but grayed out, says "unavailable".

[@SilverBld]

Old video I know But this or the C1? I have the C1 but I have a minor issue where the very bright objects appear to have faded horizontal lines like a venetian blind it can be ignored the picture still looks good but it's an issue once you see it you can't unsee it you know what I mean? So is it worth changing the C1 with this issue to a U7K or I should just keep using the C1 normally the issue is only in HDR content.

[@Atharun18999]

As someone who owns one. The HW is great, the SW, not so much. Apparently Hisense has issues with Dolby Vision. It's forcing DV onto non DV content, thus washing out the picture. Additionally, Dolby IQ is broken right now. Also, the TV struggles with 2D animation motion. Gradient is def a weak spot as well. I thought it was just my unit (which is being returned), but apparently it's not uncommon for these. Out of curiosity Brian, how long do you use a unit before putting out the review? Keep up the content brother!

[@saqqawattuhb7505]

Can this TV replace my Samsung 85" QN95B? Will I miss Samsung if I get this TV? Im going for 100".
