[@Br1ghtGhoul77]

I’ve had it for a couple weeks now. I absolutely love it. I had the U8G back a few years ago and upgraded from the 55 u8 to a 65 U7N..honestly overall the picture quality is better because they have upgraded their image and motion clarity/processing

[@RTINGSdotcom]

Hope you enjoy it! 😄

[@andreyloranca]

Are you guys going to review the 75" version since it uses a different panel?

[@000T00b]

I have the 55" U8G - really love it. Apart from picture quality, the sound and volume has been the biggest revelation for me. Thoroughly satisfied, and will upgrade to a 65" mini-LED Hisense model in the next year or so.

[@CobraBlade]

It was finally time to retire my Samsung KU6000 with all its white rings during bright scenes (from almost all of the reflectors having fallen off by this time). This video convinced me that this TV was the way to go and I’m so happy with it. It’s amazing, quick and clear for gaming and the AI upscaling is really helping with all of the older media I watch. Thanks for this review!

[@teaizyummy]

update?

[@CobraBlade]

@ No issues so far, still going good. How many years I can get out of it will be the real test.

[@ForeverVersatile]

How is the game features?

[@CobraBlade]

@ There is a FPS counter you can have displayed and a bunch of presets for different game types, FPS, RPG, etc. but I’m happy with defaults so haven't touched any of that. Main thing for my Xbox One X is 4k @ 60Hz or 1440p @ 120Hz. Due to my Samsung being an early 4k model the 1440p is not only more responsive but looks way sharper and crisper than what I used to get at 4k on the Samsung.

[@kristfur]

I got a U7G a couple years ago. Happy with it. Lives in my bedroom where I'll never be viewing off angle. It did not play well with a Vizio 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos sound bar using the HDMI connection (lots of sync issues). A Vizio 5.1 soundbar using an optical cable works flawlessly. Added an alternate android TV launcher, and stream PLEX. Works great

[@carelessways]

Watching this is in my bedroom on the 55inch version after having it for 2 days and enjoying the review and the tv. Great contrast, great blacks (not on the level of the 77 inch b2 in my theater room)

I wish this VRR issue was shown. It's hard to picture what it looks like and if I would find it distracting with just a description.

[@ReggieVdz]

Variable refresh rates issues are very tough to capture and show through a camera in a 30 or 60p video, sometimes even impossible

[@dustinjohnson267]

I just got the u7n yesterday. I turned vrr on my series X. I am using a fire rated 25ft hdmi but it is rated for 4K and high speed. I’m using this because by desk/gaming monitor is on the other side of the game room where I play my competitive games. I noticed the vrr flicker when I tested it out. It only does it when vrr is turned on the Xbox series X. But when I turned it off the tv ran flawlessly and ran at a constant 120hz when I was playing cod and it was very responsive. I plan on using the tv for my ps5 when it comes in later this week got one for cheap since it needed a new hdmi port. But I can’t wait to play wukong and other PlayStation exclusives. Plan on using tv for mainly rpg and sports games. I’ll stick with the monitor for any comp fps games due to the monitor having a way lower response time.

Strange how this has better EOTF accuracy than the U8N

[@abelramos8652]

Happens when you got to deal with more brightness

[@03chrisv]

Considering that the UN8 gets brighter, it's not surprising. Also in reality when looking at the TV in person rather than graphs and numbers it's a non issue. I'll gladly take brighter highlights over slightly more accurate mapping of HDR.

[@chibbyylol]

@@03chrisv sure but at that point you lose the capability of a ‘filmmaker’ mode or the like in regards to film producers intent Any TV can be brighter if set to vivid mode or the like but if one once in a while want accurate picture mode, they’re out of luck with say this U8N because even in its most accurate mode…it’s brighter than it should be

I had the U7N for about a week and a half and I loved it... until I noticed a very annoying red ghosting effect on content that would appear on the outline of moving people and objects. It was really noticeable in the opening sequence of Dune 2. Such a shame because besides that, the TV was solid with great contrast. I returned it to Best Buy.

[@ashwanibhola3766]

I have the U7K and I've only noticed the red ghosting on low bit-rate content, such as old shows on Amazon Prime video. For most of the content I watch, I don't really see it. What does still bother me is the brightness changes that lag a half second behind a scene change. That's very noticeable and still bothers me.

[@-ak-634]

@@guitarplayer4429 Well, its quite better than VIZIO for sure with superior black colors and screen quality. Definitely a good TV for gaming. The big negative will have to be with motion interpolations in some cases, in which they're muddy and grainy and not at all clean. Additionally, there's some cases of red and green motion blurs (which I read are pretty common complaints with Hisense models). So all in all, I'll give this TV a nice B+, which is a step-up over B grade that I gave to my old VIZIO TV. Quality product at the price that I can't be too mad about, though I'll probably look for a different brand in a decade or so.
