Great Brightness, Lackluster Contrast
The brightness is something else. It will light up a room. The colors were also surprisingly vibrant. Contrast is not the best but when you have dark scenes the dimming zones help. Overall, a great mid-range tv.

Excellent Quality for the price.
Just lost a Sony TV (high end), after only 3 years. Bought 2 new Hisense U7N TVs (65" & 55") for less than I paid for the Sony. The techs did a great job of installing both TVs on the walls. So far the color and sharpness has been great on both units. We are very pleased and hope they last longer than 3 years.

Solid Performance...at the Center Viewing Angle
?? UNBOXING: Unboxing the Hisense 65U7N is straightforward. It’s ideally a 2-person process for safety, but could be done by one person who has the strength to do so. Snip the straps that secure the lid to the bottom, then open the lid to find additional instructions on the box. Remove the top styrofoam containing the stand, then remove the lid. From there, you’ll be presented with the TV and a cardboard screen protector. Remove the cardboard, and carefully lift the TV out of the bottom styrofoam protector. Attaching the legs is a simple process which you can find in the instruction manual. Gently lay the TV on its back, face-up. then using a philips screwdriver, screw in the legs to the bottom area of the TV. Then clip the stand cover to the legs. Once that’s done, you can set it up on your furniture. ??? SETUP: The software setup process for this Google TV is pretty straightforward. There is an option to use it as a Basic TV if you have no intention of using the integrated smart TV features, or you can set it up with your Google account. I set it up with smart features through the Google Home app via QR code, but there’s also the ability to set it up using the TV remote. I skipped some of the Hisense TV features, which may have resulted in a couple network errors on the main dashboard of the Google TV home page. Interestingly, the dashboard said that I wasn’t connected to the internet, but opening apps proved otherwise. Not sure if this is a Google TV bug or Hisense bug, but even upon restart, the same error message was present. One notable thing is that the remote supports both IR and bluetooth. If you want to use the Google Voice Assistant, you’ll need to pair the remote by holding the Home and Back button for several seconds, since out of the box Bluetooth isn’t paired. ?? BUILD: The build of the TV isn’t anything noteworthy, but that isn’t a bad thing. It’s largely plastic, has thin bezels, and the build as a whole is relatively thin—so wall-mounting won’t yield an eyesore. It weighs around 42.5 lbs, which makes finding a compatible wall-mount an easy endeavor. The Hisense 65U7N is equipped with 2x HDMI 2.1 ports supporting up to 4K@144Hz, and another 2x HDMI 2.0 ports supporting 4K@60Hz. It also supports eARC for a soundbar, optical audio, a 3.5mm output, coax for a TV antenna, and ethernet. Also onboard is WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 The remote has simple controls and is easy to read, especially thanks to the backlighting across the buttons. So even in the dark, you should have no problem finding the right button. ?? DISPLAY: The 65U7N uses a 65” 3840x2160 Mini-LED display that can achieve up to 144Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 1500 nits. It also sports full-array local dimming with 384 dimming zones. In my testing, content looks sharp, and contrast is very good, nearing OLED-like performance thanks to the full-array local dimming. HDR content has deep blacks while simultaneously being able to represent bright content without light blooming. At one point, the 65U7N did exhibit an anomaly with some of the dimming zones appearing darker than others, and it persisted until a factory reset was performed. It hasn’t appeared again since resetting, and Hisense support agreed it was unexpected behavior and were willing to replace it. One downside of this display is that it uses a VA (Vertical Alignment) panel which exhibits more color shifting at wider viewing angles compared to IPS or OLED panels. As a result, black will be more accurately represented at the center angle, but it will appear a bit more gray as you deviate off-axis. It’s not as abhorrent as a TN panel, but if your seating arrangement yields wider viewing angles, I think this is one area that could be a serious deal-breaker for some folks. Colors otherwise look vibrant thanks to the Quantum Dot Color, and there are a number of different picture presets in addition to granular controls should you want to calibrate to your personal preferences. Hisense is known in recent years for achieving strong HDR performance on their Mini LED series, but to see it in person is a different story. As someone who normally uses OLED, I was quite impressed with the brightness, contrast and color performance in HDR content. I also noticed in the picture settings that there is a Motion Clarity feature that describes Black Frame Insertion—a more common practice on higher-end 120Hz TVs which inserts a black frame between each frame. Since the display runs at 120Hz natively, this means 60Hz inputs can have reduced motion blur or motion smoothing by inserting a black frame between each frame instead of showing 1 frame for twice as long or using frame interpolation. This feature is especially great for gaming, but it does reduce the overall peak brightness. In my gaming tests, input latency was very low, Dolby Vision activated on an Xbox Series X without issue, and the high refresh rate was detected without issue. And while an Xbox Series console or PlayStation 5 can yield 4k@120Hz, a gaming PC with graphics supporting HDMI 2.1 should be able to stretch a bit further for 4K@144Hz. ?? AUDIO: The integrated audio on the 65U7N is of average quality. The midrange frequencies are clear with dialog being clearly represented, but if you like to use your TV for music or cinematics, you’ll find that the bass response could be better. At minimum, you’re still better off with a decent soundbar and subwoofer with this TV for a fuller audio experience, but for casual TV programming, I might be much less picky. But I appreciate that it supports eARC over HDMI, so connecting a soundbar was a seamless experience. ?? SOFTWARE: Google TV is a decent TV operating system, and I’m glad to see it here compared to some of the alternatives. If you use the Basic Mode, you’ll have limited apps out of the box including Netflix, Amazon Prime and Disney+, but if you sign in with your Google account, you can download additional favorite streaming platforms like Apple TV+. You also have the ability to use Google Cast and Apple AirPlay, which I like to see, since I frequently use both. In terms of software performance, multitasking can yield a few hiccups here and there while navigating menus and such, but I never experienced issues with video stutter or crashing. But as with any TV’s integrated operating system, your mileage may vary. ?? CONCLUSION: As someone who pays attention to advancements in display technology as well as clearance and sales pricing, I think the starting asking price isn’t particularly competitive for the Hisense 65U7N. There are previous generation OLED TV’s that I would personally rather have which can be obtained closer to this launch MSRP. While the 65U7N may be able to reach higher peak brightness compared to some of those OLED TVs, the viewing angles will yield better color uniformity on those OLED TVs, and they shouldn’t exhibit strange local dimming behaviors that I experienced out-of-the-box with this Hisense TV. But make no mistake—Hisense TV’s frequently go on sale well-below their MSRP. If you aren’t concerned about the color shifting at wider viewing angles, those discounts could make this 65” TV a very compelling option. But at its launch price, I feel this TV didn’t quite knock it out of the park. But as that price comes down, I do think the value proposition will make more sense for the right person.

Easy to setup and perfect for streaming!
This TV’s 4K picture quality looks great. Our couch is about 10’ from the TV and it looks crisp and crystal clear. Nice fluid motion on high definition streaming and 4K UHD content. Multiple picture mode options for setting screen preferences like Dolby Vision IQ (when streaming at that quality), Vivid, PC/Game, Theater Day and Night, Sports, etc. Colors are vibrant and pop. The eARC works perfectly with our (Sonos) Dolby Atmos sound system. Setup was very fast and easy. It walks you through it under 10 mins. We have 4 streaming services and all of them were easy to login, setup, and then access right from the TV on home screen. The fast on feature and Google integration to simply tell Google to “Turn the TV” on is great. Google integration works well – for example I tested saying “Watch Yellowstone” and it found the show and that I had it available on Peacock and took me right to it. Pretty impressive. The remote is very intuitive and also controlled our Apple TV out of the box. Airplay works great as part of the TV to stream or mirror from your phone or tablet. To be honest, I’m not sure we even need the AppleTV anymore as this handles all the streaming services and mirror easily without it. The stand was straightforward to setup (just 4 screws) and even with the size of the TV it is stable, however it’s not quite tall enough to be above the soundbar in our situation. Our soundbar blocks the bottom 1 inch of the TV because we have the TV on a stand that is taller than our viewing height from the couch. If we had the TV lower this probably wouldn’t be an issue, so just something to consider based on your TV stand height. We are just going to mount the TV on the wall to raise it above the soundbar. Note that the stand is included, but a wall mount isn’t.

144 gaming tv
Solid gaming performance for PC and PlayStation 5. Colors look great and sound is solid. The arc port doesn't take up the 144 gaming HDMI ports either like other brands.

Very impressed with Hisense Mini-LED
I was looking to upgrade my Samsung LED that was a few years old. I did my research and Hisense Mini-LED TV reviews were very favorable and the TV was priced very well. I was amazed with the picture quality and sound! I definitely did not need a sound bar. I really love watching sports on this TV. The colors are accurate and really pop. The TV is VERY bright which is great in my sunny family room. I can't wait to try gaming on this TV and the 144hz panel.

Awesome Features and Great Value
TL;DR Excellent Picture Quality Great feature set for value Sound Quality Good for built-in speakers but keep your soundbar if already using one Android TV OS on version 12, when 13 is available 19GB of Storage for Apps and Content Excellent packing saved the screen from delivery company Always appreciated MIC OFF/ON physical switch Unboxing was fairly simply by just removing the plastic straps the “cover” slides straight up. Like most unboxing of TV’s it leaves the other components at the top of the box, so if you don’t have long arms (for a 65” sized box) just open the top of the box, its much easier. I have to give props to the R&D team on packaging care. I’m sure these TV’s get tossed around pretty good. This TV was delivered by a company called Seko and it had some nice gouges and holes in the box. However, the inside packing material saved the screen from certain death. This is my 3rd Hisense TV I have personally owned, recommended a few budget versions before, but this is the second of the top end models. The 65U7N is replacing the once premiere 65H9G. Hisense definitely has some more premium models above the U7N series. From a cost perspective the U7N is a lateral move in pricing, but thankfully the feature set has increased and so the U7N is definitely a better TV. OLED is definitely the best for inky blacks, but I have been pleased with the HDR quality of U7N. I am also glad to see Hisense didn’t skimp on the storage. I don’t know exactly how much was available before initial setup as those options were not available yet. Under Settings > System > Storage it shows 19GB total and 16 GB available with 2.7GB being from Apps. Way better than the 4GB total of my H9G. Software The TV is running Android TV OS 12 with Security Patch from Dec 5, 2023.The Kernel version is Feb 3, 2024. Android TV OS 12 was released on Nov 30, 2021; Version 13 was on Dec 2, 2022. Not sure of the decision for Hisense to not have the latest OS, but it at least has the most current updates from Google for the platform. There were no updates out-of-the-box that I was alerted to and a manual check showed everything to be the most recent as stated by Google’s Support pages; once I was able to get to that screen. Unboxing to power-on took about 7 minutes. Setup took about 10 minutes, then comes signing in to your apps. So all in about 20-25 minutes before you're watching any content. Smart Features I don’t want to talk to much about Android TV (previously Google TV) as I feel this comes down to preference. My preference is that of ROKU platform as it is simple, clean, and unobtrusive. However, I only prefer Roku as a standalone device/platform. I wish TV’s were not “Smart” as those platform wars are better left to standalone devices, however, I do like how Android TV gives the option to setup as Basic TV (if it were Roku that option is not available) at unboxing which will skip the account sign-in, Wi-Fi login, etc and make it a dumb TV. I was not impressed with the Google TV platform on the 65H9G or with the Chromecast w/ Google TV (horrible name) device as it was just too slow and performance lagged and definitely didn’t age well. On initial use I found the U7N to be equally slow and lag in performance, but with use it seems to have sped up when jumping through the on screen menus, especially on the App/Home Screen. I did choose to setup as an as Google TV (not sure why its not called an Android TV since the OS is), as I wanted to see if the features are any better/different. I have been using the Roku 4K Ultra for a few years now and have Roku’s on all of my other TV’s, but for now I think I will keep using the Android TV platform to continue testing. Sound Quality This was definitely better than expected with the 20W speakers and built-in 20W woofer. It’s by no means audio bliss, but if you are primarily a sports and news watcher they are more than adequate. The mids are definitely missing and audio can sound a “tinny” depending on the content, but a quick switch of the settings and it can sound pretty good. There is an auto-content feature that will match the sound setting to the content, but I did not find it very accurate. My normal audio setup is via HDMI-Arc a Vizio 5.1.2 setup so I didn’t last but a day and half using the built-in speakers. The marketing, however, is a little ambitious “get a 2.1 Surround Sound experience without any additional equipment”, key word being “experience”, of which it won’t be a good one. At 40 watt total output, don’t expect this to be better than a traditional 2.1 soundbar and subwoofer setup. Picture Quality This is not a massive upgrade from the 65H9G in most areas so I wasn’t expecting too much improvement over an only 4 year old TV. I think where the U7N is better is mostly because Hisense got better overall. I always turn-off all the features for picture quality or at least to low. I left these on at first this time. For 4K HDR streaming content it doesn’t really suit my viewing preferences. But in 1080p SDR content like with Tron: Legacy it can definitely upscale the content to make it look really good. The film loses the original grittiness that makes it feel like a movie and not real life, but black picture quality definitely increases. Of course any type of cartoon or content with minimal dark scenes looks fantastic. Definitely going to take some time to dial it in to my liking. I have not tested any 4K content via Blu-Ray yet to see how it really handles this content, but based on the streaming capabilities, I know it will look even better. Reflections are going to be highly dependent on your positioning in relation to windows, but it does handle them well. The screen is not a high-gloss, but it is not a full matte either. One feature I have on a different TV brand that is made possible by the Full-Array Local Dimming and many zones, is when viewing 21:9 (letterboxed) content the black bar areas of the screen are turned off. This is great as it limits light bleed and really makes the content pop. This is pretty much only in movies that use that aspect ratio. I don’t know if Hisense is doing something similar, but I could definitely tell that these areas are much darker than on the H9G the U7N is replacing so it helps the content to pop even more. Gaming I am seriously interested in getting to test this out with the native 144hz panel, but it's finals week in my household and trying to help with the distractions so studying is achieved. The weekend is coming soon! Ports Port location is a design upgrade I am happy about as all of the ports you are most likely to use are now located on one side, instead of split between side and back. There are two 4K60 ports and two 4K144 ports. HDMI-ARC is Port 1 4K60. There is an A/V (composite) all-in-one so if you have an older device like a VCR or Wii for nostalgia you will need to pickup an adapter; I am happy they included this legacy port as we do still like to watch our old home videos from VCR (one day I’ll get around to digitizing them!). A USB 1amp, headphone port, and Coax/Serial connector finish the side and on the back is a LAN, Digital Audio Out, and a USB 0.5amp. Power Input is located on the opposite side (right). Voice Features While I do like Smart home features like plugs and switches, I don’t like Smart Indoor Camera/Audio devices, so this feature is not turned on. The setup is similar to setting up an Android phone and assistant features can be setup or skipped. One area that I love about Hisense is the physical switch located on the bottom of the tv that turns the mic off/on so there is no wondering if it is really listening or not. Out-of-the-box the switch is ON (right), turning OFF, slide the position left. This is also covered in the Quick Setup Guide. The Mic light then switches from white (ON) to amber (OFF). To me these are the most important areas to speak on. I’m sure if you are coming from a tv set that is 5 years or more older and depending on the quality it was at the time of purchase, your impressions will be more enthusiastic than mine. I wasn’t expecting a huge jump in performance, but from what I have seen so far I am impressed so definitely worth it. Definitely lots of value for the money with this set. OLED is the ultimate picture quality, but from family members' homes that have them, they are the worst in high ambient light rooms and the picture quality is really lost on streaming service content that lowers the bitrate of the original content. The only way to get the best quality is via 4K Blu-Ray or full source files from a local server and a typical movie is going to need between 50GB-75GB of storage space. You can chase the rainbow on specs, but bare minimum is going to be high nits for bright rooms, Full-Array Local Dimming with a lot of zones, and panel refresh rate. Then you just have to pick your size. 65” for me is the new 55”, doesn’t feel gargantuan in my living room can sit close enough without getting a sunburn, and can sit far enough away to comfortably still see the content if you have a lot of guests over. The 65U7N definitely hits all the right specs and delivers.

Hisense ups the game!
I purchased the 2023 U7 for my living room so I will be comparing this 2024 model to that one. first off, it looks almost identical except for the new stand and the awesome looking remote! Set up was a breeze and I was updating in about 10 minutes. WIFI6e is now on board and this thing is quick! For a TV, I am used to never being able to get over 10Mbps upload or download and on the rare occasion, up to 100 Mbps download. I was able to test on fast.com and pulled 370 Mbps down and 37 up, pretty impressive. Picture quality is amazing! Sharpness seems better and blooming is almost non existent. I see it barely around the CC words at the bottom when streaming. Streaming is fast, no buffering, colors and sound are on point! Almost no delay or stuttering when navigating through menus. Gaming, which is what I wanted to test, is almost as good as my OLED. I am using the #4 HDMI port and running my series X on 4k/120hz with high local dimming and medium HDR setting, and I don't feel like this hurts me at all. This tv is fast, smooth and responsive and if I didn't already have a TV for gaming, this would immediately be hooked up in the game room! I am super impressed with this tv and the quality! Now, this was the second unit I received, the first had a shipping issue and Hisense was super responsive and actually had the second unit here in under 2 days! Great customer service! Nice TV and the price is hard to beat! Great job!!

Under the radar
I bought this TV as a replacement and decided to spend a little more than the last TV. After a lot of research, I decided on the the U7K despite being skeptical of the Hisense brand. I tried looking for the U7K knowing the U7N replaced it but couldn't find any. This was well worth the money and way better than I expected. Reviews say the viewing angle is pretty narrow but I didn't find that to be an issue at all. The sound is absolutely amazing for base TV speakers thanks to the included rear-mounted subwoofer. The colors and the refresh rate (an amazing 144hz with 4k) are a noticeable upgrade from our last TV. The UI being a Google TV is super easy to set up and use and the hands free is great when your kids hide the remote which is another great feature. It's elegant, sturdy, beautiful, and back lit which is great for night time viewing. There are so many great things to say about this TV
