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.
Always look forward to your reviews!
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!
a95l?
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.
FILM MAKER kills brightness and I use theater night.
Researched and found the u7k last week. Bought and am so happy with it. Definitely the best tv I’ve ever had
Congrats. We got a lower end model Vizio recently, its our needs fine.
Can you turn off the motion blur mode for movies? Does it has filmmakers mode?
@@RizHail yes and yes
Same we just bought the 65inch the other day. OMG I love it. We had a 55inch 7 8 year old Insignia Roku TV and the Hisense blew me away.
Can you set up like fireplace background playing?
Bought this TV 2 weeks ago and I love it, thanks for the review!
Caleb: Thanks for this great review. It was the convincing factor in my recent TV purchase of a 65" U7K. I could not be happier!
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.
Great review as usual. This continues to be my go to TV review channel, clear and easy to understand info to help making purchasing decisions.
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
I haven’t even been in the market for a new TV for a couple years but I still enjoy all your content. Keep up the great work Caleb.
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.
Yay, finally! I always look forward to your reviews. They are as in depth as certain other respected sites but with more of the human element. Hope you had a great vacation. :)
I have watched you for a while. I used your advice and bought the Samsung QN90C and Soundbar 990C. It will arrive this week.
You are easy to listen to, and your reviews are solid. Thanks
Wow! Thanks for the kind feedback. I do appreciate it! And thanks for watching!
I bought this TV a few months ago. The salesman recommended it. Thanks for reviewing it. So glad I bought this TV. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Perfect timing been watching videos on your channel lately trying to find a good TV not to expensive and it looks like i found it with your help thank you
I bought a Hisense two years ago based on your review. Great advice. Intrigued by this model now. Thanks.
You're content and professionalism is unparalleled among consumer electronics reviewers. Thanks for doing such a great job!
Eyeing this TV for a while now. Definitely saving for this one
You are my go to for any TV Audio you are absolutely the best 100% on all your recommendations I have bought all my current TV from your recommendations 😀 thank you so much amd congrats on new location looks amazing!!!
Such a detailed review, made the decision and purchased a 75" version thanks to you. Keep up the great work!
Lovely video. Thanks for the content again.
Thanks Caleb, I was looking to upgrade my 2 50 inch old Samsung and this sounds like exactly what I need. Appreciate your work
I’ll be looking for this set. Thanks for the great reviews
This video has completely convinced me that this is the TV for me. I will be buying at Black Friday so I know I won't miss any kind of deal if I buy in the next three weeks
Hey how much did you save on BF on this one ? What was price before and on BF
I almost pulled the trigger on a TCL last week. Glad I waited to see this review.
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!
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!
I've been waiting for this video thanks! Just in time for Black Friday...
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!
Best buy return window sucks but they do extend it till January 2024 if you buy something after Oct.15, 2023 for the holidays.
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.
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.
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.
How does your U7K handle sports? Great colors?
@paulcarlin5181 he said the motion handling is not that great
Great review as always. You've really got me rethinking my options now.
Been waiting for this review to come out!
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 just bought this tv a week or so ago around Amazon’s Prime Days. I had debated over several similarly priced tvs, but at the end of the day this just seemed like the better option, and I’ve really been enjoying the hell out of it so far.
I'm glad you like it, but it wasn't really part of the Amazon Prime Day thing, despite Amazon's claim. Amazon's price on it was exactly the same before and after that period. I wish they wouldn't lie like that. It's dishonest.
That’s great. What did you pay for it?
@@brendene2780 i was wondering if anyone was gonna comment after the black friday deal hit $480 for the 55in is insane!!!
You think it's better than the 65 inch Samsung QLED
Well I see it’s definitely cheaper now on Black Friday at Amazon than I paid for it.
I have no idea. I’m definitely not a tv expert by any means, and I got the 55”, but it suits my purposes fine.
One of the best general A/V review channels on YT, period!
Love your descriptions. Very very helpful thank you.
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?
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. 😁
I purchased this TV 2 weeks ago. And I have to say, it is the best television that I've had to date, it's spectacular. It far exceeded my expectations and 10 folds.😊
I'm getting one next week
How does it play movies from a blu ray player?

Great stuff as always. Been loving this channel for a while now. Keep it up!
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.
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🤘
Man I still remember that killer 7 inch tablet they released somewhere around early 2010s. Never heard of them and instantly they won me over.
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.
Thank you for reviewing this TV. I order the U7K. And this gives me confidence that I chose wisely.
I really like your videos and they help me decide what to buy and look for, thank you so much for your hard work.
It would be really good if u guys can cover EU version of u7h/k models as well. Keep it up.
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.
Thanks for the excellent content, Caleb. Just purchased a 75 inch U7K based on your review. Took advantage of the Boxing Week price cut before the sale prices expired.
First time catching your reviews and I was super impressed. I will be buying on your recommendation, will update my findings.
These went in sale at Costco today. I grabbed two, thanks in large part to your review. I wanted to go oled, but thought I just might not be enough of a nit nerd (or one at all) to really know or appreciate the difference.
Thank you.
I was just at Costco and they don't carry it at my location how much did you pay if you don't mind me asking
@paulbiehl curious what the sale price at Costco was?
I have the U8G from a couple of years ago and I'm super happy with it. I'm glad that Hisense keeps improving and keeping costs down.
I also have the U8G and love it for everything
They keep costs down because YOU'RE the product.
They SELL YOUR DATA
Great information as usual Caleb!
Thank you, this is the video I needed.
I bought the 85 inch and I am extremely pleased with TV screen and HDR content...only thing I didn't like in this TV was the speakers...the bass is not punchy , thats why I will suggest an external speakers...else its extremely value for money compare to any other brands for 85 inch TV.
It's great to hear that you're overall pleased with your new 85-inch TV. The screen quality and HDR content sound impressive, and it's understandable that you might want to upgrade the speakers for a more immersive audio experience. There are many great external speakers on the market, so you should be able to find one that fits your needs and budget
You actually expected punchy bass from a Television? 🤔

Thank you Caleb, for your tv reviews. I find them professional and perfectly balanced. Your natural and friendly behavour earns the trust of the people.
I bought u7kq due to your review. The tv is great. The Best tv for this price. Excellent picture and sound.
Thank you so much to you and your team. I have also sent link to some friends.
You guys are really doing a great job.
Great reviews as usual! Keep up the good work
📺👍💙 Got a 75' U7K from Costco based on your recommendation. It is stellar, I'm blown away (I'm an armchair nit nerd) it's incredible. I can confirm the off axis viewing angle with the IPS display is great on the 75. Couldn't be happier, thanks for the recommendation!
Did you notice any more haloing like he mentioned, or any other drops in performance compared to the 55” and 65”?
No, it's really been fantastic so far. @@youngspike8442
Is it the u75k?
@droop what was the sale price for the 75 at Costco?
This was awesome! Would love to see a review of the u6k and compare its performance to its two big brothers. Hisense has been killing it
Yeah also mini led, but cheaper. May not need the extra brightness or 144hz. U6k sounds like a winner. But id like to hear from him as well.
The Hisense U6K is a great budget-friendly TV that offers excellent picture quality and a wide range of features. It has a 4K UHD resolution, a Quantum Dot LED display, and Dolby Vision HDR support. It also has a built-in Google TV operating system, which gives you access to a wide range of apps and streaming services.
Always good to see your videos, even if I'm not looking for a tv at this time, I still like to see the latest tech on offer. This tv looks very good value for the price.
Thanks Caleb...its on my Christmas wishlist...
Bought this tv about a month ago. Was waiting to hear the official review to see what you thought about it. Was debating between u8k and u7k but price for 65 inches I thought was a great value and it had all the features I wanted so I thought I would save some money. I love this tv, glad to see I spent wisely.
Have you got chromecast ? Or you need to buy one ?
@@toumyreI do not have a chromecast and dont think I need to buy one. I am able to use all the streaming apps with the google tv interface with all the bells and whistles such as dolby vision, surround sound, etc. Additionally I am able to stream videos from my phone to the tv as needed for home videos.
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)
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.
Thanks for this review as I'm looking right now.
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!
My brother was looking for his first tv moving in his new place and had no idea what to get. This TV in 65" was $728 on Amazon and I explained how the options for the money and size you can't go wrong and how hisense has been getting better and better every year. When he got it and we set it up I was very surprised how great the picture quality was just on a 4k video on RUclips in HDR. For the price you can't beat it.
Thanks for the video. Thinking about buy one.
Thanks for this review-so many other reviews leave me more confused about what to buy than when I started.
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.
This was the TV I was considering but I had a chance to get a Sony a80k for 500 and couldn't let that opportunity slide.
Thank you Sir, Sitting here in Bali and I'll be buying this Tv as it's available here and this review convinced me!
Your channel is unbelievable, outstanding work
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.
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
@@garrettstrutz7421I'd look at LG as well. Much better quality than Samsung.
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
I was going to grab a Q7 but I'll get this instead. Thanks 'Trends'🎉
Your videos are informative and very well made.
I bought it 4 days ago. Your review helps reassure me. I think it's awesome so far myself
Yeah I picked this up this weekend and can't see myself throwing money away on an overpriced Samsung or LG, or or even a Sony ever again. I love this TV and it was no where near as expensive as the competitors and you get so much for the money you pay, I highly recommend this TV.
My only complaint they don’t last as long, but for price you can just get another one
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.
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.
Thanks ! I was looking at Hisense for a while and I think this would be the next TV for living room.
Great review, thank you for always doing a fantastic job.
Bought the 85 inch on Amazon for $1499. Will be on my doorstep on the 24th!
Did you receive the TV, how was it?
@@trendyprojectors4743 it probably arrived with a cracked screen like most large TV's over 55inches
Thanks Caleb, one quick question: when it comes to dark scenes in hdr, is there a significant difference between the U8K and the U7K?
Yes, the u7 has 500+ dimming zones while the u8 has 1000
Great review. The most though and informative coverage I've ever seen. Thank you
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
Excellent video! Caleb always seems to do a good review!
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.
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.
Thanks for comparing to U8k and Q7 and QM8. Definitely like the price. Would rather get the 65 inch for less than 55 inch version of u8k.
I used that logic in buying the 75 inch U7k vs the 65 inch U8k for 899. I just don't think the U8k 75 inch is 400 bucks better than the U7k 75 inch.
Love the reviews! Great content.
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.
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.
Does it work with PS5 @120hz ?
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?
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.
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.
Great review as always and this TV certainly gets to go in the mix for purchase
Great review as always! Thanks
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! 🙏🏾
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
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.
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.
Good vid & nice cap! 🧢 thanks for all the work, bought my TV because of your recommendations a while ago, never regretted it! keep going
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.
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.
@@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.
go algorithm go!
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.
Thank you SO much for this review. I'm looking for just this type of TV.
Great picture for the best price!
I think that a direct head-to-head versus the Sony X90L would be an interesting comparison here.
I was just thinking the same thing!
Already been done.
X90L is not a valid comparison. Its far superior.
@@huizhou5873 You're right, they're not the same price--not exactly. But, broadly, they're in the same category.
@@steveludwig4200Totally agree. It's not even close when it comes to accuracy. But not everyone cares.
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...
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?
Comment for the algorithm. Love this channel and the eeviews, always a great resource when looking into TV tech.
Lol not gonna lie, you're great at this. I've legit watched about 4 hours of your reviews trying to decide the best TV for my buck the last 2 days. Keep up the great work
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!
