Have had this TV for about 2 weeks now, and have been streaming SDR content, HDR movies, 4K Blurays, and gaming of all refresh rates. I'm no master, but this TV is a behemoth that I Cannot believe cost us only $600 USD. Go get this bad boy if you need a new one. 55" is stunning
I have it too, but I’ve noticed that Dolby Vision/Atmos doesn’t work on the Max native Google TV app. As someone that uses HBO a lot, I’m pretty disappointed. Are you aware of this? Am I missing something? I suppose I can use some streaming stick that supports it, but as my secondary TV, I didn’t want to start plugging stuff into it. I just wanted to be satisfied with the TV apps it came with.
@@DR-xm9ckit's because of a law in Korea. TVs aren't allowed to have all HDR methods in 1 model. It some type of stupid law made to keep TV companies competitive
I prefer HDR10 over DV for the same reason you prefer to have dynamic tone mapping on: The extra pop in HDR is worth the inaccuracy in my opinion as I'm a TV enthusiast not a color grader.
Just order the 85 QM8. I'm very excited. I've watched so many reviews that I couldn't wait any longer, lol. TCL knocked it out of the park this year, and the price is very reasonable.
There's only a few reviews, I'm waiting for more reviews because I'm still torn between the qm8, qn90b from last year and the hisense u8k when that comes out.
@dshawnspjute6305 There have been several reviewers. I've also watched all of the long-form reviews with Fomo & Brian. It was good enough for me to choose over the Q90B, and it was good enough for me not to wait on the U8K. I hope that you enjoy whichever one you decide on.
Very comprehensive review Fomo, I can only imagine how good the U8K will be, the U7K is excellent, of course assuming Hisense have fixed gaming this time with no half resolution nonsense.
I believe that Hisense will fix the half resolution issue. Eventually!? So long as complain about the issue. Hisense will fix issue out of the box (hopefully), or through future update. Hisense wants to break into the top 3 TV brand. So they will at least try to fix the issue.
@Vladzi0 basically last year's tv's only had 1080p 120hz. This year they fixed it to be able to do 4k 120hz on last year's tv's. The tv's from this year have 4k 120hz right away, and now can do 1080p 240hz.
Looking forward to your U8K video. That will most likely be my next TV. Quick question for this video though, why was the U8H brightness set to 50 and the other two were 100. 100 should be the correct HDR settings for the U8H as well?
I could listen to your reviews all day. Looking forward to my 85 QM8 on Saturday, though my eyes are turning to the 98" one now since I'm coming from a 100" projector. 👀
As a note, Hisense doesn’t enable peak performance out of the two high-end HDMI 2.1 ports right out of the box. You do need to go through the settings and enable maximum bandwidth on those in order to get high resolution and high framerate

I just setup my 65" U7K and was looking for easy to understand tweaks for the best picture, as it us used 90% of the time for streaming content. This is that video, other presenters could learn from your methodology of explaining things.
Just picked up a u7k over the weekend. The out of box brightness of this set is ridiculous, and it definitely kept getting brighter the first few days of use. My living room is bright (8x direct wire LED T8 bulbs in 2600 cu3). Yet this thing was giving me and my wife eye strain. I popped in an old DVD of calibration test patterns. In filmmaker mode, color and contrast only needed single digit adjustments, but brightness needed to be adjusted from 80 to 28.
Not happy with black bar performance especially on apps like Netflix in Dolby vision content. Their blackbars drives me crazy like fomo said. And motion super questionable specially for sports
My decision to go with U7K is the upscaling. TCL is one of the worst in that part and Hisense has a good review in upscaling also pre calibration in Hisense is one of the best.
But then you say that TCL Minileds also have worse upscaling, because I have in mind to buy TCL C805(C755) because there is no better TV available in the 50" or 43" size for a good price. They are probably the European Hisense U7KQ and the panel itself is probably ADS IPS and not VA, but the operating system is Vidaa U7 and not Google TV.
I also saw that it is said that Hisense has better upscaling and TCL better image movement. I now also notice that the TCL C805 doesn't handle the image so well with poorer image playback, but such scenes are hardly watched at all. Sony is still the god among TVs as far as upscaling is concerned, and anyone who wants a TV that will process a bad picture well should buy a Sony TV.

@@ramanjotsingh2172 I've had it for about a month now and I love it. Hardly any blooming. Love the gaming features. You won't find a better tv for the price. My brother went with the TCL QM8 and the its just as good just a little brighter.
U8H 65” Best Buy open box excellent is like 630-650. Best budget tv under say 900, U8k 65 is 1100$ new and 1k open box, trying to decide if I wanna upgrade from my H9G that I’ve been so happy w for 3 ish years, for the U8h, as the u8k is out of my budget.
Yeah man do the U8H so much cheaper , u can use that money for like 3-4 yr Tv service fee ! Most tv breaks down aft 3-4 yrs like cars . Omg my H9G went to d bdr . It was d best thing bought during Covid . Made Covid lock down so much better 😅😊 Ps I bought my U8G 65” for $1400 USD lol 😅 (Canadian Price Match’s EU price ! Only USA 🇺🇸 has cheapest premiumHisense ,😮 cuz from Mexico they just drive cross boarder ) $650 is 😮So cheap !!! 😮 Negotiate a Cheaper 4 yr package tho! They don’t give u discount . But for clearance TV they sometimes can give u 4-5 yr service plan for 2-3 yr plan price :):) Insurance more important.
Thank you for the insightful review. I hope that you conduct a similar review for the Hisense 85UX vs the Sony X95L. I did have one question regarding the commentary starting around 19:10 (the city nightscape). The thing that struck me was not the brightness differences of the foreground tower, but how on the QM8 the back portion of the city was significantly dimmer than either of the two other sets. Also, given your observations on how quickly the Hisense image processing has improved this year, perhaps that bodes well for the about-to-ship 85UX. When you test that model I would appreciate your commenting the fact that it might not have a true 10-bit panel. Thanks again.
❤Love it. Great review! I am Backing FOMO UP!🎉🎉I was NOT Hisense fan. Bought Hisense from FOMO suggestion. His videos/suggestions are Spot on. :) Ppl who are Confused “how is this possible” such tv! I was 1 of them, those TV are all $2500-3000 level visuals in person. Just for 65”.
I have the 55" U7K and it has that issue with The Crown with the red smear or blur on the ladies head as she walks, it's distracting imo; Has Hisense fixed this on newer TV's? Like the u7n or u8n?
U are GREAT TV reviewer . I love the vidoes. Def helps ppl to choose. Just side thing. I do NOT like --Film Maker MODE, stilll it makes tV looks ridiculous looking . Really H*te it. Lol cant help it tho. Cuz it does makes Normal tv watching Dull Is that possible if u do a Comprarasing using --Film maker mode side by side. --Standard Mode side by side. 😅 So ppl who will NEVER use Film Maker mode like me. Will see its true beauty with bells n whistles. Thanks to your detailed professional videos. It had helped me getting my Hisenses. N my male friend got a Hisense earlier this year. He had been quite happy. Very good that TCL is catching up too. Tag team 🎉🎉🎉
I just bought the Hisense 55” class U7 series mini-LED 4K UHD QLED google tv 2024 and I’m trying to play 4K at 144hz or 120hz refresh rates game but it doesn’t seem to let me use these features. Despite having plugged the HDMi 2.1 on a the format that states clearly 144hz/ up to 240hz. Please could anyone help me ?
Recently bought the 75” U7K, I’ve encountered that raised black bars, do you think hisense will fix this issue? The TV is phenomenal by the way, I believe the 75” is passing the 1000 nits easily
@@Dhughe9 Hisense brightness is backlight … if you ain’t watching HDR you def shouldn’t have max brightness unless your in an extremely bright open room . Try turning it down to 60 70 %
I just got this TV. The biggest issue I have, at the moment, is that Dolby Vision won’t even work on the TVs own native Max app (via Google TV). I watch HBO quite a bit, and when I saw that Dolby Vision wasn’t kicking on while watching shows/movies that use it, I was pretty disappointed. Do you know anything about this? I have an LG OLED in the living room. Its native apps (and my Apple TV device) support HDR and Dolby Vision on all of the apps that use it, and it actually works. But the marriage of Google + Max + Hisense isn’t letting Dolby Vision/Atmos work via TV apps. Anyone?
I’m seeing quite a difference between U7H and U8H especially in the middle of the mountain range 9:13. Either way appreciate the break downs as always Fomo!
I just got this tv, on default settings I ran it on Google TV and was streaming NFL via Hulu app. It was so bad the colors were not usable, the whites seemed all blown out. I changed settings to warm 1 and that was a little better. I switched back to default and streamed via fire stick TV, this was better but the color and processing just seems very bad. I'm not sure if this is a defective unit or this is how the TV is? Any advice
Good afternoon! I choose TV 75". LG 75QNED916PA, LG 82UP81006LA, TCL 75C845 and Hisense 75U8HQ are now worth one dollar. Which one should I give preference to and why? Now I have an LG 65UF850V. Thanks!
Did you test its audio passthrough capabilities? Strangely, only a handful of eARC TVs will pass through all the possible HDMI audio formats, mostly Sony; thus far it appears all eARC TVs that support all the major HDR formats either limit LPCM to 2.0 channels (not 5.1 or 7.1) or block DTS bitstreams. I was hoping the 2023 Hisense models would end that silly limitation.
Thanks FOMO. I've been trying to find a decent 65" set for my brother in law. 95% of the usage will be 720p streamed content (TV shows, sports) via a Fire Stick or antenna. For a mid range TV, I was thinking the QM8, but the U7K is $200 less at $700 @BB. This looks to be a comparable option for less. For an OLED TV, I told him about the LG B3 for $1300. Thoughts?
Love the reviews!! I just purchased the 75U7K. But I don’t have the ability to enable Dynamic Tone Mapping. It keeps saying unavailable. I also do not see the Backlight setting. Is this due to a software update or is it based on the content? Just confused!
Okay the Backlight-setting , the Name has been changed to “ BRIGHTNESS 🔆 ” lol. The U8H “Brightness” (which is black level control) has been changed to --“Black level “ I think for consumers,,,,its tooo confusing especially like grandparents. It makes so much sense tho, because a LOT of ppl did NOT know from last 3 yrs in Hisense that “Brightness” was NOT for -total panel brightness lol. It got a lot of ppl -calling Hisene blooming etc (cuz they were touching the Front light that control Black level, but forget to turn down the backlight). I am sure Hisense have noticed it n changed it to like simple making it just -“Brightness”, then “Black level “. So no more confusion. 😊
If u just turn down Brightness level to like 60-80% depends day time or night time. Sunny room or black room with dim light, n turn down “black level” to -down to like -2 to -3 or so, (some guys like it very dramatic -5) it should be utter great. N on a -Standard MODE. Lol i can do it at back of my head i have 2 Hisense TVs lol. 😊
anywhere I can find recommended settings for the 75" U7K? It has the ADS Pro (IPS) Panel. I watch a lot of sports and I game, so peak motion handling is important. Great colors on this TV!
I purchased the 65u7k which fits really well in the space. 75 inch would not fit for sure. Upgrading from a LG plasma 1080p, this TV is amazing. Trying to educate myself. One thing I noticed while watching HDR content, the Dynamic tone mapping seems to be available on only some UHD HDR content. Trying to figure that out. I have not noticed to much blooming at all. I just watch Avatar "Disney Plus" way of the water which did allow me to turn on DTM. I am so impressed with the image, colors etc.. For 700 dollars, I am glad I purchased this tv over last years model u7h. Now lets see if it lasts for 6-7 years. thanks for the info. I have not calibrated this tv so if you do, lets know the settings..thanks
My reply is a little late, but just so you know, dynamic tone mapping wont be available when viewing dolby vision content, thats probably the reason why you dont have it available sometimes. Hdr10 content will allow access to dynamic tone mapping.
There is NO bad panel here. Any of these are BETTER Value than thoes QN85B or SONY X85L 85K etc. or LG QNED. If ur OLED fan get OLED. Stop mocking MINI LED. IF u like vibrant panels, get TCL/HISENSE. If u have extra money to throw, get QD OLED. If u do not want burn in, get MINI LED. It’s like truck vs SUV vs small coup vs electronic car. 🎉Each product has its market :) 😅🎉
Had a LG G2 upgraded from the C1 but the. my kids cracked the screen 😢 bought a 75 inch u7k as a replacement so just in case something happens I won’t lose too much money since I wanted the best 75 inch under 1k
For someone that already had the 7ug with post calibration done on it (mostly done for gaming) do you consider the u7k as a great replacement or it would be the same as u7g once post calibration will be done on the u7k?

U7H is not similar with US Spec...only this year Hisense stated all model - U6K,U7K are similar globally...I rather wait for TCL C845 and it's cheaper a bit...
U8h, absolutely . But if u want to size up get the Larger size. I have 2 Hisense. The first time when i bought U8 55” the biggest regret was “this tv so great, why didnt I buy a larger one”. Now i got a 65” i need a 75” for my new place. Lol. So get one that’s BIG within the budget.
Hello! I purchased a 65U7K Hisense google version late last year in 2023. The issue I'm having is when i stream MLB TV it's choppy, laggy and "broken up", it's unwatchable. It only happens in this app. I've cleared the cache, restarted the app, u istalled the app, changed all the settings from all off to all on and everything in between, tried sports mode, you name it, I've tried it, so I think. Any idea as to why all hulu, netflix, prime and peacock are perfect minus MLB] streaming a baseball game?
I've had the U7K (75 inch) for 5 months and I'm a bit disappointed. First of all, there's quite a bit of jutter on my tv. Another thing is that whenever I wanted to watch Thursday night football on Prime, I had to watch it on another tv because it's very choppy. I went to watch the Orioles game on the MLB app. and it was unwatchable...very choppy. The picture is clear, but the colors don't punch like my old TCL R655. I liked the picture quality from that tv better, but I had just the 55". If I could trade in the tv and pay more for a better tv, I would.

I've been using the 65inch Sony x900f as my main TV since 2019. I am genuinely excited to get 75 inch U8k when it releases. I know i'll be blown away.
Did you buy it? How's your experience?
@@ramanjotsingh2172 I've had it for about a month now and I love it. Hardly any blooming. Love the gaming features. You won't find a better tv for the price. My brother went with the TCL QM8 and the its just as good just a little brighter.
U8H 65” Best Buy open box excellent is like 630-650. Best budget tv under say 900, U8k 65 is 1100$ new and 1k open box, trying to decide if I wanna upgrade from my H9G that I’ve been so happy w for 3 ish years, for the U8h, as the u8k is out of my budget.
Yeah man do the U8H so much cheaper , u can use that money for like 3-4 yr Tv service fee ! Most tv breaks down aft 3-4 yrs like cars .
Omg my H9G went to d bdr . It was d best thing bought during Covid . Made Covid lock down so much better 😅😊
Ps I bought my U8G 65” for $1400 USD lol 😅 (Canadian Price Match’s EU price ! Only USA 🇺🇸 has cheapest premiumHisense ,😮 cuz from Mexico they just drive cross boarder ) $650 is 😮So cheap !!! 😮
Negotiate a Cheaper 4 yr package tho! They don’t give u discount . But for clearance TV they sometimes can give u 4-5 yr service plan for 2-3 yr plan price :):) Insurance more important.
The U8H is only $100 more on Amazon, So I pretty much know which one I'm getting, thanks for the review man!
In your example the U8H controlls blooming way much better than the QM8 !
Thank you for the insightful review. I hope that you conduct a similar review for the Hisense 85UX vs the Sony X95L. I did have one question regarding the commentary starting around 19:10 (the city nightscape). The thing that struck me was not the brightness differences of the foreground tower, but how on the QM8 the back portion of the city was significantly dimmer than either of the two other sets. Also, given your observations on how quickly the Hisense image processing has improved this year, perhaps that bodes well for the about-to-ship 85UX. When you test that model I would appreciate your commenting the fact that it might not have a true 10-bit panel. Thanks again.
I think the Hisnse 2023 is 16bit . I thought that was announced already?
I know their memory is 4GB vs previous 3GB, so 33% larger. I don’t remember what is for ULEDX lol.
@@birdtj82 16 bit refers to the processor, not the panel.
Yes I'm hoping for a review of the Hissène 85UX as well!
❤Love it. Great review! I am Backing FOMO UP!🎉🎉I was NOT Hisense fan. Bought Hisense from FOMO suggestion. His videos/suggestions are Spot on. :) Ppl who are Confused “how is this possible” such tv! I was 1 of them, those TV are all $2500-3000 level visuals in person. Just for 65”.
I take the U75K (costco) is the same TV as the U7K? Update , yes it is. The PlayStation 4 lists it as U7K even.
Appreciate the review and demo of the settings, like Dynamic Tone Mapping.
How’s the uniformity specifically DSE?, would have loved to see a 100% white screen and 50% gray screen.
I have the 55" U7K and it has that issue with The Crown with the red smear or blur on the ladies head as she walks, it's distracting imo; Has Hisense fixed this on newer TV's? Like the u7n or u8n?
Great video! Waiting on that QM8 review 🙏🏻
it will come after calibration tomorrow
U are GREAT TV reviewer . I love the vidoes. Def helps ppl to choose. Just side thing. I do NOT like --Film Maker MODE, stilll it makes tV looks ridiculous looking . Really H*te it. Lol cant help it tho. Cuz it does makes Normal tv watching Dull
Is that possible if u do a Comprarasing using
--Film maker mode side by side.
--Standard Mode side by side. 😅
So ppl who will NEVER use Film Maker mode like me. Will see its true beauty with bells n whistles.
Thanks to your detailed professional videos. It had helped me getting my Hisenses. N my male friend got a Hisense earlier this year. He had been quite happy.
Very good that TCL is catching up too. Tag team 🎉🎉🎉
that's why there's Dynamic mode! Also, on the SAmsung turning on ACTIVE tone mapping gives it an extra punch
I just bought the Hisense 55” class U7 series mini-LED 4K UHD QLED google tv 2024 and I’m trying to play 4K at 144hz or 120hz refresh rates game but it doesn’t seem to let me use these features. Despite having plugged the HDMi 2.1 on a the format that states clearly 144hz/ up to 240hz. Please could anyone help me ?
Recently bought the 75” U7K, I’ve encountered that raised black bars, do you think hisense will fix this issue? The TV is phenomenal by the way, I believe the 75” is passing the 1000 nits easily
Yeah noticed the same. Only solution is to lower brightness which I don’t wanna do. Hopefully a firmware update can fix this?
@@Dhughe9 Hisense brightness is backlight … if you ain’t watching HDR you def shouldn’t have max brightness unless your in an extremely bright open room . Try turning it down to 60 70 %
I just got this TV. The biggest issue I have, at the moment, is that Dolby Vision won’t even work on the TVs own native Max app (via Google TV). I watch HBO quite a bit, and when I saw that Dolby Vision wasn’t kicking on while watching shows/movies that use it, I was pretty disappointed.
Do you know anything about this? I have an LG OLED in the living room. Its native apps (and my Apple TV device) support HDR and Dolby Vision on all of the apps that use it, and it actually works.
But the marriage of Google + Max + Hisense isn’t letting Dolby Vision/Atmos work via TV apps.
Anyone?
Another great review!!! Thanks Mr. FOMO!
The best review vs the other 3 before. Qm8 still winner. 👍
I’m seeing quite a difference between U7H and U8H especially in the middle of the mountain range 9:13. Either way appreciate the break downs as always Fomo!
I just got this tv, on default settings I ran it on Google TV and was streaming NFL via Hulu app. It was so bad the colors were not usable, the whites seemed all blown out. I changed settings to warm 1 and that was a little better. I switched back to default and streamed via fire stick TV, this was better but the color and processing just seems very bad. I'm not sure if this is a defective unit or this is how the TV is? Any advice
Good afternoon! I choose TV 75". LG 75QNED916PA, LG 82UP81006LA, TCL 75C845 and Hisense 75U8HQ are now worth one dollar. Which one should I give preference to and why? Now I have an LG 65UF850V. Thanks!
Hola, puedes compartir la calibración del U7K? Por fa 🙏🏽
Good incisive review. Appreciate it.
Did you test its audio passthrough capabilities? Strangely, only a handful of eARC TVs will pass through all the possible HDMI audio formats, mostly Sony; thus far it appears all eARC TVs that support all the major HDR formats either limit LPCM to 2.0 channels (not 5.1 or 7.1) or block DTS bitstreams. I was hoping the 2023 Hisense models would end that silly limitation.
Thanks FOMO. I've been trying to find a decent 65" set for my brother in law. 95% of the usage will be 720p streamed content (TV shows, sports) via a Fire Stick or antenna. For a mid range TV, I was thinking the QM8, but the U7K is $200 less at $700 @BB. This looks to be a comparable option for less. For an OLED TV, I told him about the LG B3 for $1300. Thoughts?
What about gaming? Does it support 4K@120Hz and does VRR turn off local dimming?
It does have hmdi 2.1 so I'm guessing it does
144hz. Don't know about the local dimming
Love the reviews!! I just purchased the 75U7K. But I don’t have the ability to enable Dynamic Tone Mapping. It keeps saying unavailable. I also do not see the Backlight setting. Is this due to a software update or is it based on the content? Just confused!
Okay the Backlight-setting , the Name has been changed to “ BRIGHTNESS 🔆 ” lol.
The U8H “Brightness” (which is black level control) has been changed to --“Black level “
I think for consumers,,,,its tooo confusing especially like grandparents.
It makes so much sense tho, because a LOT of ppl did NOT know from last 3 yrs in Hisense that “Brightness” was NOT for -total panel brightness lol. It got a lot of ppl -calling Hisene blooming etc (cuz they were touching the Front light that control Black level, but forget to turn down the backlight).
I am sure Hisense have noticed it n changed it to like simple making it just -“Brightness”, then “Black level “.
So no more confusion. 😊
If u just turn down Brightness level to like 60-80% depends day time or night time. Sunny room or black room with dim light, n turn down “black level” to -down to like -2 to -3 or so, (some guys like it very dramatic -5) it should be utter great. N on a -Standard MODE.
Lol i can do it at back of my head i have 2 Hisense TVs lol. 😊
Will the U8K have The built-in subwoofer like the U8H?
ROFL I'll have to see about that, however, it's "woofer" is pretty effective and makes the U8H way better than the QN90B and QN95C
Right now, the Hisense 75” U7K is $899 at BB!
anywhere I can find recommended settings for the 75" U7K? It has the ADS Pro (IPS) Panel. I watch a lot of sports and I game, so peak motion handling is important. Great colors on this TV!
So what settings should I set to for SDR & HDR?
U8H has the best contrast, colors, brightness, and sharpness.
I just order a 85 inch u7k cannot wait to see it
do you happy with it?
@fotomats8651 it's nice no problem at all with it I wish I got the u8k tho just because it's new technology
I am Confused between the tcl q7 and the Hisense u7k . Pls recommend one out of the two
They only sells u7k in Singapore not the u8k. Should I still get the u7k in 2024?
Will u recommend to buy Hisense TV?
I purchased the 65u7k which fits really well in the space. 75 inch would not fit for sure. Upgrading from a LG plasma 1080p, this TV is amazing. Trying to educate myself. One thing I noticed while watching HDR content, the Dynamic tone mapping seems to be available on only some UHD HDR content. Trying to figure that out. I have not noticed to much blooming at all. I just watch Avatar "Disney Plus" way of the water which did allow me to turn on DTM. I am so impressed with the image, colors etc.. For 700 dollars, I am glad I purchased this tv over last years model u7h. Now lets see if it lasts for 6-7 years. thanks for the info. I have not calibrated this tv so if you do, lets know the settings..thanks
My reply is a little late, but just so you know, dynamic tone mapping wont be available when viewing dolby vision content, thats probably the reason why you dont have it available sometimes. Hdr10 content will allow access to dynamic tone mapping.
Is this U7K can watch 4K movies in 60hz or 60fps smoother frame same like Samsung or Sony so far? Thank.
There is NO bad panel here. Any of these are BETTER Value than thoes QN85B or SONY X85L 85K etc. or LG QNED. If ur OLED fan get OLED. Stop mocking MINI LED. IF u like vibrant panels, get TCL/HISENSE.
If u have extra money to throw, get QD OLED. If u do not want burn in, get MINI LED.
It’s like truck vs SUV vs small coup vs electronic car. 🎉Each product has its market :) 😅🎉
Is the 98“ U7K (technical) better than the other sizes?
Had a LG G2 upgraded from the C1 but the. my kids cracked the screen 😢 bought a 75 inch u7k as a replacement so just in case something happens I won’t lose too much money since I wanted the best 75 inch under 1k
For someone that already had the 7ug with post calibration done on it (mostly done for gaming) do you consider the u7k as a great replacement or it would be the same as u7g once post calibration will be done on the u7k?
why is it always the 65"? the 75 got a different panel, but no one test that?
no time - we choose the most popular sizes. FYI the 75" has the better panel so that's good for you!
Great review!
Q7 vs the u7k? Or wait for possible um8 Black Friday sale?
Is it normal for it to be slightly bent in the middle? Or is it a defect?
What's it like for watching sport?
Just got 65” for £799 in UK 🇬🇧
Amazon has this U7K on sale for prime day for $997. Don’t think it’s worth waiting for Black Friday? I don’t see this coming down much more
Ive had this tv and have had nothing but problems the vertical lines on the screen really stand out when gaming and watching tv shows or films and the VRR for the xbox series x is bad my screen keeps flickering and going in and out of colour... ive seen a fair few online reporting the same issues as me
U7K has a weird sepia tone to; can that be filtered out with settings? I presume a "cool" color gamut might fix it?
Hello, I'm looking in to this TV, I have LogitechZ906, that I currently use in DTS mode trough spdif, can you tell me if this TV can do this ?
Passtrough spdif Dts ? 5.1 ?
U6K would be the cheapest mini-LED TV in 2023. It's missing a lot of features of the U7K though.
true, but with so few dimming zones, miniLED will not help
Where are the 85 inch TVs from Hisense?? Didn't they say we were going to get an 85 inch version of the U8K?
Does the s95c upsacle 1080p video games like lg does on pc mode?
Show me your nits!
Would you pick the U7k over the LG QNED?
YES, either the U7K or Q7 but for gaming the QNED is still better but the contrast for regular content watching is definitely a step down.
FOMO did you measure the U7H response time
Is there difrence Europe version 65U7KQ and this Usa ? Ty for the help
In Malaysia U7K price is US$ 1530
But U7H price is US$ 760
Which one you think I should buy? Pleads advised
U7H is not similar with US Spec...only this year Hisense stated all model - U6K,U7K are similar globally...I rather wait for TCL C845 and it's cheaper a bit...
U7K or QM8 I would Love to get one of them or both if I can....
Hey fomo thanx for your great reviews. I from Thailand. If you had to buy one tv, Between u7k and u8h witch one would you pick? Thanx
U8h, absolutely . But if u want to size up get the Larger size. I have 2 Hisense. The first time when i bought U8 55” the biggest regret was “this tv so great, why didnt I buy a larger one”. Now i got a 65” i need a 75” for my new place. Lol. So get one that’s BIG within the budget.
U8H for sure, an amazing TV still if it's exactly like the USA model.
Hello! I purchased a 65U7K Hisense google version late last year in 2023. The issue I'm having is when i stream MLB TV it's choppy, laggy and "broken up", it's unwatchable. It only happens in this app. I've cleared the cache, restarted the app, u istalled the app, changed all the settings from all off to all on and everything in between, tried sports mode, you name it, I've tried it, so I think. Any idea as to why all hulu, netflix, prime and peacock are perfect minus MLB] streaming a baseball game?
The TV sucks dude.... I'm convinced these RUclipsrs were paid by Hisense..... My 500 dollar Samsung looks way better
Hi is the panel same as one ship to asia region?
Does anyone have this on paper for the u7K?
I've had the U7K (75 inch) for 5 months and I'm a bit disappointed. First of all, there's quite a bit of jutter on my tv. Another thing is that whenever I wanted to watch Thursday night football on Prime, I had to watch it on another tv because it's very choppy. I went to watch the Orioles game on the MLB app. and it was unwatchable...very choppy. The picture is clear, but the colors don't punch like my old TCL R655. I liked the picture quality from that tv better, but I had just the 55". If I could trade in the tv and pay more for a better tv, I would.
Is it better than the u8h
what is the difference between this and EU model U7KQ
Google TV - Vidaa
Trying to turn vrr on to be honest
sic detail in this video. that TCL blows the other two out in every example. But the U7k is like 2/3 the price so im getting that one!
I know this is over but your reviews use that first clip with the people. I just want to know if that’s on RUclips and what it’s called please if you could.
Can you get ps remote play and steam link apps on this?
700$ u7k or 800$ u8h ?
HI, WOULD YOU CHOOSE UK7 OR X90K IF THEY’RE BOTH THE SAME PRICE?
I'd choose the Sony X90K because it's better built overall
@@stopthefomo Thank you! I can cancel the uk7 since it’s not supposed to come in til net week. The x90k came in a couple hours ago. Can’t wait to get home to set it up! Thanks.
nice review brother could u help me out on decision i could get this 55U7KQ for 600bucks but there is option also lg c2 48inch for 860bucks what would u go for i would use tv for my bedroom watching movies and some controller gaming hooked up to my pc really dont know if worth saving 260bucks
i use c2 42" its fucking amazing for my pc
