Hisense U7H Review | How is this TV so good? Quirks and all.
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 авг 2024
- The Hisense U7H doesn't have a mini-LED backlight system and doesn't get nearly as bright as the U8H. It's also marginally less expensive than the U8H. And yet, this TV gets so much right, that it might be the better choice for a lot of TV shoppers.
Hisense U7H QLED TV is available at Amazon: amzn.to/3JEfKWF

Just wanna say I really appreciate your reviews. You and Rtings have helped alot with my purchasing decision of buying a TV that isnt just one I can go to walmart and regret buying
Caleb thanks for your review over the years keep up the work and have good luck on getting to 1 million subscribers
Just bought this TV thanks to your review!
Great video as always sir. I'm not super surprised that it's stacking up to the U8H. Last year's 7 and 8 models were pretty close. So this years are even closer and next years will be too as tech keeps growing. Would the 75" be similar as well? 🤔If not, what would you recommend? Need a TV for my basement and was waiting for the new ones to make a decision.
I haven’t owned a TV for around 15 years. I’ve ordered this TV and I’m sure it’s going to be a lovely treat.
How's going now ?
I appreciate this in depth explanation
Keep up the great work Caleb. You and everyone working on this channel are doing an amazing job. Best review channel for tech hands down.👏👍
Thanks, I am in Canada and just ordered U7H 55". Thanks for the great review :)
Hey Mr.Denison great video as always been really enjoying this channel since getting my 65" Hisense U7G a couple weeks ago. I'm liking it so much I'm considering getting another 55" varient for my bedroom. My question tho is which is a better TV the U7G or this this U7H when it comes to price they are pretty close right now the U7G is a bit cheaper but I could go either way so just trying to decide which I should go with. Maybe can you do a side by side comparison video of both sets.
I would have went with the U8H if they had an 85" version. Looking forward to getting the U7H tomorrow though, great review!
Caleb!! Love the videos and have been following for a while. Would be great to do a revisit to the TCL R646 now that the software glitches have been iron out!!
I have the 50-in U6g from last year and it has the shimmering effect
I just ordered the Hisense 55” U7H for $580 with tax. Not too bad of a price. I wanted the U8H, but didn’t have enough. I think this is still a great TV.
Where did you buy from?
Just picked one up on Amazon today for 789 thanks for the review it helped me actually check out. I had 99$ in credit but with the 4 year protection plan to the door it was 687$. Hope it last.
Just bought 2 of these. Awesome panels
Great video as always! The U7H at 75 inches is a great deal of you want more than 65 inches. I wish the U8H had that option. Last year model U8G didn't have it and I ended up buying the 65 inch.
The u8h is 75 inches
I thought I saw the u8h had a 75 inch
@@bustex1 it alway out of stock
Nice comparison. I wished you would have mentioned size options. Maybe compare to TCL. Thanks
I bought the 85" partly based on your incredible and detailed review. Thank you!
i had a 85" samsung QLED and this one is basically the same unless your one of these nerds who likes to use a magnify glass on everything and moans about anything these tv's are just as good to me and cheaper
How have you found it so far?
@@ausssiemite Absolutely. superb. Incredible picture for the money.
@@groovefunkel amazing! Thank you for that. I bought a samsung crystal lcd tv yesterday but something tells me I'd prefer to get my hands on this TV instead.
@@ausssiemite I'm sure you will be impressed with it.
Really enjoy your video reviews! I watch every one (well, almost). I do have a suggestion. Could you please review 43 inch TVs? I would love to be able to have a bigger set, but I (we) just don't have the space. The 43 inch category seems to be neglected by most of the review sites. Help me, please. Thanks Caleb!
Thanks for the video I am totally gonna get the 55 inch version from Costco in the next few months for my bedroom/gaming PC setup. :)
Thanks for the review. I want to get a tv for a secondary room and the U7H looks to fit the bill.
great video would have loved to hear and see the tv's operating system and software though, to see how it goes through the apps.
Hi Caleb, did you end up comparing the colour errors between the u8h and the u7h? I am looking at either the u8h or u7h as a main tv in our basement rec room. We mainly watch movies, series tv an a LOT of sports. I have not seen either of these tv’s side-by-side, but leaning towards the u8h for the added colour “pop”. Great videos btw, keep up the great work!
A visual side-by-side comparison is always more interesting.
Hisense have come a long way in just a few years, their early sets were average at best
now they are good enough for me to buy whilst they are available and on offer.
Fingers etc crossed that i receive a good sample.
Have two 65 inch for a few years and not a problem, best on the market IMO.
This is a interesting find considering Im somewhat looking for a new Hisense TV this year. Im currently still using my Hisense 50H7GB1. Still running strong but I want to upgrade a newer one. Im liking what I've seen so far from them. I wish Hisense would come out with a Sound bar that really reflects their TV. Thanks
Why not just get a blutooth surround sound set up? most come with a front sound bar.
I actually use a bluetooth headset with mine.
Feels more natural too, mainly with voice searching... with out a headset i just feel weird talking into my remote.
Plus my headset tends to hear me better and for the most part actually types what i say... the remotes mic is kinda dinky and you gotta be eating your remote for it to pick you up... understanding you is another story lol.
Also the model i have has pretty good speakers built in... they just suck at low volumes for some reason, bass seems like it doesnt start drawing out until you hit a pretty decent volume, even after messing with the system EQ.
Now if you do go with a headset or headphones... I use my Razer Barracudas with mine.
they came with an app that helps quickly switch between all my bluetooth devices and the 2.4hrz dongle thats hooked to my PS4.
These things even have its own EQ built into the app, a pretty solid one too.
Definitly beats having to download different EQs for every device you have and then messing with them all.
Much easier just having 1 to deal with now.
Plus it makes it easier when you connect to a friend who likes twangy high pitch music, you dont have to mess with any of their EQ setting (if any).
Oh and some headsets can use 3D audio devices, basically its a dongle that your headset will bypass through giving you emmersive sound, basically true surround sound for headsets.
I wouldnt suggest buying anything hisense
Since Hisense's I think it was K series tv's I've always liked there products. I also have 2 of their Servo tablets. My kids liked them so I all good with Hisense.
@@glowup841 you usually need to quantify statements like that with reasons. otherwise, no one cares what you said.
I'm sold thanks so much this tv checked all the boxes for me I've bought a tv every year since 2019 Vizio,lg, Hisense, TCL this has the size features and price I want and your video just made me want it every more I'll definitely be buying in the next few days at 85 inch
Hi Caleb! Love your videos! I'm shopping for a 65in to replace my Vizio of less than a year. Leaning towards Sony...Sony vs Hisense and Samsung or LG
I got the U7H a few weeks ago for $750 plus there is a $100 rebate if you keep it for 100 days vs the U8H for $999 and a rebate. I don't know if the U8H is worth the ~38% more money, but after seeing a few reviews, it doesn’t seem like it. When people ask what tv it is, they are surprised it’s a Hisense. My room isn't very bright, so I had to turn down the brightness to 85/100. I haven’t noticed a shimmer when watching 4k HDR, however, I use a fire stick 4k max for media streaming. Overall, excellent TV.
Thanks for the review
My first Review was when You reviewed Onkyo TX NR838 Receiver, that was 7year ago. Have always gotten insights from Your reviews. Much respect from Nairobi Kenya 🇰🇪. 20k before the year is possible🙏🏾
No way! That was ages ago!
Have always been here since then. I congratulate You for the benevolent passion You have for your reviews. God bless and keep the spirit going🙏🏾
i got the UH8AU 65" and it is stunning.
I got their U6H Google tv and it's alright, took some time to find the right color balance. It's not like my old lg that was heavy reflective but also don't have that remote that can control other devices that's connected to it. Recommend for bedroom and garage but not a living room tv, get a Samsung or an LG for that.
I don’t have any issues with black levels this tv. I get a very excellent smooth black gradient from my U7H. Your right the color is on point very accurate. Brightness is too high to the point I had to lower it. The shimmering has not been an issue with my tv, I will have to check, but overall I have no complaints. I thank you for showing me this tv when it first came out.
Still rocking my 55” U7G and am happy to see I can easily upgrade to it since the price didn’t get jacked up like crazy.
I hope they make a 42” oled , I want a C series for my gaming rig, but there just sooo expensive
you would be wasting your money to replace a U7G with a U7H
Hi Caleb,
Sometimes you describe the screen's glare and/or reflectivity when you review a TV. I watch in a bright room with lots of windows and this is always an important consideration. Could you make that part of your standard review? I know - there's so many items to consider, but I thought I'd ask : )
Just got a U7K 75", would recommend, good value for the price! And it has good viewing angle, have to go 45 degrees off of center before it affects picture, if that is important.
Hi Caleb, I love your videos and you convinced me to buy this TV 65 inch, can you tell me the best settings I should do to get the best picture quality? Thanks and more power to you!
Oh and I watch a lot of movies, so pls tell me the best settings for this, thanks again
Thank you for this video. I just recently purchased the 55" U7H at Costco for $469. I think it's one of the best bangs for your buck. You mentioned shimmering and the motion smoothing is, well, tolerable. Not what I was hoping for. But, considering the price point, I can live with a few quirks. My questions to you or any other individual reading this, what are the best settings in all areas of control, and where to get info without having to pay for the services of a professional? Is it necessary to have the set calibrated? I've searched here on YouTune, but have come up short. Thank you again. Great video.
If you got a warranty, you should be OK. Now, as for the Picture? There are some vids you can find & see their settings. I have the Roku version & it's just dark watching in a small dark room. Nothing I can change really because with Roku? It sets itself automatically, basically. Warranty? I've had 2 in the family & both lasted around 2 to 3yrs Max! Then the backlighting starts going out. This is from just setting the TV up new & never moving it, then keeping it clean with TV cleaner. I think if you can locate a professional calibration guy at a good cost? Get it calibrated. I went to Best Buy & looked at they're TV's & they were beautiful! Same TV I have at home but with calibration? Omg! They looked like $6k TV's!!
Please do some videos on the EU models from TCL and Hisense. I would love to know your opinion on these
I have a U8H 65" still in the box (Christmas) and am still undecided on whether or not to keep it. My concern, after reading many reviews is that it may be too bright, even with custom-settings. My eyes are somewhat light-sensitive and am thinking the U7H may be a better choice. Thanks for the review !
What did you do ?
What did you do?
Got a 65 in U75H from Costco and its been really good so far. Not sure exactly what the differences are 100% between the U7H and U8H but it was a good price for a good TV. Thanks for making these vids btw
I got the 75" from Costco.....Hisense doing a great job of providing the best bang for the buck. Add the $100 Costco gift card I got to the $100 Hisense promo.....toss in tax and free delivery....to my door for about $950.
@@jamescassinelli1919 you lucky guy! I paid full price at Costco for a 65" but am happy with it. Just wondering if you tried setting picture to Vivid and Filmmaker modes and which one is better to you?
Hi .. any of you guys have it calibrated?
Something to share?
I got mine yesterday but I’ll install it today after work…
Thanks 🙏🏼
Came here looking for this costco version exactly. I'm eyeing the 55 inch for my living space which isn't the main entertainment area. It's sub $500 right now so it may be a solid deal for me. It's mostly for shows for wife who does not care for image quality at all. But I wanted one I could get good gaming performance still if I decided to bring my Xbox SX down from my office every now and then.
Hoe are you guys all liking it?
From my research, U8H emits 2000+ nits, U7H does 900+.
U8H has great dimming and shadow detail that brings it close to OLED in how well it can do specular highlights in middle of dark surroundings. Look at Quantum and Stop the FOMO for side by side tests.
I Just got the u8h for 650 dollars. Im so happy with my purchase.
Not sure if you meant the U7H. But if you got the U8H at 55" for 650" that is insane deal. Where I live they are over 1000. and close to 1400 for 65. I got the 65" U7H for 1000 flat. I've never had a TV before so do not know how great my purchase was but the content looks generally fine enough.
Thank you for the review and I am late to the TV space, is a 65 inch u7h or u8h/g i mostly stream and gaming thanks.
Hello. Thanks for this review, I got the U7H, and it looks good. I just have a problem, in my picture setting, I don't have an option for a filmmaker and also an option to choose between Dolby vision on or off. Pls, is that a problem? How does the Dolby vision?
Hi, love the vids!! I cannot find the U8H 75inch near me (San Francisco CA) so that brought me here. But I did watch your video for the U8H...So thanks for that!! The Best buy manager said they might get some for XMas "Chip shortage". Is that a thing? I will wait for Xmas, it is at $1499 now (hopefully drop more in Dec) and the U7H in stock is at $949.99. That being said/written...Thank you for making this particular video. The 75 inch Sony Bravia XR X90K is also at $1499 but the Hisense was rated better, hence the waiting. Would you go for the Sony X90K? The U7H? or wait for UH8? is the U7H 75inch better then the Sony 75inch at $550 less? I am leaning towards the U7H. SUGGESTIONS/ADVICE? Will use for Movies/streaming and eventually PS5 gaming all in a light controlled environment (no glare worries). Thank you!! I am subscribing regardless!! Appreciate the content and I def have a sound bar!! :)
Possible to have the measurements for the input lags and HDR in gaming mode? Also what are the differences of the U7H and U8H European models?
Just as an experiment, I turned up the backlight on my trusty Sony KDL-40EX400 to the max. When new, this TV maxed out just around 300 nits, and it's 12 years old now.
My wife has Graves disease, which makes her eyes especially sensitive. She complained that the white icons on the Roku stick for RUclips, etc. were too bright. She has all kinds of vision issues that can't be fully corrected even with her custom, extra-strong contact lenses.
No 1000-nit HDR TV in our house, I guess. Maybe I can talk her into an OLED someday.
Hello Mr Denison. Thanks for your review, I was waiting for it. 2022 is the year I want to buy a new tv. Still watching on a 2010 HD LG... I would go for this U7H but as many others I guess I etnd to stick to Sony or LG. But after all the reviews on these, I may believe they are not what they used to be. I watch mostly cable TV, Amazon Prime video, some RUclips through Apple TV HD and that's about it. No gaming at all, no Blue Ray. Motion, well I watch a 2010 era motion tech so do you think I would be affected by this shimmer thing? Should I get an Apple TV 4K or use the pre installed apps? My intentions are this U7H or a Sony X85K. Waiting for your precious hints. Thanks.
You just made me want this tv
*GRINZ* Yes, I am *reGRINZing* I understand what works for me may not work for another, but in my experience with this 85U7H I have nothing but praise for it (and I have been called a perfectionist by many). Good luck with your quest. I understand the process as I spent one full week researching everything I could find on this model.
My brother ans I wanted a TV for Xmas years ago. My old man picked up a hisense thar was god awful, but to us it was the best thing in the world. Hisense has come a long way since then.
I'm looking at this tv and the vizio 75 MQX. Any suggestions on which one you would go with? They both seem close
Hey Caleb I was wondering if I could get your thoughts if the new TCL Q7 is better than the U7? Or do you think the U7 is better?
Thank you for the heads up about the TVs in the rest of the world being different despite having the same name. A friend of mine bought the u8h in Europe per my recommendation and turns out is a totally different TV. A scam.
thanks for mentioning other regions don't get this same TV. Because even I, considering myself a bit more tech savy than your regular person, almost fell for it from your U8H review. Shady practices from manufacturers guarantee i never buy their product...
Scammy practice for them to sell 2 TVs of vastly different specs under the exact same name!
Just ordered it. 🤞
Caleb any word on when the U9H will be available in the states? Same for TCL they have higher models (from the 6 series) already released in EU but nothing yet here.
I have a C1 in my living room and was looking for a TV to upgrade in my media room. You can't go wrong with this one. Price and Quality. Thanks for the review
Do you leave the sound on the tv at the manufacturer settings or do you go into the equalizer and turn everything on max?
Have you got the recommended settings available as getting this tv this week connecting to 5.1 surround theatre system and xbox series x
Do I need to reconsider for this over a LG 83 C2 that I’m about to drop coin for next week???
Im curious if you are gonna look at the u6h. Seems to be getting great praise but i’d like to see what you get.
Thanks for your great review. Gave me the nudge I needed to make my purchase. Quick question though: is the Model for the US you mention the same for Mexico? is it the same model for America as a continent? Thanks!
Bestbuy has this tv right now for $500
So, with that high peak brightness in SDR mean you can have an HDR-ish experience with SDR content?
Need a setup video for this tv please. Unless you'd set it up exactly like the u8h then I'll just go check that video out
I would like to see a video about Should you Upgrade if you have TV that’s only 5 years old or 3 years if it’s a big jump.
Do you have any calibration settings for this tv?
Looking for feedback. He said that without any motion smoothing on, the U7H doesn't look as "smooth and natural" as the TCL 6 series. As someone who never uses motion smoothing when watching shows (can't stand the "soap opera" effect), what can I expect? If I'm never planning to use motion smoothing, am I better off purchasing the TCL 6 series? I like the price point of the U7H (55" model), but wanna make sure I'm making the right choice.
Would it be a good idea to wait for Black Friday to buy it.
I have the 2020 65" H9G and this seems to be the first "WOW" factor Hisense that put them on the map. I am now considering a slightly larger 75" and the similar 1000 nits brightness U7H almost seems similar to the H9G but with less dimming zones. Had the 2020 H9G been offered in 75" I would have bought it instead of the 65".
I think d H9G is U7H ! It has same gut they just relaunched it !
My husband says Intell does it too with their Flagship Chips . Evey a few months they re Label d chip to new name n just sell it as mark down 1 tier down . Cuz it’s waste to let go a Very good product .
U7H is literally H9G 😮! I have H9G in 55” ! I love my tv
Lol u bought 2020 H9G ! 😊 awesome . I got it. Beaming over it all year ! Ppl were so UNDERWHELMED by me beaming over Hisense 😂😂😂
May I ask if you have an opinion on the more recent Hinsense x9HAU 4K OLED TV? I've read where OLED has been a fail for Hisense but I'd be keen to know whether the image quality & features would be comparable to say an LG C2?
Is the 75 inch version an IPS panel like last year's 75 inch version of the U7G or is it a VA panel this time?
Hi, which one would you prefer? Samsung q80b or this one? I'll use it in my xbox series x, watching anime and series
Hi Digital Trends! I live in Europe and we have the Hisense 65"65U7HQ. Is the same tv with Hisense U7H??
Thank you
Hey Caleb, about the shimmering you are seeing. Was that with just the built in apps?
i have a hisense. its on ANYTHING DOLBY VISION
Is the shimmering issue just when using the google tv apps? Wondering if it’s an OS issue that wouldn’t affect me with an apple tv
hi Caleb! would it be possible to do a comparison of the 65in. U7H and the 75in. U7H please? I understand that the 75in. panel is an IPS so I was wondering if the pro of the bigger screen is bigger than the cons that an IPS may be such as reduced black levels.
In the US the 75" is VA
Great review! Is this tv IPS or VA panel and how well is it for wide angle viewing for A7HAU?
Va
Caleb, love you videos but I wanna be a nit nerd bro!!! I'm pretty sure someone has said this before but you should make a nit nerds academy videos on calibration and how and why and what those numbers mean.
I'm going to buy this TV in atleast 65" size on black Friday. Convinced my friend to buy a U7G last year and it turned out amazing.
Which one do you prefer out of this tv or the Vizio mq x ?
Would you recommend this over the LG UQ75?
good review
congrats and ty, we just bought a new tv and you have been helpfull, not a hisense tho lol
Hi! I’m choosing between 65 u7h and 55 u8h? Price the same 999 Cad
What you can recommend?
so I have a 1080p Vizo TV from 2017.. this would be a great improvement. ?
What are your thoughts on ultra short throws?
Are you going to do a review of the 98" TCL?
Can you share the color settings you adjusted on this TV?
I'm looking at picking a TV up sometime soon. Would you recommend this over the TCL R646 (Google model) from last year? It sounds like most of the software issues have been sorted out now.
I was in the same dilemma I went u7h on sale $499 at Best Buy at vs $599 sale price of the r646 same size 55”
Nice review. I was close to buying the Amazon Omni 65, but I might invest in this one after this review (your review of the Omni was nowhere near as positive as this one, lol). I see Hisense selling the U7H as a ULED tv - is the ULED U7H the same model you're talking about? Cheers.
(Video idea) I have a Sony ah8 oled does it still hold up to today's tvs
Great review.... I'm seriously considering this in the 75" size, but wondering if it'll fit on my 60" stand. Does anyone know if there two positions on this stand?
My 65"U7H has two stand positions.
Caleb you should really make a video why Hisense and TCL give bad models to rest of the world for way higher price. You are youtuber(that makes videos about tvs) with biggest number of subscribers and i think that your subscribers around the world deserve that kind of video from you. You have at least 200k subscribers outside of US and all of us want to know why chinese brands treat us like sheep. It's a simple thing for you...few phone/skype/zoom calls to get all informations and there is another video for you and explanation for us. 🙏
I agree, and this video is already in the works!
The rest of the world is disgusting, that’s why.
Great! I was so close to pull the trigger on a Hisense U8G last year due to all the praise on youtube. It was only the last minute i found out that the European model was vastly different than the us counterpart.
@@Caleb_Denison thanks a lot for that Caleb.
Which country you from sir
can we connect with cpu and use it as monitor ?
Could you Possibly compare the U7H vs U8G?
Is Hisense going to bring they're OLED tv to the US?
I have a U6HF tv and have the same problem with shimmer when a part of the un image has too much detail like hair or some clothe fabrics. Do yoy think this can be fixed with software and firmware updates in the future? Or is it a problem of a poor chip processor?
I can’t find anywhere a review about the hisesnse oled (the a9 series). Can you make one please?
