Hisense U7H [U7, U75H] TV Review

The Hisense U7H is a slight improvement compared to its predecessor, the Hisense U7G, but the differences are relatively minor. The U7H has a slightly better local dimming feature, and its backlight-strobing feature can flicker at both 60Hz and 120Hz, so there's no image duplication when watching 60Hz content with the feature enabled. Finally, the Hisense U7H supports ATSC 3.0 (NEXTGEN TV), allowing it to capture 4k signals over the air in supported regions.

The Hisense U7H is better than the Sony X80K. Due to its local dimming feature and significantly better contrast, blacks are much deeper on the U7H, so it performs better in a dark room. The U7H gets much brighter in HDR and SDR, so highlights pop more with HDR content, and the TV fights glare better with SDR content in a bright room. The U7H is also better for gaming due to its VRR and HDMI 2.1 bandwidth support.

The Hisense U7H is better than the Samsung AU8000. The U7H is better for gaming due to its HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, VRR support, and the ability to play games in 120Hz. It’s also the better option for watching content in dark rooms because of its better contrast, a local dimming feature, and better black uniformity. HDR also looks much better on the U7H due to its wider color gamut, much better color volume, higher HDR peak brightness, and better PQ EOTF tracking, so HDR content is more accurate, more vibrant and lifelike, and bright highlights pop much more than on the Samsung. The U7H also gets much brighter in SDR, so it overcomes glare better in a bright room.

For the most part, the Hisense U7H and the Sony X85K deliver similar picture quality, but they each have different strengths. The Hisense delivers a slightly better HDR experience, as it has a full array local dimming feature that helps bring out bright highlights in HDR, while on the Sony, the entire scene will always be displayed at the same brightness level. On the other hand, the Sony TV has better picture and motion processing, so upscaled content looks a bit better, and there are fewer artifacts in gradients.

The Hisense U7H and Hisense U8G are similar TVs, but the U8G is slightly better in a few ways. The U8G has better contrast, so it looks better in a dark room. The U8G gets brighter in HDR, so bright highlights pop more than on the U7H. The U8G also gets a bit brighter in SDR and has better reflection handling, so it does a better job at fighting glare in a bright room. Finally, the U8G is the better option for gaming because of its quicker response time, so there is less blur behind fast-moving objects on screen.

The TCL 6 Series/R655 2022 QLED is better than the Hisense U7H. The TCL has much better reflection handling and higher peak brightness, meaning it can handle more glare in a bright room. The TCL also has much better accuracy before calibration, which is great if you care about an accurate image. Finally, the TCL is better for gaming thanks to its higher refresh rate and faster response time, resulting in much smoother motion handling and less blur behind fast-moving objects.

The Hisense U7H is better than the Hisense U6/U6K, except if you care about color accuracy, as the U7H's accuracy is middling before calibration. If you don't care about accuracy, the U7H is a much brighter and more colorful TV with more features for gamers with its two HDMI 2.1 bandwidth ports and very wide VRR range. The U6K does have a faster response time, so there's less blur on that TV with fast action.

The U8K also delivers a better gaming experience, as it has a faster panel with less ghosting behind fast-moving objects. The U8K looks better in a bright room because it has much better reflection handling and gets much brighter in SDR, so it can handle more glare. It also gets brighter in HDR, so very bright highlights pop more than on the U7H.

The LG C3 OLED is better than the Hisense U7H in almost every way. The C3 has a much better picture quality due to its perfect contrast and the ability to display much deeper blacks, so it’s the better choice for a dark room. The C3 is also better for gaming due to its much faster response time and lower input lag, and it’s better for watching shows or sports as a group because of its much wider viewing angle. The U7H gets a lot brighter in SDR, so if you regularly use your TV in a bright room, it’s a better option for that.

The Hisense U7H is a bit better than the Amazon Fire TV Omni QLED Series 2022. The Hisense is a lot brighter, allowing it to better overcome glare in a bright room, and bright highlights in HDR stand out better.

The TCL also has much better sound quality, with less distortion and better frequency response, and it gets significantly louder than the Hisense.

The Hisense U7H is better than the Samsung Q60C QLED. Thanks to its better contrast and the inclusion of a local dimming feature, blacks are much deeper on the U7H, so it performs better in a dark room. The U7H gets much brighter in HDR, so bright highlights pop more than on the Q60C. The U7H also gets brighter in SDR, so it overcomes glare better in a bright room. Finally, the U7H is the better option for gaming because of its faster response time, so there is less blur behind fast-moving objects when compared to the Q60C.

The Hisense U7H is better than the LG QNED80 2023. The Hisense looks much better in a dark room thanks to its much higher contrast ratio, much better black uniformity, and effective local dimming feature. The U7H gets significantly brighter in HDR and SDR, so highlights pop more with HDR content and the TV overcomes glare better with SDR content in a bright room.

The Hisense U7H is better than the Hisense U6G. The U7H gets brighter in HDR and SDR, so highlights pop more with HDR content and the TV overcomes glare better with SDR content in a bright room. The U7H is also the better option for gaming, as it supports HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, VRR, and 120Hz gaming.

The Hisense U7H is better than the Hisense A6H. The U7H is better for gaming because of its HDMI 2.1 bandwidth and its ability to play games in 120Hz. The U7H is also much better for watching content in a dark room due to its significantly better contrast and black uniformity. HDR looks much better on the U7H due to its wide color gamut, much better color volume, higher HDR peak brightness, and better PQ EOTF tracking, so HDR content is more accurate, more vibrant and lifelike, and bright highlights pop. The U7H also gets much brighter in SDR, so it overcomes glare better in a bright room.

The Hisense U7H is better than the Samsung Q80C QLED for watching movies, while the Samsung has a slight edge for gaming. The Hisense has significantly better contrast, with a much better local dimming feature. The U7H has much better black uniformity, so it's the better dark room TV. Both TVs are similar in a bright room, with the Hisense being a tad brighter in HDR and SDR and having a slight edge in reflection handling. Unfortunately, the Hisense TV's viewing angle is inadequate, so the Samsung is better for a wide seating arrangement. While the Hisense has the same gaming features as the Samsung, it has slightly worse input lag and a much worse response time, so the Samsung is the better gaming TV. It also makes the Samsung model better for watching sports, while the Hisense has the edge as a home entertainment TV, especially as it supports DTS audio formats.

It also gets much brighter than the CU8000 in both SDR and HDR, has better color volume, much better color accuracy, supports passthrough of DTS audio formats, and has more gaming features like 4K @ 120Hz and VRR.

The Hisense U7H and the Sony X90K are similar TVs that perform slightly better than each other in different situations. The X90K is generally better for gaming due to its faster response time, so there is less blur behind quick-moving objects on screen, but if you’re looking for 1440p @ 120Hz support, the Hisense is the better option since the Sony lacks that ability. When it comes to watching movies in a dark room, the Hisense is the better option since it has better contrast, better black uniformity, and gets brighter in HDR, so highlights pop more than on the Sony. If you regularly watch low-quality and low-resolution content, the Sony is much better for that due to its better processing capabilities.  

The Hisense U7H and Samsung Q80B QLED are better than each other in different ways. The Hisense performs much better in a dark room due to its more effective local dimming feature, better contrast and black uniformity, and highlights pop a bit more in HDR thanks to its slightly better HDR peak brightness.
