Hisense’s midrange TV gets a mega boost of brightness for (mostly) thrilling results.
Gaming is a big theme for the U7 again this year, offering a sweet selection of picture modes, a dedicated gaming bar, and low input lag. I’m no competitive gamer, but I love how crisp, luminous, and colorful the TV renders my current gaming obsession, Ghosts of Tsushima. The swirling leaves, rushing streams, and epic vistas all looked gorgeous, and response was smooth and fluid, making for a real treat as I prep for the sequel.
The U75QG boasts plenty more extras, from its loaded (if large) backlit remote, to support for all major HDR and audio formats. You’ll get ATSC 3.0 for NextGen broadcast content from TV antennas, something many premium TVs have been dropping lately, and streaming over Google Cast or Apple AirPlay. Even the audio system stepped up, though I’d still recommend a good soundbar or pair of bookshelf speakers.
