Hisense U75QG TV Review: Dazzling Punch, Minimal Compromises
You really don’t need much more brightness than that for today’s video pipeline, which may be why the much more energetic U8QG seemed excessive to me. The U8 still looks best in sunny rooms, especially with direct reflections, but for most people the U7 packs enough punch for the foreseeable future. Even SDR content like the fiery dragon attack in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows appears to pop out of the screen, looking more like HDR.
This matches the vibrant colors of quantum dots in action movies like Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2animated favorites like Encantoand nature’s doctors love Our planet. Sometimes skin tones and other colors can look a little muted in Dolby Vision Dark mode, but switching to DV IQ pushes them to stunning levels.
The U75QG’s screen uniformity is another improvement over its predecessor, evident in both demo testing and real-world viewing. I saw some falloff in the corners (AKA vignetting) and some minor backlight columns in some content, but the TV was mostly free of visible screen aberrations, even in difficult images like grass in live sports or sunny horizons.
It’s an incredibly loaded package that makes the latest U7 one of the best value propositions I’ve tested this year. The streaming issues were an annoying quirk that I hope Hisense fixes quickly. Otherwise, if you’re looking for a bright, good-looking TV for under $1,000 on sale (or under $700 for the 55-inch), this is a top pick in the new order.
