This Hisense 65″ Mini-LED TV Is $300 Off Right Now

THE Hisense U65QF 65-inch TV now sells for $547.99, down from $847.99, and price trackers confirm that this is its lowest price recorded.

That’s a solid drop for a TV that’s also PCMag’s Editors’ Choice, praised in a ““exceptional” review as “a bright, beautiful TV at an affordable price”. This summary is suitable. The TV’s mini-LED backlight is the first thing that stands out. It gets bright (crossing the 1,000 nits mark), which you immediately feel when watching something mastered for Dolby Vision or HDR10. High-contrast scenes, like night shots filled with neon signs, look sharp and bold, although you’ll notice some slight blooming at those high-contrast edges. However, for a 65 inch model at this price, the image seems more vibrant than last year’s HisenseU6Nwhich already enjoyed a solid reputation. If you are looking for something bigger, the 75 inches And 85 inches versions also cost less than $1,000 at the moment.

THE U65QF handles motion in a way that makes everyday viewing easier, whether you’re watching a late-night movie or catching a weekend game. The 144 Hz refresh rate keeps fast-moving scenes clean, so car chases, quick pans, and quick game replays don’t become blurry. This same responsiveness is found in games. AMD FreeSync Premium Pro keeps the picture stable as frame rates drop, and input lag (4.6ms at 1080p/120 and 13.1ms at 4K/60) helps the TV respond as soon as you do. The brightness of the panel also plays an important role. Highlights remain strong without washing out shadows, and the screen retains its colors well even when you’re on its side, giving it better viewing angles than you’d expect from a economic television.

Hisense is changing direction on the software side, moving from Google TV to Amazon’s Fire TV, and the change is noticeably shaping the experience. Fire TV is familiar, smooth, and supports all the major streaming apps, but the interface relies heavily on ads. The platform still covers the bases well, offering AirPlay for Apple devices, although the lack of Google Cast means Android users lose a simple streaming option they may be accustomed to. Alexa is still part of the setup and handles voice commands without issue, but the lack of hands-free microphones means you’ll still rely on the remote’s mic button every time. It’s a workable setup, but not as flexible as before.
