The Hisense U7H is a lower mid-range 4k TV released in 2022. It's available in four sizes, ranging from 55" to 85", so you can choose the best size for your needs. It replaces the Hisense U7G, but Hisense has made only minor changes. It's a step up from the entry-level Hisense U6/U6H and includes HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, but it doesn't feature the Mini LED backlight found on the higher-end Hisense U8/U8H. It comes with the user-friendly Google TV 11 interface, an upgraded version of the Android TV interface found on the 2021 Hisense lineup. It has a great selection of gaming features, including HDMI 2.1 bandwidth on two of its HDMI ports and FreeSync variable refresh rate support. In Canada, this TV is the U78H, which performs the same. There are international variants that use the same or similar names, but they perform differently. It's been replaced in 2023 by the Hisense U7K.
Our Verdict
The Hisense U7H is great for mixed usage. It's best for watching movies in SDR or HDR in a dark room thanks to its excellent contrast ratio and good local dimming feature. It's also good for watching shows or sports in a bright room, as it can easily overcome glare thanks to its high SDR peak brightness and good reflection handling, but it's limited a bit by its sub-par viewing angle. It delivers a very good gaming experience, with low input lag and some great gaming features. Sadly, it has a slow response time, so there's noticeable blur with fast-moving objects on screen, and it can't display 4k @ 120Hz signals properly, which also limits its usefulness as a PC monitor.
- Excellent contrast results in deep blacks in a dark room.
- Good reflection handling.
- Image degrades when viewed from the side.
- International variants use the same name but perform differently.
The Hisense U7H is a good TV for watching shows in a bright room. It has excellent peak brightness in SDR and good reflection handling, so glare isn't an issue even in a bright room. The built-in Google TV smart platform has a great selection of streaming apps, and with built-in hands-free voice control, you can quickly find your favorite shows. Unfortunately, it has a sub-par viewing angle, and the image degrades if you're watching it from an angle, so it's not a good choice if you have a wide seating arrangement or if you like to move around with the TV on.
- Excellent peak brightness in SDR.
- Good reflection handling.
- Low-resolution content is upscaled without any issues.
- Image degrades when viewed from the side.
- International variants use the same name but perform differently.
The Hisense U7H is a good TV for watching sports in a bright room. It has excellent peak brightness and good reflection handling, so glare isn't an issue in a bright room. It also has decent gray uniformity with just a bit of dirty screen effect in the center. Unfortunately, due to its sub-par viewing angle, anyone sitting to the side of the screen will see a washed-out image, so it's a bad choice for watching the big game with a large group of friends.

The Hisense U7H delivers a great gaming experience. It has incredibly low input lag for a responsive gaming experience. Xbox Series X and PS5 gamers will appreciate its variable refresh rate support and HDMI 2.1 bandwidth. There are a few issues, though. It supports 4k @ 120Hz gaming but can't display it properly, and the image looks a bit blurry. It also has a slow response time, so there's noticeable ghosting behind fast-moving objects.

The Hisense U7H is a great TV for watching movies in a dark room. It has excellent contrast, an effective local dimming feature, and good peak brightness in HDR, so bright highlights stand out well. It respects the content creator's intent, as it has good tone mapping, and it tracks the PQ EOTF well, up to a smooth roll-off near the TV's peak brightness. It also has an impressive color gamut in HDR and great color volume, so HDR movies look vibrant and lifelike.
- Excellent contrast results in deep blacks in a dark room.
- Impressive wide color gamut and great color volume.
- HDR10+ and Dolby Vision support.

The Hisense U7H is very good for gaming in HDR. It delivers a responsive gaming experience thanks to its incredibly low input lag, and there's very little tearing thanks to its VRR support. HDR looks great due to its excellent contrast ratio, effective local dimming feature, and good peak brightness in HDR, so bright highlights stand out well. It also has great color volume and impressive color gamut, with nearly full coverage of the DCI-P3 color space, so games are vibrant and visually impressive. The TV supports 4k @ 120Hz gaming, but unfortunately, it can't display it properly, and the image looks a bit blurry.

The Hisense U7H is a very good TV for use as a PC monitor. It has incredibly low input lag for a responsive desktop experience, with very little delay between your actions with your mouse and the cursor moving on-screen. Visibility is good in a bright room thanks to its excellent SDR peak brightness and good reflection handling, so you don't have to worry about glare. It has HDMI 2.1 bandwidth for 4k @ 120Hz gaming, but unfortunately, it can't display it properly, and text looks a bit fuzzy. It also has a sub-par viewing angle, so it's not a good choice for sitting up close, as the sides of the screen appear non-uniform.

Differences Between Sizes And Variants
We tested the 65-inch Hisense U7H, and the results are also valid for the 55-inch, 75-inch, and 85-inch models. In Canada, it's known as the Hisense U78H, and it performs the same. There's a variant sold at club retailers like Costco, known as the U75H. It's the same TV, but it has a black bezel and comes with an extended warranty. The international models that carry the same model name are completely different TVs, as they use completely different panels and smart platforms, so these results aren't valid for those models.
| Size | US Model | Costco Model | Local Dimming Zones | Panel Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 55" | 55U7H | 55U75H | 72 | VA |
| 65" | 65U7H | 65U75H | 90 | VA |
| 75" | 75U7H | 75U75H | 120 | VA |
| 85" | 85U7H | - | 128 | VA |
The unit we tested was manufactured in June 2022, and you can see the label here.
Popular TV Comparisons
The Hisense U7H performs well for the price, but due to a few issues, better choices are available, like its successor, the Hisense U7K, or the LG QNED85. It has limited processing capabilities compared to the more expensive competitors. There are still some bugs and issues with it, and 4k @ 120Hz playback doesn't work properly.

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 slightly better than the Hisense U6H. The U7H delivers slightly better picture quality, with a better local dimming feature and slightly better contrast. The U7H also gets brighter, so it can handle a bit more glare if you're in a bright room. Finally, the U7H supports more advanced gaming features and delivers a better gaming experience, as it has a 120Hz panel and HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, meaning it can take full advantage of the Xbox Series S|X or PS5.
The Hisense U7H and the Sony X90K/X90CK 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 U8H is significantly better than the Hisense U7H. The U8H delivers much better picture quality, as it has a better local dimming feature with a Mini LED backlight. The U8H also delivers a better gaming experience, as it has a significantly faster panel with much less ghosting behind fast-moving objects. Finally, the U8H looks better in a bright room as it has much better reflection handling and gets much brighter in SDR, meaning it can handle more glare.
We buy and test dozens of TVs yearly, taking an objective, data-driven approach to deliver results you can trust. Our testing process is complex, with hundreds of individual tests that take over a week to complete. Most of our tests use specially designed test patterns that mimic real content, but we also use the same sources you have at home to ensure our results match the real-world experience. We use two main tools for our testing: a Colorimetry Research CR-100 colorimeter and a CR-250 spectroradiometer.
