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 and TCL Q7/Q750G QLED are very similar TVs, each with their own strengths; the TCL is very slightly better overall, although it has more quirks than the Hisense. They are roughly equal for both HDR and SDR brightness, although the TCL has better contrast and black uniformity, helped by a better local dimming feature. However, the Hisense is a bit more colorful with better color volume. They're both similarly average in processing, although the TCL is better at low-quality content smoothing. While the TCL has an inconsistent response time that is particularly annoying to gamers but is otherwise great for most content, the Hisense's response time is just consistently okay all the time.

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 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 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 Samsung Q60B QLED. The U7H is the much better option for gaming due to its HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, VRR support, faster response time, and the ability to game in 120Hz.
