I just bought the 75" Hisense U7SG this past weekend and could not be happier. Best Buy did an excellent job unboxing and delivering the TV, so very minimal DSE and great panel uniformity. It does a good job fooling you that it is an OLED but without ABL limitations. Stsndard Warm 1 is my preferred setting. I have a 55" LG C5 beside it and in most ways the LG falls short.Watch 9

I have had a few different tv’s over the years & this Hisense blows them away in value for money/quality, it’s a 2024 85u6nau mini-led & i have never had a single problem with it, it’s been working perfectly ever since the day i plugged it in over two years ago. No freezing, no turning off/on issues, lines, dead pixels or software issues .Read thread S
Setting up the massive 100-inch Hisense U7SG Mini-LED TV completely changed the vibe of my living room, but the real question is how a screen this big actually performs in everyday conditions.Watch R

Real quick, I just wanted to say this is a VERY nice TV. I mounted it on the wall in my kid's room, as you can probably see from a bit of the footage in the video. Sometimes I just sit there and watch it. The picture quality even during the day is insane. It's a much needed upgrade, and special shoutout to the remote. Way nicer than some of the other remotes I have laying around.Watch G
Call it what it actually is: a TV built for a living room that never does just one thing. Sports one night, a movie the next, a controller picked up on a random Tuesday, U7SG is a perfect fit for a wide range of use cases.

Highly rated by Rtings who rated it better than the TCL QM7K . Hope I made a good decision. Thx.Read Q
That being said, we can dive right in in saying that the Highense U7 SG is just better than the Highense U8G. It just is. You can see it when you look at a lot of contrasty pieces. It just does a better job of pulling a more three-dimensional image out of the screen more consistently. Now, to be 100% both are monstrously bright TVs. I feel like they are pretty similar in that category.Watch A

Okay, now let me start off with picture quality because I got to say this TV actually really surprised me. So, starting off with just the overall display, this is an anti-glare matte display. So, yes, it does have an anti-glare coating, but it is also a matte finish as well.Watch P

As I started using this TV, I was blown away by the picture quality, not just the color range, but also the way it handled motion. I'm talking 4K at 165 Hz, which is perfect for fast-paced gaming and action movies. The response time is super low, making everything feel incredibly silky smooth.Watch B

No.it sucks! I bought the U7SG and had to return it! Every time i turned the tv off. It wont connect to my router via wifi or cat cable directly. Was forced to reboot my modem and then reset the tv EVERY time. Call hisense tech suppport and of course you can only get an AI bot. They keep saying reset the tv and restart your router. They dont have a solution to make it wirk correctly.Watch Q
The TV is really pretty. Looks nice. Don't have any problems with it, minus the shitty ass matte finish screen. But that being said, let's turn this TV on for the first time, provided I plugged it in, which I probably didn't do cuz I never do. So, I'm going to have to plug it in because every single year, and I [ ] you not, I do this every single year where I have a TV.Watch T
Hisense has improved its blooming control quite a bit over the past few years, and the U7SG is less susceptible than last year’s U75QG, but there’s still a subtle glow around things like fireworks or subtitles with black backgrounds. This becomes more apparent when off angle, causing the blooming to look more gray.Read Q
So, we can't really be too hard on the Hisense U7SG, given it's not even a flagship or a junior flagship. It is literally a mid-range television intended to be a mid-range television. Black levels are not fantastic. I was actually more impressed with the U6 Pro's black levels, so if you wanted that information, there you go. But in terms of the rest of the the quality, I do see where there's an upWatch B
The hisense u7sg looks realy good! Ive not seen it in person. The 100 inch is 3000 bucks. But that is one big screen without a massive price lol. I worry about how content woukd look at that size on the u7sg ,do you have any thoughts or experiance on that?Watch 5
Looking only at the specifications, the Hisense appears to have a clear advantage, offering a higher refresh rate, extremely high brightness levels, and an impressive number of local dimming zones. However, as we've seen many times in the TV world, the model with the biggest numbers doesn't always end up being the one people enjoy the most once it's sitting in their living room.Watch Q
Hisense U7SG looks decent enough for my living room. Which by the way don't have a TV in there at all. The only TV I have is the S90D 55 inch in my bedroom being used as a pc monitor. Which is very nice as a monitor.Watch T
The Hisense U7SG and TCL QM7L can both deliver impressive movie nights, but a completely dark room reveals weaknesses that powerful brightness can easily hide during the day.Watch Q
LongReachAround The U6 pro has better black levels because it is a VA panel, and the U7 is a ADS pro panel, at 55 inches anyway.Watch B
While the hardware feels premium, the software setup can be a hurdle. The current Google TV interface, while snappy and responsive once running, can be finicky during the initial connection phase, >> particularly when attempting to sync with mobile devices. Picture performance. Brilliance meets complexity.Watch W
As usual, I wouldn’t grab one at full price, but the price should drop soon, making this year’s U7 another solid budget buy.Read
