Best budget 4K TV? Hisense 55U7HQTUK review

In my review of the Hisense 55U7H 4K 120hz TV, I ask the question: what do you get for £549? Is the 4K, Dolby Vision, quantum dot image quality good enough? And, more importantly, is it a decent upgrade from my 55” Samsung TV?

What's the most impressive thing you've watched in Dolby Vision recently?

[NottsMan]

It's a great tv, especially when watching dolby vision with dolby atmos.

Here are my settings for UK version both for gaming and netflix etc -

Picture mode HDR dynamic
Game mode - auto
Free sync on
Backlight- high
Brightness 37
Contrast 80
Colour saturation 60
Sharpness 20
Adaptive contrast medium
Ultra smooth motion standard.
Sound is always dolby atmos.

When I watch sport I manually change the picture to sports and same for sound.

This is the best TV review I have watched.. straight to the point.. and because of your review, I am definitely going to buy this TV. you have earned yourself a like and a new subscriber 👌

[henrywinters]

The slight darkening to the corners of the screen is perfectly normal and you find it on all models, a replacement won't change anything. Panel lottery is to do with dirty screen effect where the screen can't show colours uniformly with some splotchy dirt, not just limited to 4 corners of the screen.

I bought this last week, just like you said for the football . Wanted an oled but I am blown away with this great deal.

[UltimaMan]

Massive coincidence here, I am upgrading from the same Samsung TV! Had it for ten years and it finally died today. Great review, thank you.

[graphicapemusic]

I just bought one of these for my xbox series x. First thing my wife said to me too was, wow that's so much brighter than out old TV

[atthelord]

You've actually convinced me to buy this :/ I looked at the specs, and this is a banger of a deal!

[danieldudley]

Just about a week late for me, I got a new LG TV about a week ago. Looking forward to seeing England and hopefully the US do well.

[MobileDecay]

I felt so relieved when you said you weren't gonna get super technical. I understand all that crap but it bores me to tears. I always lose focus and it becomes background noise. I leave with less knowledge when there's more info. Lol.

[louisefindlay]

Looks like a great TV. Getting DV and HDR10+ at that price point is awesome. How is the smart OS etc. to navigate and use? Does it support AirPlay and Homekit?

[Shahramkardan]

in canada its only around 400 including tax im thinking to grab one thanks for the video

[bryanjones]

Nice video. Came here after watching your U8K review just to see about the cheaper Hisense. BTW...How come the European model TVs have better stands?😅

[sudosaurus]

Great video Mark! I just purchased this and it’s arriving Saturday! 😃

[thenullco]

About to move house, and was about to push the button on a new 55" Black Friday deal... and then UP POPS YOUR FACE. This is a compelling deal... and would free up £500 for something else like speakers or a lot of popcorn.

[andysmyth]

Hisense brand is growing on me very quickly

[fosie]

What picture settings did you use on this tv for hdr gaming. Brightness contrast ??? I noticed you can't use local dimming and free sync while in game mode.

[bnewman]

Just got one from costco £500 with a 5 year guarantee 👍 can't beat it.

[freedom]

This tv would be the best for consoles. Especially ps5 and x

[markdavenportjr]

Excellent I will get this sucker for my Bday this coming May to fill up my empty wall space. :)
