Hisense U75QG TV review: Impressive punch, minimal compromises

You really don’t need any more brightness than this for your current video pipeline, which may be why the lively U8QG felt like overkill to me. The U8 still looks better in sunlit rooms, especially with direct reflections, but for most people, the U7 has enough power for the foreseeable future. Even SDR content like Fire Dragon Attack Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows It seems to come out of the screen, and looks more like HDR.

This is matched by the vibrant colors of quantum dots in action movies such as Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2favorite cartoons like Encantoand nature documents such as Our planet. Sometimes, skin tones and other colors can look a little muted in the cool Dolby Vision Dark mode, but switching to DV IQ pushes them to eye-catching levels.

The U75QG’s screen uniformity is another improvement over its predecessor, evident in both demo tests and real-world viewing. I saw some dimming in the corners (AKA vignetting) and a few minor backlight bars in some content, but the TV was mostly free of noticeable screen distortions, even in difficult images like the grass in live sports or a sunny horizon.

It’s an impressively loaded package that makes the latest U7 among the best value offerings I’ve tested this year. The streaming issues were annoying and I hope Hisense resolves them quickly. Otherwise, if you’re looking for a bright, beautiful TV for under $1,000 on sale (or under $700 for a 55-inch TV), this is the perfect choice on new demand.
