About this deal

If you have a 4K player and discs capable of both HDR10+/Dolby Vision, I’d say the U8Q is better suited to the latter. Colours are more on point, as are textures, and the tonally its darker, which in Doctor Sleep makes for a more convincing picture. Dolby Vision Bright and Dark modes are available alongside a custom version. There’s some careful shading of these parts of the picture and some decent light and dark detail. The depth and solidity to the image is enhanced by the Dolby Vision Dark picture mode, which gives added subtlety to Dolby Vision content. Supporting the current industry standards for High Dynamic Range of HDR10 and HLG, detail in the darkest areas of a picture aren't lost whilst bright areas don't blow out.

Hisense U7QF QLED TV review | TechRadar

The top-left app on the home screen is Netflix, and it’s rather odd that it’s the only app whose position you can’t change. During setup, we were even presented with a prompt to watch Netflix, making it abundantly clear that the dominant TV streaming service had paid a premium to maintain pride of place on 2020 Hisense TVs. The U8Q does not factor in HDMI 2.1, so remove VRR, ALLM, HFR (4K@120Hz) and eARC from the equation. There are no buzz-worthy modes in Filmmaker Mode or Dolby Vision IQ either, so if you’re not concerned by any of those features here’s what the U8Q has to offer. All forms of HDR are supported in HDR10, HLG, HDR10+ and Dolby Vision. Hisense says the panel can achieve a peak brightness of 1000 nits, but I’d imagine it’s less than that figure. Nevertheless, there’s a brightness and punchiness to 4K HDR sources that gives a good impression of what HDR can do. Max light output HDR (high dynamic range) while displaying small white square taking up 60% of the screen (measured in Nits)

Switch to standard-def content from the built-in tuner and the Hisense copes much better, largely because the higher frame rate of the signal requires less processing from the TV, and the motion smearing issue is almost gone. Subtitles and audio description information displayed on electronic programme guide more info panel With 4x more pixels than traditional Full HD, Hisense’s 4K UHD resolution delivers breathtaking picture quality and pin-sharp clarity. There’s an aspect of personalisation to the VIDAA interface with app recommendations and a peak at what’s trending for those with Netflix accounts. VIDAA is also Chromecast-able for flinging content at the TV. Alexa is built in, so the TV can be controlled by your voice if you fancy a chat.

We’re told these features are in “the early stages of development”, but for now it’s probably better to give them a wide berth. You want an affordable 4K TV that supports all the main HDR formats: One great aspect about the U8Q is that it fits in all the main HDR formats and has enough brightness to make HDR content pop. Get closer to reality and experience a wide colour gamut of up to 100% (typical value) under the DCI-P3 standard for smoother gradients and more vivid and realistic reds, greens and blues. The rest of the VIDAA U4 experience is basically fine, and if that sounds like damning with faint praise, then it probably is. It’s usable, responsive and pleasant looking but, as with many TV UIs, we aren't convinced that the content suggestions are all that helpful, particularly when they require subscriptions and rental fees to access them. We do, at least, like that the content is grouped by genre and that it’s made clear which service they’re on before you select them. The Hisense U7QF is a very good midrange LED LCD that uses Quantum Dot technology and also has Dolby Vision, HDR10+, HLG and HDR10 capabilities along with Dolby Atmos sound onboard. The smart TV system is intuitive and fast with a decent selection of apps as well as Freeview Play and all the UK catch-up services. Gaming input lag is also decent at 17ms but it doesn’t have all the HDMI 2.1 goods for VRR or ALLM.There is a Game Mode and switching it on (manually) brings latency down to very speedy and consistent 14.2ms. ARRAffinity cookie is set by Azure app service, and allows the service to choose the right instance established by a user to deliver subsequent requests made by that user. By and large the Hisense U8Q is an attractive-looking set. Available in 55- and 65-inch models, the bezel is unobtrusive, and the build quality is what I’d call robust. From the V-shaped pedestal – which unless you have a compact soundbar does restrict placement of sound systems in front of the TV – to the fetching material that covers the integrated front-firing speakers, the U8Q is a well put-together set.

If you are an enthusiast you will be aware of the downfalls with LCD technologies and using them in a dark room, and there is no difference here, but as a living room workhorse the Hisense is very good indeed. The vast majority of consumers will never push the U7QF hard enough to really find all the niggles we did and as such it will be a perfect choice for many. Viewing angles do mean it isn’t really suited to those sitting well off-axis, but when sat head on the image performance is very good and on a par with some much more expensive peers. The video processing in the Hisense U7QF is powered by the Hi-View Engine which helps with motion and scaling of images. We found the upscaling to be good with only the odd instance of ringing around fine lines in some test patterns, but this was not visible in the vast majority of HD content we viewed.
