This can result in a smoother image with less motion blur as the refresh rate will be increased when displaying fast moving content. It's available in a range of sizes from 55 up to a gigantic 100 inches, and all sizes deliver a nearly identical experience. This kind of TV is about what you’d expect from a budget 4K TV launched in 2023 – you get 4K resolution, HDR support, DTS Virtual:X, and even HDMI eARC on top of familiar smart TV functionality. Like other Hisense TVs, it comes with a VA panel with deep blacks, but its local dimming feature is sub-par, struggling to keep up with fast-moving objects. You will be missing out on more full-featured HDR support by way of HDR10+ and HLG, and you won’t be getting fancier audio technologies like Dolby Atmos.

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. It offers the same great features as the Hisense U7N, including 144Hz gaming support and Wi-Fi 6e, and sits between the U7N and the U8N. This makes it a cheaper home entertainment alternative to very expensive models from the two aforementioned brands, especially as it supports both HDR10+ and Dolby Vision, as well as DTS advanced audio formats. Unfortunately, its viewing angle is disappointing, so it's not very well suited for a wide seating arrangement.

Especially if you’re a gamer: Hisense UK 4K TVs support VRR and ALLM, which oftentimes other budget sets won’t. The exception is the TV's 75-inch size, which has an ADS Pro panel, giving it worse contrast and black uniformity than the other sizes, but with a wider viewing angle. One of those technologies is a quantum dot layer that some TVs include, ensuring a wide color gamut. It also supports more video and audio formats and has much better image processing, making it better overall.

It also has fantastic reflection handling with very good HDR peak brightness, so it's no slouch in a bright room. The TV itself looks smart, it has very slim black bezels surrounding the display, with a tiny Hisense logo along the silver edge along the bottom.Some of the higher-end and newer Hisense models have mics built-in, so you can use the voice control by speaking directly to the TV or the remote. Bring the true cinematic experience home with support for all the latest HDR formats of HDR10+, Dolby Vision™.

Those short of space – or looking for a second set for a bedroom or kitchen – can opt for the 43-inch mode, while those with the means can go big with the 85-incher.While the Hisense A7GQ is compatible with HDR10, HDR10+, HLG and Dolby Vision flavours of HDR, it is not really bright enough to really display HDR at its best. The classic British comedy Hot Fuzz looked sharp and detailed – with none of those grainy filters you often get with sub-standard upscaling – while also showing off the U7QF’s exceptional brightness control. There are easy to use menu and directional keys as well as direct one-press access to apps such as Freeview Play, Netflix and Prime, to name three.

It also cropped Youtube videos like it was overscanning, but with no option to change that anywhere to be found.

Most notably, this model doesn't have local dimming to enhance its contrast and is dimmer than the more expensive alternative. It's an impressive TV with a similar Mini LED backlight to the Hisense U8/U8K, although it has fewer dimming zones, isn't as bright, and its contrast isn't quite as good. Though there are commonalities between the lines, like smart functionality, voice control, VESA mounting, and HDMI ARC, the more expensive lines support HDR, 4K, different audio technologies, and even different display technologies outside of LED.
