Two months with the Hisense U7
Been using the Hisense U7 for about two months now after replacing a TV that was around five years old, and the upgrade has been way more noticeable than I expected.
Picture Quality
The video and pictures are absolutely stunning. The screen is incredibly bright, even with the sun coming through my windows, I don’t get the annoying glare I used to. (There is SOME but a noticeable difference between the old TV ) The colors pop, and the dark scenes actually look black rather than that washed-out gray you see on older TVs. Whether it’s sports or a movie, the clarity is impressive.
Smart Features & Google TV
One of my favorite things is the Google TV integration. It’s very fast and responsive. On my old TV, the menus would lag or freeze, but this one is snappy. It connected to my Google Home setup instantly, so I can control it with the rest of my smart devices without any hassle.
Other
Connectivity has been pretty convenient too. The U7 has four HDMI 2.1 ports, so I’ve got enough room for my console, streaming box, and audio setup without constantly swapping cables around. I also have a couple of other devices plugged in from time to time, so having the extra ports is genuinely useful.
I did have a small hiccup at the very beginning where HDMI ARC took a minute to sync up and recognize my speakers, but once it connected, it stayed solid.
Final Verdict
If you’re looking for a high-end experience without the high-end price tag, this is it. Highly recommended!
