About this deal

Even better, the Hisense 65U7KQTUK features a built-in subwoofer for a deeper bass response and smoother balance. SDR HD colour gamut is also decent with some accuracy to the standard and saturation points tracking close to where they should be in the majority of cases. However, this is dampened somewhat by the hard clipping and over-brightening of the PQ curve which does detract from the overall HDR10 experience.

Give it something appropriate – a UHD Blu-ray disc of No Time to Die with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos enhancement, or HDR10-assisted Gran Turismo 7 via a PlayStation 5, for instance – and the Hisense is capable of very convincing and complete image-making. The stand juts out, and I can imagine would make placement of a soundbar awkward for smaller tables and stands. Moving to HDR10 (including HDR10+) content with the Hisense and we come up against a few little issues concerning how the television tone maps to different mastering display metadata.You’ll know if a show or film is in Dolby Vision when the logo pops up, and the U7Q is at its best in this mode with less blooming, better colours and black levels.

However, this does also mean that some blooming is still visible, especially when watching in the dark with bright objects in front of a dark background, such as subtitles. Thanks to the ‘Hi-View’ quad-core processing engine, the screen is able to handle all high dynamic range standards - with Dolby Vision IQ and HDR10+ Adaptive particularly welcome - and it's IMAX Enhanced and Filmmaker Mode-certified too. A smart TV interface that occupies the whole screen is never especially welcome, of course - but at least this one is easy to customise and doesn’t take forever to start making decent recommendations. It too has a metal frame, and features some very sensibly contoured buttons covering pretty much all aspects of functionality.Dolby Vision IQ takes Dolby Vision to the next level, making it the ultimate HDR-type picture processor. To be fair, it does pretty good work when upscaling 1080p, but anything lower than that and the Hisense really doesn’t look like it can be bothered. Anyway, the 65U7KQTUK is a 4K ULED TV with Quantum Dot technology, capable – so says Hisense – of reproducing over one billion colours.

Hisense 65U7K review: an enjoyable mid-range Mini LED | What

The Hisense U7QF wasn’t built with the PS5 or Xbox Series X in mind, so you won’t find High Frame Rate (4K/120Hz), Variable Refresh Rate or Auto Low Latency Mode. Yes, it could do with some backlighting, but in every other respect it’s one of the more upmarket remote controls you’re likely to encounter. Admittedly it doesn’t have Dolby Vision HDR, but it’s a gloriously accomplished TV to watch and not a chore to listen to either. Audio or video, it doesn’t matter; you can rely on Hisense to take any expensive new tech and democratise it.

It sounds rather obvious, but the reason we say this is that we’d recommend a soundbar for the U7QF, but the awkward stand design means you’ll need even more space to accommodate both the TV and an external sound system. The hope is, of course, that the Mini LED and local dimming light controls will enable the screen to deliver more brightness and contrast than regular LED TVs. The U7K doesn’t appear quite as bright as its 1000 nit claims, it has to be said, and it does sometimes feel the need in some of its punchiest picture presets to dim small bright highlights of a picture to try and limit the obviousness of potential backlight blooming.

Each scene is optimised, meaning the maximum amount of detail is shown – even in the brightest or darkest moments. The Hisense U7K design is really quite surprising with a neat and tidy look that uses decent materials to give a more expensive feel. Low frequencies are a little underpowered and undernourished, while the top of the frequency range is rolled off in quite obvious style.All the main HDR formats are here, which means HDR10, HLG (used by iPlayer and Sky Q), along with HDR10+ and Dolby Vision. Dolby Vision is much more successful as it uses dynamic metadata which tells the TV how to map the content to its capabilities. The Hisense U7K measured 585 nits on an industry-standard 10% window and 523 nits fullscreen in the most accurate Filmmaker Mode. The panel edges look and feel like aluminium with the panel rear and stand looking metallic, but actually being made from plastics.
