About this deal

As you can imagine, pricing is one of the most important factors of any purchasing decision. We can find the perfect product for our needs, that fits the brief in every single way. But if it doesn’t fit our budgets, we simply can’t (or at least shouldn’t) buy it. Inside this set is a digital tuner, with the Freeview Play service built-in. As ever, it makes for a usable EPG and a decent set of catch-up services, however, the VIDAA U4 Smart TV operating system comes up short on apps. Netflix, Prime Video and YouTube are all present, but notable absentees include Now TV, BT Sport, Apple TV, Google Play Movies & TV and Disney+. Redefine the sound of your living room with Dolby Atmos®, immersing yourself in the action with powerful audio flowing around you for a full cinematic experience. More information on quality can be found in this old but still very helpful article from Harvard Business Review. 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.

when sat head on, the image performance is very good and on a par with some much more expensive peers. And the Hisense’s HDR performance is likable. Colours are bright, well balanced, and punchy in HDR Standard mode. Complexions convince and are further refined by Dolby Vision. The kids of Spider-Man: Far From Home have punch and colour to their skin tone and it adds to the Hisense’s attractive picture. 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.Considering it's one of Hisense’s top-end TVs, there's no getting around the fact that the 55U7QFTUK is a disappointment. 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. Next up is material. Read through the product description for Hisense 50 Inch 50U7QFTUK 4K Ultra HD QLED TV with HDR to get an understanding of the materials the product is made from. Some materials will obviously be known for delivering better quality item than others. You might also have decided that you’ll only accept a product made from a particular material.

There’s none of the headline features here, so if a brand-new console is of interest then the Hisense is not optimised for it.

Dolby Atmos offers a great step forward in immersive sound. With a more engaging sound, you get involved in the action. Just pair with dolby Atmos-compatible with the media and get ready to be surrounded! Taking advantage of Atmos, the 50U7QFTUK also comes with an advanced parametric equalizer. This allows you to adapt the sound to the exact preferences. A cookie set by YouTube to measure bandwidth that determines whether the user gets the new or old player interface. 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. Along with HDR 10+ and Dolby Vision, the Hisense 55U7QFTUK is Dolby Atmos-enabled, but the modest two 10W speaker arrangement doesn’t do much to create a sense of space to the sound. Watching the Kiln prison break scene in Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol.2, the flying machine gun drones all sound far too close to the panel itself to add much excitement.The next step after looking at products in the same category, was to look at products from the same brand, Hisense. The next step was to try and narrow down our search even more. So we’ve already looked the prices of products in the Televisions category. Then we’ve also looked at the prices of products from Hisense. So this step combines the two and looks specifically at the price you’d expect to pay for Hisense branded products in the Televisions category. Unfortunately, there’s also a loss in terms of colour depth and accuracy. The crash scene on Xandar at the end of the film is a good place to spot this. The three way close-ups between the blue-faced Yondu, green-skinned Gamora and Peter Quill’s human complexion are off the mark. The balance between them is even but each feels slightly off the hue that they should be.

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.

Just before we get into the detail of analysing the price of this product, we want to briefly highlight the importance of setting yourself a budget before you spend too much time shopping around for a suitable product. It’s all too often that we get carried away when shopping and find ourselves buying a fantastic product, but probably actually overdelivers on what we need and therefore costs a lot more than we should have spent. So spend a bit of time looking around at the sort of price you can expect to pay for products in the Televisions category and use that alongside your own financial situation to set yourself a budget.

Once you turn the lights down, more issues surrounding the FALD and LCD technology become apparent with more blooming noticeable around things like subtitles and bright objects like white spaceships against the darkness of space. It is possible to mitigate against some of these issues and making sure your viewing environment is suitable for this type of TV display will help. Updates have made the U7QF better, but not completely absolved it of motion handling issues. It lags behind other manufacturers in this regard. Audio is funnelled through 2x 10W speaker system and there’s support for Dolby Atmos. This isn’t the immersive sound of soundbars and surround systems, but an attempt to produce better sound through the TV’s speakers.

Hisense makes use of a variety of different smart TV platforms, depending on the set you’re watching, including the third-party Roku and Android TV platforms. The U7QF, however, uses a proprietary OS called VIDAA U. Let’s start with the issue that caused the most grief with previous Hisense sets: motion. Initially the U7Q’s motion remained awkward and in Dolby Vision films there was smearing at the slightest of movements. We watch Spider-man Homecoming on 4K Blu-ray, and even small movements are blurry. There’s smearing in action scenes, but the effect is actually worse during close-up shots. Slight movements of a head, the type of which are frequent in any film or TV show, cause this TV issues. It's a trait that was fairly common of cheaper LCD sets a few years ago, but that we haven't seen for quite a while.Assembly of the TV is simple, requiring little more than slotting in the stand and tightening the screws. The stand juts out, and I can imagine would make placement of a soundbar awkward for smaller tables and stands. To wall-mount the set you’ll need a compatible VESA wall-mount. We didn’t have any issues at all with VIDAA which stands up against other providers such as Android. Hisense 50U7QFTUK uses a range of high-end technologies to deliver class-leading image quality. Quantum Dot Colour is closer to the original than ever before, with over a billion realistic colors. Full Array Local attenuation controls individual areas of the screen for darker, lighter contrast, providing excellent contrast. Wide Colour Gamut maximizes the range of colors for greater color diffusion. This TV has a problem with motion when watching 24fps content. Unfortunately, that includes most film and premium TV, whether played from a disc or streamed from a service such as Netflix, or through a media streamer. Price is another really important factor for analysing the quality of Hisense 50 Inch 50U7QFTUK 4K Ultra HD QLED TV with HDR vs other products in the Televisions category. It’s obvious, but you will need to set your expectations of quality based on your budget and the price of the product you’re looking at, against the price of alternatives.
