I’ve been using the U7K ( 55” ) for 4k 144hz PC gaming. It is amazing. And packs a heck of a lot more features than a higher priced 27” 4k 144hz gaming monitor. Highly recommend if in search for a gaming tv that packs alot of features.
Great review we need more of a south africam context. Could you do a comparison of the tcl c845 and the local competition that doesnt cost an arm and leg
This is a great channel that should be followed by anyone living in South Africa at least . Well done . Can you please tell me if you read this , which one upscales DSTV signal better , u7k or u8k , and how's the upscaling in general ? Thank you in advance.
This was a much needed review. I was very worried after seeing all the google tv american reviews, was starting to think i bought a fake model. you did justice to my anxiety.
It’s a decent TV especially for high frame gaming. It does not however upscale DVDs well, my Sony Bravia blows it out of the water in that aspect, but it was fried during a power surge. With the insurance money this TV was the next best thing on the market for the price. I definitely like it.
Hi there...great review especially for us that only find American reviews and feel misled when we buy the SA counterpart. Quick question...is the PC 144hz at 4k glitch fixed? If not, does this mean that i can only do PC at 4k 60hz? I didn't quite get that part and I plan to get the TV mainly for my gaming PC which uses NVIDIA GPU.
Hi! Thanks for watching! The PC 144Hz bug was related to AMD GPUs so you should be fine if you use NVIDIA. I am not sure if they have even fixed the bug yet tbh. The TVs get picked up after my review so I often don't get to test them again.
Hey Man this is a great video, just found your channel happy to see a SA home boy with quality content. Would you recommened a U7k over last years U8H if prices were the same? ( i have a OLED that I use for Gaming, so this will be mostly for watching Content etc)
Hi thanks for watching! Glad I could help cater to some locals! The U7K definitely has some nice improvements but the U8H is overall a brighter TV for HDR content. The mini LED pro tech definitely makes a big difference here. So much brighter. You'll notice the difference when watching content. It is a tough one because the U7k has improved the dimming but doesn't get as bright as the U8H. I would say if you're using the TV for just watching stuff and you appreciate HDR content and all the specular details that come with it, I would do the U8H just for the extra kick in brightness.
@@GLITCHEDZA awesome man, thanks for getting back to me, picked up the U8h at Hirsch's today for R15k! ( was their floor demo, and the last one in Cape town)
Great and very detailed review. I want to buy this but black levels are important to me as I do a lot of nighttime/dark room viewing. Would you say the black/contrast levels are sufficient?
Thanks for watching! So there is bloom. It’s sadly unavoidable. Some content handles it better than others. In very dark scenes with bright individual light sources, you’ll see this bloom around the lights, for example. However, when it’s well-graded HDR content, it looks incredible. The bloom can often get in the way of contrast levels. But it’s likely some of the best contrast you’ll find on an LED TV. I use a Sony X90J and there are times where dimming looks wild and contrast is very deep. But times where it’s obviously blooming. I learnt to live with it. This Hisense TV offers a similar experience and with time, you won’t even notice the odd bloom. Hope this helps.
@@GLITCHEDZA Really appreciate the insight. I'm torn between this and the U8K, as I prefer VA panels to the IPS versions (viewing angles aren't a problem for me). This has been helpful. Thank you!
If it runs Android it should be in the Picture Settings. Usually under Panel Brightness. Also check if there's an energy saving hub. I know my Sony puts the setting there as well.
Hi... Great review. I purchased the tv and it's excellent. Are the gaming settings listed on your website for ps5? I also find with game mode on alot of the settings like noise reduction etc are greyed out. Thanks
Thanks for watching. Yes the gaming setting should cover all modes including PS5. It is also normal to have some settings disabled when using Game Mode. They are turned off automatically.
I haven't had time with those TVs to be honest but from what I see, the Q70c is more in line with the U8K from Hisense. I have a review going up on that in the next few hours.
Sorry for the delay. There are a few things the U7K does better. More dimming zones, and better gaming features. However, the U8H is a much brighter TV. So depends on what you're looking for in the TV.
The Samsung Q90C is not a good TV tbh. It is the lower-end model on the market. Doesn't have local dimming or HDMI 2.1. The U7K is levels better than it. Supports HDMI 2.1 and local dimming. Also has Mini LED. It is much much better.
@@GLITCHEDZA I'm looking for a TV.. but.. this one is a VA isn't it? I need better viewing angles. What's a good tv that comes close to this one and has all the 120hz or 144hz low ms stuff. Price range £500-900 but preferably want to spend as little as possible.

Are you using the SA model?...and the 4k at 144hz, is your PC Nvidia or AMD because i heard on the review that the 4k 144hz has issues on nvidia pc
As someone who purchased a u7k outside the US, in malaysia, this is probably the most accurate review of this model for my market. Tqvm.
Thank you for watching! Glad I could help!
Such a gorgeous TV! Waited for this vid
Thanks for the upload looking forward to your U8K video.
Great review we need more of a south africam context.

damn this channel is underrated
This was a much needed review. I was very worried after seeing all the google tv american reviews, was starting to think i bought a fake model. you did justice to my anxiety.
Haha! Glad I could help! Hope you’re still happy with the TV at least?
Which tv would you recommend U7K or tcl c805 and why? Thanks..

This definitely needs to be bought on a Black Friday special 😂😂😂 nonetheless so happy with the performance of the U7K i guess one must skip the U6K.

@@pierrebotha3080was that 55 or 65 inch? Thank you .
@@pierrebotha3080you could have picked up u8k in 65 for 16K in capetown brand new 😊
Great video! Thank you! Do you happen to have the proper calibration settings for the U7K?

Is the U7K better than samsung Q60b????
I have the US version of the U7K, can't find a backlight setting though
If it runs Android it should be in the Picture Settings. Usually under Panel Brightness. Also check if there's an energy saving hub. I know my Sony puts the setting there as well.

Which store did you buy your U7K and U8K from?
We didn't purchase it. It was sent to us from Hisense. But I have seen the TVs on sale at Takealot.
@@GLITCHEDZA That is cool I have also seen it on TakeAlot but was looking for the 55 inch version.
Your take on this vs Samsung Q70c vs TCL C845
I haven't had time with those TVs to be honest but from what I see, the Q70c is more in line with the U8K from Hisense. I have a review going up on that in the next few hours.
How does this behave with ghosting and blooming? Do you recommend it over a Tcl q750g?
Is the 75inch in SA also ips? The us the 75 and 65 have different panels
Yes it is an IPS. Only the U8K has a VA panel. All U7K sizes are IPS.
Nice video. What is the peak brightness in a 10% or 25% window?
Thanks for watching. 10% was 651 and 25% was 789.
The buffet plate is 12.50
is the u7k better than last years u8h ?
Sorry for the delay. There are a few things the U7K does better. More dimming zones, and better gaming features. However, the U8H is a much brighter TV. So depends on what you're looking for in the TV.
How many inches is your tv?
65"
TCL c755 or U7K?
@@khainzgocongo5610what do you think
So this should be the same as the Australian model?
I think it is. Usually an easy way to tell is if the stands are the same.
the spec is similar with what u can find in south east asia...
Hey bud, how would you compare this to something like a Samsung q60c?
The Samsung Q90C is not a good TV tbh. It is the lower-end model on the market. Doesn't have local dimming or HDMI 2.1. The U7K is levels better than it. Supports HDMI 2.1 and local dimming. Also has Mini LED. It is much much better.
@@GLITCHEDZA Thanks bud, appreciate the input
@@GLITCHEDZA I'm looking for a TV.. but.. this one is a VA isn't it? I need better viewing angles. What's a good tv that comes close to this one and has all the 120hz or 144hz low ms stuff. Price range £500-900 but preferably want to spend as little as possible.
With they would reply to emails and messages.....
Will you review the U7N?
Hoping to!
@@GLITCHEDZA when do you think you will. I’m looking at buying it or the TCL C755 or the Sony x85l and I’m not sure which one to get 🤔
Finally
Is the 65inch ips?
Yes
It’s not ips
@@ihmpall It is IPS here. Only VA panel is in the U8K.
You forgot very important information, Hisense has a 3 year replacement warranty, but they called "higher standards" just 1 year!?
