Hisense U7K Unboxing And TV Review (Part 1 of 2) 

how do you like it so far sir? how's the viewing angle? looking to get the 75 (they don't sell u7k here In lower sizes)

@@conraddevera Where is here to you? Like I said, I bought a UK7 from Best Buy that was delivered and I just love the TV. At the time I bought my TV, the unit was sold by Amazon who deliver of course.....

@@daywalker5458 I'm on the other side of the world (Asia). our choices are somewhat limited. the u7k is only at 75in and 85 I think for u8k. the s90c here only goes up to 65. thanks, I'm looking at u7k as its good and cheaper. I am skeptical with Samsung as good as their tv's are

The 75" UK8 had an ADS panel so I wonder if the same holds true for the 75" UK7. It works great on the UK8 because it enough zones. Let me know when you get it. Thanks

No thanks on the calibration video, I showed the settings but I’m not an expert to put that out in the public

Do you know if it is HDCP 2.2 compliant? Or does it even have HDCP?

How was your experience till now ? i am considering the 55" as well

No regrets, very satisfied and the sound system it comes with is great a sound bar for me is not needed.@@AminHasan85

How is it holding up?

@AndreaRodriguezZepeda I have had no problems, great picture for money spent also the remote is simple enough you can scan channels without looking at remote which is a big bonus.

Oldie but goodie

People think OLED is the holy grail, I’m more of a mini led person because of that brightness

Lol always gotta one up the homies 😂

@@TechSteve compare side by side with OLED my room has g2 and my father room has u7 k I like g2 more the backs picture quality awesome

right, thanks to you sir, hisense just got a buyer

did you find the remote finder option?

Tap the power button on the TV for the options on the Google model

Google is geo tagged to search in your area just look it up online. My web browser is setup for us

60Hz

Plus movie formats and local dimming

It doesn’t

U7K isn't mini led though is it? Should be QLED as opposed to U6K being mini-led

@@fabi09 it’s used qled colors with mini led backlight it shows in the pictures on Amazon it’s better then just mini led cuz of the color balance with the blacks

​U7k is basically the U6k but with 120hz and both are mini led​@@fabi09

@@fabi09 U7K IS mini Led

​@@ajajpk in some regions this has mini led in some other regions this has full array qled panel

Thank you for posting this. I just ordered the exact same one. My current old LG 3D 55" has bezels so this will only be 6" wider and 2" taller. Thanks again as I was only looking at Amazon. Now I have 90days to see if it meets my PC monitor needs for my Media PC. Will be running a pretty good mid range 6700XT GPU/5800X 8 core CPU to it and have been wanting high refresh / vrr for a long time in the living room. Hopefully the size is big screen enough for the 9-10ft I sit from it.

Hi ! How has it held up ? I’m planing on buying one tomroow!! Any information would be appreciated!

@@45eno Hi ! How has it held up ? I’m planing on buying one tomroow!! Any information would be appreciated!

@@gambit550 I didn’t bother returning it. Picture is fine. Gaming is great at 120-144hz. I dislike the menus and software.

144Hz

How is the gaming experience ?

Go with the best u8k

Most will work like a 1080 Logitech, in the video I’m using this 4k model ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AHlzKxYC3ok.htmlsi=QzFkZzGyOI-KsGiV

I didn’t test too much because of my work load, when I get caught up I’ll have a 2nd look. I will say that if you have 1080p or better it’s fine. Best picture is up for debate because of personal preference, for example I like vivid but other despise it.

Google allows a basic setup and you don’t have to use wifi

How has it been working after months have passed?

@@AndreaRodriguezZepeda its working great, display is really nice , supports hdr and 120hz on ps5 smoothly.

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WN7yNZj3MNI.html no bass is omni directional, the video will answer your other questions

True RETRO people use CRTs or Plasma TVs from that time area..

@@TheRealJohnHooper I'm using a plasma but will upgrade to mini led

@@mrlopez7173 I have a Plasma TV too :D

Up to you, budget tv normally has a backlight system where the picture looks grey not inky black

Every region is different for some reason, maybe they don’t have licenses to stream in your area 🤦🏽‍♂️

I have to see them side by side. To be honest

@@TechSteve I appreciate the honesty 🫡

@@TechSteve I think I might go with the last year‘s 2022 U8H “1500 NITS VS 1000NITS” both Mini LED. I will have to look into the local dimming zones to make the decision.

I have more TVs to review but hopefully I can do a comparison in the next 30 days

It’s worth for gaming if you don’t game then no reason to get the 120 hz but if you play games on ps5 then yeah get the u7k also height peak brightness at 500 compared to like 300

Most ps5 games run at 60 Hz .

You don’t have to login to Google unless you want to use Smart features and download apps

Sounds normal

I took pictures of it. Store said its a faulty panel. I hope it is as it is never a flat full colour ...you can see lines down the screen most the time when I was watching a series lastnight. If its normal I can't believe this tv gets reviewed .

Not fake the us gets google models

I thought I was crazy I exchanged mine for another one and had the same problem thinking about getting the u8k instead

What is the defect?

@@user-bf6go9nf6g yeah I got the u7k 2x returned it for a u8k returned that and go the x90L

Pienso lo mismo en 2 días la compraré

Your player automatically should make it wide but the quality of DVD isn’t as good, I would suggest you check into streaming services

Thank you for the reply. Does the u8k upscale 480p better? Unfortunately there are a lot of good movies in my collection that never went to streaming or blu ray.

K series is 2023 the N series is 2024

@@TechSteve wow thats way over my budgetis there anything under $200 that would work? what do you recomend? thanks!

Lol i thought you were talking about filming videos… here’s the web cam ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AHlzKxYC3ok.htmlsi=np0AQkWyOepsIZ4x

Whichever is the better price

yep is the same model and it's like an ID for Canada.

do you recommend this over the x80k and x85k?@@SlashFever

Google is on US models

Sorry I don’t know CA models

Okay but what about the U7K. Any idea if it’s HDCP 2.2 or 2.3? I enjoyed your video. I will definitely be watching more.

Wrong person about warranty because I mainly use these units for videos not everyday life so I wouldn’t know long Jevity

How is your tv holding up? Any major issues?

You have to use the button below the tv logo on the actual TV, if you use the remote to to change inputs the remote is in your hand.

Thanks for responding but on your video the remote finder option to initially turn on the remote finder settings was in the input choices, the actual option to turn them on is not available on mine. and i bought them at costco it says its U75k is it the same model as U7k im worried i got a diffrent model @@TechSteve

Is this a USA model

USA models has Google TV

Dolby is only active with a Dolby Vision source like Disney plus

@@TechSteve ok thank you, got it

That's a Hisense question, I doubt it and sound like you just need to buy a Google chrome cast and call it a day

@@TechSteve oh sed here it has ips panel same 384 dimming zones but vidaa os with 3gb ram and 8gb storage

No man 144Hz

Xbox and ps5 will do 120hz, but not 144hz. Honestly there isn't a big difference with the extra 24hx

I haven’t reviewed a q7 to give you any information

Give it about a month for the dust to settle

@@Leonard.L.Churchsorry what did u mean by dust? Sorry don’t know much about tv. Im planning to get 75 inch tcl q7. But there’s an open box 65 inch u8H for 581$ excellent condition

@lyks1727 well that is an amazing deal. The phrase "wait for the dust to settle" means "wait a while after something was just invented to see how good it really is". But that deal is insane man, and the q7 is also looking great

Go with the TCL

Compare to what?

yeah same tv in Serbia have different type of bottom support and it looks little different

I explained that when I go over the inputs, it happens

C series isn’t sold in the United States 🇺🇸

Thanks for the answer

I haven’t used a firestick in a long time, but most 4k streamers you have an option to change the video output to SDR or HDR so you have to find that in the menu and turn off

@@TechSteve I checked fire stick settings. Color was on 8bit. Changed to 12 bit and checked picture mode and now I have all options. Thanks! Steve.

@@Vinrazz58thanks for coming back to state this. I don’t have this tv but I love when people come back to follow up things they find!

@@Vinrazz58I’m about to set mine up to. I too prefer to use my fire stick. Did you change to SDR or HDR? Does it matter which hdmi? Also did you change the setting you mentioned on the fire stick or on tv?

@@SC-qy6if hi. Apparently the color bit setting on my fire stick was limiting my available picture mode settings. Make sure your FS color is set to 12bit. I’m using HDMI 3 which is eARC. Make sure your HDMI output is set to enhanced. My set up is FS Plugged into my Onkyo receiver with receiver connected to HDMI 3 on Hisense U7K. I hope that helps you.

Nah 8bit frc here’s Costco version www.displayspecifications.com/en/model/47e63374

​@@TechSteve Thank you for taking the time to confirm this. This means the "Product Expert of Hisense" that answered my question about the U7K on the Best buy website was either accidentally telling me incorrect information or intentionally lying. It makes me lean towards an intentional lie. I say this for several reasons: First, I didn't just say, "What type of Panel does the U7K use?" I specifically said, "Does the U7K use a VA Panel or an IPS Panel?" and I also asked, "Does the U7K use a true 10-BIt Panel or does the U7K use an 8-Bit Panel based on the '8-Bit plus FRC' technology that only 'simulates' a 10-Bit HDR technology?" Hisense had a "Product Expert" respond by saying, "The U7K uses a 10-BIt VA Panel. Second, I asked that same question about the U8K on the Best Buy website. But Hisense never responded. I suspect the reason Hisense never responded is because they fact-based answer is that the U8K only uses an "8-Bit Panel" rather than a "True 10-Bit Panel." I'm disappointed this year. TCL has 10-Bit Panels, but they are all VA Panels. I don't like VA Panels, because of the poor viewing angles. I was also disappointed TCL did not use an ATSC 3.0 Tuner this year. On the other hand, Hisense used an IPS with their 75" model - which is the size and type of panel I wanted. Unfortunately, the Panel is only 8-BIt. Other reviews have said this "8-Bit plus FRC" technology allows the HDR technology to be "Simulated," but it does not work will with the "True 12-Bit" Dolby Vision technology. It is also frustrating that Hisense didn't copy off of TCL by having the eArc input on a separate input than the two HDMI 2.1 inputs. I also thought it was disappointing that the TCL QM8 has weaker "Processing" that results in disappointing "upconversion" and disappointing "posturization." Reviews even said that a midrange Sony has better "Processing" than both the TCL QM8 and Hisense U8K. The bad thing is that Sony doesn't have Mini-LED. Overall, it is very disappointing this year. 😞

Support is there for user questions not technical questions like how things are built. They are limited to a faq in a database I know this because I use to work in a call center as a sr. Cellphone tech and we only had the fluffy stuff in the database. Most customers wouldn’t ask these types of questions but watching videos like mine are opening peoples eyes vs getting the cheapest thing because of Black Friday sales. Lol

I used the TCL as a personal TV for a few weeks in my bedroom and I was actually impressed by it, you can do down a rabbit hole with all these spec but it’s was better than I thought. I switched back to my 75” LG QNED90 with all the blooming but it’s a great TV overall

​@@TechSteve Thank you for providing the Costco website specifications. Those are very nicely detailed. In the Costco specs, it points out the U7K can display MKV, MP4, and WMV for compressed video. This is nice, because I watch all of those with compressed movies I have on USB cards. It lists MP3, WAV, FLAC, and AAC as audio formats that it is compatible with; however, it does not list AC3 or DTS. This could potentially be a problem. I say this could potentially be a problem because I used a SDXC card to put on a phone in order to watch some mp4 movies last year. The video in mp4 format played; however, there was no audio at all. The reason why was because I used Handbrake to make it so the audio was in the AC3 format. An LG TV always played those mp4 movies in AC3 format without a problem, so I thought the phone would not have a problem. I definitely was wrong. I needed to go redo all of those movies in Handbrake in order to make it so the audio format was in AAC rather than AC3. After the files were made using mp4 video with AAC audio, it worked on the phone. This is why I'm concerned about not seeing AC3 and DTS on the Hisense U7K. Do you know if those formats of AC3 (Dolby Digital) and DTS will work with the U7K if someone tried to play an mp4 or mkv video from a USB card?

Yes
