About this deal

Bezel-less’ is a bit of a daft description for the design of a television. Hisense isn’t the only company to use the word – but it’s just as nonsensical here as it is everywhere else. Of course the 65U7KQTUK has bezels around its screen – but they are, at least, nice and thin. See the screen from the front, and there’s really not much bezel visible at all. Even in profile, the screen surround is only a touch over 5mm. And it’s made of aluminium, which gives a mildly up-market appearance and feel. A dedicated subwoofer on the TV’s rear hits deeper than most TV sound systems too, providing a solid foundation for the potent midrange, while trebles sound clear without becoming too prominent.

There are no real shortages of LCD TVs on the market, but Mini LED tech is still fairly new and at the higher end of the market. You also want a set that handles all the available HDR formats, Dolby and dts audio as well as at least two HDMI 2.1 ports, gaming features like VRR, eARC for use with a soundbar and decent Smarts. There are plenty of Mini LED solutions that mainly have the same features, but slightly different brightness and HDR tone mapping on offer. The 65U7KQTUK uses Hisense’s bespoke VIDAA smart TV platform. Here it’s the – hey! – U7 version. It’s got every catch-up and streaming service app you could want, and quite a few you don’t, all easily rearranged to suit your preference. Quite unexpectedly, there’s some worthwhile content on Hisense’s own ‘VIDAA Free’ channel, even if you have to hunt for it. This very pleasant design language extends to the TV’s remote control handset. It too has a metal frame, and features some very sensibly contoured buttons covering pretty much all aspects of functionality. There’s a mic for use with voice-assistance, and buttons to the likes of Netflix and Disney+. 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. Game Mode needs to be turned on manually and when it is, input lag delivers a speedy 10.5ms. Hisense U7QF performance — Bright, colourful and detailed with the right settingsAnyway, the 65U7KQTUK is a 4K ULED TV with Quantum Dot technology, capable – so says Hisense – of reproducing over one billion colours.

Hisense also now provides a dedicated Game menu screen when you’re in play mode, from which you can switch to ultra-wide aspect ratios for compatible PC games or adjust the brightness of dark picture areas exclusively, to make hidden enemies easier to spot. Finally on the gaming front, the U7K takes just 13.1ms to render 60Hz graphics when running in its Game preset – a low enough number to make it hard for you to blame screen lag for coming last in a Call Of Duty deathmatch. 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. Switch to some lower-resolution content and, up to a point, the 65U7KQTUK proves a perfectly competent upscaler. 1080p stuff is decently detailed and defined, and if there’s a slight lessening of certainty where edge-definition and depth of field in particular are concerned, it’s a) predictable, and b) no impediment to your viewing pleasure.

Gamers are further indulged by half of the Hisense’s four HDMI inputs, as two of them are at 2.1 standard and compatible with 4K/144Hz, VRR, AMD Freesync Premium and ALLM. Gamers also get a ‘Game Bar’, which is a pop-up menu showing a lot of game-relevant information that you’d otherwise have to leave the game to access. Prices valid in stores (all including VAT) until close of business on 2nd November 2023. (Some of these web prices are cheaper than in-store, so please mention that you've seen these offers online.) As well as Dolby Vision and Vision IQ, this Hisense 65” TV also offers multi-format HDR – including HDR10+. HDR10+ offers scene-by-scene HDR mastering for the truest, most accurate HDR picture technology. Each scene is optimised, meaning the maximum amount of detail is shown – even in the brightest or darkest moments.

American customers are in the box seat here, obviously – but no matter the territory in which you’re shopping, there’s a disconnect between the way this TV is specified and its asking price. Off the top of my head, I can’t think of a similarly specified alternative that doesn’t cost considerably more than this. Design

The 65U7KQTUK does good work controlling on-screen movement, too. It’s really robust and authoritative, meaning even the most testing and/or unpredictable motion stays solid and believable. Even the dreaded televised sport stays coherent and stable – and there’s no sterner test than that. Nothing beats the big screen thrill of IMAX and now, thanks to IMAX enhanced, you can enjoy the power of IMAX on your TV, too. Used with IMAX certified 4K HDR content, IMAX Enhanced uses their proprietary digital remastering technology (DMR) to deliver ultra-vivid images. Designed in collaboration with filmmakers and studios, Filmmaker Mode lets you experience the cinematic vision, exactly as the director intended. Overriding the TV’s own motion and picture processing, Filmmaker Mode presents the correct aspect ratio, colour and frame rate – just as the filmmakers intended.

Hisense U7K review: Mini LED masterclass – without the - T3

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.Step down from Full HD stuff, though, and the Hisense throws the towel in somewhat. A big screen like this displaying some 720p content or less is always going to struggle, and the 65U7KQTUK lets picture-noise intrude, lets detail go astray and gives up entirely where testing on-screen motion is concerned. Sound Quality Many TV brands, including giants LG, Samsung and Sony, only tend to support either HDR10+ or Dolby Vision, not both. So it’s great to see Hisense leaving industry politics behind and simply ensuring that the U7K is equipped to receive the best version of any content you pipe into it. Dolby Vision IQ takes Dolby Vision to the next level, making it the ultimate HDR-type picture processor. Dolby Vision IQ version uses data within the signal and light sensors inside the TV to adjust the picture quality for the best contrast. This improves the picture’s brightness, without ‘washing out’ the depth. You get a consistent picture quality, however light or dark your room is. Whether you’re watching a brightly lit sports event or moody movie, Dolby Vision IQ adjusts to suit.
