Hisense 65-Inch Class QD7 Series QLED 4K UHD Google Smart TV (65QD7N, 2024 Model) - QLED, Native 144Hz, Motion Rate 240, Direct Full Array, Game Mode Pro, Alexa Compatibility

Excellent product, it has a superior resolution, easy configuration, finishes and details that make it look very good, the sound is excellent by itself, its operating system flows quickly and without errors so it is undoubtedly a perfect option if you want a good smart TV without spending a lot.

The Hisense 65QD7N has an IPS panel. If you research the difference between IPS and VA panels, you will be told over and over again that VA panels have a super high contrast ratio, meaning blacker blacks and whiter whites than an IPS panel. This is true. You will also be told that IPS panels have a wider viewing angle than VA panels. This is also true. If you read reviews about 65 inch TV sets, like reviews by the rtings web site, they will always give TVs with IPS panels a bad rating because it doesn't have the high contrast ratio that VA panels have. VA panels suffer from a VERY narrow viewing angle. All of the VA panel TVs I've seen only look good if you are viewing it from a point perfectly perpendicular to the center of the screen. The poor viewing angle of VA TVs is often times so bad that two of the three people sitting on a couch watching TV or playing video games will not be happy and will want to trade seats with the guy in the middle seat. TV reviews, like the rtings web site, will often times describe TVs with IPS panels as "terrible" because of the low contrast ratio, but they will rarely describe TVs with VA panels as "terrible" because of the narrow viewing angle. If you will be watching TV or playing video games on your 65 inch TV with a couple of other people, then the Hisense 65QD7N is a good choice, especially at the $399 price. Don't under-estimate the benefit of the wide viewing angle that this IPS panel gives you. And if you are a gamer with an xbox or similar, this TV rocks with native 144Hz 4K and Dolby Vision Gaming. HDMI ports 3 and 4 are both 4K 144Hz. HDMI ports 1 and 2 are 4K 60Hz. HDMI port 1 is used as the eARC port if you have a speaker system that needs it. But this TV also has a headphone out jack, so you can use the output from it as a "line-in" to typical powered stereo speakers. Technically speaking, the headphone out is not a "line level" signal, but it works as a line out -- you just have to adjust the volume to get it right. One thing about "edge-lit" IPS panels that often times freaks people out when they first look at it is the glowing backlight coming through around the edges. It makes people think the screen is defective. It's probably not -- that is typical for "edge-lit" IPS panels when the brightness is up and the panel is displaying near black at those places. In actual use, once you have the brightness and other settings adjusted best for the lighting in your room and you are actually watching TV or Game content, that "backlight bleed through" will be barely noticable and only in certain scenes -- and that's only if you are actually looking for it. I am really glad I finally found a big TV with an IPS panel, and at a bargain price. Nice!AndyH

If I could give this TV 6 stars I would. This is our 3rd, 75in TV and we absolutely love it. Setup is a breeze, easy to install stands, easy to follow setup instructions and easy to download apps. The picture quality is great. You can choose from different picture settings for color, sharpness, and warmth or configure your own which is nice. Sound quality is great and we love the backlit remote control. Helps us see the buttons at night. The TV is heavy but it’s 75 inches and that’s to be expected. There is a ton of functionality which we still need to explore but setting up our subscriptions was very easy. Delivery was great and arrived early. For anyone thinking about buying a Hisense Google TV, definitely give it a shot. The voice recognition is spot on which is impressive. For the price, the quality, sound, color, and features its definitely worth it and not just saying that to say that.

Note to XBOX users, you have to go into your settings and enable all the extras... It won't do it for you. After everything was configured correctly, I got Avowed into balanced mode and unlocked the refresh rate. With the settings maxed out, balanced mode is smooth, but not as much as I'd hoped given the tv specs. It's still a great picture... Blacks are rich and colors vibrant. HD tv looks great even in 1080.Cons*The remote volume change is slow and doesn't show a status bar when using an ARC soundbar.*The remote also has a bunch of bloat buttons that get in the way. I'll never understand why companies think these help. They don't. I get that they get to sell buttons that help pay for R&D but at what effect?*Speaking of bloat, lots of bloat in the Google OS. I bypassed wifi and all that during setup since I use a fire stick anyway (the kings of bloat hahaha).*Can't seem to find an info mode that shows the current picture resolution. This is pretty standard with all other tvs I own. Would also be nice to get an active frame rate as well, but I fear I'm asking too much with that.For the price.. you honestly can't beat it. I ended up adding the 4 year warranty offered by Amazon. I usually don't go with these but given the brand and the poor reviews of longevity, I thought it would be a risk worth taking.I'll update this review after a month or so when I've had some more time to play around with it.
