As technology enthusiasts explore and review the newest television models, trends emerge regarding the top choices across different categories. For consumers seeking quality without breaking the bank—and are willing to step up from purely “budget” options—the debate continues between TCL’s QM7 and Hisense’s U7N. The decision often comes down to individual preferences or attractive pricing—and currently, the Hisense U7N series is being offered at substantial discounts. Notably, the 75-inch U7N is available for a remarkable $859.99, reduced from $1,499.98, reflecting a 43% price drop—its lowest recorded price as noted by price-monitoring services.

The U7N was introduced last summer and is in direct competition with the QM7. This QLED model represents a noteworthy level of technology before transitioning to OLED screens. The U7N shines brightly in mid-range offerings, achieving peak brightness levels over 1,500 nits, and delivers accurate colors, as highlighted in PCMag’s commendable review. The Google TV interface is particularly appealing, facilitating effortless casting from mobile devices while also providing a plethora of free channels. Furthermore, this integration allows users to utilize Google Assistant and Apple AirPlay for easy TV control.

For gamers, the U7N features a commendable 6.2-millisecond input lag when gaming mode is activated. The 144Hz variable refresh rate (VRR) with AMD FreeSync Premium Pro enhances gaming visuals and smooths out fast-paced action, ideal for both gaming and sports viewing. If specifics like frame rates and resolutions matter, the Game Bar feature within Google TV offers quick access to these metrics and adjusts settings that gamers frequently utilize.

The chief concern regarding the U7N is that shadow details may occasionally appear slightly washed out; however, this is often an imperceptible issue for most users. At its current price, the U7N presents a better value than the QM7 and stands as a top-quality QLED television option available today.
