Smart TVs have gotten cheaper over the years. A good 4K TV can cost anywhere between Rs. 25,000 to Rs. 40,000, even models by prominent TV brands. While most of these models sport good picture quality, they often miss out on premium features like higher refresh rate panels. This is a feature that matters a lot for gamers who want responsive, dynamic, tear-free gaming experiences. Such users often have to buy TVs well above Rs. 80,000 to unlock their gaming console’s or PC’s potential, which can be a bit of a stretch for many, considering how expensive gaming hardware can be.
Hisense is a brand that could save gamers from spending a fortune. Its new U7H is currently the only budget TV offering a 120 Hz refresh rate panel with gaming-oriented features. Surprisingly, it sells at Rs. 55,990*, a price that is way lower than most fast refresh rate panel TVs. But, are these features enough to make it a good pick for everyday customers? Let’s find out.
Though Hisense’s U7H claims to be a budget TV, its features are on par with the brand’s high-end models. While most affordable TVs come with 16 million colour support, the U7H supports over 1 billion colours. Having 1B colour support enables a wider colour gamut and makes the panel more accurate. There is also support for Quantum Dot Colour Technology, a feature that was limited to higher-end TVs. This additional filter brings in more colour accuracy with higher levels of brightness.
Like premium TVs, the Hisense U7H also comes with HDR10+ support. This means you can enjoy HDR content on supported streaming platforms. However, the star feature of the Hisense U7H is its 120 Hz refresh rate panel. A fast refresh rate panel makes gaming way smoother than standard 60 Hz panels.
Some may find TVs with 120 Hz panels at this price. However, most lack the HDMI 2.1 port the U7H has, for experiencing true 4K 120 Hz gaming. This TV is perfect for gamers who have longed to experience their PlayStation 5’s or Xbox Series X’s complete performance. The TV also doesn’t disappoint PC gamers either. It comes with AMD FreeSync Premium support for tear-free gaming. Additionally, the TV also supports Auto Low Latency Mode which promises low input lag for a better gaming experience.
The U7H has a full-array backlighting setup for accurate local dimming and better contrast. The TV is powered by Hisense’s Hi-View Engine which uses AI for content upscaling. The brand is offering the U7H in 55-inch and 65-inch screen sizes. Both models share the same set of features.
Apart from two HDMI 2.1 ports, the TV has a pair of HDMI 2.0 ports supporting a 60 Hz refresh rate. These ports are perfect for connecting a set-top box or a laptop. The TV also has two USB ports, so you can easily play content from storage devices. For audio, it comes with an Optical In port, so you can easily connect a soundbar or a home theatre system. On the wireless side, the Hisense U7H comes with Wi-Fi 802.11ac and Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity. There is also a LAN port for wired network connectivity.
The Hisense U7H’s design also doesn’t fail to impress. The TV is sleek and easily blends with home interiors. The bundled stand is also sturdy and can be installed either closer to the centre or closer to the edges of the TV. All the ports are placed toward the right edge of the TV so they are easily accessible. The U7H also ships with a wall-mounting kit, in case you prefer a wall-mounted setup.
The Hisense U7H 4K TV runs on VIDAA OS, offering a neat and clean UI experience. It comes pre-installed with popular streaming services like Amazon Prime Video, Netflix and Disney+ Hotstar. There is also an inbuilt app store for downloading additional apps. This OS offers tons of smart features like Universal Search, so you can quickly look for content across various streaming apps without wasting time browsing apps individually. The OS also recommends content based on your viewing history. The TV also comes with Alexa support, allowing you to play content using voice commands.
Though shopping for a budget 4K TV has gotten easier, options for a budget gaming TV never existed. Hisense has filled this void with its new U7H offering a 12 0Hz refresh rate panel and HDMI 2.1 ports offering 4K 120Hz gaming. The TV’s premium picture quality with its long list of features makes Hisense U7H a perfect budget-friendly pick for gamers. The TV is now available at www.reliancedigital.in.
