Hisense: the only way to watch UEFA Euro 2024

UEFA Euro 2024 promises to be a treat for football fans, but to see the tournament at its best you’ll need a TV or projector that’s up to the task. Official tournament partner Hisense has a range of superb models to suit all tastes, whether you’re looking for the ultimate big screen experience complete with multi-channel surround sound, advanced features like Mini LED PRO and a dedicated AI powered Sports Mode, or a projector with a screen size of up to 300 inches.

And with extras like Quantum Dot Colour, Dolby Atmos, 144Hz VRR, Filmmaker Mode and Dolby Vision HDR, they’re perfect for when the match has finished and it’s time to unwind with some movies or gaming.

Hisense U8N: bring the stadium home

Thanks to its Mini LED PRO technology, the Hisense U8N brings incredible contrast and brightness that reveals an astounding level of detail – you’ll see every blade of grass on the pitch. And with Hisense’s proprietary Hi-View Engine PRO performing real-time frame-by-frame analysis, every second of the game will be optimised to look its best.

Summer isn’t the best time to watch daytime sport on TV, due to the sun reflecting off the screen. But the U8N’s Low-Reflection Screen makes reflections a thing of the past, so you can concentrate on the match with no distractions. This goes hand-in-hand (or should that be foot-in-football-boot?) with Dynamic Tone Mapping Pro, which automatically adjusts the picture’s contrast and brightness, so what’s on screen is always picture perfect. With the lifelike HDR performance that this feature enables, you’ll feel like you’re in the stadium, in the best seat in the house.

With 1600 local dimming zones on the 65-inch model, and over 2000 on the 75-incher (plus a staggering Mini LED HDR 3000 rating), the U8N will give you vibrant colours, deep blacks, and sharply-defined lines. Coupled with the Multi-Channel Surround 2.1.2CH immersive sound (including a new front-firing speaker and powerful twin subwoofers) and Dolby Atmos, it brings the match day experience to your lounge like never before.

Hisense U7N: a true all-rounder

The Hisense U7N is an all-round star and official TV for UEFA Euro 2024 – with sizes ranging from 55 inches all the way up to an incredible 100 inches, it really is the TV for everyone. Like the U8N, it uses Mini LED Pro technology to devastating effect, with the same Hi-View Engine PRO providing frame-by-frame analysis.

There’s more. Dynamic Tone Mapping PRO enhances contrast and colour accuracy even more, making even the subtlest of details visible, really adding to the sense that you’re right there in the stadium. It’s all part of Hisense’s Total HDR Solution (which also encompasses the HDR10+ and HLG formats of HDR) – an advanced way of adjusting the picture on-the-fly for deeper colours and brighter highlights.

Quantum Dot Colour technology provides over 1 billion vibrant colours, making the beautiful game look more beautiful than ever, while also adding clarity and depth. And IMAX Enhanced and Dolby Vision IQ deliver unparalleled HDR performance that adapts to your room’s lighting conditions, so you’re guaranteed a clear view whether sunshine is glaring through the window or nighttime has fallen.

And with a variable refresh rate (VRR) of up to 144Hz, motion will be buttery smooth, far exceeding the 120Hz maximum of most TVs. That – along with AMD Freesync Premium Pro – also makes it perfect for PC gaming after the match.

Hisense C1: cinema-sized football

For a big screen experience like no other, you need the Hisense C1 Smart Mini Projector. The world’s first ever mini projector equipped with Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HLG formats of HDR, it will render 4K Ultra HD images with stunning contrast, and with a picture size of up to 300 inches across, it will put you right at the heart of the action. And if you’re moving it to a smaller room, or don’t have space to accommodate such a gargantuan screen? No problem. Its picture can shrink down to a more modest 65 inches, making it versatile enough for every situation.

Drawing on a palette of over 1 billion colours, it’s equally at home rendering stunningly bright shirts as it is subtler skin tones. Calibration is a cinch thanks to the AutoMagic AI adjusting system, and with 1600 Lumens of brightness, you’ll see the action clearly in all conditions.

Dolby Atmos is also on board for a more immersive audio experience, while the JBL speakers provide punchy bass and clear treble, so you’ll hear every kick of the ball and shout from the crowd.

Set it up in the garden, invite the neighbours round and enjoy the action as if you were there yourself.
