Hisense has made a name for itself as one of the best budget TV makers. Year after year, it delivers some of the best TVs built with superior brightness and excellent sound quality, all bundled into a value proposition that’s hard to match. The Hisense U7N Mini-LED TV, a $1,099 display corralling several premium gaming features and a slew of HDR compatibility atop the Google TV interface, continues this trend, but doesn’t quite reach the heights of the award-winning Hisense U8N.
Unlike its slightly costlier stablemate, some enhancements on the U7N were certainly overlooked, like the addition of two extra HDMI 2.1 ports, getting that input latency down below the 10ms mark, and limiting on-screen reflections. If those issues weren’t enough, the U7N also suffers from blooming and poor off-axis viewing, all due to its Mini-LED design.
