Picture Quality
After screen size and resolution, the very next specification of a display that will impact your viewing experience is Color Gamut.
This TV features 90% DCI P3 color gamut coverage, which is equivalent to 122.73% sRGB coverage. The color quality on this TV will be Lifelike!
Understanding the Color Gamut Specification
Color gamut spec of a display indicates the range of colors that it can produce.
A panel with poor color reproduction will produce undersaturated/washed out colors that will spoil your immersive experience.
It is specified in different units - sRGB,sRGB (standard RGB), NTSC, DCI P3 Adobe RGB, rec.2020. It is upto the manufacturer which one they choose.
As for this TV its color gamut is specified using DCI P3.
But don't worry, below is a chart that will help you choosing a TV with good color accuracy.
After color gamut, the static contrast specification of a TV holds almost equal role in picture quality.
Why its important?
There are two types of contrast specifications for a TV. Static and Dynamic. We are interested in static contrast ratio. Dynamic doesn't matter much.
This specification tells the intensity of black levels. That is, a TV with SC ratio less than 1000:1 will produce black images something like this:
Apart from this, such TVs may suffer from backlight bleeds that will impact your experience — as shown below.
The image is an example of another display, it is not this oneStatic contrast ratio and resolution go hand in hand when it comes to details. To put it into perspective, a TV with low contrast ratio will show both dark gray and black as black, thus lesser detail overall.
This TV comes with a static contrast ratio of 4000 : 1., well enough to display deep blacks and eye-catching visuals. For the record, it also comes with local dimming backlight which is a plus.
HDR is also supported on this TV in form of Dolby Vision, HDR10, HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma) and HDR10+.
Coming to brightness, the peak luminance the TV can produce is 300 nits, which is powered by Direct LED (Full-Array Local Dimming) backlight.
Gaming Performance
Now if you are going to use a TV other than watching videos — say as a PC monitor or Gaming, you should take a TV with lowest input lag. For gaming, both input lag and response time impacts the performance.
The input lag on the Hisense 43A7G is 20 ms and its minimum response time is N/A. It is good enough for casual and non-FPS games but is not suitable for competitive or FPS games.
What is Input Lag and Why it matters ?
This lag is the latency at which your inputs changes the content of the screen. For casual Non-FPS games, input lag doesn't matter much.
But ideally, get a TV that features an input lag and response time of < 20ms.
Dimensions and Ergonomics
The TV measures 43 inches vertically and 37.76 inches horizontally.
It is just 2.91 inches thick. In total this TV weighs around 8.5 kgs (including stand). Without stand, it weighs 8.3 kgs.
