The 65U7G is a 65 inch 4K TV from Hisense. It was launched in 2021. It features a 10-bit IPS panel with Anti-glare/Matte finish. It can achieve a max resolution of 3840 x 2160 @ 120 Hz with a pixel density of 68 ppi.
Picture Quality
After screen size and resolution, the very next specification of a display that impacts picture quality is Color Gamut.
This TV doesn't come with a color gamut specification, so we have to take a guess.
Now, since the TV features a 65 inch screen, it won't come with a cheap panel, so here we can assume its equivalent sRGB coverage to be 90-100% or above. The color accuracy on this TV should be Lifelike! It is capable of producing accurate colors.
Understanding Color Gamut
Color gamut specification of a TV is the measurement of the range of colors that the display can display.
Meaning, this specification determines the ability of a TV to produce accurate colors. A display with low color gamut coverage will miss out on some colors (such as deep red), the result would be a "washed out" picture quality.
Different manufacturers use different measurement standards to specify color gamut. Such as — sRGB, NTSC 1953, DCI P3 to name a few.
But you don't need to worry about that, below is a chart that will help you choosing a TV with good color accuracy.
Now, after color gamut, the static contrast of a TV also impacts its picture quality.
What is Static Contrast ratio ?
A TV with low static contrast ratio will not produce deep blacks and can bleed backlight as below:
The image is an example of another display, it is not this oneThe static contrast ratio of above TV is rated 800:1. So make sure you get a TV with a static contrast of >= 1000:1. More is better.
Static 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, so lesser detail overall.
If given a choice, I will prefer a FHD TV with high contrast ratio over a 4K TV with low contrast ratio.
This TV features a static contrast ratio of 8000:1., well enough to achieve deep blacks and eye-catching visuals. The panel comes with local dimming technology which is a plus.
Dolby Vision, HDR10, HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma) and HDR10+ are also supported on this TV.
Coming to brightness, the peak luminance the Hisense 65U7G can achieve is 1000 nits, powered by Direct LED (Full-Array Local Dimming) backlight technology. This amount of brightness is good enough even for a well-lit room!
Gaming Performance
If you are going to use the TV other than using it as a TV — say as a PC monitor or Gaming, you would want to take a TV that features the lowest input lag. For gaming however, both input lag and response time affects the performance.
Unfortunately, Hisense did not specify the input lag on this unit. But since this is not a cheap TV from Hisense, input lag on this TV could be 20ms or below.
What is Input Lag and Why it matters ?
This lag is the amount of time at which your device inputs changes the content of your TV. For casual Non-FPS games, input lag doesn't matter much.
But ideally, get a TV that has an input lag and response time of less than 20ms.
Dimensions and Ergonomics
The TV measures 65 inches vertically and 56.97 inches horizontally. It is just 3.46 inches thick. In total the TV weighs approximately 20.0 KGs including its stand. Without stand, it weighs 19.5 KGs.
Now, coming to ergonomics — a VESA mount with interface size of 300 x 200 mm is provided for wall-mounting. Swivel, Tilt or Pivot features are not supported on this unit.
