Picture Quality
After screen size and resolution, the next most important specification to look for in a display is its Color Reproduction, which is defined by its color gamut specification.
Hisense has not provided a color gamut specification for this TV. So we have to take a guess. As this TV features a big 75 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. Undoubtedly The color accuracy on this TV will be Lifelike! Meaning it will produce accurate colors by default.
Understanding the Color Gamut Specification
Color gamut spec of a TV is a measure of the range of colors that it can show.
In layman terms, this specification determines the ability of a display to produce accurate colors. A panel with low gamut coverage will miss out on some colors (such as deep red), the result would be a "washed out" picture quality.
It is specified in different units - sRGB(most popular), NTSC 1953, DCI P3 Adobe RGB, rec.2020. It is upto the manufacturer which one they choose.
But don't worry, here is a chart that will help you choosing a TV with good color accuracy.
After color gamut, you should look at the static contrast specification as it impacts the picture quality substantially.
Why its important?
There are two types of contrast specifications for a TV. Static and Dynamic. We are interested in static contrast ratio as dynamic doesn't matter much.
This specification tells the intensity of black levels. That is, a TV with static contrast ratio < 1000:1 may produce black images something like this:
Apart from this, such TVs may suffer from backlight bleeds that will affect your experience — as shown below.
The image is an example of another display, it is not this oneLike resolution, the static contrast ratio is also equally responsible for 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.
This TV comes with a static contrast ratio of 10000:1., good enough to produce deep blacks. For the record, it also comes with local dimming feature which is a plus.
Dolby Vision, HDR10, HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma) and HDR10+ are also supported on this TV.
Coming to brightness, it can go as bright as 1000 nits with the help of Direct LED (Full-Array Local Dimming Pro) backlight. This amount of brightness is good enough even for a room with sun's rays in!
Gaming Performance
If you are going to use the TV other than using it as a TV — like as a PC monitor or for gaming purposes, make sure to take a TV that features the lowest input lag. For gaming, both the input lag and response time impacts the performance.
Sadly, there is no specification for input lag on this TV. Now, since this is not a cheap TV from Hisense, we can expect an input lag of less than 20ms.
What is Input Lag and Why it matters ?
This lag is the latency at which your inputs changes the content of your TV. For casual Non-FPS games, input lag doesn't matter much.
Although for better experience, get a TV that has an input lag and response time of less than 20ms.
Ergonomics and Dimensions
Coming to ergonomics — VESA mount is supported on this TV with an interface size of 600 x 400 mm. Swivel, Tilt or Pivot features are not supported on this unit.
The TV measures 75 inches vertically and 65.98 inches horizontally. Speaking of thickness, it is 2.99 inches thick.
In total the TV weighs 38.2 kgs including stand. Without stand, it weighs 37.0 KGs. So plan your space accordingly.
