Launched in the year 2022, the 85U7H is a 85" 4K TV from Hisense. It comes with a 10-bit VA panel. The max. resolution it can achieve is 3840 x 2160 with a refresh rate of 120 Hz and a pixel density of 52 ppi.
Picture Quality
After screen size and resolution, the very next specification of a display that defines picture quality is its Color Gamut.
This TV doesn't provide a color gamut specification, but don't worry, we have other means to guess that. Considering the TV features amassive 85 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 should be Lifelike! It is capable of producing accurate colors.
Understanding the Color Gamut Specification
Color gamut spec of a TV indicates the range of colors that the display can produce.
Meaning, 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), thus producing a "washed out" picture.
Different manufacturers use different units to define color gamut. Such as — sRGB (standard RGB), NTSC 1953, DCI P3 etc.
But don't worry, below is a chart that you can use to choose a TV with good color accuracy.
Now, next in the list of important specifications that will impact your experience is Static Contrast.
The importance of static contrast ratio
A TV with low static contrast ratio will not produce deep blacks and can bleed backlight as in the below image:
The image is an example of another display, it is not this oneThe above TV's static contrast is 800:1. So make sure you get a TV with a static contrast of >= 1000:1. More is better.
Also, a TV with high constrast ratio lets you to see more details. So, resolution and static contrast ratio go hand in hand in a sense.
If given a choice, I will prefer a FHD TV with high contrast ratio over a 4K TV with low contrast ratio.
This TV comes with a static contrast ratio of 8000:1., enough to display deep blacks and eye-catching visuals. For the record, it also comes with local dimming backlight technology which is a plus.
Dolby Vision, Dolby Vision IQ, HDR10 and HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma) are also supported on this TV.
Coming to brightness, it is can achieve a peak luminance of 600 nits. The panel of this TV is powered by Direct LED (Full-Array Local Dimming) backlight. This amount of brightness is good enough even for a well-lit room!
Gaming Performance
If you are planning to use your TV only for content consumption, you can ignore these specs. But if you are also planning to use the TV for playing games or use it as a PC monitor, you should get a TV with the lowest input lag and response time.
Sadly, we cannot find the input lag specification for this unit. But as this is not a cheap TV, we can expect an input lag of less than 20ms.
What is Input lag ?
This lag is the latency at which inputs changes the content of the screen. Though, this won't matter much if you aren't into competitive/FPS games like call of duty.
Although for better experience, look for a TV that features an input lag and response time of less than 20ms.
Dimensions and Ergonomics
The width of this TV is 75.18 inches while its height is 44.17 inches. It weighs 22.5 kgs.
Now, speaking of ergonomics — If you plan to wall mount the TV, you can make use of the VESA mount provided with this TV, which by the way has an interface size of 800x400 mm. The unit doesn't come with either Swivel, Tilt or Pivot support.
