The latest Hisense TVs demonstrate how far the company has come as a TV brand in just a few short years. Hisense now claims to be the number two TV maker in the world in terms of units shipped, which would put it ahead of key budget competitors such as TCL, Vizio, and Amazon.
Not only do some of Hisense’s affordable sets rank among the best 4K TVs, but the company has also successfully expanded into the projector market, with certain models in its Laser TV lineup, such as the PX1 Pro, counting among the best 4K projectors.
As a TV brand with broad market coverage, the company offers an impressive range of models, with everything from premium 8K and OLED sets (both not available in the US) to ultra-affordable basic LED ones with 4K or regular HD resolution screens. The bulk of its offerings are at the budget end of the Smart TV spectrum, however, with the Google, Roku, Android, and Fire TV platforms all represented.
Given this budget focus, Hisense is a name you’ll regularly come across when shopping for an inexpensive TV, especially one with screen smaller than 55 inches. But you’ll also find plenty of feature-packed options in the company’s TV lineup, including models with quantum dots and even mini-LED backlights.
We’re going to cover the more premium Hisense options here, since they’re the ones with performance-related features that we believe readers will be most interested in. If you’re keen on just finding a good cheap TV, check out our guide to the best TVs under $500, which happens to be topped by a Hisense 4K model.
Should I buy a Hisense TV?
The best Hisense TVs are proving to be serious competitors, and not just among budget TV brands, but among TVs in general. In our U8H series review, for example, we found it had a measured peak brightness closely matching what we normally see in models priced twice as much, and its other performance-related features were similarly impressive.
That’s not to say all Hisense TVs will look as good as the U8H series, which are the company’s current flagship TVs in the US, but it’s a good indication that the company takes performance seriously. (Specs for the UK U8H model, which has significantly fewer backlight local dimming zones and uses an IPS LCD panel with poorer contrast, are different than those for the US one, however.)
So, despite the brand’s budget prices, you should be in no doubt that Hisense is a major player with a solid presence in the competitive television market.
Which Hisense TVs are best?
The top Hisense TVs in the US for 2022 are the U8H, U7H, and U6H series sets. These all feature quantum dots for enhanced color and brightness, plus a full array LED backlight with local dimming. As noted above, the U8H series additionally features a mini-LED backlight. Other notable features include 4K 120Hz display on the U8H and U7H series TVs, along with an ATSC 3.0 tuner for receiving next-gen digital TV broadcasts in the US. All models support Dolby Vision and HDR10+ high dynamic range.
Another top Hisense TV in the US is the U9DG series, which uses a unique dual-layer LED backlight for enhanced contrast, with a claimed 2,000,000+ local dimming zones.
- U8H series: 55, 65, 75 inches
- U7H series: 55, 65, 75, 85 inches
- U6H series: 50, 55, 65, 75 inches
- U9DG series: 75 inches
The top Hisense TVs in the UK for 2022 are the U8HQ and U7HQ series. These have similar specs as the US models, but use different LCD panel tech and have fewer local dimming zones.
- U8H series: 55, 65, 75 inches
- U7H series: 55, 65 inches
Just below the options mentioned above are the company’s mid-range A7H and A6H series sets. These are regular 4K TVs that lack fancy performance-oriented features like quantum dots, a full array local dimming backlight, and 120Hz support. If you’re looking for a decent cheap TV with a Google TV interface and Dolby Vision, and one available in a wide range of screen sizes, however, these are the Hisense models to check out.
- A7H series: 85 inches
- A6H series: 43, 50, 55, 65, 70, 75 inches
