Coming to the display, the Hisense U7Q 55-inch Ultra HD 4K smart TV features a 55-inch display. The 55-inch display of the smart TV comes with 4K Ultra HD (3840 x 2160) resolution. The 4K Ultra HD resolution panel is enhanced by Mini LED backlighting, which allows for precise control over brightness and contrast thanks to its densely packed LED zones—up to 608 local dimming zones. This results in deeper blacks, brighter highlights, and overall improved dynamic range. The addition of Quantum Dot technology elevates colour reproduction, delivering rich, vibrant hues that remain accurate across a wide spectrum. With support for Dolby Vision IQ, HDR10+, and HLG, the TV adapts to ambient lighting and content type to optimise picture quality in real time.

Altogether, the U7Q’s display is engineered to deliver a cinematic and immersive experience.

Performance

The Hisense U7Q 55-inch Mini LED TV delivers a performance package that’s hard to beat in its price segment. At its core is the Hi-View Engine, an AI-powered processor that intelligently enhances picture quality in real time, adjusting contrast, sharpness, and color based on the content being displayed. This ensures that everything from fast-paced action scenes to quiet dialogue moments is rendered with clarity and precision. The TV supports AMD FreeSync Premium, Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), and Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM), making it a strong contender for gamers who demand smooth, responsive gameplay. With a native refresh rate of 144Hz, it handles motion exceptionally well, reducing blur and judder during sports broadcasts and gaming sessions.

Audio performance is equally impressive, thanks to a 49W multi-speaker system tuned by Devialet, which includes a dedicated subwoofer for deeper bass and support for Dolby Atmos. This setup delivers immersive sound that fills the room, eliminating the need for external speakers in most cases. On the software front, the U7Q runs on VIDAA OS U8.5, Hisense’s proprietary smart TV platform. It’s fast, intuitive, and content-forward, offering quick access to popular streaming apps like Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, and YouTube. The interface is clean and customizable, and the inclusion of Alexa Built-In and VIDAA Voice—with support for Hindi—adds a layer of convenience for voice-based navigation and smart home control. Overall, the U7Q combines powerful hardware with intelligent software to deliver a seamless and satisfying entertainment experience.
