TechRadar tested the Hisense U7 Series Google TV model over a week across movies, music, and PS5 gaming, finding it to be an exceptional value for buyers stepping up from budget screens. The reviewer noted standout strengths including high peak brightness measured up to 2,866 nits, 165Hz gaming performance, and four HDMI 2.1 ports. However, the review highlighted limitations such as minor edge vignetting, saturated color bleed, weak bass impact from the internal audio, and occasional voice search routing errors with Google Gemini. Pricing for the 65-inch model was noted around $999.99.

## Media review

TechRadar’s reviewer considers the Hisense U7 a strong value for a mid-range TV, citing its gaming features, good-enough picture and sound, while noting color bleeding, minor vignetting, limited bass, and inconsistent voice-assistant behavior.
