Is the Hisense A7 good for gaming?

It handles casual gaming at 4K 60 Hz, but it lacks HDMI 2.1, variable refresh rate and high refresh rates. Serious console gamers should look at sets with those features.

Does it need a Fire TV Stick?

No. Fire TV is built in, so Netflix, Prime Video and other apps run on the TV itself. You only need a stick if you want a different streaming platform.

How does it compare with the Hisense U6?

The U6 adds full-array local dimming and higher brightness for better contrast and HDR. The A7 is the simpler, cheaper option for everyday viewing.

Does it support HDR formats?

It supports HDR, but brightness is limited, so the effect is modest. It is not a set to buy for a bright, punchy HDR experience.

Can I mount it on a wall?

Yes, it has standard VESA mounting points. Check the exact pattern for the 65-inch model before buying a bracket.

Does it work with Alexa and Google Assistant?

Alexa is built in through Fire TV, and it also works with Google Assistant and Siri through compatible devices.

Our take on the Hisense A7 Series 4K UHD Smart Fire TV 65-inch

The Hisense A7 is a budget 65-inch 4K LCD TV with Fire TV built in, so you get the Fire TV interface and Alexa voice control without a streaming stick. It covers the basics well: 4K resolution, HDR support, three HDMI ports and Wi-Fi or Ethernet. It is a 60 Hz panel without local dimming, so it suits everyday shows, sports and casual streaming better than dark-room movie viewing. Rivals at the same tier, such as TCL's 4-Series and Hisense's own U6 line, offer similar features, and the U6 adds full-array local dimming for better contrast.
