Our take on the Hisense U7N 55″ 55-inch

The Hisense U7N is a 55-inch 4K Mini-LED TV with over 200 local dimming zones and peak brightness up to 1300 nits, which puts it in rare company for a mid-range set. It runs 144 Hz with VRR and Dolby Vision Gaming, so it suits console and PC gamers as well as movie watchers. Reviewers consistently rate it as one of the strongest value Mini-LED TVs, with deep blacks and bright highlights that undercut many pricier rivals. The trade-offs are the VIDAA smart system, which has fewer apps than Google TV, and off-angle viewing that washes out.
