ProsSuperb picture qualityPowerful sound out of the boxExcellent gaming performanceFutureproof set of connectivity featuresConsThe smallest screen size is 65-inchThe UR9 is Hisense’s best TV, not just of this year, but any year. Offering an incredible combination of fantastic picture quality, immersive sound, and excellent gaming performance, this sleek set leverages new RGB mini-LED display technology to bring the brand to heights that genuinely compete with top brands like Samsung and LG.Combined with up to 5,500 nits of peak brightness and a high number of local dimming zones, this RGB mini-LED panel produces beautiful visuals with accurate, vibrant colors that are among the industry’s best. The screen also manages direct light reflections surprisingly well and better than regular mini-LED sets.On the sound front, the UR9 impresses with a Dolby Atmos speaker system tuned by the experts from Devialet, a French maker of luxury audio products. Depending on the size and the layout of the space, the TV’s 4.1.2-channel audio setup can make a solid case for not spending extra on a soundbar.If you like the sound of the UR9, but have a sub-$2,000 budget, Hisense’s lower-priced Hisense UR8 also leverages RGB display tech and delivers excellent image quality. You lose some peak brightness and local dimming for the price cut, but it will still make your favorite shows, movies, and games look great.Full Hisense UR9 TV ReviewKey SpecsDisplay4K RGB Mini-LED, 165-Hz refresh ratePlatformGoogle TVConnectivityThree HDMI 2.1 ports, DisplayPort, WiFi 6E, Apple AirPlay 2, Google ChromecastScreen Sizes65-, 75-, 85-, 100-in.Other FeaturesDevialet speaker system with Dolby AtmosProsExcellent picture quality for the moneyStellar gaming performanceAvailable in many screen sizesConsAudio setup lacks upward-facing driversIf price is your primary concern, the Hisense U6 Pro is an incredible deal for a budget-tier TV. It’s pretty rare to find a 65-inch screen for just $600, especially one that looks decent, so you’re getting tremendous bang for your buck here.With peak brightness over 1,000 nits, quantum dot-enhanced colors, and well-controlled light reflections, the Hisense U6 Pro delivers picture quality that defies expectations for its price category. The same goes for the TV’s performance as a gaming display and 2.1-channel audio system. You’ll be hard-pressed to find a better balance between picture quality and all-around performance for the money.The U6 Pro’s larger-screen versions with 85-inch and 100-inch screens will set you back quite a bit more than the 65-inch screen I mentioned at the top, but they’re still an incredible value for their sizes.Key SpecsDisplay4K QLED Mini-LED, 165-Hz refresh ratePlatformAmazon Fire TVConnectivityFour HDMI ports, WiFi 6, Apple AirPlay 2, Google ChromecastScreen Sizes55-, 65-, 75-, 85-, 100-in.Other Features2.1-channel audio system with Dolby AtmosAdvertisement - Continue Reading BelowProsGreat picture quality for the priceRich set of connectivity featuresAvailable in many screen sizesConsRefresh rate tops out at 60 HzIf you’re looking to really keep your TV spend under control, the Hisense E6 is a great choice that starts at under $250 for a small 43-inch TV but also costs less than $500 for a 65-inch set. Even the 85-inch big screen only cost $900!Obviously this is not “best TV” material, but the E6 compromises intelligently. Its quantum dot screen delivers crisp visuals with punchy colors. It also supports all leading HDR formats and Dolby Atmos out of the box. Unless you are an avid gamer who might find the E6’s 60-hertz refresh rate behind the curve, the product will exceed the expectations set by its price tag.When it comes to platform and connectivity features, the Hisense E6 overdelivers as well. With WiFi 6 and Apple AirPlay 2 support, it makes streaming content from mobile devices super easy. Its Amazon Fire TV platform and Alexa voice remote, on the other hand, allow for easy content search and seamless control of compatible smart home gadgets.Key SpecsDisplay4K Quantum-Dot LED LCD, 60-Hz refresh ratePlatformAmazon Fire TVConnectivityThree HDMI ports, WiFi 5, BluetoothScreen Sizes43-, 50-, 55-, 65-, 75-, 85-, 100-in.Other FeaturesBuilt-in light sensorProsBeautiful design at a reasonable priceSolid picture qualityPlenty of connectivity featuresConsYou can get a brighter set for the same moneyThe S7 CanvasTV is Hisense’s take on the increasingly popular Frame TV or “art TV,” which is designed to blend into the background of a living room designed to avoid looking like a home theater.Featuring an anti-glare 4K screen with a matte finish and a beautiful wooden frame, the S7 looks great in art mode, showing off your favorite paintings or photographs. An onboard light sensor can automatically adjust its brightness and colors based on the lighting in the space.When it’s time to watch something, the Hisense S7 CanvasTV Series look sharp, too. Though, with a low max brightness (500 nits), it doesn’t take great advantage of HDR and may not look quite as good as a conventional TV if you’re playing video games, or watching sports. (This is pretty standard for frame TVs, though.)Key SpecsAsin4K anti-glare LED LCD, 144-Hz refresh ratePlatformGoogle TVConnectivityFour HDMI ports, WiFi, BluetoothScreen Sizes50-, 55-, 65-, 75-, 85-in.Other FeaturesBuilt-in motion detectorAdvertisement - Continue Reading BelowProsStriking minimalist designFeature-packed platformGood picture quality for the priceCons32-inch variant is not 4KHisense’s DécoTV Series TVs are great for small spaces like kitchens, home offices, or dorm rooms.

The smaller option has a Full HD display, which is nowhere near as sharp as the 4K screen of the 43-inch model. Unless the space you plan to put the TV in is small enough to justify the 32-inch variant, spending an extra $100 to go 4K with the 43-inch model is definitely worth it.Key SpecsDisplay4K or Full HD Quantum-Dot LED LCD, 60-Hz refresh ratePlatformAmazon Fire TVConnectivityThree HDMI ports, WiFi, BluetoothScreen Sizes32-, 43-in.Other FeaturesStereo speakersStefan is an award-winning consumer technology editor with over a decade of experience in reviewing gadgets, particularly smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, desktop and laptop computers across multiple form factors and platforms, as well as accessories for them.
