The Hisense Q9G/H9G has been a smash hit for the brand in 2020 thanks to its fantastic price to performance placement in the market. Today, I wanted to go over some of the advantages of using it as a replacement to a traditional computer monitor, and honestly... I'm never going back!
The Hisense Q9G/H9G comes in both 55" and 65", offers 1000nit+ of peak brightness, 4K resolution, HDR10+ and Dolby Vision, 120Hz native refresh rate, 12-14ms response timings, a Quantum Dot panel, and much much more. All of these work in tandem to produce a fast and color-rich desktop experience. Sure, there may be other TVs on the market that will work better, but honestly, I don't think any are touching the price point Hisense is hitting for what you get.
Now sure, the Hisense Q9G/H9G will never be quite as color accurate as a traditional color-calibrated monitor, or as fast for a response time; however, for noncompetitive gaming and productivity work, it's a trade-off I am willing to make for the sheer functional size of this display. Furthermore, Quantum Dot panels DO NOT run the risk of burn-in like other display technologies, making it a great alternative to the more expensive OLED displays on the market.
Lastly, the 120Hz display is completely functional, with the trade-off being that you'll have to scale back to 1080p or 1440p. For me, I much rather the workspace size of 4K and 60Hz is plenty fast enough for casual work to be done. Just know that you can simply change this on the fly before a gaming session and take in all the tangible benefits of this 120Hz panel.

dude just watched your steelseries video and bought a pair, you are such an underrated youtuber. the quality of the videos are amazing!
You're too kind! Thank you for your continued support :)
I second this. I'm honestly surprised your not already way bigger/ subscriber count. Your videos are high quality very thorough.
Thanks Terry! You made my night :)
how can you not like this guy
😃😃😃
I'm using a 60 inch Hisense TV as my PC monitor/TV. It's in my living room and I'm sitting about 2 and a half to three meters away on my sofa. It's the top of the range UK model. My home is very bright with large windows and the Hisense TV has many options that easily cope with the bright Sunlight. The refresh rate is 120 hz and the screen comes with a 10 year burn in guarantee. I used to be a hardcore Wow player and the TV is on 16-17 hours a day.
Just received the H9G yesterday and setup as my main TV. Super happy with the choice. Blacks are OLED level and colors pop off the screen in HDR or Dolby content. Thanks for all your videos and reviews. Likely going to grab a H8G as a PC monitor in a few weeks as the H9G may be too bright for me as a monitor.
Awesome to hear you're having such a great experience so far!
awesome video, awesome manner of speaking, subscribed! Kudos from Toronto 💚
Thank you so much 🙏
Cheers from NB!
Great content. You really make a case for this as a primary monitor! I really appreciate it!
Anytime :) I'm happy you found value in the video
I mean you can even if you have a full hd tv or 4k tv They both got hdmi ports It's just that it's hard to turn your tv into a monitor It must take a lot of hard work to do that.
Finally a subject expalined by some one. Why do you have a seat ht vs screen center do wacky it looks like is your eyes at screen center WHY NOT. Try That. Has anyone sat down and tried the set up and their thoughts at 1 hour?
Is your question why is the panel not at eye level centered on the screen? If so, it’s because my seat is as high as it will go currently and my desk was built into my walls prior to the decision of using a Tv as a monitor.
how is the text?I hear it has artifacts or blurry effects?is it true even with 444 chroma enabled for 55inch 4k?
Text is tack sharp in 444/rgb in 4K/60. The blurring as was on the newer models running 4K/120hz.
On M0422 firmware, there is a text clarity mode that allows 4K/120hz desktop utilization with full clarity. It mutes Color’s a touch, but it’s better then overly punchy colors and blurry impossible to read text.
@@qwazyd0gg Thanks 😀
Definitely not your wife!!! LOL Thanks for the awesome video. Looking to upgrade my system, from a 24" monitor that is alone side of my 27" LG gp850. Thinking of a tv instead like a 48" LG oled A2 or a Hisense 55" U7K which is 480 at best buy. The A2 is about 70 more.
So I will say that OLED has made strides with image retention and mitigation; however, using an OLED (TV specifically vs OLED monitor) as a monitor has me slightly worried about persistent static content. Unlike a typical source device, a GPU typically doesn’t send a signal to the tv to sleep or standby like say a gaming console or AV device. With the U7K you have no retention worries.
Use Windows Fancy Zones. It'll make life much easier
Great video btw 💯
Thanks man! I’ll look into your suggestion!
I have been thinking of buying this tv and using it as a computer monitor and didn't know if it would be possible to show on a video or at least tell me what the PIP (picture in picture) mode offers for options.
Hhmmm, I've never used PIP on it TBH. Most things I want to do I just do in a browser window rather than PIP
I'm using a Hisense TV as a PC Monitor and the screensaver was waking when I used my mouse or keyboard but now the only way to "wake" it is the TV remote...any suggestions?
Might be a CEC setting or maybe even a windows power setting. Is the entire pc asleep?
Thanks for such a good review.
Thanks for watching Chi
Thanks for the video... I'm pretty sure you just sold me on H9G. I align to all of your opinions and use scenarios.
Glad I could help Terry :)
They're hard time find from what I'm hearing, but I always include links in the description you can bookmark if your local market has run dry. Cheers!
@@qwazyd0gg ha. You were not joking. Just went to buy the last one a local best buy had and it was gone by the time I got there. Hopefully Amazon or best buy restocks soon... Or I will be driving out of state to get one...
I have a link in the description from Amazon. It keeps going out of stock and you can't search for it when it's out, but the hyperlink works everytime and you may be able to snag one if you check often enough
@@qwazyd0gg I just purchased a 65 inch H9g from Amazon that should be here next week. Question for you. Since you have had the H9G and H8G side by side... I watched your review on both and your vs... how is the H8G as a pc monitor compared to the H9G. I'm trying to decide if I should buy a second H9G to be a pc monitor (mild casual pc gaming maybe xbox series x) or if I should go with a 50 /55 inch H8G to cut the price in half. Would I be disappointed with the H8G as a pc monitor after having a H9G as my main TV?
As long as you don't care about 1440p/120hz, the H8G is more than enough for a PC monitor! I used mine for about a week and only switched out due to demand in testing 120hz on PC.
What would be comparable now and in a 46”ish size for working from home to eliminate the need for 3 monitors? TIA
I’ve comfortably replaced 4 monitors with a 55” so 3 should be an issue on a 46” depending on how large you like your windows
Anyone try using far field mic for hands free voice control play/ pause rewind/ forward on netflix, prime, youtube, disney hotstar, spotify?
Honestly mine has been disabled since day one as I have two google homes in the same room as my tv.
Put everything in dark mode to deal with the brightness problem.
Confused about your 120hz claims. Confused in general about what these TVs are doing at 120hz. The Q90T from Samsung (much more expensive, but probably better on the whole for PC use at high refresh rates) is supposed to have 'true' 120hz, but if you ran the UFO test and it confirms it is at 120hz...my head is just spinning about it, honestly. RTings has said definitively that it does not have 120hz, and that Hisense confirmed this, and that there should be no increase in smoothness when using 120hz because of skipped frames. You're saying it is clearly smoother?
The Hisense has no true 120hz in 4K due to the lack of HDMI 2.1. 120hz in 2k or FHD is possible with frame skipping. Everything recognizes 120hz in these modes, including the UFO test; however, it is using BFI.
Hello
I noticed that you previously used a 34 inch ultrawide as well. I was wondering how it felt downgrading from 21:9 to 16:9 and how you adjusted. Or did the raw screen real estate just make up for it? Thank you.
Raw screen more than makes up for it. In 4K/60hz with 125% scaling, my 55” Hisense feels like 4 larger 16:9 monitors stacked 2 tall and 2 wide. This makes it even wider than the 1080p ultra wide was and ups the resolution for video editing in 4K. I will never go back to anything smaller.
@@qwazyd0gg Do you have eye strain or headaches from using TV as monitor?
Not normally tbh. At 100% scale in windows, I usually resize my windows to say a 32” equivalent so my not straining too much. I keep ambient lighting on around the panel and I have the brightness set to a comfortable level
BRO! You actually use this to color grade? this is the exact kind of info I've been looking for. First off, are you a colorist? I'm NOT really but I have to do it anyway of course since I shoot on a Sony mirrorless in SLOG2. So can you tell me a little bit like, what kind of footage are you grading, what software and what's the experience like on this tv for that? Thanks!
I'm coloring 4k footage from a Sony A6100. It's one of the only newer release cameras without LOG, so I'm not insanely flat; however, everything is dialed to almost the utmost negative value in camera for the best return on DR. I color in Premiere and rely on scopes a lot more now with this TV compared to when I used to eyeball it on my calibrated monitor. For me though my scene rarely changes other than lighting, so it's not an insanely tough process.
So is the quality better than a 1080p monitor? You said it's like having 4 1080p monitor's but it's a 4k tv wouldn't it be 4 4k monitors?
I was more so speaking in regards to the windows scaling kept at 100%, which keeps text and usable real estate on screen scaled to the sizing it would be if it was on a smaller monitor. This allows me to section off workspaces within the screen for different tasks
@@qwazyd0gg ah okay. So the quality is better than a 1080 or 1440 p monitor?
Oh yeah, it’s native 4K.
@@qwazyd0gg Thanks:)
Does this model allow you to disable overscan? I have a 40in and don't have that option so everything looks too zoomed in :(
Yes it does
I tend to get by with inexpensive chromebooks. I'd love to have the real estate of a 55" monitor but i don't think I have any hardware that will display properly on the H9G. I mostly use browsers and remote desktop to connect to other computers. Since I only need browsers and RDP how does content look when using just apps?
PC apps or smart TV apps.
@@qwazyd0gg smart TV (android) apps. I wanted to know if you run smart apps using a bluetooth keyboard & mouse does it look good on the screen. I can do most of my job using O365 online. The most basic case would be to run 4 separate browser windows to but how well does it work (speed, resolution, ...?)
When I need to use pc apps or access specific network resources I connect to a pc at work. I read that Microsoft updated their Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) app last year to support Android TV. If you use RDP I'd be interested to see how it resizes to fit the entire screen. Thanks!
Oooph, honestly I’ve only used the entertainment based apps on the TV and with great success of course. As it’s being used as a direct monitor, I’ve never testing Bluetooth KB or mouse support or any Remote Desktop based applications.
Do you think the hisence h8g Is good foto PC monitor or PC gaming ???
Absolutely, providing you don't need more that 60hz/60fps.
What about a HISENSE H8G coupled to HDMI port on a GTX1080 TI
You would be able to pull 1440p/120hz on a GTX card and the H8G :)
Why cant you show the damn screen You might as well be doing a radio show. Show us details of text size you can read or if you really are not 4k or changed resolution down so it is useable What adjustmentsare used
My scaling is 100% in windows with RGB 4:4:4 at 4K/60hz.

@@qwazyd0gg Glad to lend a helping hand! Hope these settings work well for you & your viewers, enjoy
how can I add a mini desktop or stick to my hisense tv
Simply plug it into the HDMI port on the back :)
@@qwazyd0gg thanks! how to add mouse and keyboard? can I do zoom meetings with the mini desktop with the tv?
The keyboard and mouse, along with the webcam and any other computer peripherals will need to be connected to the computer itself by USB or Bluetooth. The television itself simply replaces a traditional monitor to show you the video that comes from the computer
@@qwazyd0gg thank you that's what I thought but I wanted to ask you just to be sure.
Ok. So just got a h8g 50 inch to run as a monitor... Wow it's big for a monitor. I notice that... Windows looks like crap. Like screen door effect on windows panels, icons, office apps, ui elements, etc. Images look great. And I tested for chrome 444... 4k youtube looks amazing and just as good as my h9g IMO... Honestly... It just does not look crisp. Text is fine... But everything that's not text or image... Is crap. Do you have this same issue or notice it? Is there a setting I'm missing? Is this just due to a low pixel per inch?
My H9G is set to 4K chroma 4:4:4 and everything looks great at 55”. Maybe try setting a custom profile rather than using a Windows default, and set your panel sharpness to 5. If you have it lower it may be artificially desharpening the image.
@@qwazyd0gg thank you sir. Going to give it a try tonight. It was really perplexing me. I ran a 444 test and text displays perfectly. But the windows title bars, office title bars, windows icons, all have funky coloring going on. Like a screen door effect. Instead of being flat grey... It's like you can see spacing between pixles. I'm hoping a setting is off and it's not a screen door effect. images and video do not have this though which is what is throwing me off. Tried my laptop and a desktop last night and was having same issue on both. Again, thanks. Going to try the sharpness settings and custom profile tonight.
I should have mentioned before as well, but I have mine in Game Mode to make sure I am not introducing any artificial image controls. Could try that as well. Best of luck!
@@qwazyd0gg Well... Just had to return the H8G. Best Buy has no more in stock either :(. I went to try the settings you recommended after coming home from work today, and when i turned the panel on... all kind of color lines running through the panel. The panel had some sort of hair line fracture... That probably explains why colors were off and there was a very noticeable screen door effect yesterday. All in all, I am not too upset. 50 inches was just a little to big for me as a monitor. As much as I hate to say something is too big.. Especially a Tv/Monitor. I did not think you could go to big, but even just the few hours i was playing with it yesterday... i felt the neck strain. I will be on the hunt for a 43 inch. More manageable size for a desktop and higher PPI. Crappy thing is 43 inch models do not get the bells and whistle of larger ones. Thanks again Qwazyd0gg for taking the time to give some suggestions.
Wow! No wonder it looked so weird. That sucks man :(
For a 43”, I know LG has some great IPS options on the market!
Are there any Crosshatching on windows text like the H8G ? thanks
Crosshatching is like little dots inside any windows text
Not that I’ve noticed in 4K/60 with chroma 4:4:4
3 intros💀
So i just received my hisense h9g tv yesterday but i just cant make the 120hz work, im thinking it may be my HDMI cable. which hdmi cable did you use?
Im using a UGreen HDMI 2.1 cable. What is your sending source?
@@qwazyd0gg OK, i just got the ugreen HDMI 2.1 Cable, and im using it directly on my Gtx 2060 as sending source.. weird it will not give me 120hz.. im still stuck on 60hz . I Wonder whats causing this.
You’ll have to set a customer resolution in nvidia control panel for 1080p/120hz at either 4:2:0 or RGB. Although the panel itself is 120hz, the HDMI 2.0 port on the TV can only support 120hz using BFI at a lower resolution than 4K.
@@qwazyd0gg thanks, i finally did it. I went for a 1440p 120hz.
Nice! And it worked fine for you?
ZYou really avoid the main factwaht video card must you have to run this as a monitor. Saying its 4k when it is being used at 1/2 or evn 1/4 resolution, that is misleading Not being toosee 4k compuyter content at eben 30 kn is cable limited and gpu. No facts topld about that.
It’s actually running at 4K/60 in RGB Chroma 444 flawlessly on a GTX 1060 from 2016. Not hard to achieve providing you don’t intend to game at that resolution.
How did you get 120 hertz working? I just got this TV and I don't have the option to do 120 hertz through Nvidia control panel on my PC.
You need to drop it to 1440p or 1080p due to the limitations of HDMI 2.0
@@qwazyd0gg Yeah I have it on 1440p is there a way to manually set the HDMI input I'm using to HDMI 2.0? I could do that on my old TCL 4 series TV.
In the HDMI advanced setting make sure your set to enhanced mode. That should scale it to 2.0
@@qwazyd0gg I did that too and still don't have the 120 hertz option lol. It's all good I'll figure it out eventually.
Make sure your drivers are up to date and that you’re using an HDMI 2.0 cable. For me I have 2 presets for 1440p/120hz and 4K/60hz with hdr and can toggle through both with ease since setting it up. Best of luck Keltic.
Microphones are a killer for me. Why are we so 'OK' to have microphones in our houses now. Seems so stupid to me. Kinda disappointed that this review was just a talking head. Would have liked some actual use of the product etc or setup or something.
Check the playlist for other dedicated tv content surrounding this/these panels.
$650 the H9G in the US.
Amazing. Snag it before they're either gone or go up in price. I'm seeing prices beginning to increase across a lot of TV manufacturers which makes me wonder if there are production issues or shortages coming 😟
It's the equivalent of $830 USD in Canada ($1097 CAD) for the 55". The 65" goes for $1750 CAD or $1325 USD equivalent but only $950 USD at bestbuy.com. Contrast that with the 55" TCL 635 for $899 CAD or $680 USD and sells for $650 USD at bestbuy.com. I don't mind paying a bit extra cuz smaller market, increased shipping costs, etc., but the Hisense Canadian market upcharge is just over the top! Really Hisense!!
Check Visions electronics and Amazon for better pricing.
I did, both Visions.ca and Amazon.ca want 1800 CAD for 65", 1100 CAD for 55". The 1750 price I mentioned for the 65" was from Costco.ca.
I mean, it's definitely higher msrp, but I priced out the difference of buying the canadian version or buy from the US and pay for conversion, duty, shipping or driving, etc. For me I would have almost broke even comparing the two results
Sounds so Canadian lmao
Am so Canadian lol
how about the 43R61G?
The R6 is a 60Hz 4K Roku based panel, which is also capable of 4K/60Hz for desktop use. It will not be as bright or vibrant; however, it’s input lag is not terrible for desktop use. Start with game mode and adjust your settings using the patterns built into your operating system for accurate desktop color in Game Mode.
What you did in 2020.. i already did in 2006
Hell yeah!
You lost me at the console pleb...
