This was a fantastic comparison. Finally! Someone doing the matchups we really want to see. Thank you.
I was a Sony fan. However, the Hisense this year has caught up, and the displays are pretty dawn close. I do understand the Sony's processing is a bit superior. But based on the facts that the Hisense U7K has so much built-in features, like Qauntum Dot, mini-LEDs, 384 local dimming zones, and fine controls for the video images ; I think the U7K does offer great values. For the 65" model, it's almost half for the cost. I think the U7K does deserve a second look. I'm all in for it. Oh, plus the gaming features and the 144hz refresh rate. These all beats the Sony hands-down. For the price differences, it's a no Brainer....
65 inch U7K at 729 was a no brainer for me, game bar 144hz and flexibility of image and good use of quantum dot color not to mention good speakers
did you buy it?
Can you recommend it?
Thank you Brian, every time I need a new TV, you help me with the decision making. I will go with the Hisense, its a nobrainer. Thank you so much.
Jennifer, I just started watching your channel the other day. Your work is amazing.
She is amazing! Check out her channels and subscribe please
You could see the detail of the Sony but that Hisense color is just popping. Great review Brian! Like that you are doing Hisense TVs while we patiently wait on Sony QD-OLED review.
Missed the live today, worked all week. They seem to be pretty equal to me watching it now. Inexpensive isn't always junk now. The Sony does seem to bloom more but it might be partially the way it looks on the camera and not in person. I can say the processing on my Sony beastie makes my old dvd movies watchable now, not so much on my previous TCL. You have to decide if the Sony does something that makes it worth the extra money for you. The tax was worth it to me but I had the money, otherwise I'd still be watching my TCL in the living room.
Keep up the good work Brian.
Hey Brian! Thanks for the excellent content. I look forward to the Hisense u8k vs the Sony x90l. I would very much like to see the Sony x90l vs the TCL Qm8. Or the Qm8 vs the X93l. Either way I enjoy the comparisons. Keep up the good work.
You'll see U8k vs X90L very soon. My friend. I'll try and get the QM8. Thank you for watching
Yo Brian, this is nice. Having both tv’s on screen simultaneously, and continuously is brilliant. Thank you.👍🏽✌🏽 The Hisense held its own, considering the price difference. My concern would be longevity with the Hisense.
Buy the 5 year warranty from best buy for 130 bucks. They come to your house even.. in 5 years, you will be looking for a different tv for sure.. no matter what brand you get.
@@doylee469 True, a good guarantee
Just bought a 65'' hisense u7k.. The best tv ever had... Audio and picture quality are amazing... Bargain
Ordered a 85 inch u7k. So excited. I've only ever had smaller, super budget line tvs. Nothing over 600 dollars. I did so much research over past 6 months off and on and just when I was going to get the u7h they released the u7k and u8k with pretty damn low prices on them surprisingly and reviews have shown that they demolish the competition, only TLC qm8 and 850 series hold up with them.
Word has it that Sony has by far the best motion handling, I kept a 82” Samsung for 28 days the final straw was an old man walking, Samsung even blurred that, I returned it and got a Sony and I wouldn’t change if you gave me a refund to boot, maybe that’s why Brian did not show AAAAAAANY fast scenes, because Sony would’ve owned this whole video. But I hope your tv works Fantastic for you. this U7K does look amazing though!
Both tvs were doing a great job. I would be happy with either one. 😊
Thank you as always Michael!
I don't own any of those two tv's but personally, I really like most of the scenes on the Hisense better. The details are crisper and sharper, the colours are more natural and not washed out. I don't know if that's so due to the fact that I am not looking at both screens "live" but if I had to choose one of those tv-s only by looking at your review, it would definetelly be Hisense, even if was double the price of the Sony. And not the half. That's why I'm not ok with the question from the beginning of the video if the Sony justifies it's price :) The rest of the review is really good!
Hi Brian, really enjoy your reviews. Not that long ago I bought two Hisense TVs both identical models, same size for 2 spare bedrooms. They literally were viewed about 20-40 hours each and BOTH failed literally within days of one another 18 months in, with the IDENTICAL failure.I purchased the warranty on both of them, so I was ok other than the nonsense of removal, repurchase and re-mount. I recently purchased and will install this weekend an 85” x90l. As much as I was tempted by the fanfare of the Qm8 and U7k/U8k, I couldn’t bear the thought of giving (less $) to Hisense and deal with the hinkyness of the Qm8. I purchased the x90l from Costco with the 5 year warranty and it included a backlit remote. If for some reason it’s not to my liking, I can return the beast (it’s HEAVY) in 90 days. My past experience with Sony TVs has been excellent and still have an old SXRD going strong in NJ. Thanks again for the great reviews. Best to you, my friend!
Hi Barbara! I'm so sorry for your terrible experiences with Hisense. They definitely have to prove in regards to consistency and reliability. The X90L is very good and it only improves at the larger sizes . Please follow up and let me know how you Like it . I appreciate the kind words and thank you for being part of the community and family
Which were the 2 models that failed within 18 months? I will hope they have improve these issues with 2023 models
Gotta love when someone takes the time to comment, but no mention of the actual failure. @@BiernoYoshikawa
My Hisense 55" U6GR is amazing and I'm upgrading my Insignia 55" F30 in my living room to the U7k, so worth it! But the Hisense U7h is on sale, however that subwoofer and upgrades are better on the U7k. Great review on both Sony and Hisense 👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽🤝🏾
Awesome! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to comment.
I’m in the market for the U7K myself right now. Can’t beat the price
Nowdays TVs all look good displaying high quality (4K or 8K) motion pictures. The difference is when it comes to upscaling low definition source. I think Sony upscales it far better then the competition.
Agreed with you. All TVs look great in the showrooms with 4k demo videos. It's the upscaling capability that matters for me. I'm planning to get Sony 85" X90L but the price is US$4k in my country 😢
I have taken receipt of 3 U7K 65 inch Hisense TVs from Amazon over the past month, all with the same bottom right edge screen defect. There is color banding about 12 inches horizontal from right corner, and 1 inches high from bottom edge, it looks like the bezel holding the display is squeezing the screen, producing a very noticeable rainbow effect/banding on full screen content. I really liked the TV hence 2 returns, but the third had the same issue. Sent back and I am receiving the Sony X90L tomorrow. You get what you pay for.
Any problems with the Sony?
@@asole100 nope, it's all good!
Im a Sony guy, but on this demo the Hisense appeared to have a clearer picture along with richer colors. Not sure if its because of the settings or if the Hisense is truly that much better. I get the feeling the Sony can match it in both clarity and color with a few tweaks of their extensive settings.
This is Crazy, I watched the u8k vs u7K also done by Brian and you can clearly see the brightness increase and a bit better detail on the U8K. Brian also has the U8k vs X90L and its close but you can see the better clarity most of the time goes to the Sony. Here however the clarity on the u7K equals the Sony if not beats it on a few scenes and the Contrast/blooming is much better on the U7k.
Brian you must have gotten a sweet panel on the U7k it looks fantastic.... Im finding it hard to choose between 75 u8k or 85 u7K??? both have the Pentonic 700 Chip so that is good.. but the U7K just seems to be able to control its Dimming zones/Brightness and overall processing a bit better than the big brother u8K
Thank you Brian for doing such great comparisons on these panels.. I know you personally chose the u7k for your space... so that is saying alot.
What did you get and are you happy with it so far?
Thought the same thing, the oddities of life lol
Hello Brian, Thanks for the video comparison between the Sony X90L vs Hisense U7K.
I am looking to buy a new 75” TV. I have been to Best Buy and Costco looking at a few models, Samsung, LG, Hisense, Sony and TCL. I have always bought a Sony TV in the past. Nowadays, several manufacturers have stepped up their product quality. The problem looking at the TV in stores is that they are all set up in retail mode, which make them all look fantastic.
I did purchase a Samsung QN90B and I was looking forward to seeing it at home. Oh, boy, what a disappointment. The picture, no matter how I adjusted looked bad, not any better the a regular LCD/LED TV.
Looking at your video X90L vs U7K, I don’t see paying a double for the X90L. I like the colors better on the U7K. The X90L looks a little more washed out, or not as vivid. The important at factor is the upscaling capability. I want the cable signals to look as good as a 4K movie. I am not sure how good the Hisense upscaling is
I think the U8K would be a better choice that the U7K.
I would like to see a comparison between U8K vs. M08 and LG QNED80URA
I agree and I wonder if the higher end Hisense, TCL etc.. have better upscaling processors?
We presently have a 65in U8H as our main tv in the living room. I am looking for a replacement for a tired Vizio 55in in my man cave. I am seriously considering the 65in U7K. I am very much pleased with the U8H and feel that another Hisense tv would be a good investment. Thanks for the video.
I think you'll be very pleased. The U8K is even better. Thank you for watching
I just want to say, I had the Hisense u8k, 75 inch series for a few days and just exchanged it for the Sony Bravia Xr X90L 75 inches. The Sony is on another level which definitely beats the husense u8k that i used to have in so many ways. Its tryly unbelievable, the colors, the sharpness, and every detail in the picture blows me away, how accurate it is the whites and blacks and every color is true to its color it's so beautiful. Ohh Wow!! The Sony x90l is worth every penny. I think I won a panel lottery. I have not seen any blooming nor ghosting effects or a slightly dirty screen effect. Sdr, hdr, and Dolby vision are all unbelievable. The software on this is so smooth, it's incredible. Thank you so much for what you do and thank you for taking the time to show what TVs can do in comparison, without lying to people! You show it how it is! Your awesome brother and my condolences to your friend. Always looking forward to see your videos.
This comment has really helped me to decide. I wasn't sure if I should by the U8K or Song X90L - I'm going for the Sony X90L. Thank You.
I Changed my x90l to a x95k the gaming blooming on the x90l was Bad😢
But the x95k has deeper Blacks and better dimming Control that TV is a beast
Sony TV X90L chip technology old technology no mini lead bat is stil good picture Sony can do better job on dish TV
i’m on my second u7k and it’s just…. ugly. motion is terrible. upscaling is terrible. certain content is just… ugly
The x90l gets the job done, it might not have deeper blacks than some other models, but the experience and the picture quality, with little to no blooming, are exceptional and enjoyable to watch. I never had the u7k, but hisenses software is unpredictable and the build quality is cheap! Sony is such a reliable brand. Hisense is unfortunately not! For the price for the Sony x90l right now is a steal! Remember... If you calibrate a TV, you can not copy the calibration on someone else's TV information on the picture settings, because every panel is different even though it's the same model. It will ruin your TV. It's funny to me because there is a comment saying I'm getting paid from Sony to say that they're great, but that's a lie, I'm not affiliated with the company in any way, I'm just telling you my experience based on purely owning one! To me, it's all about having your true experience! And since I owned 2 different Hisense models from 2023 u8k and the year 2022 u8h, both were horrible! The x90l beats it in so many ways, color accuracy, right out of the box, and as well beautiful picture from my experience!
Hi Brian,
1st of all, this is Great comparison video. I'm also looking forward eagerly for comparison of X90L with LG C2 or C3.
I'll do my best my friend
Great review. Plecase can You inform about the type of panel / display has the U7K în your video? Is an VA or an IPS display? I ask this becouse in Europe I have seen both în descriptions. Thank You!
Brian, I'd love to see similar comparisons between the X90L, U8K & X93L. I'm in the market and will likely pick up a new set during the Black Friday sales. I'm particularly interested in how the XR Clear Image on the X90L performs vs the X93L which doesn't have it. Is there a noticeable difference in noise, upscaling and motion processing? Also, I'm very annoyed by posterization and macroblocking as well and motion stutter so those factors are important to me.
You'll see the X90L vs X93L In a fee weeks
its a shame they didnt include XR clear on the X93L as that would of probably been the one I went with.. the X95L is awesome but has to come down in price bigtime for consideration.
I liked the U7K blacks and colors a little better than Sony's. Maybe it's just the exposure but I couldn't get rid of the feeling that Sony looked a little lifted/brighter.
It is because it's a plain ol LED TV.
Great comment!
@@paulcox2447 it is actually QLED
Everything is full on Hisense is not mean is good they need to do like Sony do setting mix it all together and make the perfect picture you can get is magic 🙌🏻
Got the u7k and it's phenomenal. Definitely beats my Samsung it replaced. The reflection handling and HDR looks amazing. I was debating between x85l and U8k but couldn't justify the price. X85l sony looked ok but u7k was way better. U8k definitely is more bright but price for u7k sealed the deal.
Hi,
I hope I can get your opinion on this.
Ive 85" Samsung QN90B.
I want to go bigger so U7K 100" Im thinking is cheap.
Would you recommend?
Don't get Samsung it doesn't support dolby vision, and trust me the quality difference is not worth the price.
@@Thefilmyfamily786 Thanks but I already have Samsung QN90B (paid £8k) its been over a year, its a great TV but I wana go bigger but dont wana spend more than £5k thats why I asked about U7K cuz its around £5k.
I have the u7k and love it@@saqqawattuhb7505
its probably not the same in every country, but i was actually deciding between the 2, then i happened to check my local electronics store, the x90L was on discount, and was around 75-100 dollars more than the u7k, i decided to get the sony, and did not regret it at all, such a solid tv
Hey u7k looks OLED like next to the x90L
I was enjoying the contrast and some of these scenes so much I forgot I wasn't looking at an OLED TV for a second.
Obviously an OLED going to look even more 3D than the u7k, the Sony is a very flat picture, but it does get very bright.
Just goes to show that regular size led can be just as good as mini LED. Processing matters soo much more than how many zones
I had a U7H briefly (returned it). Besides the pencil-eraser-sized black spot in the middle of the screen (between the panel and glass), it had major issues keeping sync with the Hisense sound-bar it bundled with, and PC input was flaky. It was plenty bright, and overall I liked using it. But it was clear the QA was very sub-par. Nervous to try again with the K series. Thinking of picking up this X90L instead. The A80L is tempting too, but not sure it's worth that much more money for my usage.
I purchased a U8K and returned it. Key problem: green (grass) color shifting when watching soccer. Image would go from sharp and detailed to blurry - and blurry spots. loved the color and image, but the color shifting was very distracting. Tried making adjustments, gut couldn't fix it. I then ready several reports as to the same. So that was the end of it. Moreover I was concerned as to overall quality. Paying for an additional $250 warranty was not reassuring.
As far as quality--Our samsung Q6 stopped working after only 28 months, tech said its a bad screen. Under warranty. We brought the 50" hisense from bedroom out to living room ,it keeps freezing ,drops whatever we are watching,goes back to menu.This is after resetting tv several times,going through troubleshooting. The hisemse has less then hundred hours of evening watch .So ,now Im looking at Lg or sony.
Does U7K have better looking picture or is it just my placebo effect considering price?
can't wait to see the U8K vs the X90L
As a very satisfied owner of an older 75 inch Sony, I have to say that the Hisense looks better to me with two exceptions: 1) color saturation is too much in some scenes, and 2) the contrast should be toned down a bit because it causes some loss of detail. Given the price differences I would go for the Hisense.
I still wouldn’t go for Hisense. I’m gonna buy a Sony since I have never owned before and the picture looks better to me.
the Hisense definitely appears to crush blacks, a trick used by both mini led and oled alike. actually kinda crazy how the X95L (not the one in this video, but the flagship of that series) both doesn't have black crush (for potentially the first time ever) *and* great bloom control. think they sacrificed a little bit of the crazy brightness for it this time, which to me is a good idea. guess sucks for the guys in US that you're only getting the one size for X95L, but still.
That's the problem with the hisense u7 is it will look great then you see a sunset and suddenly the entire picture has an orange tint. Like the grass looks orange. I've even seen blue water look turquoise before too. Thinking about just swapping to the sony
@@ben_2173 Did you watch the same video I just watched here? The Hisense blew away the Sony in every aspect!
Different sets I know but bought a 65" Hisense U6H last year for the living room. It's fine but recently got a 50" Sony X80K for next to nothing. Its color, motion handling, and image processing are so much better to the Hisense (despite the U6H's better specs) I'm selling it for a bigger and better Sony.
Thank you for sharing your experiences with both!
How is 1080p upscaling on both these TVs. I regularly hear Sony is best at upscaling and motion handling, but is it better enough to warrant the price premium?
I think I complained last time that these videos don't show a lot. In some sense TVs have adapted to these videos and vice versa.
They do show blooming on the Sony, and I think it's not too bad. What the videos don't show is what you can see in RTINGS - the trailing lighting zone transitions in their tests. You can't see it in this video because there's no content that is similar to that test.
And also the reason people don't buy Hisense is the concern about the quality control not about the picture and the technology. If that was the case all we would do is buy the cheapest Hisense or even TCL!
Also we can't see examples of stutter. That's a big problem in new TVs which is why everything in these perfect 4K stock videos moves so slow.
Lastly, people get Sony because of the upscaling.
And so once again these videos don't show that - although I am looking forward to your next video.
What calibration settings were used on the Hisense?
I can't wait to hear your thoughts about this Bro
I think you'll enjoy Majid!
@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY I'm even more excited 😆 many thanks bro, you the best.
@@MM-Official you are the best!
I’m really considering the U7K but how is the reliability and durability for Hisense nowadays?
Got X90L. Ticks most of my requirement.
Excellent! Hope you are loving it!
Based on this video uk7 colors are popping more....I have a Sony 65 oled so I could cut the cost this time around ...I like bright colors!
Its kind of hard to judge because Im limited by the limitations of my own TV, like when trying to see the differences with motion. The Sony looks more natural to me in terms of colors, but the Hisense in some scenes, particularly with white detail, seems to show more detail with that color, but they look very similar overall. Great video.
Edit...and after I type this, I saw a scene with snow and in that scene the x90l showed more detail, so it seems to vary so much scene to scene.
Perfectly said my friend! Thank you for watching
I don't think the Sony is set up very well here. It should best the U7K in color/quality and detail. The U8K competes with the X90L and TCL QM8. Have somebody skilled set this up and see the difference. I'm not even talking professionally calibrated. Filmaker mode is a must. Who cares what it looks like on UA-cam. Sony can make a TV look much better than TCL and Hisense. I'm not a huge fan of how much Sony marks up TVs, like Samsung and LG but, at least they know what they are doing. Grab settings off the internet and the Sony would look much better. Amateur hour. The U7K competes with the Q7.......end of story. He's also using an LG Qned 8K video. ;) The U8K is 200 dollars less than the X90L. The X90L is slightly better but, quality and panel lottery = Sony and LG.
@@UhhhhhnooOOo00oOSony TV X90L chip technology old technology no mini lead bat is stil good picture Sony can do better job on dish TV
@mordimeshita1754 I'm having trouble with your English. We have established that Sony beats Mini-LED Tvs with Direct backlit LEDs and with 100s of less dimming zones. The Hisense has the new BASE chip, that really is for budget models. Also, if you knew more about television technology, you'd know that there is only one true Mini-LED TV in the world. It's about 500,000 USD. Mini-LED retail is a thin layer pf Mini-LEDs, not a full Mini-LED TV. It's marketed as that. I'd take the Sony X90L any day of the week over the U7K and even the U8K and I'm not a Sony fan. They do the best processing. They can take an old outdated chip and process the hell out of the picture with better upscaling and colors.
@@UhhhhhnooOOo00oOI think you're confusing mini led and micro led, micro led is very expensive but mini led is like a half step between full array and micro led.
Brian, I have seen the 2023 LG version of the QNED80URA at Best Buy and it looks good at the store. . Could you compare the QNED80URA to Hisense U7K? Or do a full review of the LG?
I will if I can get my hands on it my friend
I ordered a u7k and should be here in a couple of days. I was thinking of going with the TCL Q7 but the Hisense offered next gen tv and wifi 6e. I do have concerns about quality. For both u7k and u8k some reviews have mentioned returning the TVs. For that reason, I may have gone with the Sony if budget allowed.. It is kind of embarrassing,but I actually killed a Hisense by changing my new router to wpa3 . the tv did not like that. even after going back no wifi. After factory reset, the TV would only stay on for a minute or lesss , not enough time to get through set up. If not for that misadventure, I would not have upgraded now.
how’d you like it?
Hello there i need a help, confused wither to go lg c3 77 inch or samsung s90c 77 inch? Any recommendations?
LOVE IT! amazing minds think alike
Is the U7K sharper than the X90L? The foliage looks very different @20:43. Even if it's a focusing thing, the U7K is way closer than it should be for the money. Are these ootb settings in standard?
The settings jump all over throughout the video from accuracy to vibrant
Hey brian still confused with g2 and c3 g2 has heatsync and overall a gallery design which I love but scared of the pink tint on it. C3 on the other hand is identical with better uniformity and newer model of 2023. Overall compared both have the same brightness and ABL after latest updates.
Would you take the 98 x90l or the qn90a 98?
I think it's real review. You can exactly compare the product.🎉🎉
I love Sony but the prices are way out there so the U7 K is for me for the price I like All I want to know does the hisense last longer does it have the option to turn the backlight down and does it have a decoda for Freesat here in the UK At the I have a LG 4k and Samsung curved UHD both on there last legs
To see the Hisense U7K go toe to toe with the Sony X90L at time's just tells me how far they have come which is a good thing. You can't go wrong with either one honestly. The only thing that would concern me is Hisense reliability which I have heard good and bad things. That all being said. Great video my brother as always.
Yeah the hisense is hundreds of dollars less. Will it last as long though?
True but you're at least able to get a 5yr warranty with it from Best Buy, and I think Costco (From what I seen someone say who bought it from there recently
best buy won't be around much more. so that warranty will be useless. Costco though not bad
@@12schnsaint the warranty isn't from Best Buy itself, it's through AllState or an insurance company, so even if Best Buy were to disappear, the warranty would be good.
For 600 bucks i wouldn't care honestly. Id be more concerned about blooming on a 1200$ TV.
Just bought the U7K 55 for $480 on sale at Best Buy. I was gonna buy a 50 LG QNED for $599 & The salesmen directed me to the U7K which the brand I knew nothing about & was worried about quality do to the price . It’s for my bedroom so I said I’ll give it a try . So far it’s been damn good and pretty good sound .
Awesome! So glad you are enjoying it. Thank you so much for watching
I bought the U7K in October hooked up to the Bose sound bar 600 and I have I love it
I just returned my 2nd TCL TV to BB. Reddit says TCL and Hisense have bad QC. I believe it. I'm leaning towards the U7 as number 3 but I have a feeling it will glitch like both TCL's. This time I'm buying from Costco with 90 day return period. I'm deciding between the Hisense vs Sony as we speak. I'm leaning towards the Sony even though the Hisense has better gaming specs. Such a pain returning 65" TV's even though they pick it up.
I completely understand my friend as I've been through it except Mine were 75" and 85" . Good luck with your next one
Go for the Sony mate. The sound is better. The smart system is better. You get movies included. The processing is far better which will benefit you far beyond this comparison. Sometimes products are cheaper for a reason.
Brian, throughout the video, the way you had the two TVs set up, I liked the U7K better, because of the colors and on the X90L the colors appeared a little more washed out. But at the end of the video, on the scene with the tree with the waterfall, you made adjustments on the X90L and it matched the U7K perfectly. I am not sure what settings that was. I was getting ready to declare the U7K the winner. Now, I am wondering if the X90L was set up as you did in the tree scene, maybe, I would pick the X90L. Also, you did not mention up type of display panel each one has. My TV will go on the wall above the fireplace, and I will be watching looking up. The viewing angle is important to me and I have to consider that. I heard the Hisense U8K 75” has an IPS display, which I understand has a better viewing angle. So, which display does the U7K 75” use?
??? The Sony has accurate colors while Hisense is very oversaturated. Even the X90K is on a whole other level
@@grantorino9049 Oh geez lol, another Sony fan boy! Are you blind, the video was pretty clear who the winner was?!
I loved every Sony TV I’ve owned… But I simply can’t excuse the price anymore. i’m going with the 65” Hisense… Probably.
Hisense for sure here Brian. I must admit im really excited for the A95L but im predicting it might be a little too bland for my tastes.
We will see very soon my friend
@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY Indeed...
I am leaning towards a 75 inch U7k for 899 over the Uk 8 and Sony. My fears of reliability are there though. Maybe the smart play is to test out a 55 inch Hisense for the bedroom and see how long it keeps rolling before I commit to a bigger TV and a bigger hassle to return, etc. I have a 2018 entry Sony that just looks good to me plus a nice soundbar.
This is what I did. I needed a bedroom and was gonna get a LG LCD Qned 50 inch for $599 but the sales guy at Best Buy pointed me towards the Hisense which I thought was just a cheap brand. Yes it’s a budget brand but it’s an incredible value. I got the 55 U7K for $480 on sale last week. Even told me I didn’t sound bar as the sound is pretty damn good for a bedroom. Tv and features are incredible for the money. I have no complaints. The negative is I worry about quality but I’ve read it’s solid. There is minor issues but it’s just my preference on a couple features. Overall the tv is beautiful
I ended up getting the 75 inch U8k. I really like it. It is not perfect like you said, but its damn good for the money. No regrets. There is always something better, no buyers remorse. It saved me some bucks too, I thought of upgrading my Sonos and will now not do that. The sound from the TV is plenty loud. @@patricktyler4712
I like the image shown by the Hisense U7K better than the Sony X90L in the video. I expected more comments on the performance of the Hisense, however the video only dealt with the Sony.
I'm concerned about viewing angle. Is the Sony that much better? How about at 35 degrees? Also, which is best at not crushing blacks in movies and which has the least stutter??
the problem I see, is that overall the u7k looks slightly better in blacks and color, and is much cheaper than the Sony, however I wonder for larger sizes (85") if the Sony is not better for upscaling.
On some instances for some reason the sony x90L looks washed and the Hisense U7k the colors tend to look over saturated. I think the only way to see the difference is if both TVs are calibrated. When I was looking for a tv I look at other brands and there is a tendency for most of them with the exception of Sony, it was the brightness and while the Sony is not the brightest, I saw the colors were more natural compared to the other brands like Samsung, TLC etc. So, I went with the X90L and so far, no regrets. I wonder what kind of lifespan tvs with high nits are going to last.
100%
I know this video is for the X90L, not the X90K, but I was wondering how you think the U7K compares to the Sony 75” Class BRAVIA XR X90K 4K. The Sony is on black Friday sale and now both the X90k and the U7K are sitting at $900 for the 75".
The X90K is still very good and I think the X90K matches up favorably against it! If you can grab the 75" for a good price I'd get it. I hope this helps and thank you so much for watching
Hola buenas noches Sony 89L vs hisense u8k?
Went to costco to look at tv’s last night and every single tv looked good. Every single one. My wife knows zero about tech and like the cheaper Sony displays more than anything else because of the detail so there you go. Id pick based on longevity and warranty which Hisense and TCL arent even close. Reminds me of KIA, they are making some of the flashiest suv’s right now and the general consumer sees the peacock effect and buys over something like Toyota or Lexus however, in 10 years, the plain cars will still be on the road and KIA’s will be recycled into scrap. There’s a reason why you can’t even buy a 10 year old 4runner. However, Costco offers 5 year warranty so that would make buying a Hisense alot easier and make the experiment almost intriguing
They usually don't offer the 5 year warranty on Hisense though, or some of the cheaper models from name brands. But I agree, a Costco last night had a sub-$600 Hisense right next to a >$2500 Samsung OLED and from in front you could hardly tell a difference.
Maybe it will help what room the Hisense will be in. Not sure I have confidence it would last 5 years as our living room TV. I have an entry level Sony from 2018 and its going just fine. I would like to try out the Hisense in our bedroom since that sees a fraction of the use compared to the living room. I think we could get 5 years out of it in that scenario.
WHY does the Tv screen on top look smaller ????????
anyone know ?
Hi Brian,
Hope you can help me to decide, I haven't had a new TV since 2011 I had an old 55" Samsung UN60ES8000 for a long time, it was savagely killed by the hands of an 11 year old boy that will be treated like an adult, well Im looking to get a new TV but is so hard so I have these models in mind but don't know which one is better between Q7, U7K, U8K, QM8 or a X9OL, we like to see Movies, Shows, Soccer, and Play PS, hope you can help me thank you.
In the space scene at around 6:10 the blooming looked terrible on both tvs.
Thanks Brian. I would go with Hisense. Cheaper and almost as good.
And Run half the time
And best fluidity ??
I purchased a Hisense U7K to replace my now dead H9G. I've had the U7k for 3 days and it is not as good on non HDR content. I stream my local TV channels through UA-camTV and do not get a good picture with U7K. I'm satisfied with the 4k content but think it's not as good as the H9n was. Am I missing some settings for watching youtubeTV everyday channels or should I return for the sony X90L?
For the price of the X 90 L, why not get an LG oled
U7k definitely bang for the buck.U7k vs U8k would be interesting.
The question is how compares the longevity of both! If the Hisense does it only half the time then it's more money than for the Sony... I've read that quality management at Hisense isn't high standard.
Unfortunately, only time will tell my friend . Great question and great comment. Thank you for watching
as a Sony fanboy I have to admit the Hisense looks better and for half the price. But if I was in need of a tv I would still get the Sony. SAD. I would also wait though because Im EXTREMELY frugal. id get that 75 x90l when it hit 1499 1399 or 1196 like it was when I got the 75 x90j.
It's an excellent TV and I believe it will also improve with size. Unfortunately, it did release very late on the year, but it will drop in price very soon. Thank you for watching
Quality almost on par, price is half 😅
I got the x900h is it worth upgrading to a x90l?
Where is the u8k video?
I own the 85" 93L and for weeks compared the 90L to the 93L and the 93 just popped so much more.. This Hisense U7K blows away the Sony 90L in every aspect, contrast, blacks pop etc.., This video reminds me when comparing the 93 to the 90l, same difference I see in this video! So surprised by your video, going to have to keep Hisense on the radar lol!!! What I am wondeingr about though is how these lower-level sets upscale low grade content!??
Hisense u7k is great❤The stars were more visible and i like the blacks but here in Asia u7k was totally different from north American model, it uses crappy vidaa os, sony processing is the best but we have to pay sony tax 😅
I'm sorry it's that way in Asia my friend. Thank you for the great comment and for letting me know. Thank you for watching
No way this comparison is legit the colors on my sony x90k are out of this world!!
It's legit! I own them both. Live color is only enabled on the Sony in certain presets. You may have it enabled at high. I only have it on in certain segments of this vid..
they seem so close to me. is the huge price difference worth it? Not if the hisense will last 4+ years....
Well, I'm watching this on my tablet. Hopefully either tv will be better than a tablet. Just like listening to a top end stereo on a phone.
Sony X90L Full Array VS Hisense U7K Mini LED so which one is better....
U7K is really impressive
It's very good, my friend especially for the money
Hi, please help me find the best 75" TV for 1400 EUR including tax. It must include IMAX Enhanced, HDR (HDR10, Dolby Vision), 100Hz, and Dolby Atmos.
One thing the budget brands can’t touch is the image processing of Sony
Hello guys. Please advise me. Lg qned 86 2023 or sony x90l? Which one would be better?
For me, it's the x90l. The QNED is a 2022 carryover. QNED is launching again this year . If you can wait and see, QNED might be an option. If you want or need or need to buy now, then go x90l. Hope this helps, and thank you for watching .
I do not know how much is sony in US but i paid 597 dollars for U7K 55 inch in UK.
Hisense looks way better, the emerald at 14:38 is very nice on the U7K. I am happy to own one.
Personally, it went back and forth depending on the image. My only concern with Hisense is the reliability, but I am darn close to biting on a 55 inch for 479 for a bedroom TV maybe even that 75 for 899
I did a lot of research there is a site that compares them all, black levels and everything. Hisense has good value.
In Europe, very important notice, 75U7K i get for 1200 EUR. Sony 75X9L for 2400 - 2700 eur (Sony is very expensive in EU). So, that this two TV's is even possible to compare, is great for Hisense. I can buy 2 Hisenses for one Sony. So i expect Sony to be much much better TV. And is it?
Notice 2: Specs of Hisense in the USA are not the same as in EU? Still?
Sony XL90L without a doubt is better than the Hisense U7K. When I factor in the price, I don't think the Sony is twice as good but it is twice the money. Based on the value to performance ratio, I will take the Hisense. One unknown factor is longevity. I have had Sony TVs and they are reliable. I don't know the reliability of the Hisense though.
Exactly, these Chinese brand tvs degrade over time. Exactly after warranty some times. But sony even after a decade its same as new.
@@PVivekmca That may have been the case years ago, but nowadays all of them are capable of bonking out in a very short time. It's a crap shoot so best is just to go with the economics. Don't pay too much and it'll be less painful if it dies on you.
Would the Q7 be a contender as well?
Absolutely!
I’m a sony x85J user, bought it in January 2022, just a week ago the lcd panel on my 85j is blurry and then went black, the warranty is off and the customer service ask me to buy and change the lcd panel set, which cost about 50% of the new this year X85L, i mean come on Sony only 2 years then it breakdown.
and now I plan to replace the sony with new a hisense
Ps: i’ve found so many similiar problem hapenned with the 2021/22 J line up
Happen to me as well. Sony build quality seems degrading for sure and now im looking for more reasonable price and falling for U7K as my replacement of my Sony X90J
The Sony screens do seem to be a weak point. Had a Sony Bravia where the screen went black a month out of warranty. Still had sound, but not much good without a picture!
I went to a very good repair shop I know and the owner who's repaired items in the past for me said it's the one make he can't do anything with as he couldn't get the screens for them. Ended up tossing it down my local refuse centre. People go on about "Is Hisense reliable?" ect ect but I would say the truth is they are no less reliable than any other brand, top end brands included. I have a Hisense u7k now as I came to the conclusion that your better off getting the best specs you can for the least outlay and at least that way if it blinks out it aint going to hurt as much.
Price of one Sony X90L = 2 Hisense U7K, so 2 TVs for the price of one. That's a pretty good deal, and the Hisense does look quite good too.
That's a very good way of looking it. Thank you for watching
Thanks for your amazing and high quality reviews @@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY . Really enjoyed, just subscribed to your channel!
You should compare with u8k 2023
You'll see the U8K next! Thank you for watching.
