Hisense A7N: What Real Users Say About Budget 4K

There's A LOT of tv snobs here who don't understand the need for a sub 500 dollar tv but last year when I was replacing my garage tv I did a ton of comparisons and research on rtings and came to the conclusion to get the Hisense A7N. It was the brightest in the sub 500 dollar range. The TCL S5 was a close or comparable 2nd. The Samsung was okay and the LG just wasn't even in the same ballpark picture wise. I can say that for about 8 months now I've been super happy with my 65" Hisense A7N.

For sub $500 avoid the big names. Samsung, LG don't have the same value as Hisense, Vizio, or TCL at that low of cost.

Stay away from any of the Hisense A-series TVs, they have poor pictures and the OS doesn't have enough memory to run properly. I've seen several A-6 TVs that had to be rebooted at least weekly or the OS would get unresponsive and take 30 seconds or more to respond to a press of a remote key. Reboot cleared it up indicating insufficient memory.

HDR and Dolby Vision will automatically engage when content that is encoded in one of those formats is played, plenty of content providers have shows/movies streaming in the formats. VRR is for video game consoles and PC gaming, no video content will use this. Once one of those types of content is being played you should see the different modes when going into the picture settings.

I can't even see the motion blur.

I have the 43" a7n games look good on it HDR and Dolby Vision looks awesome on it only problem is screen flicker on variable refresh rate with a Dolby Vision game.

Got my son a Hisense for his Series S and can confirm it looks better than my asus monitor (with series X) lol my monitor has frames but the colors and textures on the Hisense are literally insane.

This TV is driving me crazy. It will not do 4K Dolby vision at 60hz. I've tried the onn 4k pro, Chromecast 4k, fire stick 4k max 2 and a shield. All of them will do 4k 60hz HDR but only 30hz 4K Dolby vision. I cannot change HDMI format to enhanced. It will not enable even though I change HDMI cables or even connect the PS5.

I have exactly the same motion blur problem. I searched everywhere, tried several settings but it didn't change much. The only thing that helped me when I had a problem with the light was unplugging my TV for 10 seconds and plugging it back in. This solved that problem but not the blurred motion problem.

a7n is a nice tv; friend of mine got one and it looks good.

The A7 series is definitely not in the 'mid'-tier category. Very much a budget/value-oriented TV. Not that there's anything wrong with that – if that's what fits the amount you are comfortable spending, then great. Just don't expect amazing picture quality and jaw-dropping HDR compared to a TV that costs 2 or 3 times as much. With that understanding in place, the A7 can still be considered a good pickup and a great value for what you're getting at the price you're spending.

HDMI Forum VRR is configured on the source side, AMD Freesync can be enabled in the menu but it's not that useful unless you're PC Gaming. DV is activated automatically when the TV detects the DV flag from a source such as HDMI input, internal app, USB drive file playback or games console. Same with HDR10+ and HLG. There's no menu option to force what HDR mode the TV is in.

I used my Xbox to configure the color and brightness including the blue filter and my picture looks amazing for all my games especially with the Dolby Vision. I'm curious if you know if this TV will support using the PC RGB color space.

Value for price seems great. If I find a way to make space I'll see if I could get a u7 but otherwise I'll stick with the a7.

TCL Q750G is 400 on Best Buy, and it's an excellent gaming option. Otherwise, the TCL Q651G is your best option under 300. The 50" is $279 and 43 inch is $219. Brightest, best gaming features, best contrast and HDR performance though only 60hz.

Personally, for budget TVs, I prefer TCL over Hisense purely for their quality control track record. If all you care about is getting a dirt cheap 75" screen, then I would get a TCL Q651G. It has no local dimming and taps out around 370 nits in terms of brightness, so while it technically accepts an HDR signal, it will not play back HDR in any decent quality.

Forget about the A7 since I assume this will be your main living room TV. The U6 and U7 are both great but the U7 is better but more expensive.

The U6N is a solid choice. It's pretty much the most affordable TV that has an effective local dimming feature, so I think you're going to be impressed with the image quality it has, especially if you're coming from an older 42" 1080p model.

The E7N is generally considered the better choice compared to the A7N, as it offers superior picture quality with features like local dimming, making it better for darker environments and delivering more impactful contrast, while the A7N is a more basic option with decent image quality for a lower price point.

Connect your gaming console, set HDMI to enhanced and then you set your VRR.

That's what's great about Hisense TV — price for the bang. Have fun playing your games.

100% disagree, early on 43 inch a7n owner here. Did I expect picture quality of a 55 inch u7? Of course not but for me it's perfect size for small apt, has all the hdr kinds u can think of including dolby vision and to me honestly the picture isn't bad at all in a dark room. Now if in a mostly bright room I'd look elsewhere too much glare and blooming would be ruining picture too much. Plus the VRR, ALLM, on my xbox series is dope. So it really comes down to each individuals financially situation.

My parents were in a similar situation as you, first TV upgrade in a long time, wanted 70"+, similar budget, and I researched for them and landed on that Hisense. It's been several months now and they still love it. Rtings lists it as their budget pick for a 70-75" today. Don't think you'll be disappointed with anything you listed, but the Hisense has a good picture and a feature or two others at this price point are lacking.

It is a bit hard to see from my video, not as bad as it is in person. But I think on that last clip it's very obvious. No motion blur on my parents' Samsung 50" 4k that costs about the same and it doesn't have this kind of issue.

I just got the 75A7N yesterday (replacing a 70H6570G that suddenly stopped booting). I didn't think that going from a 70" screen to 75" would be that much of a difference, but this thing looks frigging huge in comparison. I had been thinking about an 85" but the extra cost stopped me, and I am now glad that it did.

The A7N is a VA panel.

Rtings also thinks the 43 inch model shares the exact same picture settings options as the bigger sizes which is 100% false. Go look under the settings tab and if you own this tv you can immediately tell the bigger sizes have more custom picture options, which is normal.

I also have a high end Hisense TV, and while the picture is incredible for the price, the processor is slower and sometimes it's very noticeable when navigating menus and loading apps. I think the A7N also might have subpar motion processing which I am quite sensitive to.

The A7 and E7 seem very similar but both Currys and Amazon have the A7 at a higher price. It's safe to assume it's marginally better but it might not be noticeable — could it be the coating used, matte versus shiny?

Go for the A7 it's got better specs.

The issue is with the 4K Firestick. I was watching something on BBC iPlayer on the stick and was getting motion judder, so I tried watching the same HDR movie on my Virgin Media Box and there was no judder. The issues are NOT with Hisense.

Thinking to get the 43" for productivity monitor, so the 60hz won't be a problem. Saw that there was in fact a mode on it to switch to lower FHD res to get 120hz for gaming — hoping it is true for all sizes in this class. Hard not to since I'm not a gamer, and most flat screens until recently, other than gamer sets and top top tier ran at 60hz native anyway.

Got motion blur on mine bought today. Happens with fire stick or the inbuilt apps. On mine it only seems to happen on HDR/Dolby Vision content.

For your budget and size it's the best value TV (along with the similar TCL QM6) and it's currently on a big sale. You did well.

Can't say enough good things about Hisense. Got a 65 inch 4k 120hz for 800 bucks a few Black Fridays ago. Best 800 bucks spent.

I'm planning on buying the 43" one to use as a monitor (mainly reading and coding) and was wondering if the text was clear? Like is the text blurry or pixelated or is there some other problem?

The Hisense U6 is available for $299 at Walmart. That's your best bet for outdoors. Much brighter than cheap TVs. I've got one in my outdoor kitchen and it works great.

Rtings says these are VA panels not IPS.

None of the updates fixed any of the motion settings, apps constantly crash and TV restarts whenever, WiFi drops out. Money is better spent on any other TV brand.

It's a bad TV from an unreliable brand, that's all. Try TCL, they have much better motion.
