#HISENSE PICTURE SIZE DOT BY DOT GREYED OUT PRO#
I got the chance to spend around three hours with the 65R7, which was just enough time to test out some gaming content ( Wipeout: Remastered Collection on the PS4 Pro and Forza Horizon 4), how the 65R7 handles streaming through its in-built apps, Netflix/Stan/Animelab through the console, and a bit of Black Panther through a Blu-Ray. The caveat there is that the 65R6 is selling for $1849 instead, so you get what you pay for. But the R7 series does at least have better HDR support and a higher motion smooth rate than the R6 models, which only support HDR10, don’t have ultra local dimming and won’t have Google Assistant support later this year. The 65R7 model I tested didn’t have a quantum dot technology, which is limited to the R8 and R9 series (due out July and later this year, respectively). Retailing for $2499–a price which will probably halve come Black Friday, but some retailers have already dropped it to $2000–the baseline model comes with wide colour gamut, Dolby Vision HDR, 10-bit support, Hisense’s VIDAA 3.0 AI-powered platform, four HDMI 2.2 ports, a toggleable Game Mode (more on that later), PVR playback and a couple of USB ports. I had the chance to play around with one of the latest 2019 TVs from HiSense, specifically the 65-inch 7 ULED 4K HDR TV. That’s especially true if you’re picking up a more affordable brand or an older model. Whatever TV you buy, you should always spend some time digging into the system settings.
