Hisense Unveils 2025 TV Lineup: A Comprehensive Breakdown
Hisense, a leading electronics manufacturer, has unveiled its 2025 TV lineup, offering a range of models catering to various budgets and performance requirements. Here's a breakdown of the key offerings:
Budget-Friendly QD Models (e.g., QD6, QD7)
Positioned as Hisense's most affordable offerings, these Quantum Dot LED (QLED) models are aimed at value buyers. They feature Quantum Dot color enhancement, standard LED backlight (not Mini-LED), basic HDR support, and a smart TV platform. Fewer advanced gaming/AV extras are present compared to the ULED lines.
Mini-LED ULED Models (e.g., U7 Series, 100U75Q)
These models boast Mini-LED technology with Full-Array Local Dimming, offering improved lighting control and picture quality. The 100-inch U7 model, for instance, boasts 256 local dimming zones. These sets deliver Mini-LED Pro capabilities, reaching up to ~3,000 nits peak brightness, and Quantum Dot color for wide gamut and strong HDR impact.
High-Performance Value Models (e.g., U8 Series, U8QG)
These models are positioned as the "sweet spot" in Hisense's 2025 lineup, offering a balance of performance and value. The U8QG model, for instance, features a listed peak brightness of ~5,000 nits and integrated 4.1.2-channel surround sound on some sizes. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 6E and features targeted at streaming and cloud gaming.
Flagship ULED Models (e.g., U9 Series, U9QG)
The U9 Series represents Hisense's top-tier offerings, including the U9QG, which is available in a 65-inch size, in addition to larger options that feature 5.1.2 surround sound. These models offer even greater brightness than the U8 and improved HDR processing. The U9QG, for example, boasts a 65-inch model with a 4.1.2 multi-channel surround sound system.
