So what’s the deal with the TV? This is a Hisense TV that’s a bit lower on the range compared to the more expensive Hisense U8H model that we reviewed a few weeks ago. Being a bit lower in the range means missing out on a few features, like being a regular LED-LCD TV rather than a Mini-LED TV and the lack of a quantum dot filter. That said, just because it’s missing some high-end features doesn’t mean the Hisense A7H is an awful TV. As I mentioned, there’s lots to appreciate here. Besides the extra screen real estate, this TV supports Dolby Vision and DTS Virtual: X and comes with Google Assistant built-in. Because it uses Google TV as its smart platform, you’ll be able to Cast to this TV no problem and have shows and movies recommended to you as Google TV learns what kind of content you like to watch. With Google TV, you’ll have access to Netflix, Disney Plus and HBO Max, among other streaming services, which is great if you don’t want to connect any streaming stick or a game console. So who shouldn’t buy this TV? Serious gamers shouldn’t because this TV’s refresh rate is limited to 60Hz. That’s not great for folks who want to play the PS5 or Xbox Series X at their highest settings, and that means PC gamers looking for a living room screen should probably pass on it, too. Still, this is a great option for movie and TV watchers, and at this price you won’t be able to find a cheaper 85-inch TV. Looking for more recommendations?
