The Chinese company has extended its U9H, U8H, U7H, U6H,
A7H, A6H and A4H series as well as its Laser TV range (a short throw projector
with screen included).
The new TVs belong to the ULED line, Laser TV line and the
entry level smart TV line. All offerings feature a 4K panel, except for the
A-series models.
While Hisense seemed hesitant to adopt Google TV alongside
last year’s models, the company is fully embracing the new experience with its
new lineup. Everything from Hisense’s high-end QLED models down to
super-affordable budget models will be running Google TV out of the box.
Starting at the high end, the Hisense U9H will have a single
75-inch, $3,199 mini-LED model. The U9H can hit 2,000 nits of brightness, has
1,280 local dimming zones, uses Quantum Dot technology, and supports Dolby
Vision and Dolby Vision IQ alongside other HDR formats. The U9H will launch in
late summer.
Stepping down to a more reasonable $1,099 starting price, the Hisense U8H series will include 55-inch, 65-inch, and 75-inch sizes. These all include mini-LED technology along with Quantom Dot technology and a 120Hz refresh rate. Peak brightness tops out at 1,500 nits with Dolby Vision IQ and other HDR formats supported.
These TVs also pack support for variable refresh
rate over HDMI and low-latency modes for gaming consoles. Like the Hisense U8G
we reviewed last year, Google Assistant is also supported with built-in
microphones for “Hey Google” support. The U7H series, with its 55-, 65-, 75-,
and 85-inch sizes mostly matches the U8H series on specs with 120Hz refresh
rate support and more, just at a lower starting price of $799. These models
will go on sale in mid-summer 2022.
The Hisense U6H series is the last of the company’s ULED
lineup this year, with a starting price of $579 for the 55-inch model and going
up on 65-inch and 75-inch models. The main drawback of this version is the use
of a 60Hz refresh rate, but with support retained for variable refresh rate,
Dolby Vision IQ, Quantum Dor, and other key features.
Meanwhile, Hisense’s budget lineup is also getting Google
TV, with the A7H and A6H series offering the new experience from $299 and up.
The A6H series includes 43-, 50-, 55-, 65-, and 75-inch sizes starting at $299
with 4K resolution, and the A7H is an 85-inch model that costs $1,699. These
TVs lack features such as variable refresh rate but still support low-latency
input, Dolby Vision, and more.
Meanwhile, the A4H series will start at a mere $199 with
32-, 40-, and 43-inch sizes starting at that super-low price with a 2K screen.
These budget-friendly TVs will all be available this spring.
Hisense is also launching the PX1-Pro TriChoma Laser Cinema
today for $3,999, and the L5G 4K Smart Laser TV starting at $4,499, both using
Android TV.
