Hisense 2025 Review

Picture quality is elite (94th percentile) on a massive 100-inch screen, and it includes a soundbar. For around $2,430, that's a lot of TV. Just know gaming and HDR performance are below average, so it's a specialist for movies, not an all-rounder.

The Hisense 100U75QG is a 100-inch Mini-LED TV that comes bundled with a 3.1-channel soundbar system, all for a price that's surprisingly low for the screen size. The headline here is the picture quality, which lands in the 94th percentile. That means it's outperforming the vast majority of TVs in our database for pure image clarity and color. For the price, you're getting a massive screen with solid smart features (68th percentile) and decent connectivity, though it's clear where the compromises were made to hit that cost.

Let's talk about that 94th percentile picture. This is where the Mini-LED backlight and quantum dot color really shine. You get deep blacks and vibrant colors that make movies and shows pop. The native 165Hz panel is a big deal for gaming, but the overall gaming performance score sits at the 37th percentile. That tells us the high refresh rate is there, but other gaming-centric features like input lag or HDR performance might not be as polished as on dedicated gaming TVs. Speaking of HDR, it's in the 32nd percentile, which is a bit of a letdown given the 'Total HDR Solution' branding. The bundled audio system scores in the 36th percentile, so while it's convenient and better than built-in TV speakers, it's not going to replace a dedicated home theater setup.

At around $2,430 for a 100-inch Mini-LED TV and a soundbar, the value proposition is hard to ignore. You're essentially paying for the panel and getting the audio as a bonus. When you break down cost per inch, it's aggressively low compared to giants like Sony or Samsung. The trade-off is in the performance details—you're getting top-tier picture but middling scores in gaming, HDR, and audio. For someone who wants a massive, great-looking screen for movies and TV without chasing the absolute best in every category, this is a compelling deal.

Stacked against the competition, the Hisense 100U75QG is the budget giant. The TCL QM8 offers better HDR and gaming scores for a similar price, but you'd be looking at a much smaller screen. The Sony BRAVIA 5 will crush it in processing, motion, and overall polish, but you'll pay two or three times as much for an 85-inch model. The Hisense U6 Series is a step down in panel technology and likely lacks the 165Hz refresh. If your priority is sheer screen real estate with good picture quality for the money, this Hisense wins. If you care more about perfect HDR or competitive gaming, the TCL QM8 or a higher-end LG OLED are better bets, even on a smaller screen.

Skip this if you're a competitive gamer or a videophile who lives for perfect HDR. The 37th percentile gaming score and 32nd percentile HDR score mean you're making real compromises in those areas. Also, if you have a smaller room or sit close, a 100-inch screen is overkill—you'd be better off with a higher-performing 75-inch or 85-inch model from TCL or Sony.

This is a TV for the size-obsessed who are smart with their budget. The 94th percentile picture quality on a 100-inch screen is the real story, and it makes movies and sports look fantastic. We can't ignore the weaker scores in gaming and HDR, so hardcore gamers or videophiles chasing perfect shadow detail should look elsewhere. But for turning your living room into a home theater on a reasonable budget, the Hisense 100U75QG package delivers where it counts most.
