The verdict
A good fit for value-minded viewers in dim or moderately lit rooms who want Mini LED dimming and Dolby Vision without paying for a premium set. Gamers should choose the 75-inch or larger for 144Hz and HDMI 2.1, and anyone who dislikes Fire TV should plan on adding a separate streaming stick.
The QD7 (QD7QF) is Hisense's 2025 entry-level Mini LED TV, with quantum dot color, Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos and Amazon's Fire TV platform, sold from 50 to 100 inches. The sizes split in two: the 50, 55 and 65-inch models have 60Hz panels and four HDMI 2.0 inputs, while the 75, 85 and 100-inch get 144Hz panels, two HDMI 2.1 inputs and FreeSync Premium. On the 65-inch, Tom's Guide measured a Delta-E of 1.75 and 9.4 ms of input lag and named it its best budget TV, but measured only 659 nits of HDR brightness and found Fire TV very slow.
Strengths
- Accurate color for the money: Tom's Guide measured a Delta-E of 1.75 in Filmmaker Mode on the 65-inch.
- Very low input lag of 9.4 ms in Tom's Guide's test, the lowest among the rivals it compared.
- Full-array Mini LED local dimming and quantum dot color at a budget price.
- Dolby Vision, Dolby Vision Gaming, HDR10+ Adaptive and Dolby Atmos are all supported.
- Tom's Guide praised its upscaling of poor-quality video and its surprisingly strong bass.
Weak spots
- The 50, 55 and 65-inch sizes are limited to 60Hz with four HDMI 2.0 inputs, so no 4K 120Hz console gaming.
- Dim for HDR: Tom's Guide measured 659 nits in a 10% window in Filmmaker Mode and saw little defense against glare.
- Tom's Guide found the Fire TV interface painfully slow, including a 50-second startup.
- ATSC 1.0 tuner only, with no ATSC 3.0.
- Voices sounded muffled in the default Standard sound mode until switched to Movie mode, per Tom's Guide.
Great for
- Budget buyers who want Mini LED dimming and Dolby Vision
- Movie nights in dim rooms
- Big 75 to 100-inch screens for casual gaming
Skip if
- Bright, sunny rooms
- Gamers who want 120Hz on a 65-inch or smaller set
- People who dislike Fire TV's ads and menus

Lab review of the 65-inch. Liked the faithful color, standout upscaling of old shows, low lag and booming bass; disliked the dim HDR, glare handling, 60Hz panel with HDMI 2.0 only and a sluggish Fire TV system that took close to a minute to boot.
Read the originalRanks the 65-inch QD7 as its top budget TV overall for its vivid color and shadow detail, while noting motion blur from the 60Hz panel and the weak Fire TV software.

Does the US QD7 run Google TV?
No. Hisense sells the US QD7QF with Amazon's Fire TV. Tom's Guide notes that versions sold in other countries use Google TV.
