7.0

Overall rating

When looking at the Hisense E7NQ PRO in everyday use, it is immediately clear that this is a television designed with a wide audience in mind. The picture, while not immediately striking, gains a lot after proper calibration. The colours then appear more natural, and the brightness at around 500 cd/m² makes it easy to comfortably watch in a sunny living room. The wide viewing angles offered by the IPS panel are an added bonus – we no longer have to fight for the best spot on the couch. Dolby Vision can enhance the overall experience, while in SDR mode the TV displays a really pleasant picture. Sports and gaming fans will find even more reasons to be satisfied here. The high refresh rate (144 Hz) ensures smooth movements of the ball across the field, and low latency, VRR, ALLM, and compatibility with G-Sync and Dolby Vision in games caters to those who value responsiveness and immersive gaming experiences. Because of all this, the E7NQ PRO becomes an interesting option for computer gamers as well. The VIDAA system works quite efficiently – there are plenty of apps available, although it lacks typical music apps like Spotify or Tidal. However, you can count on recording, AirPlay, mirroring, and decent compatibility with wireless devices. Yes, there are some shortcomings and imperfections – especially regarding subtitle support from USB or perfect management of brightness and contrast, and the lack of HGIG may disappoint the most demanding gamers. When we gather all impressions and experiences, the E7NQ PRO emerges as a device that will perform well in many situations. It has its advantages – such as wide viewing angles, pleasant picture after calibration, plenty of additional features, and great motion fluidity in sports or gaming. At the same time, it's worth remembering that this is not a television intended for those seeking perfect experiences for evening screenings in complete darkness. In low light, the shortcomings of contrast and black levels become more obvious, which is why we suggest that those planning mainly evening viewing consider alternatives among competitors. Nonetheless, as a versatile solution for everyday use – from watching television in a bright living room to playing console and computer games – the E7NQ PRO performs quite solidly.

Visibility of details in the lights:

The Hisense E7NQ PRO we've tested, in the 65-inch version, uses an IPS panel, which unfortunately isn't known for high contrast. As a result, black appears slightly "washed out" and occasionally takes on a silvery hue, which is clearly visible in our pictures. The manufacturer tried to address this by equipping the TV with local dimming functionality. Unfortunately, in this 65-inch model, we only have 32 zones available, which, while it helps a bit, is definitely not enough to achieve truly impressive results – especially since the panel itself cannot provide a cosmic depth of black.

During testing, we observed highly varied results. Under optimal conditions, it managed to reach around 7800:1, which can be considered decent; however, in more challenging scenes, the contrast dropped to around 2000:1. Such values are at best average and simply do not befit a TV in this price range. Ultimately, while local dimming somewhat salvages the situation, what’s really lacking here is true deep, inky black and contrast that would leave a greater impression on us.

Based on the luminance chart, which indicates around 550 nits, it can be considered that Hisense E7NQ PRO theoretically has the potential to somewhat "enchant" us with its HDR image. Testing various scenes from movies, we noticed that the television continually tries to balance between maintaining appropriate brightness and preserving the deepest blacks. In favourable conditions – such as in a scene from “The Meg”, where the screen is flooded with bright light – this brightness can indeed impress us. At such moments, we feel that HDR actually adds that "something" to the image. Unfortunately, when difficult shots with fine, bright elements on a dark background appear on the screen, the situation looks much worse. Brightness then drops to 200-300 nits, which is definitely too little to really distinguish HDR from standard SDR.

It is clear that the television is trying, but the hardware limitations – mainly the small number of local dimming zones – prevent it from fully spreading its wings. The end result can therefore be quite inconsistent and as average as the contrast tests. On the plus side, it deserves credit for its impressive coverage of the DCI-P3 colour gamut at 97%. This allows the television to present a truly wide range of colours, which, in the right scenes, can give us at least a glimpse of the real HDR effect. It’s just a shame that the whole picture isn't complemented by better control of brightness and contrast.

Scene from the movie “Pan” (about 2800 nits)

Scene from the movie “Billy Lynn” (about 1100 nits)

We tried even more demanding scenes, drawing on clips from the films “Pan” and “Billy Lynn”. Unfortunately, we also faced some issues here. In the most challenging sequence from “Pan”, the television clearly “blows out” the image – it lacks saturation, and the tonal quality seems to escape, leaving us with a somewhat washed-out, depthless vision. Fortunately, it’s not always that bad. The scene from “Billy Lynn”, where we have both the hero in the foreground and fireworks in the background, performed much better. The actor’s face was rendered correctly, and the colourful explosions did not merge into one shapeless blob of light. This shows that the television can manage, at least sometimes, with difficult shots.

Hisense has equipped this model with a dynamic tone mapping feature, which theoretically should help in even more demanding moments. In practice, however, when we activated it, the picture became overly brightened, which only intensified the problem. Therefore, although this option exists, we recommend caution – turning it on often causes more harm than good. As a result, we again have mixed impressions. The television can sometimes show its “claws” and remind us that HDR is not just a marketing slogan, but on the other hand, in difficult scenes, it still lacks stability and coherence.

HDR luminance chart:

E7NQ PRO offers several types of HDR to choose from: static HDR10 and more advanced formats like Dolby Vision and HDR10+. During our tests, we noticed that switching between these modes can result in a gain or loss of image quality. With standard HDR10, the screen doesn’t look too bad, but when we switch to Dolby Vision, the difference is immediately noticeable. We see deeper blacks, better tone gradation, and a greater number of visible details. Overall, we feel that Dolby Vision better ‘squeezes’ the potential out of this television, making the image appear fuller and more natural. HDR10+ can also improve certain aspects, but it is Dolby Vision that, in our opinion, provides the most consistent and convincing effect. Thanks to it, the content being viewed looks more cinematic and can draw us deeper into the heart of the action.

Smoothness of tonal transitions

9.2/10

We must honestly admit that the fluidity of tonal transitions in this TV is right at the top of what we've had the opportunity to test in 2024. Even in really demanding scenes, we hardly notice any noticeable "steps" between colours. Yes, with a keen eye, one might spot some minor flaws, but that's at a level that's almost microscopic. You really need to have a very "alert" eye to catch them. This, in turn, means that when watching even the most complex shots in a full spectrum of colours, you can simply focus on the story and visual impressions without the annoying, artificial effect of posterization.

Image scaling and smoothness of tonal transitions

6/10

Smooth transition function

Image without overscan on the SD signal

When it comes to the tonal transition smoothing function in lower quality materials, the “smooth and gradient image” feature in Hisense E7NQ PRO unfortunately does not impress. At the lowest setting, the change is barely noticeable – it's more of a cosmetic improvement. Switching to “Medium” mode does produce a noticeable effect, but it's still nothing special, and the TV starts to excessively interfere with other elements of the image, which can look unnatural.

Image scaling is also rather average. On the test screen, where a portrait of a model and text are displayed, there are slight frays at the edges, making the overall presentation less smooth and aesthetic than we would expect in this class of device. It's just hard to talk about really effective improvement of lower resolution quality here.

Blur and motion smoothness

7/10

Maximum refresh rate of the panel: 144Hz

Film motion smoothing option: Yes

Blur reduction option: Yes

BFI function 60Hz: No

BFI function 120Hz: No

Thanks to the use of a 144 Hz panel, E7NQ PRO performs exceptionally well with almost any type of content. Whether we're watching fast-paced matches, dynamic games or action films – the fluidity of motion leaves a good impression. When it comes to movies, the manufacturer has equipped the TV with two key tools: “motion blur reduction” and “judder reduction.” Each of these functions can be adjusted on a scale from 1 to 10.

At lower values, the processing is subtle, barely noticeable, and gently smooths motion without ruining the cinematic character of the image. The higher we move up the scale, the more clearly the TV interferes with the presented material, smoothing motion more aggressively, thereby minimising any judders or micro-cuts. Conversely, the highest settings can resemble the so-called “soap opera effect,” which makes the image look overly smooth, slightly losing its cinematic atmosphere. Thanks to this scale, however, we can find a happy medium, adjusting motion fluidity to our own preferences.

Blur (native resolution, maximum refresh rate):

When it comes to smearing, although IPS generally performs reasonably well, here we can notice some minor shortcomings. On darker backgrounds, from time to time we can see a slight "glow" trailing behind moving objects. It's nothing drastic, but upon close observation, it will draw attention.

Game bar: Yes

If we sometimes like to turn on the console and immerse ourselves in the world of games for long hours, E7NQ PRO can make a really good impression. Thanks to the 144 Hz refresh rate, the gameplay is surprisingly smooth, and support for HDMI 2.1 and VRR ensures that the image doesn't "tear" even during the most dynamic actions. Additionally, there's ALLM, which automatically sets the lowest latency as soon as we switch to the console – so we don’t have to fiddle around in the options ourselves.

A big plus is also the ability to launch games in Dolby Vision, which makes colors and contrast simply look better. Hisense has also included a clear "gamebar," allowing us to continuously monitor the key parameters and change settings without leaving the game. The only thing we might slightly regret is the lack of HGIG support. It may not be a crucial element, but for some gamers, it can matter if they aim for the most faithful reproduction of the creators' vision. Nevertheless, in practice, the E7NQ PRO performs excellently and delivers truly enjoyable gaming experiences.

Input lag

9.9/10

In this regard, Hisense E7NQ PRO really performs well. At a frequency of 60 Hz, we recorded around 15 ms, and at 120 Hz, the input lag drops to as low as 6 ms, allowing for very quick reactions and smooth controls in games. It's also worth mentioning that even in Dolby Vision mode, the input lag doesn't drastically increase. This means we can enjoy better image quality without sacrificing responsiveness, which will definitely please any avid gamer.

Connecting E7NQ PRO to a computer will give us no reasons to complain. Overall readability of fonts is quite good, although with very thin horizontal lines (the so-called "roofs" of letters), we noticed a slight dimming. It’s not a big issue, but worth mentioning if we plan to spend long hours in text editors or browsing the web.

On the other hand, when it comes to gaming on PC, the TV shows its true colours. Support for G-Sync, connection to a 144 Hz panel, and low input lag ensure that even the most demanding titles run smoothly and responsively. As a result, we have a screen that works well not only with a console but also as a solid "window" into the world of PC entertainment.

Viewing angles

6.5/10

Brightness drop at an angle of 45 degrees: 69%

In the case of Hisense E7NQ PRO, viewing angles are definitely a strong point, thanks to the IPS panel. This means that when we look at the screen even from a significant angle, the colours and brightness do not "drop off" as much as they do in TVs with VA panels. Of course, compared to OLED or QD-OLED screens, where the image remains virtually unchanged from any side, IPS still comes up short. Nevertheless, among LCD TVs, it is difficult to find a solution that guarantees such good viewing angles as those offered by IPS. Unfortunately, everything has its price – in this case, one must come to terms with average black levels and lower contrast.

TV efficiency during daytime

6.2/10

Matrix coating: Satin

Reflection suppression: Good

Black levels during daytime: Very Good

On a bright day, E7NQ PRO performs quite well. The "satin" panel diffuses light effectively, so reflections and glare don't turn into distracting "spots" on the screen. With average brightness at around 500 cd/m², you can comfortably watch television in a sunlit room without much struggle to see details or clear content. It may not reach the level of the top premium models, but in everyday use, it still performs pretty decently.

Nevertheless, navigating the menu is quite pleasant, and the responsiveness is at a satisfactory level. Yes, there are occasionally minor 'stutters', but it's not something that will ruin our experience of everyday use.

On the plus side, we can count on support for voice search in Polish, which makes it easier to find favourite content without the tedious typing of letters one by one. The TV also offers plenty of additional options: we can record programs, use AirPlay and mirroring, and enjoy extensive wireless connectivity features (Wi-Fi and Bluetooth). It may lack a backlit remote control or Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode, but those are relatively niche features, so not many will actually feel their absence. In everyday use, we simply have a solid base of useful tools and convenient solutions.

If we're counting on comfortable viewing of films with subtitles straight from a USB drive, we might unfortunately be disappointed. Just like in the previously tested A7NQ, here we encounter quite an odd situation: the TV doesn't display subtitles, even if we correctly place them on the storage device and try different formats. Paradoxically, we find options to change the colour and appearance of the font, but as they say – what's the point if we still can't see anything?

In the case of other files, such as photos or music, the E7NQ PRO manages without major issues, playing the most popular formats without a hitch. Unfortunately, for those wanting to use the TV as a multimedia player, the lack of functioning subtitles is a significant inconvenience.

When it comes to the built-in speakers, Hisense E7NQ PRO pleasantly surprised us. Of course, it's not on the level of a decent soundbar or home cinema setup, but in everyday conditions, it performs really quite well. During our tests, the dialogue remained clear, and the sound was sufficiently clean and spacious that we didn't feel the need to immediately invest in additional audio equipment.

The support for multiple audio formats is also a plus – from Dolby Atmos to the less common DTS:X. This means that if we come across suitable source materials, we can count on a more immersive, spatial experience. Although in terms of sound, it still mainly remains at the level of a decent baseline, Hisense E7NQ PRO should satisfy most users who simply want to turn on the TV and hear clear, uninterrupted audio.
