Our verdict

7.0

Overall rating

When we look at the Hisense E7NQ PRO in everyday use, it is immediately apparent that this is a television designed with a broad range of viewers in mind. The picture, although not breathtaking at first glance, gains a lot after proper calibration. The colours appear more natural, and a brightness level of around 500 cd/m² makes it comfortable to watch in a sunlit living room. The wide viewing angles offered by the IPS panel are an additional plus – we no longer have to fight for the best spot on the sofa. Dolby Vision can enhance the overall experience, and in SDR mode, the television delivers a truly pleasant image. Sports and gaming fans will find even more reasons to be satisfied here. High refresh rates (144 Hz) guarantee smooth ball movements on the pitch, while low latency, VRR, ALLM, and compatibility with G-Sync and Dolby Vision in games cater to those who value responsiveness and immersive gaming experiences. Because of all this, the E7NQ PRO becomes an interesting proposition for computer gamers as well. The VIDAA system works quite well – there are plenty of applications, although it lacks music-specific ones like Spotify or Tidal. However, you can expect recording, AirPlay, mirroring, and decent cooperation with wireless devices. Yes, there are certain shortcomings and imperfections – especially regarding subtitle support from USB or perfect management of brightness and contrast, and the absence of HGIG may disappoint the most demanding gamers. When we gather all the 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 images after calibration, numerous additional functions, and excellent motion fluidity in sports or games. At the same time, it is important to remember that this is not a television intended for those seeking perfect experiences for evening viewings in total darkness. In low lighting, the deficiencies in contrast and black levels become more pronounced, so we suggest that individuals who primarily plan evening screenings look for alternatives among competitors. Nevertheless, 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 really solidly.

Visibility of details in the lights:

The tested Hisense E7NQ PRO in the 65-inch version features an IPS panel, which unfortunately is not known for high contrast. As a result, black appears slightly 'washed out' and at times takes on a silvery hue, which is clearly visible in our pictures. The manufacturer tried to address this by equipping the television with local dimming functionality. Unfortunately, in this 65-inch model, we only have 32 zones available, which, while somewhat helpful, is definitely not enough to achieve impressively high results—especially since the panel itself is unable to deliver incredibly deep blacks.

During testing, we observed highly variable results. In 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 television in this price range. Ultimately, while local dimming somewhat salvages the situation, it lacks truly deep, inky blacks and contrast that would leave a greater impression on us.

Based on the luminance chart, which indicates around 550 nits, it can be said that Hisense E7NQ PRO theoretically has the potential to somewhat "magically" enchant us with its image in HDR. While testing various scenes from films, we noticed that the television continually tries to balance maintaining appropriate brightness with preserving the deepest blacks possible. In favourable conditions – for instance, during a scene from “The Meg,” where the screen is flooded with bright light – this brightness can indeed impress us. In such moments, we feel that HDR actually adds that "something" to the image. Unfortunately, when more challenging shots appear on the screen with small, bright elements on a dark background, the situation looks significantly worse. The brightness then drops to 200-300 nits, which is decidedly too little to truly distinguish HDR from standard SDR.

It is clear that the television tries, but hardware limitations – mainly the limited number of local dimming zones – prevent it from fully spreading its wings. The final effect is therefore often quite uneven and just as mediocre as in the contrast tests. However, it deserves credit for its impressive coverage of the DCI-P3 colour gamut at 97%. Thanks to this, the television can display a truly wide range of colours, which, in suitable scenes, can give us at least a taste of the true HDR effect. It’s just a shame that the overall experience is not 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 fragments from the films "Pan" and "Billy Lynn." Unfortunately, we also encountered some problems here. In the most challenging sequence from "Pan," the television clearly "blows out" the image – it lacks saturation, and the tonal range seems to escape, leaving us with a somewhat washed-out, depthless vision. Fortunately, it is not always that bad. The scene from "Billy Lynn," where we have both the hero in the foreground and fireworks in the background, fared much better. The actor's face was represented correctly, and the colourful explosions did not merge into a single, shapeless blob of light. This shows that the television can, at least sometimes, handle difficult shots.

Hisense equipped this model with a dynamic tone mapping feature, which theoretically should help in even more challenging moments. However, in practice, when we activated it, the image became too brightly lit, which only exacerbated the problem. Therefore, although this option exists, we recommend caution – its activation often does more harm than good. As a result, we once 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, it still lacks stability and coherence in difficult scenes.

HDR luminance chart:

E7NQ PRO has several HDR options to choose from: static HDR10 and more advanced formats Dolby Vision and HDR10+. During our tests, we noticed that switching between these modes can either enhance or diminish the quality of the image. With standard HDR10, the screen does not look too bad, but when we switch to Dolby Vision, we instantly notice the difference. We see deeper blacks, better tonal gradation, and a greater number of visible details. Overall, we feel that Dolby Vision "draws out" more potential from 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 materials we watch look 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 television is among the best we have had the opportunity to test in 2024. Even in really demanding scenes, we hardly notice any distinct "steps" between colours. Of course, with a keen eye, one can detect minor flaws, but those are at a level that is virtually microscopic. You really need to have a very "alert" eye to catch them. This, in turn, means that while watching even the most complex shots in a full palette of colours, one can simply focus on the story and visual experiences without the irritating, artificial effect of posterisation.

Image scaling and smoothness of tonal transitions

6/10

Smooth transition function

Image without overscan on the SD signal

When it comes to the function of smoothing tonal transitions 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 hard to notice at all – it is rather a cosmetic improvement. Switching to "Medium" mode yields a noticeable effect, but it is still nothing special, and in the process, the television begins to excessively interfere with other elements of the image, which can look unnatural.

Moreover, image scaling is rather average. On the test screen, where a portrait of a model and text are displayed, slight jagged edges are visible, making the overall appearance less smooth and aesthetically pleasing than one would expect in this class of device. It's simply difficult to talk about truly effective improvement in the quality of lower resolution.

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 excellently with nearly every type of content. Whether we are watching fast-paced matches, dynamic games or action films – the smoothness of motion leaves a good impression. When it comes to films, the manufacturer has equipped the television 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 out motion without compromising the cinematic quality of the image. The higher we move up the scale, the more the television interferes with the presented material, smoothing out motion more intensely, and consequently – minimising any judders or micro-cuts. Conversely, the highest settings can resemble the so-called "soap opera effect", which makes the image appear excessively smooth, slightly losing its filmic atmosphere. However, with such a scale, we can find a happy medium, adjusting the smoothness of motion to our own preferences.

Blur (native resolution, maximum refresh rate):

As for smearing, while IPS generally performs reasonably well, here one can notice some minor shortcomings. On darker backgrounds, from time to time we may see a slight “halo” trailing behind moving objects. It’s nothing drastic, but with careful observation, it will draw attention.

Game bar: Yes

If we sometimes enjoy turning on the console and immersing ourselves in the world of games for long hours, E7NQ PRO can make quite an impressive impact. Thanks to the 144 Hz refresh rate, gameplay is surprisingly smooth, and support for HDMI 2.1 and VRR ensures that the picture 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 with the options ourselves.

A major plus is also the ability to run games in Dolby Vision, making colours and contrast simply look better. Hisense has also added a clear 'gamebar', allowing us to constantly monitor the most important parameters and change settings without leaving the game. The only thing we might regret a bit is the lack of HGIG support. While it may not be a crucial element, it could matter to some gamers aiming for the most faithful representation of the creators' vision. Nevertheless, in practice, the E7NQ PRO performs excellently and provides truly enjoyable gaming experiences.

Input lag

9.9/10

In this regard, Hisense E7NQ PRO really delivers. At a frequency of 60 Hz, we recorded around 15 ms, and at 120 Hz, the latency drops even to 6 ms, allowing for very quick response and smooth control in games. It is also worth mentioning that even in Dolby Vision mode, the input lag does not increase drastically. This means we can enjoy better image quality without having to sacrifice responsiveness, which will certainly please any avid gamer.

By connecting the E7NQ PRO to a computer, we will have no reason to complain. The overall readability of the fonts is quite good, although with very thin, horizontal lines (the so-called “serifs” of letters) we noticed a slight dimming. This is not a major issue, but it's worth mentioning if we plan to spend long hours in text editors or browsers.

As for gaming on PC, the television 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 will work well not only with a console but also as a solid “window” to 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, the 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 "wash out" as much as they do in televisions with a VA panel. Of course, compared to OLED or QD-OLED screens, where the image remains practically unchanged from every angle, IPS still falls short. Nevertheless, among LCD televisions, it is hard to find a solution that guarantees viewing angles as good as those offered by IPS. Unfortunately, everything comes at a cost – in this case, one has to come to terms with average blacks 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" display diffuses light effectively, preventing reflections and glares from turning into distracting "spots" on the screen. With an average brightness of around 500 cd/m², you can comfortably watch television in a sunlit room without much struggle to see details or clear content. It's perhaps not at the level of the highest premium models, but in everyday use, it still performs quite decently.

Nevertheless, navigating the menu is quite enjoyable, and the responsiveness is at a satisfactory level. Yes, there are occasionally minor "stutters," but this is not something that will overwhelm our daily usage experience.

On the plus side, we can appreciate the support for voice search in Polish, which makes it easier to find favourite content without the tedious process of typing letters one by one. The television also offers plenty of additional options: we can record programmes, use AirPlay and mirroring, as well as enjoy extensive wireless connectivity options (Wi-Fi and Bluetooth). Perhaps it lacks a backlit remote or Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode, but these are rather niche features, so few will truly feel their absence. In everyday use, we simply have a solid foundation of useful tools and convenient solutions.

If we are counting on comfortable viewing of films with subtitles directly from a pendrive, we may unfortunately be disappointed. Just like with the previously tested A7NQ, we encounter a rather peculiar situation here: the television does not display subtitles, even if we correctly place them on the device and try various 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 won't see anything?

In the case of other files, such as photos or music, the E7NQ PRO manages without major problems, playing the most popular formats without a hitch. Unfortunately, for those who would like to use the television as a multimedia player, the lack of functioning subtitles is quite a nuisance.

When it comes to the built-in speakers, Hisense E7NQ PRO pleasantly surprised us. Of course, it is not on the level of a proper soundbar or home cinema system, but in everyday conditions, it performs quite well. During our tests, the dialogues remained clear, and the sound was sufficiently clean and spacious, so there was no immediate need to invest in additional audio equipment.

It also deserves credit for supporting multiple audio formats – from Dolby Atmos to the less common DTS:X. As a result, if we come across the right source materials, we can expect a more immersive, spatial experience. Although in terms of sound, it is still primarily at the level of a decent basic setup, Hisense E7NQ PRO should satisfy most users who simply want to turn on the television and hear clear, unblemished sound.
