Comparisons between Variants and Sizes
Hisense H9G 65 inches (65H9G), and our tests showed that the results are valid for 55 inch models (55H9G). This model in Canada is called the Q9G and it should perform as well.
Let us know if you come across another type of panel, or if your Hisense Hisense G doesn’t match our review. We will update the review. You should note that the results of tests such as the gray uniformity might vary from one unit to another.
Design
While not flashy or fancy, offers some modern touches such as thin bezels
On the front, there’s a microphone mute button
Great selection of ports.
But you’ll eventually get used it.
The Hisense H9G offers a very similar design to last year’s H9F, and while it’s not necessarily all that flashy, it still offers a few modern touches that keep the company ahead of the curve in this price range. The model we are reviewing is the 65-inch version. At its thickest, it measures 4.1 inches. Although it’s a little thicker than previous models, this makes it not quite as bulky as some of the older “flatscreens”.
There are some things, however, that make the TV look modern. First, it has thin, around one quarter inch thick, bezels surrounding the television. The bezels are not as thin or as thin looking as in the press pictures, but it still gives off an impressive look. Thanks to the way they begin in the centre and stretch out, the legs help create a distinctive appearance for the TV. This model has the same dimensions as last year, although it leaves a larger footprint than usual.
It is notable that the H9F does not have a microphone mute button on the front. The microphone can be left on for voice searches and Google Assistant, but privacy-conscious users have the option to turn off the microphone using a hardware switch.
Hisense Quantum 4K HDR TV Review: Blisteringly Brilliant
Hisense is shedding a tear.
Hisense’s sales have soared after many years of trying unsuccessfully to gain the same level of brand recognition as competitors such as Samsung, LG, and Sony. Its H9G Quantum TV may prove to be a key indicator that the company is in an ascendant position.
H9G Quantum was the first TV I’ve ever seen so overpromised, and under delivered. It’s not perfect, but it is going to be one of the best TV choices for the vast majority of people this year.
Hisense H8G out of the box. I was pleased with the sleekness and design of the H9G once I got it set up. I do have to say I was taken aback by the TV’s feet at first they look like giant bottle openers when not attached to the TV but once they were installed, they started growing on me.
Design and Specifications
The 10bit (3840 x 2160 4K UHD), 120Hz panel has array backlighting. This allows the H9G to support HDR10 and Dolby Vision content. Google Assitant, the Android TV operating platform and Google Assistant are both available. There is a wealth of apps that offer smart functionality. H9G’s 55-inch class was available (54.5 inch diagonally); the 65-inch H9G-class is also available for $950.

Physically, the 55-incher measures 48.5 inches wide, 28.2 inches tall, and 3.9 inches thick. Make that 10.2 inches thick with the mid-mounted legs. The VESA mount point is 400mm x300mm for wall hanging (shown here).
Hisense’s H9G rear. We don’t know why this company decided not to reveal the ports. (They are visible in the middle of the image, where the grey rectangle is).
H9G’s design is fairly simple, and the electronics are located at the lower rear. The bezel is thin, although it looks thinner in person. These issues may be bothersome. Check out more captivating content.
Ports on the H9G include 4 HDMI and Legacy inputs.
When it comes to connectivity, the H9G has the average user more than covered. Four HDMI ports are available (ARC is not supported but eARC), and two USB ports. There’s also coax to connect an antenna/cable/satellite set top box or over-the air antenna, and RCA inputs that allow for stereo and composite audio, and Toslink optical digital audio. The Wi-Fi is 802.11ac and there’s a Bluetooth radio onboard.

There are two sizes in the Hisense H9G series: a 55-inch model and a 65-inch model. Hisense loaned our review unit. However, all our readings were performed with the H9G at its default factory settings.
Here’s the pricing of the H9G’s two sizes:
55-inch (Hisense 55H9G), MSRP $749.99
65-inch (Hisense 65H9G), MSRP $999.99
Different sizes of TVs in a series tend to perform very similarly to one another, so we don’t expect there to be major differences between the 55- and 65-inch versions of the Hisense H9G. Below are the most important features they share.
Resolution: 4K (3,840 x 2,160)
Fantastic Contrast And Overall Brightness
Credit: Reviewed / Jackson Ruckar The Hisense H9G blends fantastic brightness with dependably dark black levels.
Hisense H9G offers many wonderful features, including its striking contrast. The H9G, a quantum dot LED television is capable of reaching dazzling brightness due to its brightness. The H9G consistently exceeded 600 nits when receiving standard SDR signals and the 1,600 nits when receiving HDR signals. These tests were designed to give a better idea of a TV’s performance limits. You can however expect the best brightness out of the H9G no matter what type of content. HDR content can be a delight, so anyone searching for brighter TVs to enhance the ambience lighting in their living rooms should have the H9G.
H9G is an impressive combination of high light output and deep, well-tuned levels of black that are very rarely affected or influenced by light bloom. Our H9G measured at just 0.009 nuts when the black level was approximately 90%. As brighter image elements are used, black levels will rise. However, the H9G’s shadow details don’t seem washed out. The H9G is able to adjust its contrast well for such bright TVs.
Hisense 65 inch H9G Uled Smart TV (Model 65H9G). Review
John Higgins is a veteran of the AV Industry since 2003. He started at Home Theater Magazine’s test studio and then Sound & Vision. Wirecutter Magazine. ProjectorCentral. Cineluxe. When not focusing his attentions on whatever display or speakers he’s presently reviewing, John is probably either playing with his son or lost in a computer screen, working on his latest sound design, sound editing, film composition project.
The sweet spot for a midrange TV over the past couple years has been $1,000. For that amount, you could get a 65 inch 4K TV, possibly with Dolby Vision support, full-array local dimming, maybe even mini-LEDs, quantum dots technology, Smart TV interface, voice command, and perhaps some gaming features. You have to be a buyer in order to compete. TCL and Hisense have joined Sony, LG, Samsung, Vizio as major players in the marketplace.
These two brands have been outdone by these newer models, as Andrew Robinson’s favorable review of Hisense 65H8F in the final year of 2019 shows. It was an enjoyable TV experience that I found to be very good value for money. Hisense has set its sights on continuing to surpass customer expectations with the H9G. I received the 65-inch version to review for 1,000, while the 55 inch variant is $750. But the stand that the H9G has stands out above its predecessors. It’s not the usual dual-foot design. There is now an elegant swooping loop to each side. Because the stand’s space is not as wide as other display options, it’s only 36 inches in width for the 65-inch model. Although the G series takes up slightly more space front to back due to the 13.6 inch stand’s depth, the stand provides good support for the 55-pound set. The badge has a power button and the toggle switch that turns the microphone off for voice assistant commands. This was necessary for me when Google Assistant started activating incorrectly multiple times.
The back panel is all plastic (a cost-cutting decision, I’m sure). There’s a track with some clips that runs the length of the bottom third of the TV for cable management. Three HDMI 2.0a, two USB and a RF connector are the main connections. They can be found on the right side of the TV. Rear facing are the remaining HDMI, optical output, LAN and composite video. Since all of the HDMI ports are 2.0a, the 4K refresh rate tops out at 60Hz. In the new age of HDMI 2.1 and 4K/120 gaming that’s a mild disappointment, but unless you’re using one of the new consoles, the lack of HDMI 2.1 will be of no consequence. The HDR10+, Dolby Vision, HDR10+, high dynamic range and HDR10+ are supported. However, streaming apps that do not use the HDMI inputs seem to only support these.
This is not the only problem with the Hisense. Even though the panel is natively 120Hz, it does not support 1080p gaming. Game picture mode cuts off processing extras and decreases input lag by 107.9ms – as tested by Leo Bodnar’s lag tester. Other TVs don’t have an “auto low latency” mode (ALLM) that switches on games features when they detect them.
Hisense’s H9G is compatible with the Android TV platform. This allows you to access hundreds of apps including Disney+ and Amazon Prime. Android TV has a fine Smart TV platform. Although scrolling through menus may be slower than Roku, I found it to be just as good. There is in-app support for Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos if the content offers it. Because it is powered by Google, the H9G can cast and integrate a Google Assistant. A microphone can be placed on the remote and one in the TV. The voice-activated assistant is accessible through the remote. Although it has been erroneously activated, I was forced to turn the TV mic off because it had been erratically activated quite a few occasions. Google Assistant works very well when it is used for a purpose. Alexa also supports Google Assistant, but you will need to set it up.
A bit on the long side, the remote has all the buttons you need, and a few that are superfluous (for instance: a Home button and an App button that get you to very similar menus). Because of the length, you can have some space between buttons. This includes four buttons for apps, transport controls, and a number pad. A directional pad has settings access. Sometimes I had to move my hands to reach all buttons. The tradeoff could work for those with larger hands. It is just too large and bulky, as well as the lack of a remote light.
How does the Hisense Hisense G9G compare to other competitors?
It seems like nearly all the manufacturers have a 65in model available for as low as $1,000.
. While it is more accurate than the Hisense straight out of the box in grayscale, it doesn’t have nearly as many light outputs. The H9G is also an edge-lit, IPS panel. This means that it cannot compete with the H9G for black levels or contrast. Its HDR performance suffers from a lack of pop. The speakers are very good, though, if you have no desire to upgrade to a soundbar or surround system (please, for the love of Tomlinson Holman, upgrade to a better sound system than TV speakers).
Samsung’s review can be found here. It retails for $1100 with an MSRP at $1300. Like the Sony, it is an edge-lit display. The black level of the Samsung Samsung is good for its purpose, but the FALD on the H9G is better. Samsung’s advantage over Hisense lies in HDMI 2.1 compliance, better support for the latest gaming consoles and greater video quality.
The most direct comparison is the TCL 6-Series for $1,000. While it doesn’t have fully HDMI 2.1 compliance, it does support variable refresh rate and auto low latency mode for gaming. Roku’s interface is much better than that of the Hisense Android TV. But the Hisense does have more light output and a better FALD response. It’s really comes down to whether you plan to use the display more for gaming or movies, but you really couldn’t go wrong with either.
Hisense Quantum Series the Competition
I’ve mentioned it a few times already throughout this review, but if you’re looking to buy the Hisense H9G, you owe it to yourself to also consider the cheaper Hisense H8G . The core experience of the H9G isn’t as impressive, with the exceptions being the Google Assistant and automatic brightness. The 4K panel is stunning, there are four HDMI ports and the exact same Android TV interface. It also costs less than hundreds.
Sony’s X900H can also be considered, although it is slightly more costly than H9G. This model comes with Sony’s amazing X1 processor to enhance 4K HDR content. You also get Sony’s “Acoustic Multi-Audio,” which is a built-in speaker system that’s substantially better than most TV speakers.
If you don’t mind moving from Android TV to OLED, then the LG OLED BX may be a good alternative. OLED televisions have a bright future. You’ll find richer colors with deeper blacks on them than ULED and LED.
Hisense H9G 4K Tv Review. What is the best TV under 1000?
We are always looking out for affordable tvs with great picture. So of course, a review of the Hisense H9G has been high on your request list. The H9G has been requested by many since our review of H8G. We deemed the 4K TV the most affordable and best. Hisense’s flagship 4K Smart TV (H9G) is now available in two sizes: 65 and 55 inches. The quality of cheap tvs is improving, making it harder to justify paying high prices for a new TV. You don’t need to invest more than 1000 in a new tv. Is this the best TV under 1000? Hisense’s H9G 4K TV review could prove that you don’t need to spend thousands on a new TV.
The H9G is a true 4K TV that utilizes Quantum Dot technology for better, more accurate colors when used in conjunction with its full array LED backlighting. For better contrast and black level rendering, the H9G has LED backlighting that supports local dimming up to 180 areas. HDR support is provided by the H9G, which supports HDR10 and DolbyVision HDR. The H9G also has support for Dolby Atmos audio.
Hisense H9G is reported to have a 120Hz refresh rate, however it’s not HDMI 2.1. This will make this a difficult choice for console gamers. It’s not an issue to me but it isn’t the most advanced gaming technology at the moment. You can also choose a specific game mode to minimize input lag. The entire system is controlled by AndroidTV and powered via Hisense’s HiView processor.
It is hard to see the difference visually between Hisense models without seeing their legs. Hisense’s style is minimal but effective. Most notable is the H9G’s exterior appearance. It’s glossy screen stands out in comparison to other displays. Many displays are using a matte display, while the H9G’s has a more glassy look, similar to OLED. While this improves black’s appearance, it can also increase reflections.
Is It Worth It To Buy The Hisense HL9G?
Hisense H9G TV is a great overall TV. It’s well-rounded and offers great performance for most uses. It’s an amazing choice for watching movies in the dark as it has an outstanding contrast ratio and a great full-array local dimming feature.
Does Hisense H9G Support 120Hz?
HDR10+ and Dolby Vision are supported by the H9G. … …
Does The Hisense H9G Have Earc?
Connectivity. The four HDMI 2.0 ports have no eARC, HDMI 2.1 or HDMI 3.0 support.
Is Hisense A Good Brand?
Hisense scored between average and good in our testing. The H55O8BUK OLEDTV was reviewed by us in 2019. We gave it four stars for its simplicity, the inclusion of major apps, and sharp and detailed pictures. Hisense decided that OLED would not be a good option for 2020. Instead, they opted for ULED technology. June 5, 2021
