One of our favorite large TVs is $400 off

On fishing To get a really huge screen for your home theater? We recently compiled a roundup of the best large TVs for anyone with a lot of wall space, and the Hisense U75QG small LED is near the top of that list. I saw the massive 85-inch version marked down to just $1,298 on Amazon, a $400 discount off the regular price.

The first thing to know about the Hisense is that it’s unreal bright, so much so that its capabilities are far superior to anything you can stream digitally. In fact, you’ll only see the true power of the panel with 4K Blu-Rays, though it can be useful if you have a particularly sunny room or will be near a window. It has excellent black levels and deep contrast, with very little light bloom.

There are some compromises, unfortunately, like lackluster anti-reflection, and off-axis viewing isn’t as sharp as some of our other picks. It has a full complement of four HDMI 2.1 ports, ideal for multi-console players and Blu-ray players, with variable refresh rate support (adjustable frame rates for gaming consoles and PCs) and an automatic low latency mode for faster console-to-screen response times, in case you want to do some gaming on the weekends.

Speaking as someone who’s had to maneuver and mount an 85-inch TV to the wall, it’s easily a two-person job, and a third person might be advisable if you can argue over one. Although the Hisense is on the lighter side for TVs, the 85-inch model still weighs about 100 pounds, so you’ll need to make sure the wall mount is properly installed in the studs, or that your existing entertainment center is sturdy enough.

If this makes you pause, the 65-inch model has been marked down to $797, and the 55-inch model is just $578. But for anyone looking for a powerful big screen to rule their living room, the Hisense U75QG is a great choice, especially at its discounted price of $1,298. If you’re interested in other options, we’ve got a great new guide to the best big TVs you can buy. Just make sure to measure first.
