Hisense 75" QD7QF Mini-LED QLED Smart TV Review 2026
A 75-inch Mini-LED for the price of most 65-inch QLEDs. The zone count is modest and it does not game. But 75 inches of Mini-LED at this price is a deal that defies logic.
A 75" Mini-LED for under $550 is a remarkable value proposition. The zone count is modest, but you still get better contrast than any 75" LED or QLED near this price.
75 Inches of Mini-LED at an Impossible Price
The QD7QF's pitch is simple: the largest Mini-LED screen at the lowest price. At $500–$800, this 75-inch TV costs less than most 65-inch QLEDs from Samsung and Sony. It costs less than many 55-inch Mini-LEDs. The math alone makes it compelling for anyone who wants a big screen in a media room, basement, or open-plan living area.
Hisense achieves this price by keeping the zone count modest (around 200) and using a 60Hz panel with no HDMI 2.1. These are real compromises. But the alternative at this price is a 75-inch standard LED with worse contrast or a 65-inch panel with better specs in a smaller package.
Entry Mini-LED at Scale
Around 200 zones across a 75-inch panel means each zone covers a relatively large area of the screen. Blooming is more visible than on higher-zone-count Mini-LEDs. A bright subtitle on a dark background shows a noticeable halo. Mixed-brightness scenes — a lit window in a dark wall, a campfire in a dark forest — have softer transitions between bright and dark zones.
But compare the QD7QF to a standard LED or even most QLEDs at 75 inches and the contrast improvement is obvious. Dark scenes are darker. HDR highlights are brighter. The step up from edge-lit backlighting to even entry-level Mini-LED is significant. It is not reference-quality local dimming. It is noticeably better than what this money buys elsewhere at 75 inches.
This TV pairs best with a dimmed media room rather than a sunlit living room. The 800-nit peak brightness handles moderate ambient light, but it cannot fight strong sunlight the way higher-brightness Mini-LEDs can. Close the curtains and the QD7QF performs well above its price class.

Google TV on the Big Screen
The Google TV platform works well at 75 inches — the larger screen makes the content browsing experience more comfortable and the interface text more readable from couch distance. Chromecast built-in, Google Assistant, and a comprehensive app library cover the streaming basics. The remote is functional if unremarkable.
Who Should Buy This
Movie watchers who want immersive screen size for streaming movies, shows, and sports — and who do not game. Families who want a big living room TV without a big living room TV budget. Basement media rooms where the screen size matters more than reference-level black levels.
Who should not: gamers (60Hz, no HDMI 2.1), bright-room viewers (800 nits is not enough to fight direct sunlight at 75"), and anyone who prioritizes picture quality over screen size (the TCL QM6K at 65" delivers a better image for similar money in a smaller package).
Frequently Asked Questions
How can a 75" Mini-LED cost this little?
Hisense uses a lower zone count (around 200) and 60Hz panel to hit the price point. The Mini-LED backlighting is real — it does improve contrast over standard LED — but it is the most basic implementation of the technology. You are paying for screen size and Mini-LED basics, not for premium zone density or gaming features.
Is the Hisense 75" QD7QF good for gaming?
No. The 60Hz panel with no HDMI 2.1 ports makes this a poor choice for gaming. PS5 and Xbox Series X games will run at 60fps with no VRR. If gaming matters, step up to the TCL 75" T7 or QM6K for 144Hz and HDMI 2.1 support.
Should I get this or a 65" QLED for the same money?
If screen size is your priority — for movies, sports, and family viewing — the 75" QD7QF delivers a more immersive experience. If you want better contrast, gaming features, and a higher refresh rate, a 65" Mini-LED like the TCL QM6K at a similar price offers superior picture quality in a smaller package. Screen size versus picture quality: that is the trade.
Does it come with a stand or is it wall mount only?
It includes a center pedestal stand. The stand is sturdy enough for the panel but requires a wider TV console than you might expect at 75 inches. Wall mounting uses a standard 300x300mm VESA pattern.
Final Verdict
Rating: 4.2/5
A 75" Mini-LED for under $550 is a remarkable value proposition. The zone count is modest, but you still get better contrast than any 75" LED or QLED near this price.
Screen size at a price that breaks expectations. Not the best Mini-LED. Not the best 75-inch TV. But the best Mini-LED at 75 inches for this little money. A niche that Hisense owns unchallenged.
