The Hisense 65H9F got praise from experts for its 4K image quality and motion handling but failed to impress gamers with the lack of HDMI 2.1 ports, poor sound, and support for a Variable Refresh Rate.

Product Snapshot

Overview

The 2019 Hisense H9F is a high-end Android TV that features a 4K UHD display with impressive image upscaling capabilities and stunning picture quality thanks to ULED technology, which is exclusive to Hisense. The 4K TV delivers deep, dark blacks courtesy of full array local dimming, and this makes the TV great for watching movies in a dark setting. Peak brightness levels are also among the highest in the market, so users in a brightly lit room will find the Android TV perfect for their use. In addition, the H9F delivers sharp, vivid scenes when playing HDR content and will have movie buffs stuck on the edge of their seats with its hyper-realistic color reproduction and accuracy. Find out what else this Android TV has in store for you by reading to the end of this Hisense H9F review, and if it doesn’t impress you, then maybe these other best-rated TVs might be worthwhile.

Consensus

our Verdict

The Hisense H9F Android TV has great picture quality and peak brightness levels, making it a great choice for movie lovers. Unfortunately, it doesn’t support Variable Refresh Rates or HDMI 2.1 ports, so it’s not suitable for pro-gamers. It has good viewing angles for group viewing and good motion handling, but the sound performance is poor and won’t give you an immersive audio experience. If you’re looking for a budget-level TV with good picture quality, check out the Westinghouse WR32HB2200.

Reason to Buy

Deep, dark blacks
Great sub-4K content upscaling
High peak brightness levels
Rich and vivid color reproduction

Reason to Avoid

Mediocre sound
No HDMI 2.1 ports
No support for Variable Refresh Rates
