The Hisense H9G is an excellent option for most users, thanks to its superb contrast ratio, fantastic peak brightness, full-array local dimming, and deep black levels. However, gamers should watch out for the lack of HDMI 2.1 and VRR.

Product Snapshot

Overview

The Hisense H9G is the company’s flagship UHD TV released in April 2020. Its VA panel promises to provide better black and contrast ratio than IPS LCD TVs, but it can’t quite match the perfect blacks of an OLED.

On the other hand, the H9G’s excellent peak brightness enables superb picture quality even in bright rooms. And Android TV OS makes the interface easy to navigate without any clutter.

Thanks to that, the H9G is very well positioned for movie buffs. Continue reading below to learn more about what reviewers said about the Hisense H9G. Also, give today’s top-rated TVs a look, too.

Consensus

our Verdict

The Hisense H9G is a great TV for watching movies and shows. It offers a great contrast ratio, bright peak brightness, full-array local dimming, and deep blacks for dark rooms.

It also works well in bright rooms, thanks to its reflection diffusion. But gamers should be aware that it doesn’t have HDMI 2.1, VRR, or ALLM.

ReasonS to Buy

  • Excellent contrast ratio
  • High peak brightness
  • Full-array local dimming
  • Inky blacks
  • Amazing reflection diffusion
  • Excellent screen uniformity
  • Low response time
  • Low input lag
  • Wide color gamut

Reason to Avoid

  • No HDMI 2.1 support
  • VRR, ALLM, and eARC absent
  • Poor viewing angles
  • 24FPS content may appear stuttery
  • The Android TV UI gets laggy under small load
  • Average app smoothness
  • Visible banding
  • Mediocre out of the box color calibration
