Of course, we are also going to discover some negative point. Let&#8217;s see!<\/p>\n<h3>Design and connectivity<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"entered lazyloaded alignnone wp-image-101845 size-large\" title=\"Dimensions and weight of the television\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/184_techweek.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-101845\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dimensions and weight of the television<\/p>\n<p>This image perfectly explains the weight and measurement details of the television.\u00a0We are missing the profile of the panel when we remove the support, which is, for the thickest part,\u00a074 mm\u00a0.\u00a0In its design without bezels we find that\u00a0the lower frame is 14.7 mm\u00a0.\u00a0In this same situation, the\u00a0lightness of the panel\u00a0stands out .\u00a0This will be able to be hung, of course, with a\u00a0VESA 200 x 300 mm\u00a0.<\/p>\n<p>The color chosen for the\u00a0front\u00a0, which is really only present in this frame, is\u00a0dark grey\u00a0;\u00a0for the support and the\u00a0rear part the conventional\u00a0black\u00a0is maintained\u00a0.<\/p>\n<p>In both cases, the panel embrace is made\u00a0of plastic\u00a0.\u00a0Of course, there is more to sharpen the eye to realize the\u00a0good finishes\u00a0of this.\u00a0In fact, they are impeccable and, in addition, completely rounded edges\u00a0have been chosen\u00a0, which are always easier to integrate into different decorative styles.<\/p>\n<h3>Tuning and connectivity<\/h3>\n<p>You will find it strange to know that this model\u00a0lacks an analog tuner\u00a0, something, on the other hand, logical in China, where it is designed.\u00a0I have to say that this is not a problem at the moment but of course I must tell you about it.\u00a0You will find\u00a0full digital tuning\u00a0, an updated\u00a0HbbTV 2.0.3 and CI+ ECP v1.4\u00a0.<\/p>\n<p>The wireless connectivity that we will enjoy with the Hisense 50E7HQ is\u00a0WiFI ac\u00a0(with 2.4 and 5 GHz)\u00a0and bluetooth 5.0\u00a0.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike his older brother of 55, in 50 inches the model does not have 2.1 for\u00a0HDMI\u00a0, staying at\u00a0three of 2.0\u00a0.\u00a0The same goes for the\u00a0two USB ports\u00a0, which are\u00a02.0\u00a0.\u00a0For the rest, we found the same:\u00a0Ethernet LAN RJ 45, optical output, audio L\/R, S\/PDIF, 3.5 mm headphone output, double RF tuner, CI+ slot and AV input\u00a0.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"entered lazyloaded aligncenter wp-image-101844 size-large\" title=\"The model connectors are on the right side\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/182_techweek.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-101844\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The model connectors are on the right side<\/p>\n<h3>Image quality<\/h3>\n<p>For the Hisense 50E7HQ\u00a0Hisense chooses a\u00a0VA LCD\u00a0type panel\u00a0with a resolution of\u00a03840 x 2160 pixels\u00a0whose backlighting is\u00a0direct LED\u00a0while having\u00a0a QLED\u00a0\u00a0 (Quantum Dot Technology) system for color treatment.\u00a0Precisely its color depth is distorted to\u00a010 bits\u00a0to cover\u00a090% of the DCI P3 colorimetry\u00a0.<\/p>\n<p>We find a very restrained brightness of\u00a0250 nits\u00a0, although we also discover an active contrast of\u00a03800:1\u00a0.\u00a0The movement works with a native frequency of\u00a060 Hz\u00a0that can be reduced to 50 in less demanding cases.\u00a0In turn,\u00a0Hisense\u00a0incorporates Picture Criteria Index technology\u00a0at 2000 points\u00a0, which is responsible for improving the work in frame interpolation.\u00a0We found that for this reason, the TV can have a\u00a0game mode\u00a0with which to enjoy your favorite titles playing with less than 20 ms of input lag.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"entered lazyloaded aligncenter wp-image-101848 size-large\" title=\"We have a good image but it is not a model designed to live cinematographic experiences\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/183_techweek.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-101848\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">We have a good image but it is not a model designed to live cinematographic experiences<\/p>\n<p>The HDR support of the Hisense 50E7HQ will go through the long-awaited\u00a0Dolby Vision, HDR 10+ and HLG\u00a0.\u00a0For video games we did not find availability to use HGiG.<\/p>\n<h3>Audio<\/h3>\n<p>A Hisense slip when assembling this model is its sound power, which is\u00a016 W RMS\u00a0in total.\u00a0I have to say that this is not enough, because my television is 20 W and I have never had the need to bring it even 50%, but, taking into account the market, I think that it should be installed now, for any television, the standard.\u00a0Be that as it may, for the price, 16 W is still ideal.<\/p>\n<p>Very good to know that we have compatibility with both Dolby Audio and DTS, with\u00a0MS12, AC-4 and Virtual\u00a0X.\u00a0Added to this we find a simple\u00a0five band equalizer\u00a0as well as the possibility of enjoying stereo sound with\u00a0NICAM Stereo\u00a0.<\/p>\n<h3>Software\/smartTV<\/h3>\n<p>For Hisense TVs, VIDAA U is always seen as the operating system.\u00a0This is because it is your own.\u00a0On this occasion we already have the\u00a0VIDAA U 5.0\u00a0version .<\/p>\n<p>As for this, first of all, we will highlight that, together with the LG OS, it is in the\u00a0top in security\u00a0for television OS.<\/p>\n<p>Its interface has improved a lot compared to its first versions, becoming truly competent in this regard.\u00a0And it is that now\u00a0the functions and the contents are clearly found\u00a0;\u00a0everything is very well defined in a beautiful and intuitive background.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, it is now more complete, having a\u00a0search engine on the main screen\u00a0that allows us to use it much faster (in other systems or in previous versions you had to look for the search engine, curious and redundant, yes, to be able to use it).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"entered lazyloaded alignnone wp-image-101869 size-large\" title=\"We have VIDAA U 5.0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/8_techweek.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"754\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-101869\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">We have VIDAA U 5.0<\/p>\n<p>The number of\u00a0applications that come pre-installed\u00a0and that you can use just by turning on the TV is immense.\u00a0There are already mythical ones like Netflix, Prime Video or YouTube but also other lesser known ones like Deezer, UFC, SweetTV and even some of the system like VIDA Art or VIDAA Free.<\/p>\n<p>Among them you will find both the\u00a0search engine\u00a0(although we also have it as a magnifying glass on the main interface screen) and the\u00a0Vewd browser\u00a0.\u00a0The same happens with the app stores (there are two, the App Store and Hungama Play) and with the\u00a0multimedia player\u00a0.<\/p>\n<p>Surely you will also be interested to know that you can give orders and ask questions to your own voice assistant,\u00a0OK Google or Alexa\u00a0, according to your preference.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Beyond the line of apps and, below, the video recommendations,\u00a0in the main interface we find a few options\u00a0.\u00a0These are<br \/>\nSeeker.<\/li>\n<li>The different\u00a0input sources\u00a0from which to view the content and the options to share the screen or share content (watch out for this option in which we do not see the full screen of our linked device but only what is being played, tremendously useful);\u00a0Anyview Cast\u00a0is really quite adequate,<\/li>\n<li>Settings.<\/li>\n<li>notifications.<\/li>\n<li>VIDAA U profile.<\/li>\n<li>Voice assistants\u00a0.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Hisense 50E7HQ: Pros and
