Hisense 65A7KQ\u00a0reveals a number of elements, technologies and features of a slightly advanced mid-range at an excellent price.<\/p>\n

At the design level we find a very aesthetic\u00a0, very beautiful\u00a0television , capable of fitting into almost any type of environment, including the most modern ones.<\/p>\n

HISENSE 65A7KQ<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The cover photo already shows us that it is a model without frames, as can also be seen, up close, in the images that I place below.\u00a0Dark gray plastic\u00a0is used for its lower frame\u00a0.\u00a0The edges of the panel that remain black are only 2.8 millimeters on the sides and 13.7 millimeters on the top.\u00a0The back cover is also made of plastic, but in black this time.<\/p>\n

\"TV<\/p>\n

To its base, in addition to plastic, a strong material such as aluminum\u00a0is attached\u00a0.\u00a0In this way, the design of the base itself and the inclusion of this metal allow\u00a0the stability of the television to be perfect\u00a0.<\/p>\n

In terms of numbers, HISENSE 65A7KQ measures\u00a0903 x 1449 x 294 mm\u00a0and has a weight of\u00a019.1 kilograms\u00a0.\u00a0It becomes smaller and lighter if we choose to use only the panel, on the wall;\u00a0This measures\u00a0835 x 1449 x 78 mm and weighs 18.5 kg\u00a0.\u00a0You should consider that for this you will have to buy a wall mounting device that is compatible with the\u00a0VESA standard at 400 x 200 mm\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Tuning and connectivity<\/h2>\n

Hisense 65A7KQ, like its little brothers and many other\u00a0Hisense\u00a0models , lacks analog tuning.\u00a0\u00a0It does not have analog tuning\u00a0.\u00a0The rest,\u00a0CI+ ECP, HbbTV 2.0.3 and a\u00a0DVB-S2\/T2\/C digital\u00a0tuning system\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Obviously, we need a\u00a0slot for Common Interface\u00a0and antenna, in this case a\u00a0double RF plug\u00a0.\u00a0As we can see in the image, the TV has\u00a0two USB 3.0 ports, three HDMI 2.0 inputs, RJ 45 Ethernet, S\/PDIF output, a mini AV input, a mini L\/R audio input and a 3.5 mm headphone jack\u00a0.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Remarkable physical connectivity of the HISENSE 65A7KQ<\/p>\n

We also discovered a double wireless connectivity system.\u00a0Its composition is simple:\u00a0dual WiFI and Bluetooth at 4.2\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Image quality<\/h2>\n

The panel of this TV is\u00a065 inches\u00a0, that is, quite large, with a diagonal of 164 cm.\u00a0This is a\u00a0VA LCD with a\u00a0Direct Full Array\u00a0backlight\u00a0, ideal because it allows a homogeneous distribution of lights.\u00a0As a backlight, we come to\u00a0UHD\u00a0and the upscaling option.<\/p>\n

The color depth of this is\u00a08 bits\u00a0to which the\u00a0Frame Rate Control\u00a0faking system is added .\u00a0More aspects of colorimetry are the choice of\u00a0Wide Color Gamut and QLED technology\u00a0.\u00a0The color range reached by the HISENSE 65A7KQ is 90% of the DCI P3.\u00a0This compendium of elements gives rise to the perfect reproduction of 1073 million colors in very precise palettes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The model has good colorimetry<\/p>\n

Artificial intelligence helps us a lot in the case of\u00a0AI Adaptive Depth\u00a0.\u00a0Based on layers, the processor makes the visualization of the content much more dramatic, very realistic.\u00a0With\u00a0Pixel Tuning,\u00a0a very fine adjustment is made to each of the pixels on the panel;\u00a0This shows better shapes and much more detail.\u00a0With\u00a0Smooth Motion\u00a0the movements look very natural, just as they are shot, despite all the adjustments that televisions have and that, in reality, change the original content.<\/p>\n

We have a\u00a0Game mode\u00a0with VRR and ALLM, a\u00a0Sports mode\u00a0, 60 Hz frequency,\u00a03200:1\u00a0native contrast or\u00a0350 nits\u00a0of brightness.<\/p>\n

Finally, we discover the reproduction of HDR content, which the television performs in\u00a0HDR 10+, HLG and Dolby Vision\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Audio<\/h2>\n

HISENSE 65A7KQ has two speakers that make the total sound power\u00a020 W RMS\u00a0(2 x 10 W RMS) in a logical 2.0 system.<\/p>\n

The decoding that is carried out is\u00a0Dolby Atmos\u00a0, and can occur in both Dolby MS 12 and Dolby AC-4.<\/p>\n

As Hisense usually does, the model has a\u00a0user-friendly\u00a0equalizer and\u00a0NICAM Stereo\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Software\/smartTV analysis<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Interface appearance of VIDAA U 6<\/p>\n

Although VIDAA U7 has already been launched, since this model has been around for some time now, it has remained with the\u00a0VIDAA U6\u00a0version .<\/p>\n

Hisense 65A7KQ is thus comparable to televisions from other better-known brands, since the truth is that the Hisense OS has taken a huge leap and is very, very competent.<\/p>\n

The basis of the interface is a bar with different menus and options.\u00a0You have, of course, a main\u00a0content\u00a0tab , showing what you can see classified in various ways.\u00a0Search engine, app store,\u00a0web browser (Odin), a\u00a0configuration\u00a0or settings menu…<\/p>\n

You will see that there are many\u00a0apps installed\u00a0once you turn on the TV.\u00a0Don’t worry because, although there are many classic ones, they are not the only ones, you can\u00a0download many more\u00a0in a store dedicated to this.<\/p>\n

Other options that you can enjoy on your television are the launch of content from other devices (mirroring), since the HISENSE 65A7KQ has\u00a0Anyview Cast and Anyview Stream\u00a0.<\/p>\n

It is expected that it also comes with an assistant, and it gets it with\u00a0Alexa\u00a0, to which you can speak by pressing a button on the remote control so that it answers you or follows your instructions.<\/p>\n

Other elements worth mentioning are MHEG support , Hotel mode, built-in player to start watching your content as soon as possible, you can configure TimeShift , get subtitles in many languages, record TV, consult the content guide for the entire week , make use of teletext and manage various aspects of TV from the Vidaa app.<\/p>\n
