I'm coming from watching an old 60" LG 1080p plasma for the last ten years. The only TV's I've seen that have touched the great blacks, lack of motion artifacts and consistent viewing angles of plasmas, have been the LG OLED T.V.'s. I've been hoping that the OLED TV's would start dropping in price for 4 yrs now, and it just doesn't seem like it's going to ever happen.
I'm not willing to spend $3000 on a 70"+ TV, so this well reviewed Hisense seemed like a decent compromise. It's definitely a compromise. I still like the overall picture quality better on my 60" plasma, but I like the size and brightness of the Hisense. The Hisense has pretty decent Blacks and Contrast, but only from a direct, straight viewing angle. Any viewing from the sides of the TV and the picture quality seems to be severely compromised. I also hate the "soap opera effect" type of picture that was part of the TV's stock settings. I just don't understand how and why, anyone could possibly stand this type of refresh rate chicanery. It's unbearable to me, and luckily can be either mitigated or completely eliminated on this TV without too much fast motion artifacting.
All in all, I think it's a decent 75" TV for $800, but I'm still hoping for the day OLED's or some other plasma'esqe type of TV tech becomes widely available for a reasonable price, until then hopefully this $800 TV will fill the gap.

4.7/5 from a Branded Company! And cheaper as well
I bought the 75" version of the Samsung TU7000 (same family as the TU6985) last week for my game room. Out of curiosity, I put it next to the 75" Hisense U6G in my living room and spent 3 or 4 hours running side-by-side tests.
I ended up returning the Samsung to the store.
Why did I try the Samsung? Because Consumer Reports rated it with a slightly higher number. But side-by-side testing showed first hand why Rtings.com rates the U6G so highly. If you're curious and want to test a TV yourself, there are 100's of screen test videos and patterns on YouTube. And I tried the calibration settings recommended by CR, and those by Rtings.com, and a few others.
To be clear, the Samsung TU7000 isn't horrible. Medium-brightness scenes (most content) look fantastic, as they do on almost any modern TV. Outside of that, though, it goes downhill:
- Dark scenes on the TU7000 are washed out and unclear. The U6G is much better; not perfect but far better than the Samsung.
- Blacks turn gray on the TU7000 if not viewed directly on-center (vertically and left/right). Not big angles; even 5 or 10 degrees. On the U6G, I get almost no degradation left or right, even at high viewing angles (45 degrees plus). And the blacks are darker. I can see why there was confusion about it being VA vs IPS (the one I have is IPS). Like the TU7000, blacks do turn gray on the U6G if viewed off-angle vertically, but again, it's overall better than the Samsung.
- Screen uniformity on the TU7000 is a bit rubbish, mostly noticeable during panning scenes (dirty screen effect). The screen uniformity test pictures on rtings.com are very similar to what I saw using test content (shades of gray).
I'm not going to go on about every test, but hopefully you get the point. The U6G isn't perfect, but it's a much better TV than the TU7000, or any other TV in its price range.Sign up for a Slickdeals account to remove this ad.

The way to remove most is to go menu, picture, advanced setting, turn off motion enhancement, go back and apply picture settings to current source, but repeat that motion off to other sources as well, but change it her picture parameters individually fur each source.
It helped a lot for disney movies, and other movie apps
also remove film maker mode
edit...crap my bad, I have the u7g..maybe it will still work for u though

I went from a similar Samsung to what you linked to a 65" U7G. Not a single regret. The 120Hz screen, local dimming, high HDR compatibility and brightness, and great contrast make for a far better experience. To get the closest Samsung equivalent, I'd have to get the Q80 that costs 50% more than what I paid. Is it as good as an LG OLED? Of course not. But for my budget, it's perfect.
Best move I made was getting a cheap TCL for a bedroom. Not only has it lasted, but it's proven to me that you can try brands other than Sony, LG, and Vizio with great success. I was stuck on "known brands" too before then.
