75" Hisense U6G Quantum ULED 4K Smart Android TV + $100 Select Retailer GC Expired

I wish Hisense would make a 75" U8G

This A6G series is $90 cheaper. Not sure if the two are different or similar enough to warrant the price difference...

Previous model. NOT worth saving 90 bucks.

I have both 75" versions of this TV.

I bought the newer version first, and mounted it in a game room that always has daylight or lights on when watching. The picture is amazing, and I had no idea it was IPS/ADS until I read all the online debates. So I shut off the lights and ran tests in the dark. In that environment, blacks are very dark on most YouTube test videos because of the local dimming, but dark real content (Expanse, Witcher, etc.) reveals that the blacks aren't inky, and the movie bars are visible.

We wanted another 75 for our movie room, which is almost always dark when we're watching TV, so I looked for, and found, and original VA version. That picture is also amazing, and has inky blacks when the lights are off, with movie bars that disappear.

(I also verified the panel types with pixel pictures.)

For most content, the difference in the blacks between the two isn't noticeable, especially during the day or with lights on. As expected, the original VA panel is better if viewing dark content from a dark room, and the newer IPS/ADS version has slightly better viewing angles.

I do have different backlight levels set: on the newer ADS version I have backlight at 12 (like Rtings.com), and on the original VA version I have backlight set to 37 (like CR), both with auto-dim enabled.

Settings on these TVs have to be tuned to get a great picture; the defaults aren't good. Rtings.com has good suggestions that work for both versions.

The 2 boxes they came in look identical. The only difference on the outside is the serial number sticker - no manufacture date or version info. The backs of the 2 TVs look completely different, but the boxes need to be opened to see them. There are pictures posted on Best Buy (reviews), along with details.

Thanks for the detailed note but do not understate the gray blacks which as you note are mostly visible during dark scenes and/or dark room situations. They will always be noticeable and degrades significantly the viewing experience in movie watching. This is why oleds are so well regarded. If you are playing games or watching the news in bright room then it is not very important but if you mostly movie watching then this TV ruins it.

I just canceled my previous order and reordered today to take advantage of the $100 gift card offer:

$100 Digital Reward Gift Card.
Receive a $100 Digital Reward Gift Card from these select retailers (Papa John's, Instacart, Uber Eats, Domino's, Grub Hub or Door Dash) when you purchase a qualifying Hisense ULED TV. Offered by Amazon.com. Here's how (restrictions apply)

Screen shot of offer attached in case it proves helpful to anyone. Doordash GC is as good as cash to me, so $699 for this TV is a total steal. Best TV under $1,000 and it just got even better!

This TV got more attention a month ago when it was $100 more. SDers are an odd lot.

Did you get any confirmation of the GC when you ordered?

Yeah man! They are going to come back and steal your $700 TV! They won't be able to resist!! You can't hide money!!

LOL

Which liberal controlled crime infested city do you live in?

I paid $600 for my 55" TV hanging outside at my swimming pool area, for all to see. It's hung there for years and no one has bothered it. I was looking at this one to replace it.

Has anyone tried this?

I complained to Amazon twice via chat about not receiving the promised gift card. The first rep said I should receive it in two days; when I didn't, I followed up and the second rep gave me a $100 *refund* -- yes, you read that right. YMMV...
