I own both versions of this 75" U6G: VA and IPS. IMO, they're both great, but for different use cases.
The panel type can easily be identified, but requires seeing the back of the TV. There's no way to tell if ordering online, or by looking at the outside of the box. The VA panel version has straight horizontal lines across the top of the back, and says "350w" (watts) on the ID tag. The IPS version has 2 curved lines, like a split "M", on the top of the back, and says "300w" on the ID tag. I posted detailed pictures in a review on BB's website.
For the 75", the VA panel is the original, with manufacturing dates mostly in the first half of 2021. In the middle of the year, both VA and IPS were made. Toward the end of the year, the switch to IPS was complete.
My IPS panel is in a well-lit large game room, where the wide viewing angles provide a consistent picture, and the blacks are dark enough. My VA panel is in a movie room, where most viewing is in the dark and straight-on. That TV has inky dark blacks, which are ideal for that setting.
Side note: the default picture settings on the U6G TVs aren't good. The pictures change dramatically (for the better) once the settings are optimized. Rtings.com has great baselines to start with on their review, and CR.com has additional recommendations that helped me.
How is this vs the Toshiba M550 75" that was on sale for $699 last week? I've been reading the Toshiba is between the U6 and U7 and also made by Hisense.
The Toshiba M550 is much better if you don't mind Fire TV OS (I prefer Fire TV over Android though). The Toshiba has 48 local dimming zones vs 32 on this U6G, and 120 native refresh rate (no VRR and HDMI 2.1 though).
I have this in the 75. I got the IPS panel. It's mediocre at best. I had also gotten the 65 which I was impressed with, but returned it because it had some issues with ghosting. I was hoping the 75 would come as a VA panel. I kept because they offered me a solid discount.

Incorrect info here, according to Rtings, the Hisense U6G has a decent local dimming feature. The 65 and 75 inch models have 60 dimming zones, while the 50 and 55 models have 32 zones.
Recently bought this TV and I'm pleasantly surprised at how good it is. Colors are extremely vivid and rich. I like it a lot, seems well worth the cost.

There is no sure way to tell as people received VA as well as IPS panels for the same TV if you look at the reviews. Recently though i heard that they are all IPS.

I want the 75, but I can't do Hisense and BB. Need better assurances like Costcos warranty
Geeksquad warranty is pretty top notch. I got the cheapest 75in Hisense last year on clearance, when it died this year they sent someone out to diagnose, then offered a new better 75in Hisense, or the value of it plus tax which I chose. They essentially paid me $100 to rent a TV for a year.

You can get an xrite colorimeter and dial in the settings on the TV. it's a bit spendy, but it works on ALL your computer displays and tvs, (doesn't work on tablet/phones).
So if you divide the price, it's pretty worth it.
Do not get datacolor colorimeters, they don't work on Oled/ VA tvs.

I bought this in November for $850 and love it as a bedroom tv. Not the greatest viewing angles but not a problem in the bedroom. Great picture for the price

120hz I can live without but in my opinion VRR is a must have feature even if you only game casually
Thank you!

I'm still confused why so many people want to cut notches in anything wooden.
