This 85 inch Hisense QD7 is framed as a budget giant that shines for size, gaming, and everyday streaming. The 144Hz refresh, Google TV, and 4K playback get strong praise, and the picture is often described as surprisingly good for the price, especially from farther seating distances. The main tradeoffs are weaker black levels than OLED or mini LED, no local dimming, and some concern about Hisense reliability and shipping damage. It looks like a solid large screen value if you want size first and premium contrast second.
people shopping for a big 85" budget TV because they want "a big tv on a budget" and don't expect OLED or mini-LED local dimming at this price
families who mostly watch 4K streaming and want something that looks good at normal room distances because 4K Netflix/YouTube is reported as smooth and "items pop out in 4K," with kids finding cartoons acceptable
owners who care about Google TV responsiveness more than perfect black levels because one 85QD7N owner says Android/Google TV is "snappy" and that the lack of local dimming "doesn't bother" them
buyers who want OLED/mini-LED-style contrast and local dimming because multiple comments point out there is "no local dimming" and warn that black levels can't compare to OLED or mini-LED
buyers who rely heavily on review scores for the exact model/size because commenters argue the RTINGS results may not match the specific TV they received (e.g., IPS vs QLED/VA mismatch), so the rating may not transfer
people who are sensitive to dark-scene and HDR performance because commenters say it's an IPS display and that dark scenes look "horrendous" with "white smears and blotches," recommending not buying for a main TV
people who don't want to deal with shipping/returns risk because one buyer says Walmart delivered two broken TVs and the refund took about 6 months with "neverending calls and emails," making the deal feel like a pain
At around $648-$650, it is framed as a strong value if you want a very large TV on a budget. It is best suited for viewers sitting roughly 15-20 feet away who want size and decent picture quality rather than OLED or mini-LED black levels.
The 85-inch QD7/QD75N is described as a VA panel, while the 75-inch and smaller versions are described as IPS. That matters because VA panels generally handle blacks better than IPS, so size-specific reviews may not transfer cleanly.
No local dimming is listed for this model. That means it will not match mini-LED or OLED black levels, especially in dark scenes, but it can still be a solid budget 85-inch for casual viewing.
Yes, the 85QD7N is reported to support true 144Hz refresh and feels very smooth with a gaming PC. It has also been praised for gaming on earlier Hisense models, making it a strong budget option if you want a large high-refresh display.
An extended warranty is commonly recommended for this size, with one estimate putting it around $100 for 4 years. The reason is simple: the TV is a budget large-screen model, and longevity is uncertain enough that warranty coverage can be worth it.
Weird, but same here. I use my tablet more than anything even though I have 50"-70" TVs throughout my home. Maybe I'm going through a phase. I still window shop for 85"-100" TVs though, dreaming of the day I can enjoy content on a huge screen lol.
Every time i go into Costco i dream of having a wall in my house thats just a big ass TV where you can't even see any drywall so I feel you on that. But then I realize thats a bit much for my porn collection…still I can dream
Its funny or maybe its sad or maybe its just progress but i have two 75 inch and one 65 inch QLED TVs (all 3 slickdeals) and i cant tell you the last time any of them were on. Entertainment seems to have become a personal experience with me streaming to my phone or tablet. And the same for my teenage son he would rather watch his shows on his phone or tablet even though he knows how to stream or cast them to all the TVs. So i am left wondering were my TV slick deals if no one uses them smh. How quickly trends change.
I'm the exact opposite. I can't imagine watching a show on my ipad or phone unless I'm on a plane. I'd rather stab myself in the eye with a pencil.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank
Edit: SD mobile web did not show image - so I had NO idea. But wow, that was awful. thanks
Did you click the image?? If so it's pretty easy to understand. It's an extremely subpar TV.

riting sucks now. they cheap out and bought the 65 inch version which is crap
75 inch + is excellent across the board
also, their rating leans towards useless metrics way way way too much.
