If you're looking for a more economical option and can compromise on picture quality, the Amazon 4-Series could suit your needs, although it performs poorly across the board, including for movies, sports, and gaming. However, the Hisense U7G offers an overall good picture quality, excels in gaming with very good performance, and handles both dark and bright rooms better. It's important to note that the Amazon TV has subpar sound quality, while the Hisense has good speakers, which might influence your experience if you don't plan to use an external sound system. If you enjoy watching HDR content, the Hisense supports Dolby Vision and HDR10+, while the Amazon does not, potentially delivering a richer viewing experience with the Hisense. Consider the Hisense U7G if you prefer a better quality picture and gaming experience, and can justify the higher cost. Give Feedback

Tech Advisor

Jim Martin | May 2023
"The attraction here is that the 4-Series uses Amazon’s Fire TV interface. Picture quality is good but unexceptional. At the discounted prices, which can seemingly be had regularly, they are better value."

About Amazon

Amazon, the largest online retailer in North America, has forged partnerships with TCL and Hisense to produce white-label TVs incorporating their Fire OS software. These Amazon-branded TVs typically compete in the low-end and mid-range segments, offering compelling price points. Leveraging their strong reputation, Amazon has swiftly built brand trust in the TV market despite being relatively new to it. To enhance their popularity, these TVs integrate features from the Amazon ecosystem, including Alexa, providing users with a seamless and interconnected TV experience.

About Hisense

Hisense, a Chinese TV manufacturer, entered the US market in approximately 2011 and has since acquired TV divisions from various companies such as Toshiba, Sharp, Hitachi, and NEC. Currently ranking as the fourth largest vendor in terms of sales volume, Hisense aims to capture a wide range of TV budget segments. They offer exceptional value with TVs that often outperform their competitors at similar price points, making them a compelling choice for consumers. In the US, they use Google TV as their smart TV software which provides the largest app selection and a very modern user interface, however it is not as user friendly as the software from other vendors.
