The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other LED, QLED and OLED TVs plus TV mounts, streaming media players, antennas, cables and satellite gear we track in this category on price, popularity and size.

Overview
The Hisense 55U7N is a 54.6-inch 4K QLED panel running at 144 Hz with Google TV as the smart operating system. Connectivity covers Bluetooth, Ethernet, HDMI, USB, and Wi-Fi, so you get wired stability for gaming and wireless flexibility for streaming. At 34 lb it is a relatively light set for its screen size, making wall mounting easy.
The 4.4-star average from over 1,300 reviews is one of the stronger ratings in the 55-inch QLED segment. Buyers consistently mention the motion clarity at 144 Hz and the picture quality from the QLED panel. Google TV adds the Android app ecosystem including all major streaming services, Google Assistant, and Chromecast.
At $941.97, the U7N is priced above budget 55-inch TVs but well below premium 55-inch sets. For buyers who want a step above the U6N without paying for the U8N, the U7N hits a practical midpoint. The 144 Hz panel paired with a strong buyer consensus makes this an easy recommendation for most living room and gaming setups.

Frequently asked questions
How does the Hisense 55U7N compare to the 55U6N?
The U7N adds a 144 Hz refresh rate over the U6N's 60 Hz, and generally includes a stronger local dimming implementation for better contrast. If you game or watch sports, the U7N is the clear upgrade. For casual TV watching only, the U6N saves money. The U7N also tends to carry a brighter panel, which helps with HDR and daytime viewing.
Is the 55U7N a good gaming TV?
Yes. The 144 Hz panel reduces motion blur significantly compared to 60 Hz panels, and the 4K resolution pairs well with current-gen consoles. Look for Auto Low Latency Mode in the settings menu, which the TV should engage automatically when it detects a compatible console. Response time and input lag at 144 Hz are generally competitive with higher-priced gaming monitors.
What streaming apps are available on Google TV?
Google TV supports all major streaming platforms including Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, Hulu, YouTube, Max, Peacock, and Apple TV. Because it runs Android, you can also sideload additional apps that are not in the Google Play Store. Chromecast is built in, so you can cast directly from a phone or tablet without any extra hardware.
