Hisense 50S7SG Tv Review
Our verdict
The Hisense 50S7SG pairs QLED picture quality with Google TV on a 50-inch panel at $749.99, which is a premium price for this screen size. With 21 ratings at 4.0 stars and 50 units bought last month, the early reception is decent but the value case against other 50-inch QLED options deserves scrutiny.

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. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The Hisense 50S7SG is a 50-inch QLED television with 4K UHD resolution running Google TV as its smart platform. QLED brings quantum-dot color enhancement over standard LED, and Google TV is one of the more capable smart TV platforms with strong voice search, Google Assistant, and app ecosystem integration. Connectivity covers Bluetooth, Ethernet, HDMI, USB, and Wi-Fi, and the unit weighs 31.7 pounds.
The depth of just 1.1 inches is notably slim for a 50-inch set, which helps with wall mounting and shelf placement. No refresh rate or HDR tier is listed in the specs, which are relevant gaps at $749.99. At this price, competing 50-inch QLED models from Samsung and TCL typically publish those specs clearly, so the omission may just be a listing gap rather than a missing feature.
21 ratings at 4.0 stars is a thin sample for a TV at this price, but 50 units sold last month suggests the model is gaining traction. The combination of QLED and Google TV in a slim profile is appealing, but the $749.99 price tag is difficult to justify for 50 inches without more data and clearer spec documentation.
Pros
- QLED panel with 4K UHD on Google TV platform
- Slim 1.1-inch depth profile for easy wall mounting
- Full connectivity: Bluetooth, Ethernet, HDMI, USB, Wi-Fi

Cons
- High price at $749.99 for a 50-inch screen
- Refresh rate and HDR tier not listed
- Only 21 ratings, limited reliability data
- 4.0-star average is below the lineup's stronger performers

What buyers say
21 reviews at 4.0 stars with 50 purchases last month paints a cautiously positive picture. Buyers are choosing this TV and the average rating is acceptable, but the score is lower than many comparable models in this lineup. More reviews will clarify whether the 4.0 average holds or drifts.

Frequently asked questions
Why is this 50-inch TV priced at $749.99 when similar sizes cost less?
The $749.99 price reflects the QLED panel and Google TV platform combination. Standard LED 50-inch TVs routinely land well under $500. QLED adds quantum-dot color enhancement, and Google TV is a premium platform. Whether those differences justify the premium over competing 50-inch QLED models from other brands is worth comparing directly before purchase.
How does Google TV compare to Roku on a Hisense?
Google TV integrates Google Assistant, Google Play app store, and strong search-across-services functionality. It surfaces content from multiple apps in a unified recommendation interface. Roku is simpler and widely regarded as easier to navigate. Google TV suits buyers who are already in the Google ecosystem and want voice-controlled search across all their streaming services.
Is the 1.1-inch depth real, and does it affect the picture?
The published dimensions list 1.1 inches as the depth, which would make this one of the slimmest 50-inch panels in this price range. Slim depth profiles are typically achieved with edge-lit LED arrangements rather than full-array backlighting, which can affect local dimming capability. Without a confirmed backlight type in the specs, the depth figure is a useful wall-mount data point but not a picture-quality indicator by itself.
