The U7Q PRO is a television that, after just a few minutes, gives a clear signal: "speed matters here." Hisense surprised us with how much they managed to pack into a device that doesn’t cost a fortune. A refreshing rate of 165 Hz in 4K, and even 288 Hz in Full HD – not that long ago, such numbers were reserved exclusively for top gaming monitors. And here you go, we have a mid-range television with almost a full set of gaming features that confidently throws down the gauntlet to much more expensive competitors. However, it doesn't stop at speed-related qualities. The U7Q PRO also boasts a very bright screen, which peaks at even 1500 nits. Like every Mini-LED, it has its typical "moods" associated with this technology, sometimes slightly exaggerating the image, but the overall visual effect remains very positive – especially with HDR content. It's also worth mentioning the Vidaa operating system – fast, intuitive, and equipped with features such as AirPlay, a voice assistant, and a web browser. Although you won't find the full range of apps known from Android here, the system performs really well in everyday use. So why is it "almost" ideal for gamers? It’s just missing the HGiG feature, which allows for precise adjustment of brightness levels in HDR games. This is a minor flaw, but it may be significant for console purists. Nonetheless, the U7Q PRO remains a very solid offering – and at the same time proof that Chinese manufacturers have not only caught up with their competitors from Korea or Japan but have even begun to outpace them in some aspects.

Halo effect and black detail visibility:

The LG NANO82T features a VA panel that delivers commendable native contrast. Compared to IPS panels, VA technology provides better black depth and higher contrast, resulting in more vivid and realistic images. However, the absence of local dimming—common in this price range—reveals some of the TV's limitations. Without the ability to selectively dim specific screen areas, darker sections lack the necessary precision and often appear as dark navy rather than true black. This issue is noticeable in tested scenes, such as those from The Revenant, where the overall picture quality is affected. In particular, darker scenes may lose detail, diminishing the viewing experience in low-light settings.

The Hisense U7Q PRO is an mini-LED television with a VA panel and - in the 65-inch version we tested - 560 local dimming zones. It's worth noting that this number varies depending on the size - larger diagonals will have more zones, while smaller ones will have correspondingly fewer. But regardless of that, the dimming system itself works really solidly here.

The contrast performs really well, considering the price range this model falls into. Under the best conditions, the U7Q PRO can achieve results close to six-digit values, which until recently was reserved for much higher-end equipment. In practice - in scenes like the one from the movie Oblivion - the picture looks stunning. With a bit of light on in the room, it's hard at first glance to distinguish this television from organic screens. Of course, it's still an LCD with local dimming, so compromises are unavoidable. In more challenging scenes, where many small light sources appear, the U7Q PRO tends to dim too aggressively. Instead of a slight deterioration of black levels, some details that should be visible disappear. This is a side effect of the algorithm that strongly adheres to the principle of "black should be black," even at the cost of subtle image elements.

But all in all - contrast is one of the stronger points of this model.

The brightness of the LG NANO82T is rather average, especially compared to other TVs in a similar price range. With a peak brightness of approximately 280 nits, it falls short of many competitors offering levels exceeding 400-500 nits. This limitation impacts the viewing experience, particularly for HDR content. Bright areas of the image may lack definition, and the HDR effect fails to deliver the dramatic impact expected from higher-end displays, making the overall image less striking in well-lit scenes.

U7Q PRO is truly a bright television. In synthetic tests, it achieved over 1500 nits, which is an outstanding result for this price range. Such brightness – at least in theory – allows for displaying HDR content as intended by creators, even in more demanding scenes with strong light. In practice, it can be very good, but not always perfect. In bright scenes with a large surface area – such as the test screen with intense sunlight from the movie "Pan" – U7Q PRO makes a huge impression. It can almost blind with light, which is definitely an advantage in the context of HDR content. Unfortunately, this is not always maintainable when a lot of small bright details appear on a dark background. In such moments, local dimming algorithms decide to dim some bright elements to maintain good black levels – and the side effect is that some details simply disappear from the frame. This is a classic compromise in mini-LED televisions – and U7Q PRO is no exception. However, with such a large number of dimming zones, one could expect a somewhat more mature algorithm responsible for controlling them. Fortunately, the overall reception of HDR content is very positive. U7Q PRO is not only bright but also colorful; thanks to the PFS LED (QLED) coating, the coverage of the DCI-P3 color palette is at 95%, and BT.2020 is around 73%.

Factory color reproduction

After calibration

Factory Mode

After calibration

The colour reproduction in the LG NANO82T in Filmmaker mode, while the best factory setting available, does have flaws. The primary issue lies in white balance, where measurements reveal a drop in the level of blue. This shifts towards yellow hues, making the image warmer than intended. Such deviations prevent natural colour reproduction, especially in scenes with white or neutral backgrounds. For instance, in Star Wars, where numerous elements should appear white, the colours deviate noticeably. The Color Checker test corroborates this, showing some shades "escaping" into others, further highlighting the lack of accurate colour rendering.

In terms of contrast, the gamma graph analysis showed a drop to 2.1, falling short of the optimal 2.4. This leads to darker parts of the image appearing brighter, reducing depth and dynamism. Additionally, the EOTF curve, which governs brightness reproduction, shows a slight spike at the start. This can result in an excessive brightness boost in the brightest areas, causing a loss of detail in very bright scenes.

We tested the U7Q PRO in the best possible picture mode that this model offers – Filmmaker Mode. And indeed, it is this mode that performs best in terms of color reproduction. But that doesn't mean it's perfect. In our test unit, both in SDR and HDR content, the image had a slightly cooled tone. The white balance was shifted towards blue, which made the overall impression feel a bit "cooler." It's not glaring, but definitely noticeable – especially on white backgrounds that, instead of neutral, appeared slightly bluish. Additionally – as we mentioned earlier – the television tends to slightly brighten and oversaturate the image, which is also confirmed by the gamma and EOTF charts. All of this together means that without calibration the image may seem a bit unnatural – too cool, with slightly exaggerated dynamics. That's why we decided to conduct our own calibration – and its effects and charts can be seen below.

Color reproduction after calibration

7.6/10

7.5/10

After calibration, the colour reproduction in SDR content on the LG NANO82T is impressive. The white balance has been effectively corrected, resulting in natural, balanced tones across various scenes. Gamma adjustments ensure more precise rendering of details in shadows and bright areas, enhancing the viewing experience. These improvements allow the television to perform well in everyday use, delivering solid colour accuracy and well-balanced images in SDR mode.

Unfortunately, the situation with HDR content is less satisfactory. The TV lacks support for a wide colour gamut, limiting the depth and richness that HDR can achieve. The EOTF curve deviates from the ideal, leading to overemphasis on details in brighter areas. This causes noticeable colour reproduction errors, as confirmed by Colour Checker tests. Additionally, the panel's low brightness further hampers HDR image quality, diminishing dynamic range effects and causing colours to appear washed out.

Overall, the TV significantly improves after calibration, particularly in SDR mode. The enhancements to white balance and gamma elevate image quality, offering more natural and cohesive colour reproduction. Compared to its pre-calibration state, the difference is evident, and the television now performs noticeably better in standard dynamic range scenarios.

Thanks to calibration, we managed to tame the white balance in both SDR and HDR content. For SDR materials, the effect is really very good – the image becomes neutral, consistent, and simply pleasant to view. Everything looks as it should.

The performance in HDR is a bit worse. Although the white balance looks correct and overall the image gains in naturalness, unfortunately, delta E errors remain noticeable. Why? Because Hisense does not give us full control over how the U7Q PRO manages brightness in HDR mode. This is where the limitation appears. When we look at the EOTF curve for HDR content, we can clearly see what we mentioned earlier – at the beginning of the graph, there is a noticeable drop, meaning the television dims the smallest sections more than it should. On the other hand, the brightest elements can be illuminated a bit too much. As a result, some details are lost, others are too aggressive, and overall control over brightness does not always align with what we are trying to achieve during calibration.

Does the image look better after calibration? Definitely yes, in terms of color. But when it comes to managing brightness in HDR, we have to accept that the Hisense U7Q PRO will do it its own way.

Smoothness of tonal transitions

8.9/10

9.5/10

The TV handles tonal transitions smoothly, offering high-quality images in every scene. Problems with gradation occur occasionally, mainly in darker shades, but these are subtle enough that most viewers won't notice them. Only those with particularly sensitive vision may perceive these minor imperfections.

The U7Q PRO handles tonal transitions really well. Colors blend smoothly, without any banding, stripes, or strange artifacts. Even in more challenging scenes that usually bring out any imperfections—there was nothing to complain about here. The image simply looks clean. Gradients—both colorful and gray—are fluid, nothing tears, nothing distracts. It's one of those elements you don't notice while watching… certainly not in the case of the U7Q PRO.

The LG NANO82T features a "Smooth Gradation" option for handling tonal transitions in low-quality materials. The "Low" setting improves the most problematic transitions, providing a noticeable and helpful enhancement. However, the "High" setting, while further smoothing tonal transitions, sacrifices some detail in the process. This can be a compromise that not all viewers will appreciate.

The image scaling on the LG NANO82T has some limitations, particularly when displaying lower-resolution content. The TV applies a subtle artificial sharpening, which makes the image appear sharper, but this effect is mainly due to artificial contours. Some users may find this beneficial, as it highlights details more prominently, but for others who prefer a more natural image, it may appear overly processed and artificial. This is a subjective preference that varies from viewer to viewer.

If someone happens to come across older materials where the issue of color banding appears – Hisense has a solution for that. In the U7Q PRO, we find a feature called "Smooth and Gradient Picture." Set to the "Medium" level, it works really well – it eliminates most of the gradation issues while not smoothing out the entire image, like blur in Photoshop. 😉 Film grain remains, details do not disappear – this is exactly how it should work. Kudos for the implementation!

As for scaling weaker materials, it’s just good. It’s not at the level of the most expensive TVs with advanced upscaling, but older content looks good. There is some mild aliasing at very low resolutions, but that’s completely normal and hard to avoid. On the plus side – even with the oldest materials, there is no overscan effect; the image is not cropped or artificially stretched.

LG televisions, including the NANO82T, come with an interesting motion smoother called TruMotion providing users with control over the quality of films they watch. The TruMotion feature allows adjustment of the motion fluidity on a 10-point scale, offering a personalised visual experience.

However, when it comes to more dynamic content, such as games or action films, the performance falls short. With its 60Hz panel and relatively slow pixel response, motion fluidity is less than ideal. This results in noticeable trailing and less smooth playback during fast-paced scenes.

Overall, the LG NANO82T is a good option for those who primarily watch movies and prefer more subdued content. Viewers who prioritise fast, dynamic motion, may prefer an alternative model.

“Speed” – this word was mentioned most frequently during our tests of the U7Q PRO. The television is equipped with a 165 Hz panel, which is impressive in itself – especially since we are talking about a model in the mid-price range. Of course, PC gamers will benefit the most from its full capabilities, but even during everyday viewing, it is evident that this is a fast and efficient panel. Like most modern televisions, the U7Q PRO can also enhance the smoothness of movies that are primarily shot in 24 frames. In the menu, there is a slider that allows you to adjust the effect to your preferences – from a more cinematic feel, with subtle motion, to stronger smoothing with the characteristic “soap opera effect.”

When playing on the console, the LG NANO82T offers several features that can enhance the gaming experience, though it also has some limitations. Notably, the ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode) feature stands out, automatically adjusting picture settings to switch the television to low latency mode, which is especially beneficial for gamers requiring quick reactions. Another advantage is the support for HGiG (HDR Gaming Interest Group), ensuring HDR games are displayed as intended by the creators and providing vibrant and realistic visuals. These features contribute to a solid gaming experience, but there are some drawbacks, particularly in fast-paced scenes.

The LG NANO82T has limitations when it comes to advanced gaming features. It lacks support for variable refresh rate (VRR), which affects gameplay smoothness, especially in more dynamic games. The TV's 60Hz panel restricts the ability to use higher refresh rates, a significant downside for gamers seeking smoother gameplay at higher resolutions. Additionally, the absence of G-Sync technology limits image synchronisation, potentially leading to tearing and stuttering during gameplay.

These limitations mean that while the LG NANO82T offers a good gaming experience for casual gamers, it may not meet the expectations of more demanding players seeking advanced features and maximum image fluidity.


These shortcomings may mean that the LG NANO82T does not meet the expectations of the most demanding gamers looking for advanced features and the highest image fluidity.

The Hisense U7Q PRO is a television that seems almost designed for gamers. It has practically everything you could expect from a gaming screen: variable refresh rate (VRR), automatic mode (ALLM), and as many as four HDMI 2.1b ports with full bandwidth of 48 Gb/s. Additionally, there is a clear and quite functional Game Bar, as well as a well-implemented Dolby Vision GAMING mode that works seamlessly with Xbox Series S and X consoles.

Sounds like perfection? Well, almost. Unfortunately, Hisense has yet to implement the HGiG feature, which is the system's limit on tone mapping on the TV's side. This means that when configuring HDR brightness on the console, we do it "by eye" or look for settings in online guides because the screen doesn't show the real range of its brightness. It's a pity - because HGiG makes it easier to match the console to the TV and helps avoid clipping or overly dark scenes in HDR games.

Fortunately, the other elements work very well. Signal delay (input lag) is low, responsiveness is excellent, and the handling of other functions is flawless. And although not everything worked perfectly, the U7Q PRO can still be recommended to gamers without hesitation.

Input lag in the LG NANO82T is exceptional, with a maximum value of just 15 ms. This impressive result ensures an immediate response to the player's movements, delivering smooth and responsive gameplay. Such low latency is crucial for players relying on quick and precise actions. Whether playing action-packed games or slower-paced ones, the TV offers an outstanding gaming experience, minimising lag and enhancing overall immersion in the gaming world.

In terms of signal delay, the Hisense U7Q PRO performs really well. For 120 Hz content, the input lag stays below 10 ms, which translates into lightning-fast response – the screen reacts almost instantly to our movements, something that console and PC gamers will particularly appreciate. For 60 Hz content, the situation is slightly worse, as the response time doubles – this is natural and applies to almost all televisions. Nevertheless, it still remains below 20 ms, which can easily be considered a very good result, almost close to perfection – and in practice, it’s hard to feel this during gameplay.

The collaboration between the LG NANO82T and a computer works very well. The high readability of fonts makes text-based tasks more comfortable. Additionally, the TV supports chroma 4:4:4, ensuring sharp and clear details. On-screen actions are smooth and responsive, with a low input lag of just 14 ms. However, displaying fonts on a dark green background can sometimes be distracting, which is a minor flaw. Despite this, the NANO82T offers a solid computer usage experience, combining excellent readability with responsive performance.

Playing on a PC using the Hisense U7Q PRO is pure fun. Low input lag, full 165 Hz at 4K, and even 288 Hz at Full HD – these are numbers we wouldn't expect from a TV at this price. In this regard, it's really hard to complain about anything. If someone is looking for a large screen for gaming from a PC, the U7Q PRO can confidently serve as a monitor. It performs a bit worse for everyday work with text. Although chroma 4:4:4 is present, so theoretically everything should look good. But in practice, gray fonts on a dark background look strange – vertical lines are sharp, but horizontal ones can blur, disappear, or look slightly dimmed. However, it must be honestly added that if you use the TV as usual – that is, from a few meters away – you probably won't notice this. The problem only becomes apparent when someone places the U7Q PRO on a desk, a meter from their face, and starts working with text or spreadsheets. If you plan to use it this way – it's worth keeping this in mind.

Viewing angles

The viewing angles on the LG NANO82T are limited, which is typical for budget VA panels. When viewed from the side, colours lose their vibrancy, and contrast deteriorates. Blacks become washed out, and details become harder to discern. This can affect the viewing experience in larger rooms where people are seated at various angles. While VA panels offer better contrast and deeper blacks than IPS panels, their narrow viewing angles are a significant downside. If you often watch TV from different spots in the room, this could impact the overall visual experience.

In this regard, the U7Q PRO is average. The television is equipped with a VA panel, which is not known for its wide viewing angles. When we start to look at the screen from an angle, the image clearly loses brightness, and the colors begin to wash out. This is a completely normal phenomenon in VA panels without additional coatings to widen the angles – so if you plan to watch from the side or with a larger group, it's worth keeping this in mind. On the other hand, head-on – the image looks great, with deep blacks and very good contrast, much better than on IPS/ADS panels.

In terms of daytime performance, the LG NANO82T falls short. The satin panel offers only average reflection suppression, which can be an issue in bright rooms. The low screen brightness of just 250 nits is the main limitation, as it struggles to deliver adequate picture quality in well-lit environments. This significantly hampers its performance in such conditions, making it less suitable for bright spaces.

As we mentioned earlier – the U7Q PRO is truly a bright television, especially when it comes to HDR content. In the case of SDR material, the television dims a bit, but an average brightness of around 500 nits is still a very solid result. This means that you can easily watch TV or movies even in a quite bright room. Only in very extreme lighting – for example, strong sunlight directly on the screen – visibility may suffer a bit. Fortunately, Hisense has applied a satin anti-reflective coating that effectively reduces glare, and blacks maintain their depth even during the day. This makes a difference and allows for comfortable use of the television in various lighting conditions.

The LG NANO82T offers a range of features that greatly enhance user comfort. Its webOS operating system is intuitive, fast, and provides a wide selection of applications that are easy to install and operate. The Magic Remote is another highlight, functioning like a computer mouse for quick and efficient menu navigation. WebOS also includes AirPlay, allowing seamless streaming from Apple devices like iPhones and iPads.

In everyday use, the television excels. It features a recording function, enabling you to save your favourite programs for later viewing. Pairing with other devices is straightforward, thanks to built-in Bluetooth. You can easily connect headphones, speakers, or even keyboards and mice, enhancing its versatility. However, the lack of a Picture-in-Picture (PIP) function is a downside, as it would allow for simultaneous viewing of two programs. Despite this, the LG NANO82T remains an excellent choice for everyday use, offering many modern and convenient features.

Classic Features of U7Q PRO

If you plan to use the television in a more "classic" way, meaning for watching daily programs or connecting headphones, the Hisense U7Q PRO has almost everything you could expect. The TV supports USB recording without any issues, you can connect headphones via Bluetooth, and the remote control is backlit, which still isn't standard even in more expensive models. While many people today forego these classic features in favor of streaming applications, it's good to know that the U7Q PRO still does this properly and without compromises (aside from the lack of a PiP feature).

SmartTV System: Vidaa

As for smart features, in Europe, this model operates on the VIDAA system. The system works smoothly, has a built-in web browser, supports voice control (also in Polish), and AirPlay, which will please users of Apple devices. However, it should be noted that VIDAA is a closed system, so you won't find all the popular applications that Android TV or Google TV have accustomed us to. Before purchasing, it's worth checking if the apps you actually use are available.

The file player in the LG NANO82T is similar to those found in other LG models and will meet the needs of most users, providing convenient and efficient playback of various video and audio files. However, more demanding users who require support for unconventional image formats may encounter some limitations. In such cases, using a computer would be recommended to achieve full compatibility with different file formats. Overall, the file player in the LG NANO82T performs its basic function well, though it may not offer the flexibility required by more advanced users.

The built-in media player in the VIDAA system worked very smoothly and without any issues on our U7Q PRO unit. The television effortlessly read external video and audio files, as well as subtitles, making it convenient to watch movies from a USB flash drive or external hard drive. Most popular formats worked flawlessly, so there was no need to convert anything. The only point of contention is a certain selectiveness in handling high-resolution images – not all of them opened. Therefore, you will find an exact list of supported image resolutions (Mpix) in our comparison chart.

The sound quality of the LG NANO82T is decent, though not exceptional. It is equipped with two 10W speakers located at the bottom, offering adequate audio for everyday use. However, the absence of DTS format support may be a drawback for Blu-ray users who expect higher-quality sound. While the audio is sufficient for regular viewing, those seeking a more immersive experience or superior sound performance might find it lacking.

For the standards of built-in television speakers, the U7Q PRO sounds surprisingly good. The sound is clear, with distinct mid and high tones, and the bass – while obviously limited – does not completely disappear. One could say that for "TV speakers," the level is more than satisfactory. However, it’s worth noting that in our test model, we were unable to play DTS:X audio from local files – the television simply does not support it. This means that if you are counting on a cinematic spatial effect solely from its built-in speakers, there may be a bit of disappointment. Fortunately, the television seamlessly transmits DTS signal to an external amplifier, so if you have a home theater – just connect it, and everything works as it should.
