The new 2025 model boasts a Mini-LED panel and 144Hz refresh rate.
This week, Hisense released its all new 2025 Hisense QD7 4K Smart TV, and the 85″ model is already on sale. The list price is pegged at $1,299.99, but Amazon currently has it for just $999.99. This is an excellent deal for a huge TV equipped with a quantum dot mini-LED panel and a native 144Hz refresh rate that’s perfect for your PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X console. If you’re on an even tighter budget, the older 2024 85″ Hisense QD7, which lacks the Mini-LED panel but has the same 144Hz refresh rate, has dropped back down to $799.99, matching the best deal we saw during Black Friday.
The QD7 is Hisense’s mid-tier gaming-oriented TV that’s a great candidate for playing games on a PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X console. That’s because it’s equipped with a native 144Hz panel that can run games in 4K at up to 144fps over HDMI 2.1. Other gaming features include variable refresh rate from 48Hz to 144Hz, auto low latency mode with MEMC, and AMD FreeSync Premium support. The QD7 is also great for watching movies and shows in 4K HDR, since it supports Dolby Vision, HDR10, HDR10+, and HLG formats. Both models feature quantum dot technology for brighter, punchier colors.
What are the differences between the 2025 and 2024 models?
The 2025 model improves upon its predecessor with the addition of Mini-LED technology. LED-backlit panels, like its name suggests, consists of an array of LEDs that can independently turn on and off, thus improving black levels and contrast ratio. In a Mini-LED panel, the LEDs are smaller and more numerous, which allows for finer control of brightness levels within the same scene. The 2025 model has also switched from Google TV to the Fire TV interface. Both smart interfaces are easy to use and it just comes down to user preference.
Right now you won’t find another 85″ TV at this price point with the same feature set, especially the Mini-LED technology and the 144Hz refresh rate.
