To me looks like a genuine reduction, on a genuinely well reviewed entry-level QLED screen. All other retailers are currently selling this for around £100 more.

Review summary:
The Hisense A7Q (including the A7QTUK variant) is generally reviewed as a high-value, entry-level QLED TV that excels in brightness and color vibrancy but struggles with HDR accuracy and narrow viewing angles. It is positioned as a significant step up from the base A6 series due to its inclusion of Quantum Dot technology and an integrated subwoofer.
Key Performance Highlights
Picture Quality: The use of a VA panel and Direct LED backlight provides strong native contrast (rated around 3800:1 to 4000:1) and deep blacks. Reviewers from RTINGS.com note it has great out-of-the-box color accuracy in SDR but tends to overbrighten HDR content, straying from the creators intent.
Gaming Features: While limited to a 60Hz refresh rate, it supports Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) and Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM). Users on Reddit and professional testers report low input lag (approx. 14.6ms), though slower pixel response times can cause minor blurring in fast-paced motion.
Audio: Unlike many budget sets, the A7Q features a 2.1 channel system with a built-in 20W subwoofer, delivering a total of 40W output. Experts at What Hi-Fi found the audio more satisfying than the picture, noting it handles Dolby Atmos and DTS:X well without cabinet buzzing at high volumes.
Smart Platform: It runs on the VIDAA OS (version U9 in 2025 models), which is described as responsive with a clean layout. In the UK, it includes the Freely service for streaming live TV without an aerial.
Cons to Consider
Narrow Viewing Angles: Colors and contrast degrade quickly if you arent sitting directly in front of the screen.
No Local Dimming: It uses direct lighting but lacks zone-based dimming, which can lead to a washed-out look in very dark rooms when bright highlights are present.
HDR Limitations: While it supports Dolby Vision and HDR10, it isnt bright enough to make HDR highlights truly pop compared to higher-end Mini-LED models.
