Hisense H9G – Most affordable Premium TV or best mid range overall?
The Hisense H9G is the better 2020 ULED TV, so the best conusmer TV Hisense has to offer. The Chinese manufacturer made this model, in only two sizes being 55 and 65 inches.

Impressive HDR Performance
The TV comes with a 10bit-VA-Panel with deep blacks and a very high contrast ratio of more than 10000:1. The ULED with a Quantum Dot Layer and a well implemented Full Array Local Dimming Feature reaches a maximum brightness of 1800 Nits. In combination with the wide color gamut and color space coverage this makes excellent specs for HDRHigh Dynamic Range – image/video with more dynamic range (contrast range). And with the Hisense H9G supporting both dynamic standards Dolby VisionDynamic HDR-format with a color depth of up to 12 Bits and Mastering of up to 10,000 Nits and HDR10+License-free, dynamic HDR-format in competition with Dolby Vision you’ll always get the best picture quality possible. It sadly lacks Dolby Vision IQ so when playing Videos with Dolby Vision it can’t optimize the content to the ambient light. As with most VA-LCD-TVs the viewing angles aren’t great so the picture quality will suffer if viewed at an angle.

Hardly any motion blur
The Hisense H9G has a refresh rateHertz is the derived SI-unit of frequency with 1Hz=1/s – When talking about TVs this means how many different pictures a TV can display in one second. of 120 HzHertz is the derived SI-unit of frequency with 1Hz=1/s – When talking about TVs this means how many different pictures a TV can display in one second.. With a response time of just about 3 milliseconds it performs extremely well resulting in hardly any motion blur. The Motion Interpolation Feature introduces quite a few artifacts in hectic scenes. But the 60Hz Black Frame Insertion Feature works just as expected. Moreover with 960 Hz the backlight frequency is high enough to be not perceived as flickering by the human eye. The ULED TV can also remove Judder from any source.

- 120 Hz
- Response Time ~3ms
- Mediocre Motion Interpolation
- 60Hz Black Frame Insertion
- Flicker free
- Can remove Judder
Subpar Gaming Performance
With an input lag of about 15 milliseconds gamers shouldn’t notice any delay. But even though the TV does have a 120Hz Panel it doesn’t properly display 120Hz content so you should stick with 60Hz inputs. But as the H9G lacks any further gaming features like HDIM 2.1, VRR or even an Auto Low Latency Mode, it is ok for the occasional gamer but not for the more serious ones.

- Input Lag ~15ms
- Can't properly display 120Hz content
- No HDMI 2.1
- No VRR
- No ALLM
You should get a soundbar
Unfortunately the stereo sound of the TV isn’t really convincing. The two integrated 10W-speakers can reproduce dialogues quite well and get very loud but they still leave space for improvement because the bass could be louder. The ULED TV supports DTS and Dolby Digital+ over HDMI ARC but lacks an HDMI eARC connection so you can only get the compressed Dolby Atmos signal via Dolby Digital+ with an external soundbar or HiFi system.

- 2.0 channels with 20W
- Clear dialogues
- Lack of Bass
- DTS
- Dolby Atmos via Dolby Digital+
- No HDMI eARC
Ad-free Android Smart TV
In terms of Smart TV the Hisense H9G offers many features and amenities. What is definitely positive is that the whole interface is free from annoying ads and the selection of apps is really huge. The TV operates with Android 9.0 software. The smart remote works with the app Hisense RemoteNOW and voice control via Google Assistant. It isn’t really a premium remote control but it does the job quite well. Sadly there aren’t any further features like Apple Airplay 2 or a smart hub.

- No ads
- Android 9.0 Pie
- Decent Remote Control
- Google Assistant
- No further Smart TV features
Impressive HDR Perfromance at a reasonable price
The Hisense H9G is a well designed TV with impressive picture quality especially for its price point. It can deliver an great HDR Performance in dark rooms. With a decent soundbar you’ll have a great setup for enjoying movies or tv shows in the evening. It doesn’t have any of the recent or next gen gaming features and its picture quality degrades rather quickly if viewed at an angle. But if those two things are of no concern to you the Hisense H9G ULED is a great TV with excellent value for money! It still falls behind real Premium class TVs like OLEDs or more expensive LCD TVs.
- Impressive picture quality
- Great HDR Performance
- Contrast Ratio 10400:1
- Peak Brightness 1800 Nits

Hisense H8G
Cheaper 2020 Hisense ULED TV
When comparing the H9G to the cheaper ULED from 2020, the H8G, there’s a huge difference even though it doesn’t look like it at first sight. The H8G has a lower contrast ratio and doesn’t nearly get as bright as the H9G. Also the reflection handling and motion handling are worse. The H8G’s input lag might be a bit lower but that doesn’t make it a good gaming TV.
TCL 6 Series 2020
The toughtest competition
The TCL 6 series comes close to the H9Gs performance. While black level and contrast ratio are very similar the TCL has a slightly worse local dimming feature and worse reflection handling as well as a slightly higher response time. The TCL 6 series does have better built in speakers though. If you prefer the Android OS on the Hisense or the Doku platform on TCL is a matter of personal preference.
