Our verdict
The Hisense E7Q Pro is a 65-inch TV that spends its money where gamers notice it. It has HDMI 2.1 connections, the socket type that carries the fastest picture from a PS5, Xbox Series X or gaming PC, so you can leave several consoles plugged in. Hisense says its Quantum Dot screen can show over a billion shades of colour, and its Hi-View Engine processor is designed to improve whatever you watch. The compromises are typical for the price. Control over bright and dark parts of the picture, and how bright HDR films look, vary a lot between Hisense ranges with similar names, so check the exact model. Built-in sound will probably need a soundbar. The 65-inch model was £589 on 1 August 2026.
Buy it if
- You want a big screen for gaming on a modest budget
- You have several consoles and need HDMI 2.1 connections
- You care about colour range more than peak brightness
Skip it if
- You want the best HDR films in a bright room, where a dearer set will be brighter
- You watch a lot of TV and films and want good built-in sound without buying a soundbar
- You are looking at a different size, since the price and specs we quote are for 65 inches

The details, in plain English
Colour and picture
Hisense says the Quantum Dot screen can display over one billion shades of colour. Quantum dots are tiny particles that make colours purer and more vivid, which mostly helps with bright, colourful material. The Hi-View Engine is the TV's processor. Hisense says it continuously improves whatever you are watching. How the set handles dark scenes and HDR brightness varies between Hisense ranges, so read reviews of this exact model.
Gaming
The TV has HDMI 2.1 connections. HDMI 2.1 is the socket standard that carries the fastest, smoothest picture from modern consoles and PCs, so you can keep a PS5, an Xbox and a PC connected together. Hisense also offers smoother motion for sport and fast games. Check that the refresh rate suits your device; the full speed is only useful with a source that can use it.
Sound
Built-in speakers on TVs at this price tend to be thin, and we have no independent measurements for this model's sound. Expect speech to lack clarity at higher volumes and big scenes to lack weight and scale. If you watch a lot of films, sport or dialogue-heavy drama, budget for a soundbar. Adding one is the usual fix and often costs less than moving up to a dearer TV.
The 65-inch price
We priced the 65-inch model at £589 on 1 August 2026, and only that size is used in this review. At this price it must stand on its own instead of borrowing a smaller set's price. Prices can move, so confirm the exact model, size and final basket total before you buy.
Strengths and drawbacks
What it does well
- HDMI 2.1 connections for a PS5 or Xbox Series X
- Quantum Dot colour: Hisense says it shows over a billion shades
- Hi-View Engine processor: designed to improve picture quality across what you watch
- Smoother motion for sport and fast games
- 65 inches for £589
What to watch out for
- Control over bright and dark areas, and HDR brightness, vary between similarly named Hisense ranges
- Built-in sound may need a soundbar for clear speech and impact
- We only assessed the 65-inch model and its price, so other sizes may differ
We compare the E7Q Pro at 65 inches so that screen size cannot hide price differences. Screen type, brightness and motion handling then decide which TV suits you best.

Solves: built-in sound may need a soundbar for clear speech and impact
Sonos Beam (Gen 2) Reviewed by us
A reviewed dialogue-focused soundbar can address the named weak built-in sound. Judge voices at your normal volume and include its cost before choosing the TV.
Check first: No separate bass box included; use compatible TV ARC/eARC or the manufacturer’s optical adapter. Confirm the TV’s exact outputs and plan the occupied HDMI socket.
Solves: built-in sound may need a soundbar for clear speech and impact
Hisense HS3100 Reviewed by us
A lower-recorded-cost reviewed soundbar with a centre speaker and included subwoofer can help voices and film weight if there is room for the bass box.
Check first: Needs floor space and a separate socket for the bass box. Check HDMI ARC or optical output; the review says it is not a very loud large-room system.
