Compare Hisense U75QG vs Hisense 98QD5QG

Picture quality earns broad praise for its brightness, contrast, color, and 4K detail, with only a minority reporting poor tuning or defective panels.

Many buyers rave about vivid, sharp images, but measured contrast and motion are weak and a few owners strongly dislike the picture.

Dark-room performance is good head-on thanks to strong blacks, though blooming and near-black limitations are more visible in very dark conditions.

Washed-out blacks and weak contrast are especially obvious when the lights go down.

HDR brightness is one of the TV’s defining strengths, with measured peaks above 3,000 nits in several tests and very punchy highlights.

HDR highlights lack the luminance needed for a striking effect, especially beside brighter Mini-LED alternatives.

Local dimming is consistently strong for the price, producing deep blacks and effective highlight control across most real-world scenes.

There is no local dimming, leaving dark areas gray and robbing HDR highlights of contrast.

Contrast is a standout strength once local dimming is active, giving bright highlights strong separation from dark backgrounds.

Without local dimming and with weak native contrast, the screen makes dark scenes look gray rather than deep black.

This is one of the TV’s strongest use cases: extreme brightness lets the picture hold up very well in sunny or otherwise bright rooms.

Daylight use works best with curtains closed; strong ambient light is harder for the picture to overcome.

Bass is stronger than on most TVs and can have real weight, although a few reviewers found it boomy or muddy depending on content.

Deep bass is weak according to lab testing, although a buyer liked the built-in subwoofer's sound.

Audio passthrough earns praise for broad format support, although one later firmware complaint involved trouble outputting Dolby Digital.

eARC can pass uncompressed, high-quality audio to an external receiver for more capable home-theater setups.

White balance is excellent in some SDR tests but inconsistent in HDR, where blue or yellow tints were noticeable to several reviewers.

White balance is strong out of the box and becomes even more accurate with calibration.

SDR color can be impressively accurate, while HDR color accuracy is more variable and several users needed substantial adjustment to get a natural image.

SDR colors are impressively accurate straight from the box, with only small deviations most viewers will not notice.

Peak brightness is exceptional for the class and is one of the most consistently praised aspects of the U75QG.

Owners often call the screen bright, yet measured SDR brightness is modest and some buyers find it insufficient.

Brightness stays impressively strong across both highlights and larger bright areas, helping HDR retain impact beyond tiny test windows.

Brightness stays consistent across different highlight sizes, so full-screen bright scenes do not noticeably dim further.

Built-in sound is better than average and often strong enough to skip a soundbar, but several owners report thin dialogue, weak refinement, or defective speakers.

Audio opinions vary widely: some owners are pleased with the speakers, while others complain about weak bass or recommend a soundbar.

Image accuracy is mixed: SDR can be excellent, while HDR tracking, color temperature, and tone mapping can stray noticeably from reference.

Color accuracy is generally acceptable, but HDR mapping errors remain visible in some hues.

Gaming is a major strength overall thanks to low lag, high refresh rates, and strong HDR impact, but motion smearing and VRR quirks divide reviewers.

Low input lag, VRR and 144Hz support excite buyers, but slow pixel transitions undermine the experience in fast-moving titles.

HDR can look spectacular because of the sheer brightness and contrast, but accuracy and tone mapping vary enough to keep the result from being consistently reference-like.

HDR impressions vary widely: some owners are thrilled by 4K HDR videos, whereas testing finds little highlight impact and gray blacks.

Noise-reduction and smoothing tools can clean up low-quality sources while preserving much of the fine detail.

Video compression artifacts are reduced well, helping rougher streams appear cleaner.

Motion handling is polarizing, ranging from very smooth sports and gaming reports to severe blur or lag complaints in fast-moving scenes.

Some owners describe smooth sports and action, but testing and a negative review report clear blur in fast movement.

Input lag is usually excellent in Game Mode, with several measurements around 10ms and many gamers reporting a responsive feel.

Very low lag at 120Hz and 144Hz makes button presses feel responsive despite the panel's sluggish pixel response.

The centrally located feet or pedestal make the TV easier to fit on narrower furniture than widely spaced-leg designs.

The fixed outer feet demand roughly 70 inches of furniture width, catching several buyers off guard.

The stand’s built-in cable management is a small but welcome practical touch.

The rear connection area offers no dedicated cable-management help, making a clean installation harder.

Game Mode usually cuts lag effectively, but a few users found it unavailable or needed extra setup to get the expected behavior.

Gaming-focused picture settings are easy to access and require few changes for low-latency operation.

The center stand is practical and compact, though plastic construction and attachment feel receive mixed comments.

One customer received two right-hand feet, making the included stand unusable.

Pixel response is a split point: some gaming tests call it excellent, while others see slower transitions and visible trailing at high refresh rates.

Pixel response is slow even at high refresh rates, with particularly obvious dark trailing and general motion blur.

The home screen can feel ad-heavy to some owners, including a complaint that there is no simple way to turn those promotions off.

Google TV displays advertisements that cannot be turned off, making the home screen less clean than some owners might prefer.

The remote offers practical shortcut and settings buttons, but its long shape and some button choices are less convenient for certain users.

The absence of a numeric keypad frustrates traditional channel selection.

Color gamut is respectable for the price but does not reach the wider coverage of premium OLED and higher-end Mini-LED sets.

Many owners love the vivid quantum-dot colors; testing also finds strong DCI-P3 coverage, though darker tones are less impressive.

Viewing angles are a consistent weakness on VA-panel sizes, with color and contrast dropping fairly quickly away from center.

The image remains fairly consistent off-center, making a long couch or wider seating layout workable.

The backlit remote is generally well liked for its useful buttons and comfortable feel, though a few owners report pairing or durability problems.

A buyer dislikes the supplied remote, particularly its missing number keys.

Motion clarity is the biggest gaming caveat: multiple testers saw smearing, ghosting, trailing, or persistence blur, especially at certain refresh rates.

Fast objects can trail or smear heavily, a recurring issue in testing and at least one unhappy owner's experience.

The built-in system can get loud easily, though sheer volume does not always translate into the most refined balance.

Volume opinions are split: one owner found it extraordinarily loud, while lab testing says the speakers cannot get very loud.

Glare handling is one of the weaker picture traits; the extreme brightness helps compensate, but direct reflections remain distracting for some viewers.

The matte panel cuts the intensity of direct light reflections, though it cannot fully overcome bright ambient conditions.

Uniformity is generally acceptable but panel-dependent, with mild corner darkening, clouding, or backlight irregularities on some units.

Darkened edges, dirty-screen patches and a reported faulty panel detract from image consistency.

Stability is generally good, with reviewers describing the center-mounted base as sturdy or rock-solid.

The set wobbles a little when touched but settles quickly rather than continuing to sway.

Indirect reflections are handled reasonably well, but direct reflections can still be obvious in bright rooms.

The matte screen deals effectively with direct reflected lights, although scattered glare can remain noticeable in dark scenes.

Motion interpolation can smooth video, but stronger settings may introduce artifacts, skipped frames, or an artificial look that some reviewers disliked intensely.

Motion smoothing creates distracting artifacts and halos around moving people and backgrounds.

Image processing has improved and AI controls can add depth and clarity, but results vary and some reviewers still prefer more expensive processors.

AI upscaling drew enthusiastic praise for making older shows and games look cleaner.

Black levels are a major strength for an LCD, with deep blacks and convincing dark scenes when local dimming is engaged.

Black-level assessments are sharply divided: enthusiastic owners describe deep blacks, while lab testing finds gray, washed-out dark scenes.

Dirty-screen effect varies by unit; a few testers saw mild panel dirtiness while others reported cleaner uniformity.

Darkened edges and a dirty-looking central area can be noticeable over uniform sports fields and other solid colors.

The Game Bar is genuinely useful for changing picture settings, checking frame rate and VRR status, and accessing gaming tools quickly.

The Game Bar provides useful frame-rate information and quick game setting changes without exiting a game.

At least one gamer reported smooth play with no shuddering or frame-rate drops, indicating good stutter behavior in that setup.

Slow response reduces visible frame-to-frame stutter during slow camera pans, though slight judder may still appear.

VRR can run smoothly across a wide range, but other testing found instability around certain frame-rate transitions.

VRR covers most ordinary gaming refresh scenarios but drops out in 1080p/240Hz mode.

Dialogue is usually clear, though some owners found bass-heavy tuning could make speech harder to hear.

Speech sounds reasonably balanced at lower volumes, but becomes less intelligible when the built-in speakers are pushed louder.

Colors are usually described as vivid, punchy, and lively, with brightness helping saturated scenes stand out.

SDR color volume is good, but limited contrast and brightness undermine darker or brighter saturated HDR colors.

4K content looks sharp and detailed, and several owners say even older material looks noticeably clearer after processing.

Native 4K playback looks strikingly sharp across the massive display.

Four HDMI 2.1 inputs are a major advantage for multi-console and PC setups and are repeatedly highlighted as unusually generous at this price.

High-bandwidth connections support advanced gaming, but accounts conflict on whether there are two or four full-bandwidth HDMI 2.1 inputs.

Over-the-air reception is inconsistent: one expert pulled in many channels with a basic antenna, while some owners report weak or choppy local-channel reception.

Over-the-air viewing is limited by the absence of ATSC 3.0, leaving broadcasts capped at 1080p.

VRR support is extensive and useful, but flicker, smearing, and frame-rate transition quirks prevent it from being flawless.

Variable refresh helps prevent tearing, but occasional flicker near 53–54fps prevents flawless operation.

Upscaling is usually good and can make older material look cleaner and sharper, though weak streaming sources still expose processing limits.

DVDs, HD streams and older footage often look cleaner and sharper, though the finest details cannot be restored.

The native high refresh rate is a major selling point, with 165Hz support giving PC gamers more headroom than typical 120Hz TVs.

The 144Hz panel draws praise for making the TV feel unusually gaming-capable at its price.

ALLM is a practical gaming convenience, automatically switching into low-latency play without extra menu work.

Automatic game-mode switching removes a setup step when starting a console game.

The overall HDMI allotment is generous enough for multi-device gaming setups without constant cable swapping.

The combination of high-bandwidth and standard HDMI inputs provides room for several devices.

There are extensive picture controls and calibration options, but several reviewers needed them to tame color temperature, HDR, or brightness behavior.

Color accuracy can improve markedly with calibration, and useful adjustments are available for different viewing conditions.

Most buyers are very happy with the picture and value, but strong negative experiences with reliability, software, and support keep satisfaction from being universal.

The majority of owners are delighted with the size and value, while a smaller group reports severe picture, setup or connectivity problems.

High-refresh gaming is a headline strength, reaching 165Hz in several tests and making the set particularly appealing to PC gamers.

The large 144Hz panel and low lag appeal to gamers, but motion blur persists even at the highest refresh settings.

Google TV’s recommendations are useful for surfacing content based on viewing habits, and reviewers generally liked the discovery experience.

Google TV's personalized recommendations make it easier to discover shows and movies across services.

Lower-resolution content is watchable but inconsistent; some reviewers praise the cleanup while others find older or low-bitrate sources visibly rough.

Compressed, low-quality material is cleaned up effectively, with many artifacts removed and some detail preserved.

The default power-saving mode is easy to change, but reviewers criticized it for noticeably limiting brightness and accuracy out of the box.

A 98-inch screen consumes substantial power, potentially adding noticeably more to the electricity bill than smaller televisions.

G-SYNC compatibility joins FreeSync and HDMI Forum VRR in a broad gaming feature set, though motion behavior can still limit the overall PC-gaming experience.

G-SYNC compatibility helps supported PC systems avoid tearing during changing frame rates.

A reviewer using custom motion controls found a judder setting of 7 a good starting point and described motion as sharp afterward.

The TV removes 24Hz judder automatically, with an additional motion setting needed for some app or broadcast sources.

Reliability is the clearest customer concern, with repeated reports of dead pixels, failed boards, lines, freezing, power issues, and connectivity faults.

Experiences vary from trouble-free use to persistent Wi-Fi disconnections and a set delivered with a nonworking screen.

eARC is useful when it works, but repeated owner reports of dropped ARC/eARC connections and required reboots make it a notable risk area.

The HDMI eARC connection supports high-quality audio transfer to compatible receivers and sound systems.

Customer support is a recurring weakness, with many owners describing slow, unresponsive, or frustrating warranty and troubleshooting experiences.

One owner could not get meaningful Hisense help for persistent Wi-Fi issues, while another had trouble reporting a delivery-service failure to Amazon.

Chromecast is integrated into a Google TV experience that reviewers generally found smooth and convenient to use.

Built-in Chromecast is a convenient way to cast content from a phone without a separate device.

Format passthrough gets enthusiastic approval, including DTS alongside Dolby formats.

Broad audio-format compatibility makes connecting external playback equipment less restrictive.

The up-firing Atmos speakers are unusually effective for a TV, with reviewers describing convincing height effects and better-than-expected immersion.
