Hisense UR9 RGB Mini-LED TV Review: Pros and Cons

Quick summary: The Hisense UR9 is a 4K RGB Mini-LED TV. We have one in our bedroom, and it’s a seriously beautiful television. Here’s what stood out in real-world use: viewing angles, sound, motion, the anti-reflective screen, gaming and ports.

Key takeaways

• Viewing angles are excellent. It looks great from the side or head-on.
• The 4.1.2-channel speaker system is maybe the best TV sound I’ve heard, though not a full surround replacement.
• Motion looks buttery smooth, which was the first thing I noticed.
• The anti-reflective screen works great.
• Gamers will be wowed, especially on the bigger sizes.
• Ports include eARC and a USB-C port for a laptop or phone.

Viewing angles

This was one of the first things I checked, and it’s absolutely insane. It loses essentially no quality from the side, so it looks amazing wherever you’re sitting.

Ports

Port selection is always important. On the back, you get eARC for a soundbar or audio system. There’s also a USB-C port so you can connect a gaming laptop, a computer or even your phone. I’m very happy with the port selection.

Sound: 4.1.2-channel speakers

The UR9 has a 4.1.2-channel speaker system. It sounded really, really good, maybe the best speakers I’ve personally heard on a TV. Is it so good you don’t need a surround system? I wouldn’t go that far. But depending on your room, you may not need a soundbar.

Picture: motion, color and brightness

The first thing I noticed was how buttery smooth motion looks. Fast motion and bright colors look fantastic. In nature scenes and sports, the picture is gorgeous. It’s bright enough to blow out my camera. On darker, moodier scenes, it still looks great, and the anti-reflective screen keeps reflections in check.

Gaming

If you’re a gamer, get ready to be wowed, especially on larger sizes like the 65- and 75-inch. Hook up a PS5, PS5 Pro or Xbox Series X and it looks amazing.

Final thoughts

It’s one of the best pictures you can get on a TV. Add the anti-reflective screen, great built-in sound and solid ports, and I’m very, very happy with it.
