Hisense 65UR9SG: 65-inch RGB Mini LED Google TV
The Hisense 65UR9SG is a 65-inch class 4K smart TV that combines RGB Mini LED picture technology with Google TV. It has a 180Hz native refresh rate, 3 HDMI inputs and built-in wireless networking. The Hi-View AI Engine PRO handles picture processing. Its screen and connections suit a mix of films, streamed shows, sports and games, with settings that let you adapt the picture to the source and room.
4K picture and backlight control
The screen has a 3840 x 2160 resolution. Red, green and blue Mini LED light sources illuminate the LCD panel, with full-array local dimming. The RGB backlight provides light and color behind the LCD panel. Local dimming controls different areas as the scene changes, while the processor handles the incoming video signal. A good 4K source can reveal fine texture in faces, clothing and scenery. Lower-resolution programs depend on the quality of the original recording and the TV's processing; upscaling does not replace detail that was never captured.
HDR and film settings
HDR support includes Dolby Vision, Dolby Vision IQ, HDR10, HDR10+, HDR10+ Adaptive and HLG. With a compatible program, these formats carry information for highlights, shadows and color beyond a standard SDR signal. Filmmaker Mode is included. Select the HDR version in your streaming service or player when available. The result also depends on the source, picture settings and light in the room. A bright window facing the screen can still affect the image, so consider seating and light placement along with the TV's picture controls.
Refresh rate and connected games
The 65UR9SG uses a 180Hz native panel. Variable refresh rate, ALLM and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro support compatible game sources. These features apply to compatible sources and signals; the console or PC, cable and selected HDMI settings must work together. A motion-processing rating is not the same as native refresh rate. For play, check the source's resolution and frame rate before selecting its output mode. For films, try the film picture mode before adding motion smoothing, since the preferred look can differ between cinema and live sports.
Google TV and streaming
Google TV includes Google Home and Apple HomeKit/AirPlay compatibility. The built-in interface lets you browse supported apps without an extra streaming box. Internet access, account setup and any required service subscriptions are needed; app and program availability can vary by region and change over time. An external streaming player can also connect through HDMI if you prefer its interface. Use a stable home network for high-resolution streams, since connection quality can affect loading time and the detail delivered by an online service.
Connections for your equipment
3 HDMI inputs provide connections for compatible players, consoles and other video sources. Three HDMI 2.1 inputs include eARC on HDMI 3. USB-C DisplayPort, USB 2.0, USB 3.0 and Ethernet are also provided. Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.4 are built in. Check which input supports the signal you want to use before connecting a high-frame-rate game source. Keep a sound system's audio formats in mind when choosing its connection. Leaving space to reach the sockets also makes it easier to change a cable or add another device after the TV is in place.
Sound and everyday controls
The 4.1.2-channel speaker system is rated at 80W. Dolby Atmos support is included for compatible content, with the listening result depending on the program and speaker setup. A remote control with batteries is included. The TV's own speakers provide a complete basic setup for daily use, while a separate sound system can suit viewers who want more output or a different speaker layout. Voice and smart features may require an account, internet access and supported services; use the remote's standard buttons whenever that is more convenient.
Dimensions, weight and room fit
Without the stand, this model measures 57 x 33 x 1.8 inches in width, height and depth and weighs 53.8 lb. With the stand in the higher position, it measures 57 x 35.4 x 11.4 inches and weighs 62.6 lb. The VESA mounting pattern is 400 x 400 mm. These are TV measurements, not the shipping carton. Check the furniture width and depth, leave room for cables and follow the mounting instructions. The 65-inch class label refers to the screen diagonal rather than the width of the cabinet.
Viewing position and finishing your setup
The Obsidian Panel uses an anti-reflection surface. Sit near the center when assessing picture settings, then check how the image looks from other seats. Allow space around the cabinet for ventilation and place the screen at a comfortable height for your main seat. Once connected, compare a familiar film, a live program and a game to choose the settings that suit each source and the light in your room.
