Hey everyone. I'm considering the Hisense 65-Inch Class U7 Series Mini-LED ULED 4K UHD Google Smart TV and could use your insights before making a purchase.

I'm especially interested in the picture quality—I've heard great things about the Mini-LED Pro and Full Array Local Dimming, but does it really deliver that vivid, lifelike experience? How does it hold up in dark scenes, and is the peak brightness of 1500 nits as impressive as it sounds?

Sound quality is another big factor for me. The 2.1 multi-channel sound with Dolby Atmos seems promising, but how does it perform in real-world settings? Is it enough for a home theater experience, or do I need to consider a soundbar?

I'm also curious about the overall system. The gaming features like the 144Hz Game Mode Pro and Variable Refresh Rate caught my eye, but for non-gaming content, does the TV still shine?

And of course, I'm always on the lookout for potential downsides. Are there any quirks or drawbacks that I should be aware of before committing?

Thanks for your help!
